Hirsi Ali slams feminism's 'trivial BS'

"Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a harsh critic of Islam’s treatment of women, said Wednesday that modern American feminism is focused on “trivial bullshit” and needs to be reclaimed."

We got what we fought for in the sixties and seventies, now quit your bitching.

Oh Yes, Baby!!

Canada won’t run for UN Security Council seat in 2014

"The foreign affairs minister says Canada won’t be mounting a new campaign for a spot on the United Nations security council.

John Baird says Canada is focusing on other priorities."

Pulling out perhaps?? Please!!

I can hear the leftards howling already.

Well Sweetheart...

Moderate turnout for Idle No More demonstration

...if you'd quit with the exaggerations (500 years, my ass) and stop pretending you're doing this for the rest of us, then you might actually "overcome" those "obstacles".

I have no patience for people who can't deal with reality.

Anyway, there's a sucker born every minute. I guess you were one of them.

Nah. She'll Put It Back...

...on again:

Hunger striker can face long-term health complications

Actually,...

...I think blond bimbos with phony boobs should be ended:

Pamela Anderson urges Alberta premier to end chuckwagon races at Calgary Stampede

I wonder if blond hair, big boobs and cluelessness all come together in the same gene? Mind you, I think the boobs had a little help (augmentation) courtesy of some surgeon. But, except in extreme cases, I think having breast augmentation surgery is, in itself, a sign of cluelessness.

(Read the comments under the article.)

Yesterday...

...Brad Wall's government brought down their budget and it included ending a subsidy for the "Arts Community". Today, the "Arts-Entitled-to-My-Entitlements-Community" is up in arms. Listening to them howl and whine is great entertainment in and of itself.

Thank you Brad Wall!

Eyes Rolling

And this is only the silly part of it.

Remember way back in the stone age, when I was in my late teens and early twenties, the argument that won the day and led to the elimination of the death penalty was that someone who had been wrongfully convicted might be killed by the state. Fair enough. But not only has DNA evidence poked at least some holes in that argument, but the leftards advocating on behalf of convicted criminals have carried their tear-jerker arguments, and modified them to modernize them, into the 21st century. Thus we get absurdities like the one dealt with in the clip above.

I have to wonder why these types would argue against the death penalty with the "what if we make a mistake" line of reasoning, but the "what if we make a mistake" line of reasoning is nowhere in sight today when it comes to issues like the one dealt with in the above clip or when it comes to early release of dangerous offenders from prison.

It's time for an honest discussion of the whole modern leftist/liberal approach to corrections and what it has and hasn't accomplished, including the unforeseen consequences, which the leftards do not want to acknowledge or even be exposed to. Instead, they keep repeating, like some worn out, sluggish mantra, that conservatives simply want to "punish" criminals.  Just goes to show how out of touch they are.

Mommy!

Things the "99%" Need To Learn

Trial of Khmer Rouge Leaders Starts in Phnom Penh

"On Monday the long-awaited trial of three surviving leaders of the Khmer Rouge opened in Phnom Penh. This week the tribunal hears opening arguments by the prosecution and by the defense. The three accused are charged with genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes."

[---]

"The list of alleged crimes is long and includes murder, extermination, enslavement, imprisonment, torture, persecution and willful killing, among others."

Now, if you soft, spoiled, incorrigible little brats occupying various parks here and there were seeking justice for something along those lines, you would have my sympathy. But, sorry, your cause is just as silly as you are. We haven't had this kind of injustice in the West for a very long time, and where it has materialized, most Western nations banded together to eliminate it, removed the regime that was responsible and/or brought the perpetrators to justice. This trial is a case in point. I spit in your general direction.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Protesters agree to move to 'secret location' in advance of injunction deadline

Oh, so much could be said. Where shall I start? With the smell?

Poor CBC...

...We feel soooo sorry for you:

Peladeau defends empire's right to probe CBC; says other media compromised

"Quebecor president Pierre-Karl Peladeau insists his company is not engaged in a vendetta against its CBC competitor, but is instead upholding a public duty to probe the affairs of a government-funded Crown corporation.

The media mogul appeared Thursday at a parliamentary committee hearing into why the CBC is fighting access-to-information laws in the courts.

The corporation says it has been swamped with hundreds of information requests, mainly from Quebecor's many media outlets, and suspects an orchestrated campaign to damage it.

But Peladeau denies that the quest for information is anything more than independent journalists doing their work."

[---]

"The two companies compete head to head in Quebec for television viewers. Quebecor's Sun Media division frequently publishes criticism of the CBC and has urged an end to its public funding.

Opposition critics suspect [Emphasis mine] Quebecor has allied itself with the federal Conservatives, who recently surveyed their members on whether the CBC provides good value for the taxpayer and are now eyeing budget cuts."

No, sweetheart. Quebecor has allied itself with the Canadian people, which ain't such a bad thing, considering how closely allied the CBC is with the Liberals.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

CBC's feeble attempt to fight back against Sun TV has them looking really, really stupid.

CBC fires broadside at competitor Quebecor

"The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has launched a public-relations counter-attack in response to a campaign by Quebecor's media holdings to cut funding to the public broadcaster.

In an unusual move, the CBC posted a "Get the Facts" news release on its website that alleges the Quebecor chain has received more than $500 million in public grants and subsidies over the past three years."

$500 million over three years. Hmmmm. I know math is hard for CBC types, but that's an average of $167 million per year. And what does CBC get? Why, well over twice the $500 million every year.

Looks like they don't understand the mechanism for accountability, either:

"Quebecor has received more than half-a-billion dollars in direct and indirect subsidies and benefits from Canadian taxpayers over the past three years, yet it is not accountable to them."

In the meantime, if you want to see the CBC get off the public teat, or say bye-bye all together, this might help. Rob Anders, Conservative MP from Calgary is leading the charge.

Another From The "Good Lord" File

'Bad mothering' lawsuit dismissed

"Raised in a $1.5 million Barrington Hills home by their attorney father, two grown children have spent the last two years pursuing a unique lawsuit against their mom for "bad mothering" damages allegedly caused when she failed to buy toys for one and sent another a birthday card he didn't like." I think I see their point, but maybe it was dad."

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Big Brother wants to silence us

"Imagine that: Artists are supposed to be at the forefront of freedom of expression. But government artists care more about their grant money than freedom. So they piled on.

Not to debate us. They don't believe in debate. They want to silence us.

Well, this week the Sun finally fired back. Our lawyers wrote a letter to the CBSC complainers explaining very slowly, and in small words, we are not part of the government. We are not like the CBC, which is owned and controlled by the government. We are free."

FTFY

Rights Wrongs groups uneasy over Cameron's riot crackdown

"Tossing rioters out of state-subsidized homes, unmasking young men who hide their faces behind hoods, demanding that phone networks shut off access to messaging services or social networks during unrest. (Ed. Sounds good to me.)

Britain's government has pledged an iron-fisted response to the wide-scale looting and violence that scarred London and other English cities — for some reminiscent of Margaret Thatcher's uncompromising stance against civil unrest. (Ed. Who, dear dingbats, was elected PM three times, two of which were with resounding majorities.)

While there are those who cheer the tough talk from Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron, others recall center-left leader Tony Blair's response to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States — and the legal missteps that corroded civil liberties and fueled mistrust of authority among young Muslims."

So wide spread destruction and looting have to be allowed in order to appease "young Muslims"? You go, Cameron! And may the courage of your strong stance spread to other Western capitals!

Seriously, though, I'll bet a large majority of Brits agree with their PM. It's only the MSM that wrings its hands and blubbers like a baby, while empowering Islamism. And BTW, did this riot have anything to do with perceived Muslim grievances? I don't think so, but even if it did, appeasement is not the answer.

"Cameron has pledged to hand police, local authorities and the courts sweeping powers to mete out severe punishments to those involved in the unrest. He has also warned that in the future, looters could be met by the rare sight of water cannons, dye sprays and even the country's military deployed on Britain's streets.

"The fight-back has well and truly begun," Cameron declared Thursday in an emergency session of Parliament.

Under one of the most contentious plans, the government will consider whether to make it easier for local authorities to evict people who are convicted of crimes and live in homes subsidized by taxpayers.

Currently, authorities can boot out residents who commit offenses in their own neighborhood only — and evict about 3,000 of Britain's 8 million public housing tenants each year. If the new plans are approved, it won't matter where a person has committed their crime."

Time to give this approach a try.

Where Is The Outcry?

Unlike the case with Fox News North (Sun TV News), when Canada's artsy-fartsy elites and the state broadcaster, with the help of American leftie organizations raised a big stink, trying to prevent it from ever going on air, it seems Huffington Post is setting up shop in Canada's cyberspace and being welcomed with open arms. Little wonder:

"On its first day, the site featured blog posts written by environmental activist David Suzuki, Green Party leader Elizabeth May and Victoria-raised, Oscar-nominated actress Meg Tilly."

Oh well. As we all know, the left is best known for its hypocrisy.

(I wonder if Arianna Huffington was caught having lunch with Margaret Atwood?)

CBC: Thick, Dense and oh so PC

"The weather in Toronto is stormy today, heavy winds, thunder storms and a 100% chance of four years of Rob Ford. The penny-pinching city councilor stormed the city's municipal elections last night when he walked away with nearly half the votes."

[---]

"Well you know that your campaign has been compared to Mike Harris's Common Sense Revolution, to the Tea Party movement."

As if that's a bad thing.

Well, it is the CBC, after all. Tax payers are irrelevant, you know. 

Notice that she couldn't accept his answers. It doesn't seem to dawn on her that the public chose him based on his promises, not on CBC's pet causes.

I love the way he just blew her off. I'm pretty sure her PC nose is seriously out of joint.

Too bad he isn't responsible for funding the CBC. Are you listening, Harper?

AGW Scam Busters - Blogroll Updated

Down toward the bottom of the sidebar I've added a list of AGW Scam Busters.  Check them out. This was in response to Disaffected Lib's crybaby lament about global warming.  Poor child was almost in tears. He thinks floods are something new.  I wrote a response to that idiocy here.  We need more like him. Lieberal ignorance is their own worst enemy. Here's a little graph to help him understand what he's doing. h/t Celestial Junk.





By the way, M of S, I'm still waiting for your better citations on another matter.  Eight months and counting........

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

From SDA this morning:

Poor Toronto. Sweltering in the heat, while their power went out.

"Unfortunately, that transmission plan got shelved, replaced by government directives to support more wind and solar generators."

Ontarians are restless. And they are not blaming Harper, even though their politicians are.
