  1. HOW THE CBC MESSES WITH YOUR MIND!!
    http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/isis-dump-truck-may-have-been-target-of-first-canadian-air-strikes-in-iraq-1.2822495
    The above story was posted on CBC on Mon. Nov 03, 2014 at 5:43 PM ET. Story was updated at 6:38 PM.
    The CBC headline reads: ”ISIS dump truck may have been target of first Canadian air strikes in Iraq.”
    Notice that the headline suggest that our CF-18s were sent out to target one single dump truck.
    This what the National Post reported on November 3, 2014 6:17 PM ET within minutes of the original CBC story.

    The NP Headline reads: ”Matthew Fisher: First Canadian air strikes in Iraq hit large ISIS unit and destroyed five bulldozers.”
    Is it coincidence that the CBC did not allow commenting on this story??

  2. It’s the greatest achievement in human history, and one you probably never heard about
    “I will state, assert and defend the statement that if you love the poor, if you are a good Samaritan, you must stand for the free enterprise system, and you must defend it, not just for ourselves but for people around the world. It is the best anti-poverty measure ever invented.”

  3. Wouldn’t it have been better to drop a couple of cluster bombs on their personnel.
    Yes, a rhetorical question to highlight the futility of this strategy dictated to us by our dear leader, Obomber.

  4. Beat me to it plains drifter.yes the purpose is to make the CF look inept
    I used the cbc search engine and put in justin Trudeau and Stephen Harper ,,article count is 11900 to 1240
    Liberal to conservative. I also tried just Trudeau and just Harper , was even a bigger spread. If I cared I would try mulcair. But I don’t. He can whine by himself
    Mr Harper tear down this corp, or corpse as oblunder would say

  5. Jamie Macmaster:
    A woman walks into her doctor’s office informing him that she had just eaten her placenta only moments after she gave birth.
    The doctor looked at her and said: ”Now–that’s rare!”

  6. Cal2:
    I read you! Life (however) in Iraq has little value. Logistically speaking, replacing five bulldozers is a humongous task! A good used D-9 Cat (2009) with blade and ripper and with 5000 hrs sells for over $450,000 US. Plus you have to get it there. Meanwhile–they have to dig by hand!!

  7. Good News Proles!
    Our betters have decided that we do not need to know about Ebola scares. They will only report Ebola cases if they are confirmed as Ebola cases. So you will find out that the guy that vomited blood on you was positive about 48-72 hours AFTER he did it. And about 0-120 hours before you become sick from Ebola.
    “The Associated Press and other press outlets have agreed not to report on suspected cases of Ebola in the United States until a positive viral RNA test is completed. But I’m covering tonight’s announcement of a potential Ebola case because it has been reported in my area, and at Duke University Medical Center, an institution where I hold an unpaid adjunct associate professor appointment in their Department of Medicine.”

    They keep telling ME not to panic. I am not panicking about Ebola, but I am scared ____-less about how THEY are desperately minimizing it and lying about it.

  8. Plainz,
    I agree, Bulldozers and Engineering vehicles are worth more than tanks in the Mideast. But who owns and operates the things? Were they ISIS or was it poor Achmed, the local excavating company owner trying to survive? “Achmed, build us a berm here or we cut your daughter’s head off!”

  9. Leftists define O’s legacy*.
    …-
    “LAWRENCE MARTIN
    These midterms won’t define Obama”
    “His legacy, much of it already written, will likely be that of a successful president, a rationalist who stabilized the country in times of tumult.” (G-M)
    “Control of the Senate — and Obama’s legacy — is at stake for the Democrats in today’s midterm elections” (G-M)
    …-
    “This is his sole legacy*: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder.”

  10. We need to bulldoze the CBC, let those employed there get out in the real world and earn an honest living, where truth and facts are basic requirements. There should be no state owned broadcasting corporation in this democracy, least of all one which continually presents a political agenda across the board.

  11. Without comment – (from last week)
    Dear Prime Minister – In your speech the other day you stated that we will not be intimidated by cowardly acts committed by terrorists. Now the Minister of National Defence ( or someone) has ordered that military personnel shall hide themselves from public view. What a snivelling response! What message does this convey to actual Islamist fighters or to the somewhat deranged who might care to immitate them?
    Mr Prime Minister, please review this cowardly response,probably made by ‘bureaucrats in uniform’ at NDHQ. This action has the potential to cause additional attacks! Remember the ‘strong horse, weak horse’ analogy.
    Respectfully,

  12. I like the song “Laura” a lot, but that didn’t keep me from enjoying the Spike Jones version. Tears of laughter are running down my face. Thank you. Gotta go vote now.

  13. AGW Kills: IS’O.

    “Eye roller: Climate Change Threatens NASA Space Operations – AGW ‘could pose a risk to its operations and missions’”
    “Apparently with the new Obama administration version of NASA, failure IS an option.
    One of the biggest space disasters ever, the Challenger disaster, was caused by FREEZING COLD WEATHER and idiotic management that ignored risks related to cold weather as warned by engineers.”

    “The NDP has always maintained that chiefs and councillors need to be responsible to band members,” she said.
    [Jean] Crowder said she and her party didn’t support the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA) because they weren’t convinced First Nations community members had enough “financial literacy” to read a financial statement.

  15. It says here that Weird Al Yankovic is the Spike Jones of our time. When your song has been deconstructed/demolished by either Spike Jones or Weird Al Yankovic, you’ve clearly arrived!

  16. Holy wow, maz2. That’s just mind boggling. Global warming is going to cause cold weather, which in turn will lead to bad politically-motivated management decisions? I would never have guessed that.

  17. Michael Brown’s parents are slated to address the 53rd United Nations Committee Against
    Torture in Geneva later this month. I sure hope the attendees understand Ebonics.

  18. ” I sure hope the attendees understand Ebonics.”
    I’ve heard the sign language interpreter from the Nelson Mandela funereal will be there to help out.
