One picture damns all – The Israeli Foreign Minister reasons rationally

At the risk of being accused of criticising Israel and thus being subjected to accusations of hating everything Jewish. I found this page wherein the the seemingly confused Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman is insisting that a picture be sent around the world.

The reason for this is because the Minister appears to have gotten himself [...]

Wowser – a great word that will apply to all of us some of the time and some of us all of the time

Came across the magnificent word “wowser” today.
It’s Australian in origin and means:
“An ineffably pious person who mistakes this world for a penitentiary and himself for a warder” CJ Dennis

Time falls back- If GW can change it on a whim why do we do it?

The clocks went back last night and will go forward again in the spring.

Many reasons are cited for this strange custom which seems to be neglected in Saskatchewan. They range from:
The drive behind the switch was “to adjust daylight hours to when most people are awake and about,” Mosley said.
to:
Mosley said. Research has shown that [...]

Nobody lies like a Tory – Conservatives in Canada buy votes

Well deary me. The personality cult that has formed around Stephen Harper has fallen into the trap that all totalitarian parties fall  into. Hypocrisy.
So “Reform” Stevie will pay off whoever he needs to in order to hold onto power, so much for doing the right thing. Add this to the list of principles that the [...]

Vaccinations – possibly the greatest protector of life ever devised by humankind, but the Americans don’t appreciate it. Woo gets in the way.

Vaccinations made the news this week.
First of all we find out that Wired magazine points out that the irrational sectors of society are refusing to immunise their children against childhood killers, because their middle class sensibilities lead them to believe in all sorts of irrational crap, aka woo. This attitude is supported by many an [...]

It appears there was a cover up of catholic crimes against children in Canada

Papa Ratzy recently complained about the dangers of materialism. Various right wing bloggers delightfully point out the horrible excesses of moslems who victimise children and women.
But the above rarely address the issue of their own failings in the area of the abuse of women and children by white xtian organisations. It would appear that Papa [...]

Pope – hypocrite, stand up comedian or demented fool?

The pope has decided to warn Africa about the perils that it still faces now that European colonialism has been defeated. Materialism that spiritually bankrupt philosophy that recommends that you should only believe what you can show to be real is the greatest threat to Africans according to Papa Ratzy.
He rejoices  in the defeat of [...]

District 9 what about District B13

vs
When I first saw the trailer for the summer blockbuster District 9 I remembered a French film I saw called District B13 or Barrio 13.
The new film has a lot in common with the French film. Both include an unwanted population of a walled off Barrio in an otherwise perfect world and both [...]

Canadian Teabaggers – an oxymoron if ever there was one

So the wee nasty got to speak along side another of her ilk who desperately seeks martyrdom in the name of US ideology even though they live in Canada,
The overwhelming irony for me is that these idiots live in a Canada formed by those who rejected the rebellious ideas of those south of the border [...]

Right wing arguments – keep saying the same thing until your opponent realises that you aren’t listening

Raph posts yet again and ironically accuses his opponents of cultural relativism.
There is a disturbing increase of incidents in western countries whereby modern liberal cultural relativists are undermining the very foundations of our culture by allowing for the inclusion of barbaric cultural family laws.
This is the man who can find all sorts of excuses for [...]
