Voter fraud sure is prevalent.
You Americans and your pretend Democracy, so cute.
Howard Dean II
“However, the Trudeau team — which has boasted of signing up as many as 165,000 supporters — has written the co-chairs of the leadership vote rules committee, expressing concern about numerous technical glitches that are preventing people from registering.”
Roll On
Sometime around ’92, I was aboard HMCS Saskatchewan and we were doing a refueling and resupply at sea. As we came up to the resupply ship, this was played over the loudspeakers.
Roll on, Tom, roll on.
Your moral and intellectual superiors
Was: “Sarah Palin Joins Al-Jezeera”, now: “Sarah Palin tries to stay relevant”.
Politico has the back-story.
I guess it’s proof the education system is failing students when a reporter gets tripped up by a site called the The Daily Currant.
I guess the author of “Sex in the South: Unbuckling the Bible Belt.” projects her fear of the evangelicals under her bed.

Clare v. Cukier
Sheldon Clare of the NFA is debating Wendy Cukier of Coalition for Gun Control on the CBC fifth estate Webinar tonight.
Welcome to our live chat. Tonight’s fifth estate – Crossfire – takes aim at the furious fight over guns in America. Tune in on CBC Television this evening at 9 PM local time (9:30 NT) and share your thoughts on where you stand. We will be joined by guests on both sides of the firing line starting at 8 PM ET.
I wonder if they’ll take questions from the online audience…assuming there is an audience.
The not-so stupid party?
I’m not convinced yet. I also find the last sentence questionable.
…Barack Obama will have to accept that reality and get serious about budget reform on the other side of the ledger.
I don’t believe that Obama is mentally capable enough to get serious about anything except how many rabbits he can get out of his genetic lottery win.

So, he was AWOL….
when people were dying.
And so was she.
Remember, “We had no assets in place”. Apparently they divined that from the tea leaves because they certainly didn’t ask anyone.
Awesome leadership you have there, America, just bloody awesome. You must be so proud you managed to break the race-barrier, still working on competency, mind you, but baby-steps, eh?
It’s Probably Nothing
Surprising absolutely no one who can add:
“CBO’s baseline confirms that the nation, despite claims to the contrary, remains on a damaging debt pathway.” They observe that debt will remain over 90 percent of gross domestic product for the period 2013-2023, resulting in a drag on growth equal to 1 percent per year. That translates into a total loss of 11 million jobs for that period. Moreover, by 2023 Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security will comprise about 64 percent of the budget, “crowding out other federal priorities.”
Okay, maybe surprising Democratic voters….
Dr. Mulcair’s diagnosis
From barely right to barely watched.
FNC drops out of competition for the lucrative tarot and palm reading market, capitulates to Piers Morgan.
I’ve actually been missing out on my “Dick Morris dot com” references.
Petraeus
Before anyone jumps the gun about Benghazi or other theories regarding Patraeus’ resignation, it should be noted that having a secret affair while involved in the CIA is a very big deal.
You understand that he has some very big things in his head that have to remain secret. Setting yourself up for blackmail is a bad thing. He had to come clean.
You broke it, You bought it.
After Obama reelection coal company CEO reads prayer to staff, announces layoffs
The head shaking part is in the comments. Lots of hate and ignorance about their own law.
All these layoffs are because the 2014 Obamacare fines will be calculated using 2013 full-time employee numbers over 50. All these hour reductions down to 29 hours? The bill redefines “full-time” as 30 hours of work a week.

Quantitative Easing – An analogy
Player A has a pile of marbles; Player B has a pile of Smarties. Both piles have a value exactly the same.
Player A trades a 1 marble for 10 Smarties. Can’t quite snack or play a game of marbles.
Referee gives Player A 10 more marbles; Player B looks at this and wonders and so asks Player A for 8 marbles for 10 Smarties. Still can’t snack or play.
Referee gives Player A 10 more marbles; Player B starts thinking the game is rigged. Player A agrees to trade 16 marbles for 10 Smarties.
You now understand how “Quantitative Easing” works and how the American dollar soon won’t be able to buy any Smarties. We also call this “inflation” and “devaluation”. You may want to google Zimbabwe and/or the Weimar Republic.
Good.
The sooner we get to the point where the general public recognizes journalists as professional bloggers, the better we’ll all be.
DD: That doesn’t seem to be something news companies will be able to do. So, is there a way for journalism to be commercially successful on the Web?
JG: The future of journalism isn’t necessarily a commercial enterprise.

“I Won”
RIP, Benghazi Four, RIP.
One senior GOP Senate staffer told The Cable that State is only making the documents available for senators and committee staff to view today and tomorrow, which won’t actually allow the members to prepare for the hearing. Staffers for committee members are also not allowed to see the material.
“Funny since no member is in town,” the aide said. “The timing and limited access clearly demonstrates the administration cares more about playing politics with the tragedy than accepting responsibility.”
Wait, What?
When did ‘prorogue’ become fashionable again? Not just some silly little 20 day prorogue either.
Not to worry though. I understand that the Left is organizing a day of protest over this dramatic body blow to our democracy. Mansbridge is breathless. Occupy is organizing, the unions are printing up signs. Quebec has promised another referendum. TorStar, Globe & Mail and the Nat. Post have run leads for the last week…oh, wait.
It wasn’t Harper?
Never mind, didn’t happen. Nothing to see here. Move along.
You Broke It, You Bought It
Here’s Those Layoffs We Voted For
I particularly enjoyed the ‘Drama Queen’ reply.
This may be interesting to watch in January.

You broke it, you bought it.
I wonder how this tastes?
As a word of warning, this place will get lousy w/ trolls for the next little while. Please don’t feed them.
