Home of the Anti-Fascist Coalition.

The Stillman stirreth.

So far no sign that Dion recognizes that the only honourable thing left
for him to do is to slink away and fall on his sword.  I doubt he’ll hang on
for long, but if he does the Libs will need to run two conventions
instead of one, thus spending more money they don’t have.

I am of the opinion now that the Tories have launched a battle of
attrition.  They have cut the Liberal income by shrinking the number of
votes they can collect money on.  Furthermore, they forced the Liberals
to borrow more money to run the campaign.  This has pushed them deeper
into debt and slashed revenue.  Lastly, the Liberal leadership hopefuls
are still in debt from the last round — this will push them further
into the hole.  I suspect Dion may be ruined as I believe he still has a
massive debt from his leadership run.  How will he ever pay it off.  No
wonder he pushed and then told off a CTV reporter last night!  Not to
mention the law suit he has yet to fight.  I hear a song: “suicide is
painless…”

It was wonderful listening to their overwhelming disappointment
stemming from their sense of entitlement. Dosanjh was the best.  

He bashed the electorate and said they should force the NDP to vote

for the government this time.  He almost lost his seat–too bad he didn’t.  

Lastly the NDP has nothing to brag about.  They got the same percentage
of vote as always: between 18 and 20.  ”I’m Jack Layton and I’m running
for Prime Minister.”  Ha!  You finished fourth, you slimy socialist git.

All in all I’m impressed that the Tories managed to climb back to 38%.
I think they are safe for another three years.  Now that the Liberals
are facing financial collapse it might just be time to remove the
campaign spending limit as it goes against free speech.  My only regret
is that they were not more aggressive in the campaign.

No casualties.

 

Anyone want a deal on a used SUV??

You take your chances when you visit Utah…….. 

Sobering photo of an SUV that got lit up by mistake, by an F16 driver

near the air-ground gunnery range outside Dugway, Utah. The ‘light

paint and body damage’ is the result of a one-quarter- second burst by

the fighter’s 20 mm gun, which fires about 3000 rounds per minute. An

estimated 70 rounds left the gun; the results are as you see here.

What’s even more astonishing is the SUV was being driven at the time.

The driver and the guy in the right-hand passenger seat escaped with

some light glass injury to the driver, and a dislocated shoulder to

the passenger. The shots hit the gas tank, but didn’t explode; the gas

just leaked out. The passenger who normally sits in the back seat had

just moved to another vehicle. 

The vehicle was on the military reservation, but a full three miles

away from the gunnery range. 

The pilot is probably busily writing ‘I WILL NOT ENGAGE SOFT CIVILIAN

VEHICLES IN NO-FIRE ZONES’ 1,000 times, after which he will be PCS’d

to Shemya AFB, Alaska. 

The good news is that he only had 508 rounds of Ball Training Ammo and

not HEI (high explosive incendiary)!!

“……..but sir, I thought we were using the mechanical range

and I was to engage moving targets……..”

Remember Mao’s special ‘umbrellas’ to protect against fall-out?

Well, we had better get a bunch.

Go here and shiver.

On second thought, vote OBAMA. He’ll sit down without pre-conditions and negotiate a way out.

Can you take it?

 

“I am a Canadian, 
a free Canadian, 
free to speak without fear, 
free to worship God in my own way, 
free to stand for what I think right, 
free to oppose what I believe wrong, 
free to choose those who shall govern my country. 
This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold 
for myself and for all mankind.”

Great … but Richard has some doubts, and I voted Conservative at 0830 AST today out of negative reasoning, i.e. the others are all way worse. I want a party that will truly represent me and millions of other Canadians.

Electioneering sickness. I think I need to go here for a while.

More sludge from the Obama swamp.

About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze. They were mostly women and children. Those who tried to flee were hacked to death by machete-wielding members of a mob numbering 2,000.

The 2008 New Year Day atrocity in the Kenyan village Eldoret, about 185 miles northwest of Nairobi, had all the markings of the Rwanda genocide of a decade earlier.

By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. More than 500,000 were displaced by the religious strife. Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.

DEMOCRAT FRIENDS …

… CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT YOUR PARTY IS, KNOWINGLY OR OTHERWISE, ENDANGERING THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION AND SUBVERTING THE MEANING OF DEMOCRACY?

MCCAIN IS A REPUBLICAN AND NOT A STIRRING CANDIDATE, BUT HE IS AN AMERICAN PATRIOT.

ELECT HIM … IF ONLY TO SAVE AMERICA.

READ THIS.

Well, even if the Philip Berg/Kenya story turns out to have no legs, ACORN is going to give us lots of interest over the next three weeks.

Go here, to — get this — CNN.

I think THE ONE has a problem or two on his hands.

McCain may be able to go on safari and still win this.

Michelle Malkin is all over Leftist insanity and hatred.

This is just way beyond creepy. How do ‘good’ Leftists (yes, my Leftist friends are good folks) stand the company they must inevitably share?

The Obamedia is attempting to set yet another false narrative: The narrative of the McCain “mob.” McCain-Palin rallies are out of control, they wheedle. Conservatives are mad! They’re yelling mean things about Obama and calling him names! It’ scaaaaary!

Here is the link.
