Hiatus

Been away doing the footy thing for the weekend.
It was a great weekend and the team did well.

Doggy doos

So the interpretation put on this by the gullible is the pooch is praying

Nope the dog is begging.
Mine does it for liver treats and teeth cleaning bones.
Maybe the guy is also begging but nobody is going to throw him a treat. Good thing he isn’t Catholic and a priest is standing behind him.

Church and the Reich

A wee while ago on some of the various blogs that I look at, Vox`s (way back) and now Pharyngula and Skeptico, there were some interesting and not so interesting discussions about the role of the xtian church in the Nazi state.
Bonhoeffer was mentioned and a lot of folk generally thought the the church was [...]

Pomposity of Scientists

Another one of the blogs I read regularly recently tried to address the issue of Evolution v ID.
One God Botherer decided to accuse the scientific establishment of ” being pompous” in that they would attempt to try and find answers to the unanswerable. Roland Ronald was the ultimate example of why ID and those [...]

Why are people here holding a swastika anyway?

Just found out that right wing scumbags are exercising their right to public expression.
Why do these idiots think they are Canadians. They wave insignia and profess views from nazi Germany and claim to be patriots. I would like to add my support to the anti-nazis/anti-rascists who opposed this march.
Hey aryan idiots Canada fought that aryan [...]

Welcome To Canada

Recently I read a comment from a blogger called Spirit wolf at the site “Halls of Macedamia”:
Spirit Wolf said… The thing is, if Brenda was a Muslim or a Sikh, or had been born in another country and was a paper “Canadian”, the government would be falling all over itself to get her out. [...]

Iraq – what is the real figure

I read a lot about folk in the US and UK talking about the true figure of their dead in Iraq. It causes extremely heated discussions in some fora.
I also listen and read with some despair the nasty stuff that surrounds the number of Canadians killed in Afghanistan. The line taken by the right wingers [...]

Depressed….. no not really

Wow the right wing in Canada and the USA really make me yearn for the right in Britain. No not the brainless NF right, but rather the “decent” reactionary gentlemen of the shires.
All I hear in N America is whining from the conservatives here. That and abject displays of incompetence. Even British tories would mobilise [...]

Anti women for being born that way

One of the links I include on the list to the right, Vox Day is prone to some serious anti female invective.
I have no idea why, he claims to have married one of the most beautiful ever and has sired children by her yet any woman who has not found herself a man or is [...]

Maggie’s sick

It appears the iron lady is on the way out.
Can’t say that I ever was a fan. I worked in steel mills throughout the mid 80s and some of them were in S Wales.
The miners strike was a deliberately engineered conflict against what were very powerful unions. Unfortunately for Mags she was the right [...]
