Happy Independence Day to all those foul rebels again the King’s Most Gracious Majesty 

From the department of the perpetually offended: a Quebec group is offended that Canada’s embassy in Washington put out an invitation featuring Champlain holding a plate of poutine for Canada Day celebrations.

They’re offended, I tells ya, offended. They want heads to roll and apologies made.

I say get a life, wankers.

I see this picture is making the rounds of the internet.

It’s a picture of Iran’s president Ahmeneedanutjob and his ‘wife.’ (Who know what’s really under that black bag?)

When I see pictures like that, I just want to scream. To oppress women this way is a crime. You can try and dress it up any way you like: modesty, religion, culture, and values. It is still a crime.

Why does it seem to be that only the ‘right’ brings this disgusting vileness to the fore? Where are the feminists? I just don’t get it. I can’t believe that feminists truly countenance such behaviour but all I hear is a big fat silence. Shame on them. Shame on us for condoning this behaviour.

The picture above reminds of Laura Bush’s travels in the Middle East - in a pant suit - where this picture was taken(note the breast cancer ribbon):

Oh man. Some stories you just can’t make up.

Now Muslims in England are “outraged” about a puppy. What a bunch of stupid wankers(to use an English term).

So tremble before the puppy!

A postcard featuring a cute puppy sitting in a policeman’s hat advertising a Scottish police force’s new telephone number has sparked outrage from Muslims.

Tayside Police’s new non-emergency phone number has prompted complaints from members of the Islamic community…

Cards featuring police dog-in-training Rebel have been distributed to communities throughout the area to advertise the single number point of contact for non-emergency calls to the police.

Rebel has proved a popular recruit for Tayside Police after coming through the very first Lothian and Borders Police dog-breeding programme in February.

One of seven German Shepherd pups born in early December, he has now completed his course of inoculations, and is free to venture out onto the streets of Tayside.

A spokesman for Tayside Police said: ‘Trainee police dog Rebel has proved extremely popular with children and adults since being introduced to the public, aged six weeks old, as Tayside Police’s newest canine recruit.

‘His incredible world-wide popularity - he has attracted record visitor numbers to our website - led us to believe Rebel could play a starring role in the promotion of our non-emergency number.

Go out and have some fun.

Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do

Like him or hate him, Warren Kinsella, the Darth Vader of Canadian politics, generally does a good job of eviscerating those who disagree with him.

So it is with trembling hands that I write these words.

Were Warren to have his way, the Tories hidden agenda will again be at the forefront of the next election.

Not only will there be soldiers in the streets but if those damnable Tories in brownshirts dare have their way in a majority government they will strike a blow for freedom of the press and allow Nazis, Christians, and Islamists to access the same freedoms that the rest of us enjoy.

Given that Mr. Kinsella appears never to have met a low road that he didn’t take, can Barney the dinosaur and the politics of character assassination be far behind?

I’ve often wondered what Jesus would do if he were to come back a second(first???) time.

Now I know the answer!

What is wrong with our society today? Lately it seems that every time someone disagrees with some one else they go all fascist andtry and take that person’s rights away(by taking it to a “Human Rights” Commission among other tactics).

It seems the freaks at PETA are following in these self same footsteps. Apparently we have the right to wear what we want(thanks for that PETA) but we don’t have the right to eat what we want.

Alistair Currie, a spokesman for Peta, said: “Jessica Simpson might have a right to wear what she wants, but she doesn’t have a right to eat what she wants – eating meat is about suffering and death. Some people feel like they are standing up against a tide of political correctness when they make a statement like this – what she is really doing is standing up for the status quo.”

Well PETA, I would like to shove your views so far up your ass that you choke on them. I’m going to grill myself a steak for dinner tonight and dedicate the meal in your honour you lying, hypocritical, morality inverting sacks of shite.

I haven’t commented much on Dion’s green shaft program. That’s not because I’m not in favour of it or anything like that: any program by any party to address the issue of global warming is going to be incredibly painful. Let me just say that I’m neutral on the issue - especially since it has so little chance of every becoming law.

But I do have to laugh at the politics of it all. Here are the grits committing classic Tory mistakes of policy driven campaigns(wage/price controls federally and school funding provincially). That strategy typically does not do well. Despite all the support from the usual talking heads, I don’t see that changing much.

That’s especially true since the Grits have had it in their power to call an election on any issue at any time. They have repeatedly failed to do so. If the ‘green shaft‘ issue is so damned important, they should have taken the country to the polls and explained their position then. That they haven’t just shows me that this new issue of Dion’s is just more of the same old bluster that I’ve come to expect from this current incarnation of the Grits.

Sad, very sad.

My youngest son is following developments in this field carefully and breathlessly reports them at the dinner table at every opportunity.

All I can see is ewwwwwwwwwww.
