Okay.Hold on a minute. I am totally confuzzed. The Arctic sea ice is melting at a horrendous rate,stranding polar bears,but in Alaska it is growing? Can’t the polar bears feed on the otters? Please send check to save the bears from eating otters.I’ll make sure it gets to Algory.
I am also confused. Isn’t this blog supposed to be written in Saskatchewan? Isn’t the time ahead a couple hours? It’s still April 11 here.

So what? The Liberals have a former separatist as their leader. I presume that the G&M will now start all their Dion headlines with the phrase “former separatist and now Liberal Leader, Stephane”
Good poster!

I’d figured out why there are so many liberals write columns and articles and why liberals suck at talk radio before I read the article!! Duh.
Except by a letter to the editor, and the editors decide which letters are run each day, readers can’t voice their disagreement with the writer about the inaccuracy of their facts, which are either just plain wrong or simply ommitted.
On talk radio, you’ve got to be fast on your feet, with your facts and figures at your fingertips, something Rush Limbaugh and others (sorry, I don’t listen to talk radio; SDA and the Blogging Tories are a great substitute) do with aplomb.
I’ve e-mailed Greg Weston and Jim Travers a few times and have got either a figurative middle finger (Weston) or a circular argument (Travers). No parry and thrust there. Just an implicit “I know better than you.”

Don’t liberals ever check their own closet before they start with their rants against anything the PM does. Codere was on Newman, about to explode in anger, re this appointment. He thinks we will pay attention to anything a terrorist supporter will say. Didn’t the liberals oppose the appointment of a very competent man to be in charge of making said appointments for any head of important departments. The liberals seem to have forgotten that Dion was appointed without being elected as an MP to a cabinet post, that he was/is a separtist. Look how dion is taking the liberals down the toilet.
Greg Weston, today, is urging the PM not to call an election. Is that because he knows Dion will
do worse than Kim, or is he really concerned the voters will rebel against Harper. The libs are having trouble getting candidates and with 16 MPs not running again, dion’s job just got more difficult.

Obviously this lady has not been to Canada… CTV and CBC is a virtual pallative care center for Libby-left journalist has beens.
If there is such a distinction state-side I would attribute it to the fact that print media require less skill or intellectual prowess so it’s a natural for people who let feelings and innuendo rule over reason and fact.
I’ve decided to try my hand at blogging as there doesn’t seem to be many that are focusing on the politics of Alberta. Two by-elections are coming up and probably an election in ’08. Change seems to be in the wind and AB needs a very strong Alberta First agenda.

Thanks Kate, for taking my posts and providing a vehicle that first got me interested in blogging.
The issue of CO2 emissions is diverting attention away from the very serious problem of roadside bombs. Instead of buying carbon credits we should be developing methods to protect those at the pointy end of the stick. As my free gift to those who serve I would propose the following concept. A remote controled vehicle that hovers or flys just above the road bed surface at least 30 meters ahead of it’s mother vehicle. Equiped with ground pentrating radar,cameras and or a bomb sniffer (bees?). The device could be tethered like a remote submersible, receiving power and control from it’s Armoured mother vehicle or controled outside of harms way.
Good point WLR…how many of those Lib lovin’ talking heads would ever take them to task? The Duffster’s on heart meds and I think it’s affecting his ’emotions’.Listening to any CBC radio is like an agenda meeting live broadcast for any lefty.
There are a few that would ask this type of question…but not enough. We need a Hugh Hewitt…he makes them squirm.

Maybe if you showed leadership, put forth actual policies, you would get some respect. Your own party is bailing on you in droves.
BTW, albatross, no more omissions, OK. The Gomery inquiry was not mandated to find criminal or civil blame (read the terms of reference), but to find out what happened in sponsorship scandal and to make recommendations to fix the problem. Out of that have come further investigations which most certainly shall fix blame and resultant consequences. Maybe when Liberals acknowledge they stole taxpayers’ money and decide to pay it back, they will have credibility on this file.

CA: ‘Who are the fanatics now?’ governor asks (attacks those who deny that global warming is real)
WASHINGTON – With his status growing as a national leader against global warming, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger yesterday said in a major speech that those who refuse to address climate change are “fanatics.”
Schwarzenegger, the subject of recent environmental cover stories in Newsweek, Fortune and Outside magazines, said the movement to combat global warming has gone mainstream and those who oppose it are now on the fringes.
“So who are the fanatics now?” Schwarzenegger asked during his address at Georgetown University’s Gaston Hall, which was packed with young adults who twice gave him standing ovations. “They are the ones who are in denial.”
The Republican governor, who has been at odds with the Bush administration over how aggressively to address climate change, said mainstream scientists, corporate CEOs and a majority of Americans are convinced “global warming and climate change is real and that we have to do something about it.”
With the environmental movement growing, he said its image must also change.
“Environmentalists were no fun,” said Schwarzenegger, whose speech was part of a Newsweek-sponsored “Global Environment Leadership Conference.”
“They were like prohibitionists at the fraternity party. We have to make it mainstream, we have to make it sexy, we have to make it attractive so everyone wants to participate,” he said.
On the stage beside the governor, perched atop an easel, was a blowup of the latest cover of Newsweek, which shows Schwarzenegger twirling a globe atop his finger with the headline: “Save the Planet – Or Else.” …-

Peddling Stupidity.
Or, the postmodern scholarship of “radical cyber-feminist” Carolyn Guertin.
“Postmodern prose is perhaps best approached as an exercise in posturing and phonetics, of couching slim and trite observations in needlessly Byzantine language… Efforts to fathom deep meaning, or, very often, meaning of any kind, are generally exhausting and rarely rewarded. More often, what you’ll find is essentially a pile of language, carefully disorganised so as to obscure a lack of content.”
Thanks to the blogging psychoanalyst, Shrinkwrapped, I came across a doctoral dissertation called, rather implausibly, Quantum Feminist Mnemotechnics: the Archival Text, Digital Narrative and the Limits of Memory. The work in question, by “radical cyber-feminist” Carolyn G. Guertin, is apparently the basis of a forthcoming book of the same name. Faced with such an imposing title, one can practically hear the boundaries of human knowledge squealing as they expand. Naturally, I had to find out more.
On visiting Guertin’s website, I discovered that the author is a Senior McLuhan Fellow in the McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto. As a “scholar of women’s art and literature and new media arts,” Dr Guertin also shapes young minds at the Universities of Athabasca and Guelph, Canada, and is a frequent guest speaker at conferences and events across Europe. Her works, I learned, have been published “in print, online and in real space.”
Space crops up quite a bit in Guertin’s dissertation, as do various mathematical, quantum mechanical and geometric terms, the bulk of which are misused in a series of strained and incoherent metaphors. In keeping with many purveyors of postmodern theorising, Guertin has been careful to appropriate fragments of scientific terminology that sound fashionable and exciting, and uses them with no apparent regard for their meaning or relevance. (Entanglement and Hilbert Space are mentioned casually, with no explanation, and for no discernible reason.) Consequently, it’s difficult to fathom the author’s supposed intention, or to determine exactly how far short of that objective her efforts have fallen. Instead, we’re presented with what amounts to a collage of grandiose jargon, habitual non sequitur and unrelated subject matter – including feminism, web browsing and space-time curvature – bolted together by little more than chutzpah:
“Within quantum mechanics, the science of the body in motion, the intricacies of the interiorities of mnemonic time – no longer an arrow – are being realized in the (traditionally) feminized shape of the body of the matrix.”
And,
“Where women have usually been objects to be looked at, hypermedia systems replace the gaze with the empowered look of the embodied browser in motion in archival space. Always in flux, the shape of time’s transformation is a Möbius strip unfolding time into the dynamic space of the postmodern text, into the ‘unfold.’”
And furthermore,
“As quantum interference, the unfold is a gesture that is a sensory interval. In this in-between space, the transformance of the nomadic browser takes place; she performs the embodied knowledge acquired in her navigation of the world of the text.”
I hope that’s clear to everyone. (continued)
