As predictably as a morning dump, the completely irrelevant ex-VP took the opportunity of the undiebomber attack to do a little mouthing off about what he characterized as Obama’s “low-key” approach to terrorism.  Obama doesn’t know we’re at war!  Obama doesn’t want to keep us safe! What a king-hell douche: “He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core Al Qaeda-trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war,’’ Cheney continued. “He seems to think if he gets rid of the words, ‘war on terror,’ we won’t be at war. But … [Read more...]

It's 1.2 million people marching on Mexico City in 2006 to denounce the abrogation of their right to fair democratic representation by their government..You know why I'm posting this picture. For the second time in a year, Steve the Despot and Her Excellency of the Rubber Stamp have dismissed Parliament to avoid facing accountability for government actions. All 37 bills before the current Parliament will die, the motion to disclose government documents relating to the cover-up on Afghan detainees will die, parliamentary committees cannot sit, and by the time Parliament eventually resumes on March … [Read more...]

An incompetent would-be terrorist sets his bag aflame and we’re rushing to install invasive Orwellian security technology?  Get. A. Grip!: Transport Canada is actively examining ways to implement full-body scanners at airports, a spokesperson said Wednesday. “We are working with CATSA (the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority) to implement various screening techniques and millimetre-wave technology is one of them,” said Maryse Durett. Two airports involved in the failed Christmas Day attempt to blow up Northwest Airlines Flight 253 announced Wednesday they are rushing to … [Read more...]

Do I need to write an actual Dear Jon Letter for you to get the point? You decide if this is sufficient warning or if you need it to be...formalized. Seriously, 68.147.XX.XXX, please confirm if this is your identity. I will be back to writing soon and I don't want to deal with this shit. Sayonara … [Read more...]

The threat is grave and growing: In a blog post on her website titled “It might be time now,” birther queen Orly Taitz seemed to suggest today a call to arms against President Obama. “What is the real intention of this Kenyan, Indonesian communist usurper? Is it to provide security for us or to destroy our security? Judge for yourself. Seeing targeted destruction of our economy, our security, dissipation of American jobs, massive corruption in the Government, Congress Department of Justice and Judiciary, it might be time to start rallies and protests using our second amendment … [Read more...]

Werner has officially accepted his nomination in the Craziest Canadian Bloggers of 2009 contest, Conservative category.   Best of luck, Werner — you’ve got stiff competition, so to speak. Friendly Reminder: there are two(2) categories, conservative and liberal (and possibly three(3) if we can round up enough non-partisan nutbars).  That means there will be two(2) Winners, Craziest conservative and Craziest liberal.  There won’t be an overall Craziest blogger — apples to apples, etc. When making a nomination, it helps to provide a link to evidence of craziness — … [Read more...]

Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan ... next stop - Yemen?Since that guy who detonated his underwear on a plane on Christmas Day claimed to have been sent by the al-Qaeda network in Yemen in retaliation for US/Saudi bombing raids inside Yemen, Saudi policy analysts are popping up in the Globe and Mail to report that Yemen is now more dangerous to the West than Afghanistan:The botched attack on the U.S. plane came a day after Yemeni forces, with the help of U.S. intelligence, launched the second of two major air and ground assaults on major al-Qaeda hideouts in Yemen. [Ed : Odd coincidence, that]Anwar Eshki, … [Read more...]

I think if we were to run a check on the backgrounds of all the members of Sechelt city council, we’d find it unfairly stacked with cat lovers.  I can’t think of any other reason for this draconian bylaw that would criminalize dogs who chase squirrels, rats and seagulls: Sechelt dogs that “without provocation” chase any animal — be it a rat, squirrel, seagull, bear or cougar — would violate a dog licensing and control amendment bylaw that passed three readings at the Dec. 16 council meeting. The first draft of the bylaw, prepared by District of Sechelt staff, would … [Read more...]

It’s official:  the failed bombing of Flight 253 on Christmas Day was an Al Qaeda Terrorist Attack.   As everyone knows by now, I refer to the jangled little event that saw a would-be terrorist turn his crotch into a Banana Flambe trying to detonate an explosive device on board a Detroit-bound plane.  Although the bomb didn’t go off, the event is clearly a pivotal moment of some import:  it already has a Wiki page.  And now “Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula” has taken credit for the effort: Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has claimed responsibility for the attempted … [Read more...]

Yet another article PR piece telling us how the Canada-US border can become 'wafer thin' again, if only we just agree to get inside a North American security perimeter ... Canada warms to the idea of a tougher 'perimeter'reads the Star headline while supplying no evidence to support it.Apparently, however, "the more knowledgeable watchers of the cross-border condition suggest Canadians are ready". Like the director of the Canada Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, concern-trolling about Canada's pig-headed insistance on remaining Canada :"Perimeter is no longer a dirty word. It's … [Read more...]

Some people will do anything for a little excitement. Here’s a guy who wired up a bunch of sausages to make them look like sticks of dynamite and strapped them around his waist, strolled into a restaurant, demanded the day’s take, and held the police off for an hour… until the arrival of the bomb squad, who exploded into laughter: Singe He threatened to blow up a restaurant and its patrons unless they handed over the day’s takings. But when a specialist bomb unit arrived, they realised the bangers were actually sausages. ‘When we saw what he had round his waist, we couldn’t … [Read more...]

Remember the worried teabagger who called into CSpan last week to ask if his imprecatory prayers against Senator Byrd had backfired and killed Senator Inhofe instead? Well, a couple of other video clips have surfaced featuring a caller who sounds very similar to the prayerful ‘bagger, so it looks like the call might have been a prank.  If so, this guy is pretty good. … [Read more...]

Being both an omnivore and a plant lover I’ve always hated when some vegetarians/vegans try to claim higher moral ground based on their food choices. Scientists are becoming more aware of just how spectacular plants really are; “Plants are not static or silly,” said Monika Hilker of the Institute of Biology at the Free University of Berlin. “They respond to tactile cues, they recognize different wavelengths of light, they listen to chemical signals, they can even talk” through chemical signals. Touch, sight, hearing, speech. “These are sensory modalities and abilities we normally … [Read more...]
