A Post For A Friday

Just news before the week-end.


Surely, this is a snow job:


The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has found the Liberal riding association in Guelph, Ont. guilty of violating the Telecommunications Act for its use of an automated robocall in the last federal election.


This is why journalism is a joke:


U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney took a dig at President Barack Obama on Friday over his birth certificate in comments that reignited a controversy over the Democrat's eligibility to be president.

"No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate," a smiling Romney told a rally of some 7,000 people in his home state of Michigan.

"They know that this is the place that we were born and raised," he said to the laughter of the crowd, speaking alongside his wife, Ann.


Romney no more waded into this "controversy" than he did fly on his power. He made a joke at his opponent's expense. That really is the end of it unless you're a hack or so in the tank for Obama it's ridiculous.


Speaking of "in the tank", sit down and watch this:






Was that CNN's Anderson Cooper doing his job as a journalist and taking Debbie Wasserman Schultz to task for her complete mischaracterisation of Mitt Romney's abortion stance? Yes, it was.


Abortion and the mythical "war on women" is the duct tape keeping the perforated Obama election dinghy afloat. One can bet that it will be trotted out whenever possible.



Related: Seventy percent of Obama's Twitter followers are fake (just like his composite girlfriends).



Is the planned trek to find Franklin's lost ships about archeology or politics?



Ladies and gentlemen, Stan Rogers.



With sadness, I report that the voice of The Count- Jerry Nelson- has passed away.



(With thanks)
