The Globe and Mail – is it a newspaper, or is it a safe injection site for addicts of BDS?

“For some Europeans, especially the French, Lance Armstrong is George Bush on a bike…”

Read the whole sorry mess at “Obama, Russia and Fact-Checking John Ibbitson’s Ass“.

Instead of quoting directly from the column, I’ll just link to Ted’s excellent dissection using the internationally recognized acronym for mind-numbingly bad writing – H.E.A.T.H.E.R.M.A.L.L.I.C.K.

In this latest Equalization tirade, the whole thing is merely cover for the real story: a year after finishing a string of record surpluses, [Newfoundland] is facing deficits that will run, according to the first townie first minister in this place since the Great Depression, somewhere between $500 million and $1.2 billion in just a single year. No forecast for what may come after that.
A year after finishing a string of record surpluses, Danny Williams’ Provincial Conservatives are set to record deficits the likes of which have not been seen in Newfoundland and Labrador since before 1934.
For those who do not know, 1934 is the year the Newfoundland voted to give up democracy.

These two passages are part of the same Margaret Wente column;

If Michaëlle Jean agrees to give Stephen Harper a second chance, she’ll put him on a short leash. I like that image. After all, he’s been a naughty puppy. He peed all over Parliament, then bared his teeth.

This business has become embarrassing. Remember when we used to ridicule the Americans for having a political culture that was moronic, juvenile and destructive?

Tell us what you really think. No, really –

“In this climate, what might seem to be Gov. Palin’s blatant struggles with inadequacy serve as proof of her potential to lead. She wins the vicarious sweepstakes hands down. Every revelation of a seeming deficiency in her temperament, judgment or character offers a new avenue of access into her life.”
“[I]n Sen. Obama’s elevated way of thinking and speaking, he cannot touch what seem to be the mean, petty, vindictive, narrow-minded hockey mom’s achievements in the realm of sheer human messiness.”

As the sun sets on the term of this generation’s best-loved president, one of Canada’s more convincing writers sees dark clouds on the horizon…

They do not want to hear that Barack Obama is as much an American as they are, and who has had to explain more times than he should have that he is not a Muslim, but a secular Christian. They do not want to hear that he is a better American than they are, these right-wing extremist fascists in the land of America who no doubt believe it’s God’s will Barack Obama not get to the White House, no method of deterrence out of bounds, in their zealotry to protect and perpetuate Roy Rogers, John Wayne, Mom’s apple pie, and the cross of Jesus in every home.
[…]
No doubt right now in America some person, some group, is thinking of how to assassinate Barack Obama and no one should be surprised at one of the demented reasons given for fearing him: That Barack Obama is the new “Manchurian Candidate,” that Barack Obama — as captured Korean War U.S soldier Lawrence Harvey in the 1962 movie was brainwashed by the communists and programmed in his subconscious through a playing card to assassinate a right-wing presidential nominee — is a plant by America’s Islamic enemies to destroy the nation from within.

Read on. Apparently, they’ve developed an anti-coherency bomb.

No longer employed by Jew run* media.

Anthropomorphic “science writing” at its stellar best – complete with violent batterers, hugging quadruplets and post-menopausals giving “unlikely birth”.

“The written word, condensed, fractured and often discombobulated by cyberspace, is unique. It knits together disparate ideas and provides a backdrop for coherent reflection and discussion.” *
