It’s working, there’s no doubt in my mind that it’s working. The “be afraid, be very afraid, there’s an Islamic terrorist around every corner” crowd must be really proud of themselves at this point.

The Bunker’s Blog Standards and Practices Division has just approved a new term that we thought we should release, given the urgent need for a word to describe this particulary phenom.

As I was watching the news and commentary that discussed the 60% of Iraqi people who approve of attacks on US troops in Iraq, and while reading a few of the uber [and not quite so uber]-righties who took such offense at the very thought of Iraqi people being on side with this type of behaviour, something was nagging me about the tone of the discussion, an elusive something that I couldn’t quite put my finger on, then, it hit me…….

During the last election campaign we heard a whole lot out of Stephen Harper on arctic sovereignty, an increased military presence in the arctic, armed ice breakers partolling the shores, etc., …. 9 months into his gig we’ve seen one arctic tour, a little bit of rhetoric, and not much else.

Hot on the heels of the US intelligence community saying that The Deciders adventure in Iraq had done more to create new terrorists than solve the terrorism problem…..

– the front page of The Sun is about the marital problems of Ti Domi, it’s either that or it’s evidence that there are people out there with such small pathetic lives that the maritial problems of Ti Domi somehow gives what they do meaning. Which is it?

Since the emergence of the current European states the Vatican has been viewed with suspicion by rulers. John Kennedy did a lot to undo that fear: but many of today’s Catholic conservative pundits and bloggers seem bent on undoing that progress.

I used the term “fisking” in my last post, and was taken to task by Webloggin’. Now, his objection may have been a reflexive rhetorical swipe (”You call that a knife? THIS is a KNIFE!”) But he may have been pointing out an incorrect use of the neologism “to fisk”. I haven’t found a very […]

The Big Picture with Avi Lewis is doing a show tonight at 10:00 (EST) on climate change / global warming that looks interesting - give it a look.

Really, it’s a tough call. When they all lie, cheat, steal, break the law, and make crap up about how bad the other guys are, or will be if they ever grab on to the reigns of power, deciding on which name on the ballot to put your “X” beside can be a down-right depressing experience.

I was just about to shut things down for the night when this little tid-bit appeared in my email

Courtesy of Gwylim we have another offering from Lowell everybody must tell the truth but me Green tonight….. you remember Lowell, the local (Right)WingNut who went on the A Channel news and talked about the “the attack which killed 4 Canadians and killed about twenty Afghanistan children” when the news reported that two children were injured.

Folks who hate other folks - you can call them bigots, racists, ideologues, or whatever - are seldom simply honest enough to say “I loathe people of Category X”.
