Taking sloppy liberal thinking and tearing it a new one -- but always with a touch of class.

Time for a new ambassador
[Comments (16) :: TrackBacks (1)]
When the senior diplomat is incapable of acting, well, diplomatic, it's time for a new diplomat. Maybe I didn't put that very diplomatically, but Frank McKenna doesn't deserve the effort....

Back in May, I noticed that Sunnybrook & Women's College Hospital was the recipient of over $440,000 from the Softwood Industry and Community Economic Adjustment Initiative (SICEAI), as recorded in the 2003-2004 Public Accounts. In 2002, SICEAI was announced by...

Ward Churchill ruins more lives
[Comments (7) :: TrackBacks (0)]
Ward Churchill, the faux Indian famous for his anti-American radicalism and his comparison of the victims of 9/11 to Nazis, continues to sow chaos wherever his name is mentioned. In this case, a petition at the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis...


John Roberts is confirmed, and the left chokes on sour grapes
[Comments (18) :: TrackBacks (1)]
The left never fails to amaze me with their hypocritical viciousness. For people who are so "gay friendly", they are quick to throw accusations of homosexuality as insults.


Question Period: A Waste of Time
[Comments (7) :: TrackBacks (0)]
Much of Question Period in the House of Commons is a waste of time. There seems to be no requirement for a member of the government to actually answer the questions being asked. Sometimes I think we should just scrap...


Gender Language

Cindy Sheehan: Using more than her son's name
[Comments (10) :: TrackBacks (1)]
Cindy Sheehan has been accused of using her son's name to pursue her own agenda, one that her son would not have supported. It's even worse than that -- she's using his insurance money as well.

Episcopal priests looking to State for protection from their Church
[Comments (3) :: TrackBacks (0)]

In the tension between Church and State, this is the first time I've heard of Church officials (in this case, Episcopal priests) appealing to the State for legal relief from a Church that seems to have lost its way.

Though I feel for these priests trying to be Christians in a Church that seems to have forgotten what that means, I think what they are doing is wrong. There is a right thing to do in this situation, but I can understand that this choice is a difficult one.

Cindy Sheehan tries to use the "imposter" defence...again

Cindy Sheehan was framed! That's right! Anything you read from her Kos account that sounds good, she wrote. If it sounds bad, someone else wrote it. It's really a simple system.

If I were facing a contentious divorce, I would be sure to avoid getting arrested for fear of giving leverage to my ex who might not want me to have access to the kids. Cindy Sheehan obviously has other priorities.

Cindy Sheehan: Taken to the woodshed
[Comments (17) :: TrackBacks (10)]
Stop reading about Rita and Katrina. According to Cindy Sheehan, it's "just a little rain". She's upset because the media is not spending enough time on her. As it turns out, her arrogance and narcissism have become too much even for the moonbats.
