So It Has Come To This

A Canadian Cabinet Minister, the Chief of Defence Staff, and allegations of war crimes – isn’t this a fine kettle of fish?

The Police State?

Yeah, but by the time they figure that out you’ll already be in jail.

Modern Authoritarian States

In the past (and even now) people had worry about concentration camps, or interrogation camps, now, thanks to Tony Blair, the good folks in the UK can start worrying about being sent to a local respect camp.

Who Didn’t Know This Already?

George J. Tenet, the former director of central intelligence, has lashed out against Vice President Dick Cheney and other Bush administration officials in a new book, saying they pushed the country to war in Iraq without ever conducting a “serious debate” about whether Saddam Hussein posed an imminent threat to the United States.

If You’re Still Wondering “Why?”

It’s because of America’s sins against the Westboro Baptist Church

It All Sounds So Familiar…..

All we’re missing at this point is for the Prime Minister, members of his cabinet, and a certain week-day morning radio host on CFRA, to accuse the Opposition of being disloyal, unpatriotic, terrorist supporters, and the picture would be almost complete.

It Was Bound To Happen

In 2001 the US decided to pull out of an Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty it had signed, has started sprinkling long range missiles around the globe, has discussed space based weapons, and developed national policy asserting its right to deny access to space to anyone hostile to U.S. interests – so Russia suspending its obligations under the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty, and possibly pulling out of a a Cold War nuclear arms reduction treaty, should really surprise no one.

What An Apt Description

Basically, we have a Conservative government led by a prime minister who doesn’t really believe in what he’s doing on climate change, being harassed by a Liberal opposition that complains he isn’t doing enough — overlooking the inconvenient truth that when they were in power they did nothing.

If Only They Had Christ In Their Lives

It’s got nothing to do with their son being killed the way he was, and nothing to do with being lied to about that, according to Lt. Col. Ralph Kauzlarich it’s probably because of the absence of Christ in their hearts.

Cheney’s Articles

The text of the Articles of Impeachment for Cheney can be found here. There are three of them, the quick summary is, he lied, he lied, and he made inappropriate threats.

A Different Perspective

On the 17th I posted the following regarding how the Virginia Tech shootings were being reported in major American media — it appears that I wasn’t the only one to point out the historical revisionism.

That’s Just Crazy Talk

The John Howard position on climate change can be summarized as: ‘Taking action against climate change when the option of prayer is still available is just plain irresponsible.’

Stageleft Jumps the Shark

Last fall we headed down to Belize to shoot the third in our Signature Scuba DVD series. Our goal fo is to get quality video of every major dive attraction in the country, and in Belize we did pretty well. But there’s one thing we missed: we didn’t get the whale sharks.

Does This Mean Superman Is Real Too?

If Ya Can’t Find A Hero

– make one up. In addition to the Jessica Lynch fabrication the US military is now dealing with the “utter fiction” cooked up for Pat Tillman. [Updated April 25]
