The extremely responsible Republican Party

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:14:47 -0800

“This bill is the greatest threat to freedom that I’ve seen in the 19 years I’ve been in Washington.” House Minority Leader John Boehner, November 5, 2009

That bill, of course, is not the Patriot Act. LOL Here I sit watching GOP Senators and Congressman give speeches before a crowd holding signs with graphic images of Dachau. A crowd that organizers say will later on storm the offices in Congress…on this, Guy Fawkes Day.

Let’s repeat that…GOP officials are speaking to a crowd that plans on storming the Congress building. On a day that commemorates rebellion.All this over health care.

SMELL.THE.FREEDOM.

How to undermine your own movement

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:26:13 -0700

Environmental protestor Jeh Custer apparently has been caught adding blood to his face for an interview with CBC following yesterday’s Bill C-311 protest on Parliament Hill. Utterly self-defeating.

Bears will ice...you!

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:23:04 -0700

What’s not mentioned is the bear completed a perfect triple-axel right before the incident:

The bear, who was wearing ice-skates when the incident occurred, attacked 25-year-old circus director Dmitry Potapov, dragging him across the ice rink by his neck and nearly severing one of his legs before relenting.

Local authors take on climate change deniers (tag: climate change, Fraser Institute, denialists)

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:03:53 -0700

Another shout out to the Straight: An excellent overview of the climate change denialist industry. Funnily enough, funded by industry:

Hoggan, the author of Climate Cover-Up, told the Straight by phone that average people need to gain a greater understanding of the issue to avoid being misled by the media, which echo the claims of industry-financed groups. He described these campaigns as “manipulation of the highest order” and “Darth Vader public relations”, suggesting that consulting firms can generate hundreds of thousands of dollars by coming up with simple phrases like “junk science” or “clean coal” to downplay the issue.

"That departure can’t help but raise a couple of questions. Is Vision’s fledgling..."

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 18:18:37 -0700

“That departure can’t help but raise a couple of questions. Is Vision’s fledgling coalition of NDPers and leftish federal Liberals in danger of fracturing, as the Larry Campbell-led Coalition of Progressive Electors did the last time the left was elected in Vancouver? Or is Mr. Bruce, whose union produced a campaign ad stating “Gordon Campbell eats children” and other similar lines, an outlier whose views are not widely shared?”
