Baserunner Caught In Rundown Bites Cyanide Capsule To Avoid Falling Into Enemy Hands

Posted at 9:24 on May 20, 2012
The Onion: SEATTLE—In order to avoid capture by the visiting Minnesota Twins Thursday, Mariners center fielder Franklin Gutierrez bit down on his team-issued cyanide capsule during a run down between second and third base. “When you’re surrounded by defenders on both sides with no escape in sight, team protocol is to self-terminate,” said Mariners third base coach Jeff Datz, adding that running outside the baseline is never an option. “Fr...

The Gradual Unhinging of the Harpercons.

Posted at 6:00 on May 20, 2012 by noreply@blogger.com kirbycairo
The central political question in Canada has lately become “just how far off the rails will the Conservative Party go?” For a long time political watchers have predicted the eventual self-immolation of Harper and his self-absorbed, bullyboy whackos. It was clear to most of us that once these guys got a majority they would begin to go off the deep-end. They have long been peddlers of hate who are so wrapped up in their own state of bizarre paranoia that it is nearly impossible for ...

Ezra on the Quebec rioters

Posted at 3:24 on May 20, 2012 by noreply@blogger.com Roy Eappen
An excellent piece by Ezra on the breakdown of the rule of law in Quebec. What’s going on in Quebec cannot be called protests. The right word is riots. That’s what you call it when masked vandals smash cars, brea...

What’s really driving Mulcair’s divisive oil sands tactic?

Posted at 2:49 on May 20, 2012 by BC Blue
In all the media brainiacs’ musing about NDP leader Thomas Mulcair’s attack on the oil sands and PM Harper’s Western “messenger” premiers, no one has delved into whether Mulcair is setting himself up for a possible Quebec premi...

Muslim Sudan, a much loved country of the UN, condemns a woman to death by stoning

Posted at 12:25 on May 20, 2012 by MariaS
Do you think the completely islamized UN will stop this barbaric event from happening or do you think they will buy ringside seats to watch it? There’s hunger in Africa, there’s injustice in Muslim lands, there’s death of Christians by Muslims in Muslim lands, there’s sex slaves,(mostly underaged boys and girls) in Muslim lands, there’s stoning of women and honor killings in Muslim lands …. but the blasted ...

Makes one wonder where else and how much more creeping has happened/is happening, that we are not aware of and might never know of.  Our only salvation, in fact our very last hope would be that the idiots who make up the governments of the USA and Canada, put a total stop to muslim immigration. However, deep down we know they don’t have the balls to do that …. so...

Margaret Wente Fumbles Another

Posted at 7:49 on May 20, 2012 by bigcitylib
Her model of an ungrateful Que. student is from out of province.  Plus there’s a nice bit of writing from MC at the end: I suppose from where Margaret Wente sits in her upscale Toronto neighbourhood, Greeks and Québecers might look the same – tiny, and far away – especially when you can’t be bothered to look. Most Québecers disagree with the protests, but that d...

In today’s Sun: Mulcair is a disgrace

Posted at 2:24 on May 20, 2012 by Warren
It’s early days. But watching NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair destroy himself, as he is now inarguably doing with his anti-West tirades, makes for compelling theatre. In politics, no wound is ever as deep as the self-inflicted one. And Mulcair — with his stubborn insistence that he is right and everyone else is w...

Christians being slaughtered in Nigeria and Kenya … did you hear even a whisper of condemnation

from your supposedly Christian MPs or Ministers in Canada?  Don’t forget that these guys are the same guys who are quick to sign their names to the millions of dollars of your tax money going to these countries in aid.  Aid for what and to whom?  To government that can’t or won’t protect Christians? Next time you get a call from your MP’s office with their begging cup in your face … don’t forget to ask them what they have done to highlight t...

The Assault on EI Begins

Posted at 8:26 on May 19, 2012 by ottlib
Earlier in the week it was reported that the Conservative government is proposing changes to EI, which will make it more difficult for people to get EI and once they do get it make it more difficult to keep receiving benefits.  And in a particular case of nastiness they will make it really difficult for people who need EI more than once.  Today, in both the Ottawa Citizen and the National Post we see stories about how EI is damaging Canda, particularl...

Bill 78 and the Slow Decline. . . .

Posted at 3:00 on May 19, 2012 by noreply@blogger.com kirbycairo
If there were any doubts in your mind that we are inching our way toward a police state, there can surely be no doubt left after this week’s passage of Bill 78 in Quebec. That part of the Bill that deals with public demonstrations is a deeply draconian measure that effectively puts an end to the very notion of public opposition. As written the Bill necessitates that anyone who wants to engage in a political demonstration of more than ten people must notify the police eigh...
