Thinks reader Carolyn M., who sent along this sad news of the demise of one of our countrymen in a Denver hotel room;
It was not clear if Abdirahman (Kill Them , Kill them, Kill them, that is my massage!) Dirie and Saleman Abdirahman (just a schizophrenic with a pound of cyanide) Dirie are the same person.
“I wonder what will happen when we finally reach our goal of thoroughly ruining our country — its economy, its credibility and its social values — and are in need of help from the very people we are killing.”
From a reader;
Regarding the link in the Catholic Insight posting:
This July, I happen to be in a family restaurant here in Regina, and my daughter (11) handed me this newspaper called “Prairie Dog”. I was going to just toss it…..because it is just an NDP/Union mouthpiece piece of garbage.
But I decided to have a peek (luckily my daughter didn’t). As per the attachments, you can see I was disgusted with the contents (also, this piece of garbage is left out in the open where everyone, including my daughter, or any other minor, can just grab it and read it).
Two of those attachments are here and here. (NSfW)
More on Heritage Canada’s new interest in Catholic Insight’s content;
The 1st two jpegs are the complainants letter to Heritage Canada decrying their slow pace of action on the Catholic Insight file. The second letter again in jpeg format was sent by Scott Shortliffe Director, Periodical Publishing Policy & Programs Department of Canadian Heritage in which he thanks Father de Valk for agreeing to comply with Heritage Canada’s request that Catholic Insight provide copies of each issue of their periodical for “monitoring purposes”.
[…]
So there you have it, in Heritage Canada’s moral universe, pedophiliac wish dreams and Gay Porn are considered a wise cultural investment, while Father de Valk is threatened with having his funding cut off for having the nerve to support traditional values and communicating church doctrine. Nope, no double standard here.

We are asked to believe that plastic flowers are too dangerous to leave in a cemetery because, according to a council spokeswoman, they could get caught up in lawnmowers, and “the bits of plastic flying around could be very dangerous.”
Too bad for the Nazis they didn’t think of dropping bits of plastic flowers during the Blitz, instead of bombs. Evidently the British would have surrendered.

International Olympic Committee executive director Gilbert Felli also defended the use of a more photogenic double, comparing it to an athlete taking part in Olympic qualification and then being dropped for the main event.”
Or, having the superior bid as an Olympic hosting city, but being dropped in favour of better offers.
Asked how Yang’s parents would explain the decision to her, Felli added: “That is what it is in sport, in life.”

Is there nothing that Obama can’t do?
“It was a bad crisis for the world. It required tough words but also a smart
approach to call on the international community to step in. And I’m very,
very happy that the Senator’s request for a ceasefire has been complied with
by President Medvedev.”

I now realize that I was in Canada, where only politically correct speech is protected.
I was in Canada, the land of cultural relativism, where the most important value is tolerance. Criticizing any other country or culture is a breach of the now distorted policy of multiculturalism. Now, I would pay the price.
If I had only known how big a price.
A young man came in and sat in the second row. He picked up a copy of my book from the table, took a perfunctory look at it, and started interrupting me.
“You think all Muslims are terrorists,” he asserted.
“I do not,” I replied, as categorically as possible.
“Well, that’s what your book says,” he retorted.
It looked to me as if he had just taken a few glances at it, so I replied: “Have you read my book?” He paused and then said, “Part.”
I decided not to take him seriously and I continued. Another mistake.
Suddenly a man appeared, standing off to my left, and started into a rant. It was something about how the Americans and the Israelis are the real terrorists, and that democracy is really fascist. He was scary.
University of Waterloo Professor Dennis Stoutenburg was there and tried to calm the man.
“Sir, this is a lecture. Why don’t you sit down and listen?”
Another mistake.
Read the rest.

Is there nothing that Obama can’t do?
Democratic Party insiders have revealed that Clooney and Obama regularly send texts and emails to each other and speak by phone at least twice a week.
One said last night: ‘They are extremely close. A number of members of the Hollywood community, including Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, offered to help raise funds for Barack but it was with George that he struck up this amazing affinity.
‘George has been giving him advice on things such as presentation, public speaking and body language and he also emails him constantly about policy, especially the Middle East.
Update – “This new conflict in Europe touches some very deep feelings for Michelle and I. On one hand, we’ve always felt a certain kinship with the Georgians ever since our first campaign stop in Atlanta; on the other, our library is adorned with only turn of the century neo-primitive Russian art. Alas, such is the burden of leadership.”

President Bush delivered a brief, stern warning to Russia this afternoon, and told Moscow that its attacks in Georgia had “substantially damaged” its standing in the world and its relations with the West.
Speaking at a lectern on the stone steps leading to the Rose Garden from the colonnade outside the Cabinet Room, Bush said he was “deeply concerned” about attacks on the city of Gori and threats to the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
Noting evidence that Russia may be preparing to bomb the capital’s civilian airport, he said such a move would be a “dramatic and brutal” expansion of the conflict, which began over the disputed territory of South Ossetia.
