“In a move that will stun the Muslim world, Sheikh Ali Gomaa, the Grand Mufti of Egypt and one of the highest-ranking Sunni authorities, has said that hymen reconstruction surgery for women who have lost their virginity before marriage is halal (permissible) and that a man has no right to demand proof of a woman’s virginity if he cannot provide proof of his own.”

A scathing editorial in the Washington Post;

Mr. Murtha’s cynicism is matched by an alarming ignorance about conditions in Iraq. He continues to insist that Iraq “would be more stable with us out of there,” in spite of the consensus of U.S. intelligence agencies that early withdrawal would produce “massive civilian casualties.” He says he wants to force the administration to “bulldoze” the Abu Ghraib prison, even though it was emptied of prisoners and turned over to the Iraqi government last year. He wants to “get our troops out of the Green Zone” because “they are living in Saddam Hussein’s palace”; could he be unaware that the zone’s primary occupants are the Iraqi government and the U.S. Embassy?

Plans for a 70,000 member “supermosque” in London will be blocked by the British government.

I have lots on my plate this weekend, so blogging will be light. Use this thread for those link dumps you’re just itching to share.

“The CBC and Canadian nationalists are inevitably crying foul. They claim that the CTF’s origins lay in a deal cooked up between the cable companies and the CRTC in the early 1990s under which the cable guys were allowed to soak consumers to fund capital expansion. In return they agreed to subsidize Canadian programming via a special fund, which became the CTF, into which Ottawa also kicks $100-million annually. The nationalist rationale thus seems to be that since the consumer got hosed by regulators, she should be twice hosed by having to pay for programs she doesn’t want to see.”

For your convenience: Ralph Goodale’s contact info. It might be a good time to ask the good MP why his party supports the crippling of Saskatchewan’s energy resource industry and power generation capacities through implementation of Kyoto. You might copy your correspondence to Lorne Calvert. It’s time he said something for the record – SaskPower is the nation’s #3 GHG emitter.

… the Sheik watched as the Marines detained the two young men in the house, volunteering that if they were “bad guys” he was happy to see them go. “You and I are going to find a way to work together to make this area better,” he told Lt Friel, “like Ramadi.” The Sheik added that it was “Iranians and foreigners” who were destabilizing his tribal area. “Iranians are forcing out the doctors and teachers. Soon this town will look like Afghanistan.”

Inspired by “Captain Me”, The Toronto Sun is crossing the editorial floor.
Speaking of Garth Turner, inflated egos, blogs and other such stuff – when is media going to begin verifying traffic claims before putting them to print or air? Traffic inflation is a phenomenon almost completely confined to politicians, journos and purple-dinosaur-waving talking heads – because real bloggers know tools exist to “fact check your ass”.

“Were one to use Democratic Underground’s forum as an example, you’d think liberals are incapably of understanding simple nouns unless they are bookended with swear words. It’s almost like a typing form of Tourette’s syndrome.

I put in a 16 hour day yesterday, (in addition to blogging), and a lot of deadline work on my plate this week. Blogging will be a bit slow until I’m caught up a little.

Busy day in the bodyshop (next few days, actually), so things will get off the ground slowly today. Flames. Ugh. It’s not that I don’t like how they look – they’re just so bloody much work and technically unforgiving.
In the meantime, check out the blogroll. Plus, there’s lots of good items linked at National News Watch this morning.
Check ’em out, and I’ll be back when I get back.
As of this morning, Google News pulls up nothing from the MSM on the radioactive remarks by Liberal energy critic, Mark Holland.
And if you’re one of those out there scratching your head about why this is such a “big deal” – imagine, for a moment, that Stockwell Day had blown into Montreal in 2005 and mused on live radio that a Conservative government might make transfer payments to the province contingent on Quebec going English only.
That help?

We all miss the ocean, Phil.

Even though the death of the oceans made me sad, I’ve gotten over it by now. I’m resilient that way.

And the oil, too. And the millions of people who ate us into extinction in the ’80’s.
“Contrary to what some say, Canada wasn’t roaring to sustainability as Harper won, but running to Armageddon with an emissions record worse than Bush. It is a test for lefties.”

“Today, I’ve received information from the east coast that some journalists have been sniffing around the shipyards on what is either a similar project or an extension of this one. Which means that information on this project is going to be out there in a couple of days. And I’d bet good money that the way that information is presented is going to be wrong.”
Well, now we know what that “L” on his forehead stands for!
“Deborah Gyapong reported in Canadian Catholic News that Stein proposed traditional religious groups essentially must either abandon any religious beliefs that conflict with the ideologies of the state, notably that of radical feminism, or cease to make any claims to special financial considerations for their charitable, non-profit works for the community.”
