Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
FCPP – It is insane to ignore the voices of the people at the bottom who witness a lack of accountability and transparency in Indian Country. One candidate for national chief, on his campaign website, said that, “First Nations leadership has been challenged by unfounded assertions of lack of accountability and integrity.”
CBC – British Columbia businessman Shawn Atleo became the national chief of the Assembly of First Nations on Thursday morning when his sole remaining contender conceded defeat after the eighth ballot.

In what has to go down as the Least Surprising ConclusionTo An Entertainer’s Biographytm of all time, TMZ is reporting that Michael Jackson has taken the Big Moon Walk at the tender age of 50.
(LA Times confirms)
* And don’t waste your time or mine piling on. You know what I’m talking about.
Update: Prize for the best backhanded obituary of the day goes to Associated Press…

He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his backward-gliding moonwalk, his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves and his high-pitched singing, punctuated with squeals and titters.

Update 2: – Racist!
One last comment:
A “tragic childhood” is a 4 year old in Bangladesh with retinoblastoma. A “tragic life” is a Russian teenager sold into the sex trade.
Michael Jackson did not have a tragic childhood, nor did he have a tragic life.
He had the life he chose.
To excuse his behavior as though it was simply a pre-programmed result of his years as a child performer is not just intellectually lazy, it’s an insult to every individual who has overcome true childhood hardship, deprivation and/or abuse to emerge as a functioning member of society.
Michael Jackson was no bobbing cork on the sea of circumstance – he was a multi-millionaire with the means to choose any lifestyle he wanted. “Functional adult” was one of the options. He chose otherwise.
Celebrate the music if you like, but for decency’s sake, don’t celebrate the man.

Racists – they’re everywhere

According to the “new” GM, racists are even at the Huffington Post.
Or something. When Government Motors and the Huffington Post go to war whose side do you cheer for?
At least GM’s design chief has a glimmer of sense when it comes to diversity:

And as for quantifying my colleagues as old white men, I can only point you to my opinion , that diversity is not only represented in skin color or gender; it is diversity of thoughts, ideas, experiences and opinions of our people, that matters and makes us strong.

Sounds nice, but I wonder what the wise Latina at the Supreme Court will think of that definition of diversity. Or for that matter I wonder if he’s run that by the Car-Salesman-in-Chief.

It’s like Russian history, written backwards!

President Obama is expected to announce late this week that he will create a “cyber czar,” a senior White House official who will have broad authority to develop strategy to protect the nation’s government-run and private computer networks, according to people who have been briefed on the plan.
The adviser will have the most comprehensive mandate granted to such an official to date and will probably be a member of the National Security Council but will report to the national security adviser as well as the senior White House economic adviser, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deliberations are not final.

And, not subject to confirmation hearings.
(One assumes the Kossacks will be tickled red.)

I keep checking there for developments in Lingenscam, but it seems a curtain of silence has descended … Buckdog updates! SDA gets results!
Meanwhile, Yens Pedersen is calling for Link’s resignation.
Update: A response from the Lingenfelter camp mouthpiece Judy Junor via a call to John Gormley Live. They’re accusing Pedersen of irresponsibility and demagoguery, and warning that this incident could damage the party if candidates insisted on pursuing it… heh.
When Junor was asked why Lingenfelter himself wasn’t answering the charge, she explained he was on his farm near Shaunavon – where apparently, they still lack phone service.
It gets better – Among the names on the list is Clayton Matchee, the former Canadian soldier who last fall saw charges of torture and murder of a Somali youth in 1993 dropped by the military because he was unfit to stand trial due to brain damage. It was unclear whether Matchee had agreed to join the party.

Be still, my beating heart.
If ever there were two more perfect for each other…think Love Story, but with leftist head explosions. Or When Harry Met Sally with real geiger-counters instead fake orgasms. Romeo and Juliet living happily ever after, while David Suzuki raises a poisoned chalice to his own fatal despair.
Saskatchewan, we have seen the future, and it is us: nuclear-powered drilling rigs.
Does it get any better than that?

Y2Kyoto: Remember To Speak In TALKING POINTS

NYT;

Instead of grim warnings about global warming, the firm advises, talk about “our deteriorating atmosphere.” Drop discussions of carbon dioxide and bring up “moving away from the dirty fuels of the past.” Don’t confuse people with cap and trade; use terms like “cap and cash back” or “pollution reduction refund.”

Missing from the article – “When faced with credible arguments, smear your opponents by invoking the Holocaust.” (link fixed)
