Leaky faucets

What better way to avoid taking the heat while reversing direction than with a leak? We need not have worried though; the drip it appears, amounts to nothing more than the typical shallow bowl of watered down Conservative policy du jour.
Like a flea circus, they create little clouds of dust scurrying from one flip-flop to another trying to find that ever so elusive, solid Conservative position that’d be in keeping with their philosophy (which they don’t subscribe to because they were never conservatives to begin with).
Ah, but the circus knows no end. Stevie demonstrates his brand of Barney Fife style decisive leadership by adding a second fax saying, “Don’t you dare tell anyone”.
This is beyond the gang that couldn’t shoot straight; they don't even have a gun.

strategic Value of Somalia?

Maybe it has to do with potential sea ports or, maybe there is hidden mineral wealth but whatever the reason or reasons, the USA doesn’t go about starting wars for nothing. That Somalia serves a strategic purpose to the USA (or the henchmen now running the show) is something you can bet your ass on.
Of notable interest today is the New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/
article, not so hidden on the first page, that specifies guns for hire are the holding up progress towards whatever puppet government is now acting on behalf of George…..well, at least the people that do George’s thinking. Far be it from anyone to suggest that maybe, just maybe the warlords are combining efforts to get rid of the US puppets and get back to Islamic Cleric control that was emerging and slowly, at long last, restoring peace…up until the US planned/sponsored invasion.
Of what strategic value is Somalia to George’s thinkers? Who the hell knows but wouldn’t it be fun if some real journalists with some real contacts actually BBQ’d some yankee ass and laid it all out for the world to see…..before it goes much further?
Well, at least we got one report that throws out the G’boys theory for launching another war. (That’d be your “Al Qaeda all over the country”, excuse).

Exlax Might Improve Her Vision

Years ago a pious man told me the reason he and others like him (?) liked the Calgary Sun was that the Sun offers them (?) a chance to voice their opinion. The fact that the Calgary Sun leads the league in sexploitation and promotion of the local sex trade did not distract, sway or anyhow influence the man’s thinking (also, the local Bishop runs a regular column with the irony of it flying right over his head).
It would come as no surprise to many that around the time of growing approval of the Sun by local evangelical’s the same Sun offered a thought provoking question, “what’s wrong with a little religion in politics”. Of course the answer is, if you’re asking the question the answer isn’t going to help you one bit.
Canada surely has more evangelicals in the party holding power than does Iran. Sure as hell we got the largest collection of hillbilly evangelicals sitting in government. These folks are to politics what plugged sinuses are to fresh air. For the sake of your country, Canada, dump them, PLEASE.
