  1. Re plot to kill Dane cartoonist: I am beginning to muse an idea of starting a charter deportation company. I will rent a few derelict ships and sell my services to the governments of the world, bothered by onslaught of foreigners, who refuse to live up to the standards and traditions of the hosts.

  2. new game show for you kiddies ‘Name that TV channel’..can you guess ?
    Ch.1: political reporter states still much controversy and confusion in the Lib.caucus over the Afghan.policy,especially since Pablo’s(of Pablogate fame) statements this a.m. with a ‘completely different’view.
    Ch.2:the host states’the Libs have the Cons.on their back foot now’,and goes on to rave about the Libs cohesive policy on Afghan.
    Two guesses and I’m sure you won’t have much trouble!

  3. Shamrock has hit the nail right on the head(not bad for a low shoes kind of guy..lol).
    If sending our troops into 3rd world s@#$holes, in open air jeeps, with improper cam, with no air support, with no medi-vac, with those blue helmets shining like the targets they are, etc, etc, etc, is what taliban jack and bombardion have in mind, they can just go and f@#$ themselves!
    Enough Canadian troops have died because of librano cuts and penny pinching. Equip them for war, and let em fight without one arm tied behind their backs.

  4. Sammy I’m calling it Thomas Scott day remember the guy Riel killed for insubordination. So it’s ok for lefties to name holidays after people who think the death penalty should be meted out for insubordination but Clifford Olson deserves parole hearings every 2 years.
    Actually that really, really, pisses me off I used to email everyone like 10 years ago to get family day recognized as a holiday now we get a holiday named after a lunatic murderer. Things just turn out as you plan them.

    Thomas Scott was born in Ireland in 1846. He arrived in Canada about 1863. He came west from Ontario before 1869 to work on the Dawson road. He joined the Canadian forces resisting Riel’s provisional government, but was taken prisoner by Riel on 17 February 1870. He was tried by court martial for insubordination and was shot at Fort Garry on 4 March 1870. The execution shocked Ontario and embittered Canadian politics. His burial place has never been substantiated.
    He is commemorated by Scott Street in Winnipeg.

    Good ole Louis never even cared to put up a cross for Mr Scott just threw him in the river or something.

    I’m touching it up to repost Monday!
    Why do I get the feeling I should be saving all the pages at the historical society before they are stalinized. err sanitised.
    Doug I think we dinos can make a comeback through cloning.

  6. Bluetech,you win the prize! I was going to disqualify Liz,as I knew she would get it right away.Nice to know ol’ Newman never disappoints.Honestly,I don’t know why I watch,but my feeble excuse is,it gets my heart rate up better than a speedwalking session.

  7. Now that you brought ‘Scott’ Street to their attention, Dino, it will probably be renamed to something more poltically correct when you go down it on Monday.
    Place names are almost always symbols of past political domination.

  9. so premier mcslippery wants to change the lord’s prayer because there are more than 50% ethnic peoples in the GTA. interesting. is the GTA now the entire province ? what about the rest of the province dalton do they have the same demographics ? he just about screwed up on sharia law implimentation now he’s at it again.

  10. The year Chretien canned the airborne regiment was the same year in Germany that a first time applicant[the airborne]won an infantry competition involving most well known and trained infantry from around the world.Do we celebrate,no,we liquidate.I still have my maroon beret proudly on display.

  11. A laugh for today. Reuters story about the, yawn, possibility Grits won’t defeat budget and force election:
    “We get to decide when he is defeated. He doesn’t,” the Liberal official told Reuters.
    That’s like saying a condemned man gets to decide the date of his execution.
    “Asked whether supporting the budget could be damaging politically, the official replied: “It’s not a case of supporting the Conservatives over the budget, but rather a case of not bringing them down over it.”
    That’s right. They didn’t walk out on the crime bill vote, they actually voted against it, or decided to let the government live longer. How magnanamous (sp?).
    Oh, and this from Pablo “Kyotoman” Rodriguez re: Afghanistan compromise:
    “The nuance is very important,” he said. “What Mr. Harper wants to do is put a cloud around this whole thing and blur your vision so you would say to the people that there is no difference between the two, when there is a huge one.”
    He said he will urge fellow MPs to emphasize the difference.”
    Of course; they will emphasize the differences, then vote for the bill. That makes a lot of sense Pablo.
    As usual, they haven’t got the b***s to force an election. Reuters also made a quip about fixed election dates leaving Harper unable to just call election. That would be the fixed election dates bill that the Tories passed, wouldn’t it.
    But then again, the Grits and Tories are “statistically tied” in the polls. Yes, those polls always reflect what election result is. With one exception, they weren’t even close the weekend before the last election, the one where Tories were something like 15% behind Grits after Christmas. Harper and Tories must be shaking in their boots – thank God they have been given a reprieve by Dion.
    I know people said this about Harper, but Dion is unelectable as PM, IMO. Ask yourself, will Dion gain or lose support in an election campaign, where he will be challenged by all parties, even the media, and have to actually announce and defend a platform, particularly in debates.
    I doubt Dizzie May can help him here, but we shall see; in Oct 09 that is.

  12. Well Nazi comparisons got them in trouble so now the slaughter house known as PETA are now using the KKK.
    “This week, the group is starting an advertising campaign in New York and other cities that advocates dog population control, including one commercial that likens dog breeders to the Ku Klux Klan…”

  13. Not sure if prev.mentiones here,but Lew McKenzie has ecellent column in the opinions section of G&M.Have a read of the comments,some pretty disgusting stuff.

  14. Oh yeah, another laugh for me today. Francis Russell, in Winnipeg Free Press, arguing Harper using wedge politics:
    “Harper’s persona and political style is the polar opposite of unification politics. His two non-confidence motions are all about raw political advantage — driving wedges into Liberals.”
    There is a wedge alright, the one separating the Liberals from the keys to the trough to pay off their unemployed hacks.
    Add this columnist to your MSM Grit sycophant list.

  15. ET @ 9:53 a.m., my sentiments exactly, which I thought the minute I read the NP article this morning.
    I’m sure Soharwardy was persuaded by the HRC to drop the case and that they scripted his amazing comments—altogether different from his barely literate hand scrawled complaint—which effectively subvert the despicable Section 13 harassment the HRCs have been perpetrating for decades.
    After the admission by Soharwardy (sic), a Muslim, that “Over the two years that we have gone through the process, I understand that most Canadians see this as an issue of freedom of speech, that that principle is sacred and holy in our society,” how can the HRCs possibly continue to abuse Canadians by ignoring their basic rights and freedoms—and via a process which entirely makes a mockery of due process?
    1984 in 2008: I hope Canadians finally wake up to the fact that our overlords are like snakes to our mice.
    Bless Ezra Levant for his guts and intelligence. Of course he should sue both Sohawardy and the HRC for their totalitarian bullying of law abiding Canadian citizens. Enough!

  16. P.S. If it wouldn’t compromise his chances of winning–and it might: I’m not a lawyer–I’d like Levant to consider making the case a class action one so that other victims of the HRCs, e.g., Scott Brockie, could also be vindicated and receive restitution for the very considerable suffering they’ve endured at the hands of the HRCs.

  17. http://climatedebatedaily.com/
    A new site that presents arguments, from both sides, on the cause and impact of climate. They will receive input from the reader, as well.
    This is their stated mission:
    “Climate Debate Daily is intended to deepen our understanding of disputes over climate change and the human contribution to it. The site links to scientific articles, news stories, economic studies, polemics, historical articles, PR releases, editorials, feature commentaries, and blog entries. The main column on the left includes arguments and evidence generally in support of the IPCC position on the reality of signficant anthropogenic global warming. The right-hand column includes material skeptical of the IPCC position and the notion that anthropogenic global warming represents a genuine threat to humanity.”

    Most valuable link today!
    ===========================
    Charles* link should be printed out and kept as a reference. Size up the font and it prints out in 13 pages.
    Start reading from Page 8 first. [Afghanistan and Pakistan ]. . . Just excellent! Saves you buying a book.
    [ Important. . The Real Problem ]Page 9
    If undertaken at this late date, American strikes inside Pakistan would roil our relations with the Pakistani military and make life more dangerous for Americans living in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
    Our intelligence cooperation with Islamabad would probably suffer severely. Even secular Pakistanis might rise in indignation. On the other hand, what we have now is definitely not working. We will surely rue the day the United States allowed al Qaeda and its sympathizers a place to grow unmolested.
    As Britain’s internal-security service, MI5, is well aware, the Pakistani connection is now the most worrisome nexus for al Qaeda to exploit, what with the enormous number of Pakistanis traveling between the two countries. According to British internal-security officials, every year upwards of 80,000 Pakistanis resident in the United Kingdom,
    ==============================================
    many of them British citizens, visit areas of Pakistan that are * rich with jihadists.* Other European countries also have Pakistani communities. The discovery of jihadist cells within them is becoming a regular occurrence.
    So far, the Pakistani military has proven itself unwilling or unable to fight it out with Pashtun fundamentalists who live near the Afghan-Pakistani border.
    With America’s strong encouragement, President Musharraf attempted to extend his writ into the tribal regions. He failed abysmally, watching Pashtun forces in the army and the frontier constabulary grumble and often desert.
    Unless we deploy a lot more troops to Afghanistan to implement an * ink-spot * counterinsurgency akin to the one led by General Petraeus in Iraq, it’s doubtful the United States and NATO can reverse the ascendancy of the Taliban among the Pashtuns.
    Since we don’t want to invade another country, we will give the Pakistani army another chance to destroy al Qaeda and neutralize the Taliban. But if the Pakistanis don’t do what is necessary in the next 12 months, they probably never will.
    And note: If Washington is reluctant to launch paramilitary strikes into northwestern Pakistan to kill members of al Qaeda and disrupt new terrorist training camps, it definitely isn’t going to launch covert operations to neutralize Pakistan’s nuclear weapons in the event the Pakistani army becomes too Islamic. The level of intestinal fortitude and the quality of intelligence required for the former is vastly less than would be required for the latter.

    That*s the picture, not pretty, but REAL. = TG

  19. On the brighter side, one would assume that drone flight intelligence has given them a pretty good road map for targets so hits would be devastating. = TG

  23. Is dion trying to get all his MPs on Workers Comp? … dangers of leading from behind.

  24. “This sheep-faced cleric casually throws away the work of centuries of civilization”.
    Its a laugh that Hitchen’s complaint is the ‘throwing away of centuries of work’!
    Nobody talks in circles like an atheist on a mission.
    As I’ve mentioned before, the Archbishop has an unfortunate history of expressing himself confusingly in person. (This , no doubt, makes him a favourite with journalists.) His written work is extensive and varied. He’s rather an odd choice for a ‘spokesman’ position, but I guess they’re just figuring this out now…!?
