I do believe Stephen Harper’s communications team includes a Director of Helping Jack Layton Say Really Stupid Things Before The TV Cameras. (Note that you must read to the bottom of Rosemary “if you can’t report – speculate!” Thompson’s item to discover the words “trade mission”.)
An uncanny resemblance.

Brigitte Gabriel (Lebonese), and

I saw their emotional presentations, on the internet, months ago. Although I watch TV very little anymore, I often check the MSM websites daily and have never seen anything on these very telling life-stories.

Bush Set For Climate Change U-Turn
The Guardian UK
Downing Street says that belated US recognition of global warming could lead to a post-Kyoto agreement on curbing emissions.
George Bush is preparing to make a historic shift in his position on global warming when he makes his State of the Union speech later this month, say senior Downing Street officials. Tony Blair hopes that the new stance by the United States will lead to a breakthrough in international talks on climate change and that the outlines of a successor…-

Tomorrow’s the last day that Canada Post is sending cards/packages to Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan for free. You don’t have to pay postage. The package I sent the soldier I’ve adopted would have cost almost $10.00, but I paid only for the bubble envelope.
The Steyn variations
Mark Steyn found it too much fun not to join in Bill Bennett’s inspired “Sandy Berger Lies” contest that has contributed so much to my anger management therapy this week. Seth Leibsohn has kindly forwarded Mark’s three submissions. Mark’s first submission comes complete with directions for recording:
THE SANDY PANTS
(from the film Slick Willie Wonka And The Shop-Lift Factory)
Hey, everybody! Gather round, the Sandy Pants is here! What kind of archival material do you want? Classified documents? Confidential minutes? Intelligence briefings? Cables? You’ve come to the right place, because I’m the Sandy Pants!
(Ooooooo!)
Who can take the memo
Stuff it in his sock
Take it out the building
And then walk it up the block
The Sandy Pants (The Sandy Pants)
Oh, the Sandy Pants can (The Sandy Pants can)
The Sandy Pants can ‘cause he fixes it for Bill
And makes his boss look good (Makes his boss look good)
Who can take the secrets
Out the door at night
Slide them under trailers
On a dark construction site
The Sandy Pants (The Sandy Pants)
Oh, the Sandy Pants can (The Sandy Pants can)
The Sandy Pants can ‘cause he fixes it for Bill
And makes his boss look good (Makes his boss look good) …-
Mark’s second submission draws on the Great American Songbook, with an appropriate nod, if I am not mistaken, to Frank Sinatra:
I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SLACKS
I’ve Got You Under My Slacks
I’ve got you deep in the thighs of me
So deep in my thighs
You’re wat’ring the eyes of me
I’ve Got You Under My Slacks
I tried so hard to relax
I said to myself this report never will fit so well
But why should I try to desist from crimes I commit so well?
I’ve Got You Under My Slacks
I’ll sacrifice nothing much come what might
For the act of stuffing my shorts
‘Cept maybe the feeling that my pants are too tight
And a tickling next to my warts
Don’t I know Billy C says rifle the stacks …-
Mark’s third submission is “for ballad lovers everywhere.” I think that probably means we’re singing this to Bing Crosby’s or Frank Sinatra’s version of the song:
TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS
He may be weary
Sandy does get weary
Wearing the same shabby slacks
But when he’s weary
He goes back in and ransacks
Bill Clinton’s waiting
Just anticipating
Memos he needs from the stacks
When you’re without them
Try ol’ Sandy’s shabby slacks …-

Donate to David Suzuki’s fundamentalist environmentalism causes, shut up or get lambasted!
Climate change debate muddied
Tom Harris and Tim Ball
nanaimobulletin.com
Dec 28 2006
Earlier this month Olympic skiers Thomas Grandi and Sara Renner announced they were joining David Suzuki to fight climate change.
Twice a world Cup gold medal winner, Grandi intends to donate half his circuit winnings this season to the David Suzuki Foundation. Suzuki hopes his “Play it Cool” campaign will attract other athletes.
When asked about the issue by CBC News, Nancy Greene Raine, honoured in 1999 as Canada’s female athlete of the century, expressed reservations about global warming fears. For this, the World Cup and Olympic gold medal skier was lambasted by university and government proponents of the human-caused climate change theory. …
Greene Raine said, “We don’t know what next week’s weather is going to be. To say in 50 or 100 years, the temperature is going to do this is a bit of a stretch for me.”
It is a bit of a stretch for climate scientists as well.
Computer models used to forecast climate decades from now are based on the same fundamentals as models used to predict next week’s weather.
No sensible person would bet on a seven-day weather forecast so why should Canada wager billions on what the models predict for a century from now?
Greene Raine’s caution is justified.
This affair is another example of how the climate science debate has been ruined by politics and bullying. When statements as inoffensive as Greene Raine’s result in indignation and attacks, we know the issue is no longer about science. Instead, it has become fundamentalist environmentalism where no one dare question established dogma, a situation that should make any thinking person skeptical.
Let’s hope parliamentarians think critically about this, the most complex field of science ever studied, before committing Canada to costly and probably impossible and pointless carbon dioxide targets.
Tim Ball, chairman of the Natural Resources Stewardship Project, is a Victoria-based environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg. Tom Harris is an Ottawa-based mechanical engineer and executive director of NRSP….-

Buying Headlines
The Canadian Press issues a warning about headlines on news aggregator sites because they can be bought and paid for:
The site (http://www.bourque.org/), which some reports suggest gets more than five million visits per month, advertises its ability to provide “unique customized tactical messaging capabilities” and lists its services as “banners, headlines, pop polls, e-mail blasts (and) more.”
Visitors to Bourque Newswatch see a page with a series of short, punchy headlines. Clicking on the headline links the reader to a story, usually on an external news site. The link may also be to a news release on a corporate web site, or a polling company survey.
Bourque did not respond to repeated e-mails and phone messages seeking an interview for this story. (jack’s newswatch) …-

Media analysts connected to both the Liberal and Conservative parties said Bourque’s readership is comprised of highly sought-after decision-makers and media, making the portal an effective tool. Depending on the issue, a well-placed Bourque headline and story link can be more effective than a half-page ad in a national newspaper, said one.
Even at up to $10,000 a month for the headline service “it’s really cost-effective,” said a political source. You can also buy the headline service for a day or two at a time, as issues or stories arise that you want highlighted.
Other political clients listed by Bourque include the B.C. Liberal party, Ontario’s Progressive Conservative and Liberal parties, the NDP in Saskatchewan, John Tory’s mayoralty campaign in Toronto and Belinda Stronach’s federal Conservative leadership campaign of 2004.
While it is not known which clients specifically bought headlines, multiple current and former clients say that as a paying advertiser, it is understood you will get favourable news links on the site.
“It reflects badly on all the participants in the scheme, just like the American radio payola scandal in the 1950s,” said one communications lawyer familiar with Bourque’s services who did not want to speak on the record.
Norman Spector, a former chief of staff to Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney who runs his own popular, independent – and non-commercial – news aggregator called Norman’s Spectator (http://members.shaw.ca/nspector4), said he had no idea Bourque’s editorial content could be dictated on a pay-to-play basis. …-

Bourque ?? I was a regular there for a little while.
NeilNews was better.
National Newswatch.com is the best.
If the slease and political hackiness is true of Bourque, that is disgusting. Imagine what the MSM is up to !!??
I think The Governator probably knows quite a bit about Canada. He made several movies in Canada and IIRC he owns (or owned) a place at Silver Star in Vernon.
“Racism, as used today, is a hoax.”
If Mein Kaumpf were written today, there’d be a section in it dedicated to that thought.
CBC aka, the Mosque; sub-branch Regina.
Muslim mosques are the epi-centre now of Muslim jihad.
CBC is a shill for the murderous Muslim Islamist terrorists and their imams-priests who hide in mosques.
Islam’s allies, the MSM and the left-liberal socialists, attempt to silence those who oppose multiculturalism. The epithet “racism/racist” is their attempt to deflect their guilt of being the true racists onto others who oppose their murderous dogmas. Their cry of “racist” is racist, itself.

Muslim Council of Britain Seething About Undercover Documentary
Britain’s Channel 4, normally a den of moonbats, will broadcast a show tomorrow night that goes undercover to expose the prevalence of militant Islamic ideology in Britain’s mosques. Predictably, the Muslim Council of Britain is seething and whining—in this case, in an article published on Iran’s mullah-approved news site: TV documentary accused of misrepresenting UK Muslims.
It’s guilt by association. It’s all taken out of context. It’s demonization. You know the drill by now. (The MCB prefers that the British public remain ignorant of what’s being preached in the country’s mosques.)
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) is accusing Channel Four commercial channel of attempting to foment division and sectarianism among Britain’s 1.8 million Muslim community.
A documentary, being screened Monday, goes undercover at mosques to find what it in its advance publicity are “preachers condemning integration into British society, condemning democracy and praising the Taliban for killing British soldiers.”

Lethbridge Herald has a guest columnist today, with a very muslim name, praising lmotp. In an attempt to cover up the truth about muslims and their rop she says there are many different sects among the shites and sunis and all don’t follow the same things so it would be impossible to cover all of them. I just want the beliefs covered that advocate stoning, beheading, suicide bombers, ied makers, honor killings for a start.
