Spring at last!



So this cold Canadian Clime has finally permitted winter to give way to spring. In the last week I've twice had to bail my children out of the mud, which in both cases meant calling the AAA.
Thank God I have AAA; way back when, MY father had to get me out of the mud the hard way.

they mean well...


We saw this sign yesterday A.M.. Which handicap were they thinking of?

Earthday again...


It's earthday again. Whoop de do. What began as a limited attempt 37 years ago to increase public awareness about pollution has metastasized into a society-distorting frenzy of Gaia-worshipping and humanity bashing. The midstream media has credulously swallowed the junk science of the global warming lobby's greenhouse hype.

I'm going to go rev up the SUV.

Standing for Nothing


If We Stand for Nothing, then any Soldier's death is enough to bring our troops home.

"Stay Focused on the Mission," Lorrie Goldstein's April 11th Sun Media editorial nails it -the reason why our national media dwells so excessively over almost every single casualty we take in Afghanistan. The editorial, titled: "Let's Not Lose Focus on Mission" points out that "honoring the dead, and respecting the grief of their families is one thing. But using every death to argue the mission should be abandoned, as so many in Canada's chattering classes do, is obscene."

So what do they hope to achieve by doing that? Discourage the nation?

As Lorrie points out, the mission is to defeat a freedom-hating, hate-fomenting, terrorist-training group of religious fanatics, who had enslaved their women and ruled their country with an iron-fisted reign of terror. The mission is to help the Afghans rebuild their country's ruined infrastructure; roads, schools, water treatment systems and hospitals.

The Problem with our chattering classes is they are, to steal from their own vocabulary, morally bankrupt. Standing for nothing beyond their own professional and/or personal gratifications these ex-hippie boomers view the world through the rose colored glasses of a moral relativism that eliminates traditional concepts like right and wrong, or good and evil. In this world-view, if evil exists, it is the forcing of others to consider any point of view other than their own. It's a John Lennon 'live and let live' philosophy; his song "Imagine" is their Anthem, and Lennon's nirvana of no religion, no countries, and no strife is their ideal.

In other words, these Lennon-liberals stand for nothing, and see their own country as evil because we're trying to impose democracy, freedom of religion, and freedom-from-terrorism on Al Quaida and the Taliban.

If you stand for nothing, then every soldier's death is a reason to bring the troops home. That's why they're trying to discourage the nation by dwelling so excessively on our casualties.

Two more soldiers were murdered today by the Taliban. Earlier this week, a terrorist I.E.D. killed six soldiers in a light armoured vehicle. Their deaths were over-reported for over two days with all the angst our media would muster over a school shooting or fatal natural disaster. We need to support our troops. Every one of them is a volunteer, and they need to know the sacrifices they're making over there won't be wasted.

I wanted to put the link for Lorrie Goldstein's editorial here, but I can't find the damn thing on neither the Edmonton Sun (which ran her editorial) or Toronto Sun (where she's based) websites. Her email is Lorrie.Goldstein@sunmedia.ca . Thanks to Cox&Forkum for the graphic.

Columbia House now Pushing Porn


To: ColumbiaHouse DVD club
cv_customer_service@columbiahousecanada.com

Dear Customer Service

My kids have just opened an offer for pornography in your regular monthly mailing. Thanks a lot, they really didn't need to see that shit. Your "Mature Subject Matter" disclaimer was fucking useless, inside the envelope, on the porn part of the mailing. Congratulations columbiahouse, you now have lowered yourself to the level of those porn-email-spammers and peep-show owners in the slummy part of town.

Please cancel, close, or terminate my membership in any and all Columbiahouse or ColumbiaHouseCanada plans/programs. You have lost me as a customer. This email is notice that I will no longer order, purchase, or pay for any items mailed to me by ColumbiaHouse, ColumbiaHouseCanada, or any affiliated company.

Stop sending me those monthly postcards. I will no longer respond to them and if you mail me any unsolicited DVDs I WILL NOT PAY FOR THEM.

I just had to pass this on...



The more successful a society is, the more useless twits it can support. Ours must be the most successful society in history.
