Everything Proves Global Warming

Warm weather proves that global warming is occurring. And so does cold weather!:
…the fact we’re getting the biggest snowstorm in many years in Eastern Canada doesn’t give you climate-change deniers any ammo into saying this proves its a false problem. Scientists and climatologists will tell you Global Warming involves more then just warming of the […]

“The Power is Yours!”

Okay Liberals and “progressives”, I’m waiting for it: “Well, you know, Canada didn’t actually help at Bali by refusing to sign on until the US, China and India were on board…”
I guess Canada’s say in the matter in the matter isn’t that important any more either now that the US has agreed to sign onto […]

The Mulroney Impeachment Proceedings - Part II

I just had to do it.
I’ve been surfing through the comment pages, videos and miscellaney at Andrew Coyne’s website, looking for a cogent explanation as to why everyone is so desirous of a cogent explanation by the Blarnmeister and current father of Canadian Idol host, Ben Mulroney (historians may yet get you for that one, […]

The Mulroney Impeachment Proceedings - Part I

Its been mildly entertaining to watch the Canadian counterpart to BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome): MDS (Mulroney Derangement Syndrome) on full display by various members of the Canadian media. Andrew Coyne, in his latest foam flecked blog post, waxes histrionic as he loads his Herman Melville harpoon to confront his chin whale:
To be told that Schreiber […]

Do the Climate a Favour - Don’t get Divorced or Stop Breathing

This is old news, but funny nonetheless…
More everything causes global warming silliness. This time the globe is threatened by broken marriages:
Soaring divorce rates around the globe are taking a toll on the environment, American researchers suggested in a study released Monday.
Michigan State University researcher Jianguo “Jack” Liu and his assistant Eunice Yu said the […]

The Poppy is Offensive - BAN IT!

Hat tip to the magical small dead animal - Judge bans the poppy from her courtroom.
“However much you may think that’s a totally acceptable symbol, and that is totally neutral, that might not be entirely the case for everybody who comes to court,” Woolcott told the Waterloo regional police officer.
You must not wear the poppy.  […]

Canada as a Secular State: Never was, Never will be

How does one even begin to respond to this? In a nation founded as a joint project between Catholics and Protestants and where class has never counted for much in politics or anywhere else (see the permanently second-rate status of the NDP), workers unions are now demanding that crosses be banned from public view in […]

Who Hearts Huckabee?

Ugh:
Two new polls yesterday showed former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has fallen into a statistical tie with a surging Mike Huckabee…The polls suggest social conservatives, uneasy about Giuliani’s moderate stances all year, are deciding that Huckabee, an ordained Baptist minister who opposes abortion, deserves their vote.
In a race when even Pat Robertson has […]

God Bless Jeanne Assam

Thank goodness New Life Church wasn’t a gun free zone (and how sad that Virginia Tech was):
Jeanne Assam, a church member who volunteers as a security guard, shot and killed Murray, who was found with a rifle and two handguns, police said. The pastor called her “a real hero.”
“When the shots were fired, she […]

The Golden Compass: Film-Going For the Retarded

It is a rare thing to find a movie that unites both critics (43% on the tomatometer) and movie-goers. A particularly perceptive example of the former:
The newest entry in the “what the fuck” hall of fame is Chris Weitz’s deplorable, dull, nonsensical, unwatchable The Golden Compass, which comes packed to the gills with meaningless terms, […]
