The "While We're At It, Let's Redefine Something Else" edition.

Dear Americans

She's not really a hate mongering, bigot... she just plays one on the Internet.

Sometimes There Are No Other Options

In the appropriate circumstance the military option may not only be the best option, but the only reasonable course of action to save a people from its' government... it is time, in my opinion, to exercise that option in Myanmar/Burma.

Just When YouThought It Couldn’t Get Any Stranger

Join young people across the country on Protest the Pill Day '08: The Pill Kills Babies on June 7 and witness outside of clinics that distribute this killing poison.

If You Redefine It As Something It Ain’t –

-- you can make the numbers say anything you want..... can the first "hate crime" trial for criticizing Israeli policy be far behind?

Unborn Victims of Crime Act

The following is the text of Ms. Nicole Demers (Laval, BQ) statement in the House yesterday regarding her opinion of the Unborn Victims of Crime Act, and the demonstrations that were taking place as she made it.... plus (of course) my opinion.

Dear Liberal Party of Canada

Subtitled: My apparent "links" to organized crime

I could care f*cking less if Bernier's ex-girlfriend knew a guy who knew a guy who was in a bike gang - you're starting to sound like Americans. If you have nothing better for Question Period please contact me for assistance, I'll give you some real questions that the government can provide partisan non-answers to.

Updated: Who knew I was so well connected?

Conservative Math

With those sorts of skillz OMMAG probably shouldn't be looking for a colour commentator job with the CFL, and I certainly wouldn't want him mucking about with national economics, but CPoC Election Finance HQ might want him.

May 8 is Lost Socks Day.

The origins and intent of this Festival are a bit obscure: it is not clear whether we are intended to mourn our Lost Socks or ponder the mystery of their disappearance, or if this day marks a covert gathering of Lost Socks, convening in secrecy to celebrate their escape from pedal servitude.

The War On Smoke

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

To The Ontario Government Democracy Means

-- not having to listen to opinions you don't want to hear during public consultations.

Election On The Horizon - Send Money

Got my regular monthly propaganda email-out from the Liberal Party today, there's apparently "an election on the horizon"..... I have no doubt that there is an election on the horizon, I'm just not sure how far away the horizon is in the House of Commons these days.

How Does One Argue With That Sort Of Logic?

According to CFRA’s Steve Madely if drug addicts are arrested and jailed enough times they will voluntarily seek help for their addictions rather than go back to jail….. you’d think if that actually worked they might have tried it, wouldn’t ya?

Surprising Joint Statement by Hillary Clinton and John McCain

Transcript, Courtland Place Hotel Media Centre, Washington DC 090507 0712 Senator Clinton: Good morning. Thanks for coming at such short notice. This all came about quite suddenly, and I'm afraid we didn't have much time to get this conference ready, so we really appreciate your showing up. Senator McCain, do you want to start?
