The First American Prime Minister Orders Hors D’oeuvres

Michael Ignatieff says…

Canadians want accountability from their MPs, but he’s not sure they want to see every restaurant receipt politicians submit.

OK Canadians, What Is It You Want?
Yes – I want to see all my MP’s restaurant receipts
No – I don’t want to see all my MP’s restaurant receipts
I want my MP’s to pay for their own damned restaurant meals.

Is There Nothing That Obama Can’t Do?

Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Globe&Mail, May 14th – “Mr. Obama delivered his stinging rebuke of industry and regulators in remarks at the White House Rose Garden, flanked by cabinet secretaries involved in the massive response and cleanup effort. They were his sharpest remarks yet since the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig that killed 11 people and triggered the spill gushing from a crumpled pipe at a BP well about 40 miles south of Louisiana.”
Rasmussen Reports, May 18th – “The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows 64% believe offshore oil drilling should be allowed, up from 58% earlier this month.”

… promoted its storylines as “ripped from the headlines,” but the show’s hate-on towards social conservatives was actually sourced from liberal op-ed pages, where paranoid (and inaccurate) predictions about “Tea Party violence” and ever-looming “Christian theocracies” have enjoyed an equally long run.

True, but the Fred Thompson episodes made up for it. And the death penalty!
It’s Criminal Intent that was ruined for me. I can’t get through an episode without seeing Vincent D’Onofrio curled up in a fetal position, crying out for John Kerry.

Y2Kyoto: Not Godly Enough!

Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi – “Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes,”
Media cleric Ted Turner – “I’m just wondering if God is telling us he doesn’t want us to drill offshore. And right before that we had that coal mine disaster in West Virginia where we lost 29 miners.”

NYT Breaking News Alert;

Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat who is running for the United States Senate from Connecticut, never served in Vietnam, despite statements to the contrary. The Times has found that he obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war.

Yes, the same New York Times that so studiously avoided the “swift boat” controversy that dogged John Kerry. What gives? Suppose this might be a “teaching moment”?
