Chris Taylor’s problem isn’t that he still reads the newspaper. It’s that he reads two.;
The Globe says a relative saw explicit conversation. The Star says they don’t know who filed the complaint.
The Globe says the lad told police she touched him in the genital area. The Star quotes the boy himself saying that’s not true.
The Globe quotes the police saying the teen is “confused”. If we’re to believe the Star, he’s actually fuming mad.
He had been sitting in Abu Ghraib for a month, and nobody realized that he was the AP photog who had snapped dozens of staged photos with al Qaeda fighters.
Until he was noticed by an investigator who reads the Jawa Report.

Alex is winner in the CanCon Division. Because we needed it for the arts grant:
The only reason there were election wins for Harper in Canada and Sarkozy in France were because the evil Chimp McBushitler sent Cheeky’s evil minions from Haliburton to steal wins for those people! I wouldn’t be surprise if even Saskatchewan’s election was stolen! It happened in the US, people! It happened here! Look it up! There are documentaries on this!!!
Friend of USA gets the nod for Spot The Evil Genius:
“We know every thing is not a Bush conspiracy.
But we also know the only reason Bush chooses to not be behind everything is to make us look paranoid.”

One final honourable mention to irwin daisy for this retort to a sniffy leftie. While it doesn’t strictly qualify as an entry, it does seem the perfect way to close the evening:
“Is this little exercise designed to make you guys feel better about backing the wrong horse?”
He won, or should I say, stole, two elections. And personally gave the orders to fly two planes into the twin towers, in order for his cabal to secure oil rights in Iraq.
I’d say he’s the winning horse.

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and Puff, The Extinguished Dragon…
A leading children’s author was told to drop a fire-breathing dragon shown in a new book – because the publishers feared they could be sued under health and safety regulations.
It is just one of the politically correct cuts Lindsey Gardiner says she has been told to make in case youngsters act out the stories.
As well as the scene showing her dragon toasting marshmallows with his breath, illustrations of an electric cooker with one element glowing red and of a boy on a ladder have had to go.
Ms Gardiner, 36, who has written and illustrated 15 internationally successful children’s books, featuring her popular characters Lola, Poppy and Max, says such editing decisions are now common.

Among the events related to global warming were “Hurricane Katrina,” “California wildfires,” and “Asian tsunamis.” Because it’s self-evident that SUVs and coal-powered plants cause undersea earthquakes — at least to the folks at CNN.
Joseph Brean (in the National Post);
Pierre Trudeau, of course, inspires deep emotions, both positive and negative, and usually simplistically extreme. The haters tend to be rural Western right-wing ideologues who see in him everything they dislike about urban Eastern left-wingery. And so Trudeau-hatred is rarely more than a niche emotion, a mass-produced populist scorn that looks ever more unsophisticated the more unyielding it gets, like hating olives.
If hairy-fingered readers who can still recall the glory years of the NEP know someone in the city who can assist you with the necessary typing, the Post provides an email address – jbrean@nationalpost.com.
Keep your sentences short.
From the comments – “My opinion of Trudeau was formed at a very young age. I met Trudeau back around 1970 at Exibition Stadium in Toronto. I was a cub scout attending a jamboree and PET was the guest speaker. Afterwards a group of us were chosen to go backstage and meet the PM. We where waiting behind a curtain. He didnt know we where there. He call the crowd of cubs and scouts “the Hitler youth of tomorrow” and spit on the ground.”
Ouch.

Andrew Nikiforuk’s review of “THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE WAR ON CANCER” for the Globe and Mail gets off to a rollicking start,
…the cancer establishment has retreated from the truth faster than Canada’s commitment to a greener country … propaganda hit men … persistently foul pattern of deceit … I often wanted to throw it against a wall and scream … lingering, Disney-like fantasies … She shines, in short, with a burning indignation…
If not an altogether coherent one.
Her angry history of the way free and open discourse on cancers in the workplace has become as elusive as meaningful political debates reveals the rot with the bluntness of a chemo treatment.
There are many damning studies, and many shameful villains…
Damning studies on the health of asbestos workers couldn’t find a home in the 1930s, and to this day, Canada shamefully remains an exporter of the lung destroyer.
A mistake we were determined not to make with our water, in the knowledge that innocent people are drowning the world over.
Many of Davis’s findings simply stunned me.
Andrew attempts a valiant recovery, but the forces of stun are too powerful.
Now ponder this stunner: “Modern America’s annual exposure to radiation from diagnostic machines is equal to that released by a nuclear accident that spewed the equivalent of hundreds of Hiroshimas across much of Russia and Eastern Europe.”
And inversely proportional to the critical thinking skills on display.
And oh! Oh! Here come visits from old friends!
… Donald Rumsfeld
And…
… Nazis
The real tragedy is that none of us are likely to live long enough to read it, what with the…
… hidden hydrocarbon holocaust
We’re told how the author “celebrates tough, rural, blue-collar mothers” and advises that “Ritalin rearranges chromosomes”. Rearranged how? I suppose you have to read the book. Though, you really don’t need to – Mr. Nikiforuk has managed to provide the Hysterics’ Digest Abridged Version, courtesy of the Globe and Mail.
But I’ve saved the very best for last…
While China now leads a global economic boom, it’s also exploring new opportunities for cancer. Even its secretive, Ottawa-like government now concedes that the country’s industries use the nation’s rivers as industrial urinals.
Give the man his due. “Moonbat” just isn’t done any better than this.
(h/t to sharp-eyed reader Michel !)
From a reader who knows of what he speaks;
The Liberals were only interested in Perception- making sure the Musical Ride was performing well. They knew for years that a lot of experienced Officers would be retiring in a short time frame 2002 -2009 and basically did nothing about it. If the total RCMP budget didn’t have sufficient funds, they had to make difficult choices, hence a lot of their National & Federal policing units were cannibalized, including the Public Integrity unit. Who benefited? The criminal organizations are now doing $50 billion /yr.( counterfeiting & MJ are $40 billion alone). With that type of money, who can’t they buy off?
They have lost a lot of experience in the past few years and the only hope is that Veteran Officers have a full and frank discussion with the Brown Commission, top investigators are rehired or retained and that ample resources are provided. They have never been given proper resources to make up for the extra work that is needed for Charter compliance. The paperwork eats up 10 -20% more manpower- manpower that could be doing investigations or patrol work.
When the Liberals didn’t provide adequate funding, the major crooks had a field day. The major busts have been few and far between. The last were about 10 years ago with the Cuntrera/ Caruana Org and maybe a handful of others- out of 10,000 major players. That’s the real Liberal legacy. Now the chickens are coming home to roost and the anti police media are having a field day. The fact that young inexperienced officers were killed at Mayerthorpe and in the North shouldn’t be a surprise and with the bulk having less than 5 years experience, there will unfortunately be more problems that exacerbate the underfunding and understaffing.
The defence lawyers love the negative stories about the Mounties, makes it easier to get their clients off or get a reduced sentence- the credibility issue. The Liberals left these problems for the Tories- unfortunately it will get worse before it gets better unless some bold steps are taken in the short term. It’s difficult to change a major organization overnight no matter what good intentions people may have.
Check out the comments at Jack’s Newswatch – “What’s really killing the Mounties”
If you ask them to look around and wonder how people are buying tiny houses in Queens for a million dollars – while everyone is working, their neighbors are expanding their homes, new businesses are being constructed – if you point out that the the stores and restaurants are crowded – if you ask them how it is that France and Germany have elected America-friendly leaders who are making it a point to work with the unanimously hated President Bush…it does not compute; everything is bad. “All I know,” they say, “is what I hear, and it sounds like the world is going to come to an end soon, because how can it keep going? There is going to be a depression and nuclear war! The oceans are going to cover the whole coast! Everything is going to be lost! Little children are being allowed to get sick and die! Here! In America!” And of course, “everything about Iraq is bad. There is nothing good.”
All they know, you see, is what they hear.

I’m going to be busy finishing up some work before heading out to do some hunting next week, so don’t expect a lot in the way of blogging this weekend.
Give me a sec – I’ll think of something.
“CNN ran out of time and used me to “close” the debate with the pearls/diamonds question. Seconds later this girl comes up to me and says, “you gave our school a bad reputation.’ Well, I had to explain to her that every question from the audience was pre-planned and censored. That’s what the media does. See, the media chose what they wanted, not what the people or audience really wanted. That’s politics; that’s reality. So, if you want to read about real issues important to America–and the whole world, I suggest you pick up a copy of the Economist or the New York Times or some other independent source. If you want me to explain to you how the media works, I am more than happy to do so. But do not judge me or my integrity based on that question.”

They call it the Clinton News Network for a reason.
More here and here – digging deep for those undecided voters!
Further to this post (and since I’ve not got much energy for blogging today), a little contest – come up with your best impersonation of a Bush -hating member of the intellectual left.
I’ll start things off:
on the internet “bush” rhymes with “rush” … did you just feel the hair go up on the back of your neck like I did ???!!
Tips: Keep them short, and don’t bother with “subtle” – it’s not convincing. (And please observe the usual rules about profanity, threats of violence, etc.).
Have fun. I’ll pick some “winners” on the weekend.
Update …
Speaking of Hollywood, this gets my vote for Quote Of The Week: “It’s like watching Sean Hannity debate Jane Fonda after they both spent the whole day together sniffing glue. “
A mutated version of an adenovirus, a common family of viruses that normally causes simple colds, has caused severe respiratory illness in patients of all ages, including healthy young adults, U.S. health officials announced Thursday.
The new and virulent strain of adenovirus serotype 14 (Ad14) killed 10 people in parts of the United States earlier this year and put dozens into hospitals, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

“The cases described in this report are unusual because they suggest the emergence of a new and virulent Ad14 variant that has spread within the United States,”
