I was overseas when Obama gave his momentous Isis address, but figured I could pretty much guess how things would go. Despite being the greatest orator of the last thousand years…
In all honesty one must go with the GröFaz, though that he definitively turned out not to be that, for the orator gig. At least within memory of thousand year realms. Please no Godwin’s Law responses.

BWWAAHAAAA!!! Obama Sees 2002 Iraq War Resolution As A Legal Basis For Airstrikes.
Coming out in favour of bloated, intrusive, debt-ridden big government:
“(Federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver) should be working alongside Premier (Kathleen) Wynne to build a plan to help Ontario proper. Instead, what does he do? When she put out a budget focused on jobs and growth, he attacked it as a ‘route to economic decline.'”
Golly, I wonder what Trudeau II’s economic policies for the rest of Canada would be if he were to become PM.

From John Batchelor’s show:
Today, we learn that mathematical logic is oppressive…
Teacher Group: Math is “The Domain Of Old, White Men,” Urges Working “Social Justice” Into Math Problems.
…and that when it comes to certain topics it’s never too early to start:
A D.C. public school gave a sixth grade class a homework assignment that required students to draw comparisons between former President George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler.
From the assignment:
Now that we have read about two men of power who abused their power in various ways, we will compare and contrast them and their actions…
Meanwhile,
White House press release: “Saudi Arabia has extensive border with Syria.”
It’s all good.
The Times noted that our Arab allies seem a bit tentative. No kidding – Obama and Kerry were wrong about the surge in ’07, wrong about the Iraqi troop withdrawals in ’11, wrong to walk away from post-Qadaffi Libya in ’11, wrong not to arm the moderate Syrian rebels in ’11, wrong to draw a faux red line in 2013, and now no one will get behind him? The headless chickens have come home to roost.
More – Instapundit suggests that Kerry doesn’t want to call it a war because we might lose it.
Thomas Mulcair on the Trudeau Liberals’ slogan “Getting ready to lead”:
“Yeah, right. Getting ready for what? I’m sorry, prime minister just isn’t an entry-level job.”
No, but celebrity is an entry-level job, and celebrity culture is slowly eclipsing common-sense culture, including in politics. That’s the only reason we’re facing the spectre of Prime Minister Zoolander.
Any bets on what percentage of the under-50 women’s vote he’ll get in the next election?
I’ll say 65.

The Dippers’ mindset in a nutshell:
Heritage Minister Shelly Glover said Monday the government has no intention of regulating or taxing the Internet content providers, a proposal the New Democratic Party described as “indecent.”
So NFL Running Backs seem to have graduated from beating women to beating children.
Yeah, a ‘spanking’:
The beating from Peterson allegedly resulted in numerous injuries to the child, “including cuts and bruises to the child’s back, buttocks, ankles, legs and scrotum, along with defensive wounds to the child’s hands.”
That’s not a spanking, it’s a whipping.
If you watched David Akin yesterday, you know that the main election themes for the election appear to be fracking and abortion. NB votes on the September 22.
Jay Carney, manhandled.
Doug’s in?

I’ve got nothing except NSFW comments.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) wants its members to be able to take paid grieving days for “aboriginal spirit friends.”
As a big fan of strategy games such as Total War and Crusader Kings, I found this set of sites extremely interesting.
