We’ve been quite busy of late and are just now catching up on a great many things - including reading up on just what the good ‘ole boys over at the Western Standard have been up to lately, it seems they think that our new GG not taking the traditional “so help me god” type oath and choosing the “solemnly swear and affirm” road when being sworn in is worthy of note ….. why? And why would any reasonable person have a problem with it?
The last time I was in front of a tribunal I did the same thing - so what?
Update: It seems that the Western Standard may be in for a little federal type heat
The chauffeur who accompanied Foreign Affairs Minister Pierre Pettigrew on government-funded trips abroad is considering legal action after an item on a conservative magazine’s website questioned whether they had a romantic relationship.
Kevin Libin, editor-in-chief of the Calgary-based Western Standard, wrote in a web log entry this week that the media should have asked about the nature of Mr. Pettigrew’s relationship with driver Bruno Labonte following a report that they had travelled together to Europe and South America.
Yeah, I know, days and days old, in the blog–sphere that borders on ancient — but I told ya, I’ve been busy.
Oh Criminey!
Did you read the thread?
This is precious…
Absolutley precious.
Remarks of a regular Shotgunner and SDA winged monkey..
“Johan, I know you’re just another stupid, ignorant foreigner who doesn’t belong in this country, much like our beloved GG, but do you see anyone complaining about her oath? What is it about being a wog that compels you to put words in people’s mouths?
Speaking for myself, I’m delighted that she didn’t attempt to swear a false and blasphemous oath to a God whom she hates and denies, claiming loyalty to a country she depises, and pledging to do a duty which she fully intends to shirk. It’s the closest thing to integrity we’ll
ever see from this worthless whore.

Oh… the other thing was, when somebody bothered to object to it, they were told that it’s not their place to repudiate this kind of crap.
ie.. Racist and Sexist remarks LIKE the above, are perfectly acceptable commentary.
What a bunch of clowns.
