Stephen Harper: “A Straight Up Guy”

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Yeah, “he’s a straight-up guy” alright. One who is currently in the process of weaseling out of his own “fixed election” legislation that he and his MPs were so proudly crowing about not that long ago. A “straight-up guy” who gave Conservative committee chairs a secret handbook detailing ways [...]

Brown & Out…

It’s hard not to speculate about what might have happened had the attempted assassination of Gordon Brown by “Taliban fanatics” on his recent stop-over in Afghanistan not been narrowly averted. It would surely have dealt a huge psychological blow to the NATO campaign, but would it have changed anything?

He’s Called “Dick” for a Reason

Seriously not worth the effort, so… what he said.
And just for the record, Bob’s always been well regarded here, that’s why he’s on my blogroll. Perhaps if Evans wasn’t a severely retarded dirtbag he might have noticed that instead of relying on his flaccid, impotent, err, faulty memory.

By-Election Fever Hits Guelph

I can’t wait for some feculent “Blogging Tory” to suggest that the anti-Liberal vandalism and sabotaging of vehicles owned by Liberal supporters was the work of agent provocateurs trying to make the Conservative party look bad.
Wanna bet? You know they will.
Update: More on this at Scott’s place and confirmation of the expected allegations here.

The World According to Kory

On “dysfunctional” government:
Kory Teneycke, PMO media director, says “this shouldn’t be a huge surprise to anyone” and reiterates Harper’s position of Parliament being at an impasse. He argues there’s a complete lack of common ground with the Opposition and the Liberals developed a (Green Shift) platform over the summer that makes it “very difficult for [...]

Bill C-16: That Was Then

Glenn Hubbers, the Green Party candidate for Newmarket-Aurora takes an hilarious trip down memory lane with a number of Conservative luminaries speaking out on issue of fixed election dates. Here, for example, is Peter Van Loan from February of last year:
As I indicated, we have passed Bill C-16 on fixed election dates through [...]

Real Time with Bill Maher is Back!

Yay! Sanity to the rescue. Thankfully, the long summer hiatus is finally over.

Catch the rest of the show here.

Manifestly Unserious

That’s how Steve Bennen described McCain’s pick for vice-president and I think, aside from anything else (and I’ll get to Palin’s whackaloon religious affiliations in due course, I promise), that it’s an extremely cogent point to make with respect the choice of a person that a number of respected presidential scholars say is “the least [...]

“An Army of Locusts”

It’s stunning to me that in a world where radical jihadists “inspired by God” can send planes hurtling into skyscrapers killing thousands of innocent civilians and setting off a deadly so-called global war against terrorism, where intractable inter-religious conflicts have raged in recent years (and continue to be fought in many cases) in Bosnia, Chechnya, [...]

Sukkot This

It’s hardly a secret that I take a generally dim view of religion, so it should come as no surprise that it strikes me as a little irksome that the timing of Stephen Harper’s upcoming “Fixed Election Spectacular” might be postponed by the griping of a religious minority group.
As reported in Globe & Mail [...]
