When will they figure out that this sort of thing is not the answer?

I’ve always been a bit puzzled by the assertion that Kathy Shaidle is a “good writer”. You can’t tell from her blog, in which self-promotion, auto-martyrdom, logrolling, and lengthy excerpts from other sites jostle for space among her paypal links. And I’ll be damned if I’m actually going to PAY to read her. But as it turns out, I don’t have to: here’s a link to a site where you can savour some of her finest prose, AND learn about Ivana Trump. Bonus!

Because of the Liberals and the mainstream media of course.

Did you know, for example, that even a political finance shell scheme that some might consider fraud is actually an issue of free speech in Canada?  That bit of hack spin sounds like it came from the Conrad Black school of accounting.   Got scandal?  Insert “free speech”.

“uh, Mujahideen? Shoot? Right there, OK? … So, I mean, they can come at us from either direction, we don’t care. Right now we just want to shoot at anything. But preferably, like, within an hour. Because we gotta go back and sleep and eat chow and shit like that.”

In a previous post on the Warman affair, I took a simplistic, perhaps vindictive, approach to the libel suit that now faces Kate, Kathy and Ezra Levant.

I support free speech. With that speech comes the responsibility not to slander or libel someone unless I can prove the accusation. If that fails then I better be able to back up what I said or wrote with my wallet. That is why this whole episode really makes me yawn. […]

Subtitled: If you can build a world and live inside it anything can be true

* Violence Erupts in Eastern Baghdad

* Fighting in Baghdad’s Shiite area, children killed in blast

* Officials foresee no ebb in Iraq violence

* UN warns of humanitarian disaster in Iraq

* Iraqi Widows, Orphans Left Stranded

Blame the victim…… and he wonders why people laugh at him.

It’s been a weird old week among the URQs: Kate McMillan’s slapdown and meltdown, Kathy Shaidle’s sudden Declaration of Hate Pride, Mike Brock’s peculiar decision to play lawyer and tangle with the grownups. But Scenty, as alway, deserves a special place whenever the stupidity and hypocrisy of the moronosphere is tallied up.

When one of the party faithful says something like “There’s A’s and there’s B’s. The A’s are guys like me, the B’s are homosexual faggots with dirt under their fingernails that transmit diseases,” what happens?

Update: Tories stand by MP

Poor Kathy… are not enough people paying attention to you? Do try and remember that haters shouldn’t hate haters - you’ll end up kicked out of the club.

In one of the shrewdest political analyses I’ve read of current Liberal party woes, Scenty makes a stunning prediction.

In which balbulican generously assists an unimaginative denizen of the moronoshere with a classic lesson in the formulation of insults.

‘Cause that sh*t is so much worse than this sh*t
