Everything in Texas is BIG
Including the lies. Hopefully this young girl has learned something from this whole ordeal. I for some reason doubt that her mom has....
If there were a "Club Libby Lu" here in Edmonton, I would go and buy something just to show my support for their decision in this matter.
I won't do the online shopping thing as I refuse to use my credit card online. My support only goes so far....
One year later
U.S. To Re-Hang Saddam Hussein:
WASHINGTON, DC—Calling last December's execution of Saddam Hussein "anticlimactic," White House officials announced Monday their intention to hang the late Iraqi dictator again this year in an attempt to garner a more favorable response from the public. [...]
You know... this really would not surprise me.... and now for the real News
The on going page
Paging Al Gore, Paging David Suzuki... Paging Al Gore, Paging David Suzuki... Atlantic Canada really really wants a word with you!
With age also comes wisdom
First of all I would like to pass on my condolences to Christopher Klim's family. The death of a loved one is never easy to deal with. The circumstances of Christopher's death make it that much harder to understand.
The Canadian Press: Via CTV:
Klim's grandparents Harry and Shirley released a statement saying they appreciate the support and help they've received dealing with their grandson's mental illness over the years.
They say they don't blame anyone for what happened and are thankful no one else was physically harmed in the situation.
Certainly not the "usual" response we are use to hearing this day and age.
Monty Python Taliban Style
You're fired... No I'm not... Yes you are... You can't fire me... Yes I can... No you can't... I just did... You don't have that authority... Mullah Omar said so... No he didn't... Yes he did... prove it... I have an an audio clip...No you don't!

Will this Nightmare ever end?
I had no idea that this years Rose Bowl was featuring an exciting match up between the Mother from hell and the President of the United States of America. The halftime show will consist of a demonstration of Chinese cultivation practices. And this people is just the Rose Bowl Parade.
I can't imagine what fun the real game will bring. With names like the "Fighting Illini" and the "Trojans", there is a 2% chance of a break through, and a 98% chance that all will be safe in the end zones.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
Lets start with a bit of humor from Jeff Dunham and his pal Achmed shall we...
Now lets move on to a little more serious matter. I belong to no religion. I am however not without faith and I do have my beliefs. I have faith that good will always win over evil, given enough time. I have faith in mankind, although some days I do wonder. I believe we are not alone in this universe, I simply refuse to be that arrogant. December 25, is Christmas Day. It was way before you and I were born, and will remain so way after we are gone. So lets quit kidding ourselves with this "Happy Holidays" crap shall we. I believe in calling a spade a spade.
Merry Christmas, and yes, that is with a capital C.

Merry Christmas
To the outstanding men and women who have chosen to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces.
"Merry Christmas My Friend" AKA "The Soldiers Night Before Christmas"
The original poem was written by Corporal James M Schmidt, 1993. It has been altered several times. This is not the original version, but is more suited to those in the Canadian Forces.
Twas the night before Christmas.
He lived all alone,
In a one bedroom house made of
Plaster and Stone.
I had come down the Chimney,
With presents to give.
And to see just who In this home
did live.
I looked all about
A strange sight I did see.
No tinsel, No presents,
Not even a tree.
No stocking by the mantle,
Just boots filled with sand.
On the wall hung pictures
Of far distant lands.
With medals and badges,
Awards of all kinds,
A sober thought
Came through my mind.
For this house was different,
It was dark and dreary,
I found the home of a soldier,
Once I could see clearly.
The soldier lay sleeping,
Silent, alone,
Curled up on the floor
In this one bedroom home.
The face was so gentle,
The room in such disorder,
Not how I pictured
Was this the hero
Of whom I'd just read?
Curled up on a Poncho,
The floor for a bed?
I realized the families
That I saw this night,
Owed their lives to these soldiers
Who were willing to fight.
Soon round the world,
The children would play,
And grownup's would celebrate
A bright Christmas Day.
They all enjoyed freedom
each month of the year,
Because of the soldiers,
Like the one lying here.
I couldn't help wonder
How many lay alone,
On a cold Christmas Eve
In a land far from home.
The very thought
Brought a tear to my eye,
I dropped to my knees
And started to Cry.
The soldier awakened
And I heard a rough voice,
"Santa don't cry,
This life is my choice."
The solider rolled over
And drifted to sleep,
I couldn't control it,
I continued to weep.
I kept watch for hours,
So silent and still
And we both shivered
From the cold nights chill.
I didn't want to leave
On that cold, dark, night,
This guardian of Honor
So willing to fight.
The solider rolled over,
With a voice soft and pure,
Whispered, "Carry on Santa,
It's Christmas Day, All is secure."
One look at my watch,
And I knew he was right.
Merry Christmas my friend, And to all a good night.

The One Word Canadian Liberals Hate
Sponsorship
probe still active
Perhaps someday Canadians will finally know the truth of this matter and ALL of those connected will pay for this crime. I personally won't be holding my breath though...

Sin of All Sins
Jason Cherniak loves green beer and leprechaun's, although he had no clue as to what day those things are associated with. He probably likes popcorn too... Apparently he also has no clue as to where, why or by whom it is associated either.
A commenter has pointed out that Mr. Harper has called the by-elections for St. Patrick's Day. The man simply has no class.
Heaven forbid a by-election would interfere with people drinking GREEN BEER!
Newfoundland and Labrador is the only place in Canada that has this day as a holiday due to its Irish heritage. I don't recall any of the four by-election being held in NL. Ontario, check... Saskatchewan, check... British Columbia, check... nope no NL there. Can you therefore try to justify your statement Jason other than the fact that you are a Liberal and anything that Prime Minister Harper does offends you...
Update:(12/22/08 @ 11:00 AM) I have taken Cherniak's faux rage over having a by-elections on St Patrick's day and applied it to the whole of 2008. According to the Earth Calendar there are only 6 days in the year 2008 that are not recognized by someone somewhere. NONE of those dates fall on a Monday. Therefore, using Jason's Liberal logic, we cannot have a by election in 2008. I would assume that would also mean no general elections either as multi cultural Canadians would never want to offend anyone. Unfortunately this calendar stops at Dec. 31, 2008 at the moment, or I could have continued my search to see if and when it would ever be safe to have an election in Canada that would not offend poor little Jason. I will remind Jason if and when his leader forces an election, if the date that it produces does not comply with his new formula.
For the curious... The dates in 2008, with no recognized days are:
January 17(Thurs.), 23(Wed.),30(Wed.).
February 13(Wed.), 20(Wed.).
April 10(Thurs.).
Not even a Moron...
would put any trust in the UN. Wake up people! It is corrupt! Top to bottom...

Get your bets down
Odds are currently set at 75 to 1 that 2007 WD5 will not hit Mars on January 30th, 2008.
The asteroid, known as 2007 WD5, was discovered in late November and is similar in size to an object that hit remote central Siberia in 1908, unleashing energy equivalent to a 15-megatonne nuclear bomb and wiping out 60 million trees.
Damn good thing there are no trees on Mars eh!
Has anyone put a call into Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler and the rest of the blue-collar deep-core drillers? "For Love. For Honor. For Marskind."
Snow Shovel Shortage
OMG! What will we do? Apparently Canada is suffering from a shortage of snow shovels. Perhaps when the fine people in Bali are done cleaning up all the bullshit left from the Bali conference, they will send us their shovels...
Not Enough
If this is not an injustice, I truly have no idea what is.
An Ontario man who sexually abused his young daughter live on the internet in 2006 was sentenced to four years in prison by a judge in St. Thomas Wednesday.
4 years? Thats it? WTF?
The money quote...
[...] But defence lawyer Bob Upsdell pushed for a sentence that would amount to two more months in prison. He said his client has been beaten up twice while in custody. [...]
This man is lucky if all he got was, "beaten up twice". His daughter received far worse! Hopefully prison justice will KICK in and he will do some hard time.

A Scientific Slap
Catastrophic impacts made life flourish
A very interesting read... I found this part in particular very interesting...
[...] "It took us about 15 years to accumulate data for this finding, and it's something that isn't just a computer model or simulation. It's real, tactile evidence," he said of the work, which included slowly acid-dissolving almost a ton of rock collected from around the world to sift out bits of chromium. [...]
(Emphasis mine)
Do you get the feeling that he is trying to send a little message to some other scientist? Nudge nudge wink wink...
Anyone have some Ozone depletion credits for sale?
The enviros that were attending the Bali conference, need some help. Seems they had a tough time keeping their cool. Not only did they not purchase nearly enough carbon credits to offset their little vacation, they did not purchase any Ozone depletion credits.
[...] The air-conditioning system installed to keep more than 10,000 delegates cool used highly damaging refrigerant gases - as lethal to the atmosphere as 48,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, and nearly the equivalent of the emissions of all aircraft used to fly delegates to Indonesia. [...]
[...] Staff from Australia's Natural Refrigerants Transition Board and the London- and Washington-based Environmental Investigation Agency noticed the stockpiled cylinders of hydrochlorofluorocarbons - a refrigerant likely to be phased out over the next few years because it devours ozone in the upper atmosphere.
In addition, the refrigerant is a potent greenhouse gas, with each kilogram at least as damaging as 1.7 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
Investigators at the Balinese resort complex at Nusa Dua counted 700 cylinders of the gas, each of them weighing 13.5 kilograms, and the system was visibly leaking.
The air-conditioning system, which used two kilometres of plastic pipe, serviced the European pavilion, the UN Secretariat offices, the media centre and other temporary areas. [...]
It appears that Mr. Chris Goodall's prediction was correct.
The UN estimates 42,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide and other pollutants will be pumped into the atmosphere during the 12-day conference in Bali. [...]
If correct, Goodall said, that's equivalent to what a western city of 1.5 million people, like Marseilles, France, would emit in a day. He believes the real figure will be twice that.
Sometimes, staying home is just the right thing to do...
