No one can say “la la la” without actually pronouncing those nonsense syllables quite like the French. Tonight we listen to the relaxing, vaguely ethereal, meadow-frolicking sounds of Claudine Longet, as she blows absently on a puffball called Lazy Summer Night.

The socialist cabal that currently runs City Hall in Vancouver declared “Meatless Mondays”. Then something strange happened. The following posting on a popular Vancouver Facebook page may have helped the butcher to increase sales:
URGENT!!: The West Broadway Meat Co. plans to butcher a water buffalo at their store at 1 pm TODAY, Monday June 10th – they are inviting the public to watch the dismemberment of a previously living being. Please let them know you think this is morally wrong and glorifies the ‘power’ we have over our defenseless fellow creatures. This is NOT entertainment. Please meet outside 3209 West Broadway at 12:45 pm today – please bring signs saying “Keep the Meat out of Meatless Monday”, or “Butchery isn’t entertainment”, or your personal expression at this awful intrusion into what is meant to be a day of compassion and awareness. If you can’t come down to the store, you can still take part: please send a respectful e-mail to the people planning the butchering at julia@urbandigsfarm.com or phone 604-780-5262 and express your concerns.
Such proclamations are not a new thing on Canada’s Left Coast. Lest we forget the hypocrisy of a certain pizza joint advocating something similar. Click on the image therein and you’ll learn what happened to their Meatless Monday campaign.
Ezra Levant shared his thoughts yesterday.
Finally, surprise, surprise, it turns out that Lizzie May hasn’t had any meat inside her for a loooooong time.
The magic opt-out podium
Democrat logic: think of it as a ten-mile-wide fuzzy-pink steamroller:
Asked what the moral difference is between what Dr. Kermit Gosnell did to babies born alive and aborting those same infants moments before birth, (House Democratic leader Nancy) Pelosi refused to answer.
Actually, that’s not true; she did make sounds with her mouth:
“As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this,” Pelosi said. “This shouldn’t have anything to do with politics.”
This, remarkably, at a political press conference during which the politician “condemned a bill that would prohibit abortions during the final four months of pregnancy.”
Watch the video and read the transcript of her exchange with members of the press.
Then stick your head in a paint-shaker.

Uh oh. CTV reporting that @thomasmulcair blew past security and stop signs this AM and asked RCMP: “Don’t you know who I am?” #cdnpoli

They gamed votes.
They’re gaming functions of the IRS.
They’re gaming the rules governing the EPA.

Salvi spoke by phone with the head of the FEC’s Enforcement Division, who he remembers saying: “Promise me you will never run for office again, and we’ll drop this case.” He was speaking to Lois Lerner.

Foiled Again
Just like the Robocalls kerfluffle, another ‘Conservative’ scandal upstaged.
Senator Mac Harb owes about $240,000 in expenses claimed improperly, the outgoing chair of the Senate’s internal economy commitee says.
This following on ‘Glass House’ Liberal MP Judy Sgro’s hasty exit yesterday, after Shiny Pony was slapped upside the head by Mulcair and after Shiny Pony declared support for Senator Harb.
They just can’t get a break, eh?
The Jowls Did it.
I think the Dief impression was the best.
Obamanation
One wonders if the homeowner in this video reminds Barack Obama of a sister he might have had? But one thing we can certainly all agree on is that the female journalist must be a R-A-C-I-S-T ! ! !

Demspeak
The character and motivation of Edward Snowden, the man who revealed the scale of the Obama administration’s domestic surveillance program, remains open to debate. He might have done it for the noblest of reasons, as he claims, or he might have done it on behalf of a foreign government — or a jilted news organization — for some manner of personal gain; we may never know.
What’s a lot more knowable, by virtue of being so familiar, is the extent to which Democrat supporters will use their own peculiar rules of logic, and evert the meaning of language itself, as they create new categories of offenses against the Big Government — theirs — that they want to impose on everyone else.
The NYT’s David Brooks is a prime example. In an opinion piece titled The Solitary Leaker, Brooks claims that Snowden – the man who shone a light on this mass invasion of privacy – “betrayed the privacy of us all.”
It gets worse. Snowden, who exposed the secret behaviour of what has surely been the most closed and unaccountable of administrations, “betrayed the cause of open government”; in taking such actions against an administration that has shown boundless disrespect for the Constitution, and under whose watch the IRS targeted groups that sought to educate people about the Constitution, Snowden “betrayed the Constitution.”
Says Brooks:
“The founders did not create the United States so that some solitary 29-year-old could make unilateral decisions about what should be exposed…”
So true. As the Founding Fathers themselves so eloquently put it, “Leave the government alone. Shut up!”
Bin Laden Is Dead And Ambassador Stevens Is Dead
The 26-page document in Arabic, recovered by The Associated Press in a building that had been occupied by al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb in Timbuktu, strongly suggests the group now possesses the SA-7 surface-to-air missile, known to the Pentagon as the Grail, according to terrorism specialists. And it confirms that the al-Qaida cell is actively training its fighters to use these weapons, also called man-portable air-defense systems, or MANPADS, which likely came from the arms depots of ex-Libyan strongman Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
So good that someone finally got rid of Gadhafi. Sure taught Assad a thing or two.
Oh, Shiny Pony!
Opposition MPs turned on each other Tuesday after New Democrats upstaged Liberal leader Justin Trudeau by calling for an investigation into taxpayer-funded travel related to paid speaking engagements.
This came after the NDP refused to support Mr. Trudeau’s calls to have MPs disclose all office, travel and dining expenses, prompting allegations of cheap politicking from both sides.

But of Course He Is…..
Bill Clinton named father of the year
Holy Smokes, he’s an IMPEACHED president, Dis Barred Lawyer that LIED to his wife, his daughter, the American people and he CHEATED on his wife with numerous women….. and he gets father of the year? Wouldn’t you think the “Father of The Year” would be required to be faithful to his wife at a minimum?
While we’ve come to expect this kind of an award might come from today’s current media, what does it say about the state of American morals that it comes from the Non-Profit National Fathers Day Council?
NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. President Bill Clinton is in line for a new title – Father of the Year.
The non-profit National Father’s Day Council plans to award him that honor at a New York fundraiser for Save the Children on Tuesday.
