“My gas sales were down 30 percent last year,” Vazquez said. “People will come into the store and buy groceries, but they tell me they won’t buy gas from Citgo.”
The Citgo boycott is sure to be mitigated should current sabre-rattling from Chavez be converted a into full-fledged invasion of Colombia. Declared enemies of American’s allies can always count on the support of their friends on the American left – they’ll line up to fill their tanks for Hugo. Citgo will do just fine.
Right Wing News has a piece up on the abuse that is regularly levelled at female bloggers in the US.
For an insight into the phenomenon, check out the comments at Right Girl. (Language warning).
“Witch”, “bitch”, “c*nt”. “You need to get laid.”
The explanation is pretty simple, really – scratch a progressive, and you’ll find a misogynist. For all their faux support for a woman’s right to self-determination , they have zero tolerance for those “bitches” who refuse to think and behave precisely as they’re expected to.

Apparently “widespread” and “appetite for change” must mean something different than I have always thought they did. Maybe I’ve also been wrong about the definitions of “bias” and “sore losers” as well?
from the Globe and Mail reporting on the Conservatives capturing (at this time) 71 of 83 ridings.
“Liberals were never able to exploit widespread sentiment in the province that it was time for a new government.”
From the CBC at the same time (cons leading in 71 of 83)
“Despite an apparent appetite for change, voters in Alberta stuck with the tried-and-true, giving the Progressive Conservative party an unprecedented 11th consecutive majority government.”
I predict a flurry of opinion columns along a similar vein from other members of the Carnack the Magician set in the coming week. Because, you know – nobody they know voted for the Conservatives.
They warned us that if we didn’t do something to stop global warming, we would reap the inferno – and they were right!
Pre-dawn fires destroyed four new homes in an upscale Seattle suburb Monday, local officials said, with environmental extremists reportedly suspected of arson.
“There were no reported injuries in the three-alarm blaze that started around 4:00 am local time Monday,” Snohomish County fire department official Rick Eastman told AFP.
“Some of the houses were still under construction.”
The multi-million-dollar homes went up in flames in the “Street of Dreams” development near Woodinville, in northwest Washington state.

UPDATE: Because “arson” is so 90’s – New York Times labels eco-terrorists who set homes on fire in WA “anti-sprawl activists”.

BUT! Don’t count those chickens just yet… “It’s not over yet….”
Via email – “Tonight, there was a vote on an amendment to the Budget that was put forward by Canadas Official Opposition, the Liberal Party of Canada. Only 7 members of the Liberal Party bothered to show up to vote.”
UPDATE: Perhaps they were lost in translation…
“I said over months, many times every day, that we’ll support the budget or we’ll not vote against the budget to a point to make the government falling down if the budget is not detrimental to Canadians too much,”

“Some optimists might even say that the intimidation of a young girl while enroute to school is a sign of progress, since under the Taliban there were no schoolgirls.”
But start at the beginning.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper is moving to sue Liberal Leader Stephane Dion, deputy leader Michael Ignatieff, House leader Ralph Goodale, and the entire Liberal party in relation to last week’s controversy involving the late Independent MP Chuck Cadman.
A notice of the suit, served on the parties at 7 a.m. today, claims the prime minister was libelled in “two devastatingly defamatory articles published at www.liberal.ca entitled ‘Harper Knew of Conservative Bribery’ (Feb. 29, 2008) and ‘Harper Must Come Clean About Allegations of Conservative Bribery, Liberals Say’ (Feb. 28, 2008),” according to the document, signed by Ottawa lawyer Richard Dearden.

Nova Scotia Liberal MPs compared Stephen Harper to Homer Simpson, showed pictures of him in an ill-fitting cowboy outfit, and called his government mean-spirited with a record of flip-flopping.
This is looking less like a scandal than it does a hunting blind.

One broken trade agreement at a time…
For people who shrink from competition and think that it’s government’s job to provide and protect — to provide them with well-paying/low-effort jobs and protect the jobs the already have — there is a lot to love in Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, each of whom is barnstorming through Ohio painting the other as someone who condones free trade.
The horror!
