Mid-Week Rant

What do you do when you're caught encouraging someone break the law as you have done many times before? Well, you sue, that's what you do. Planned Parenthood, the meddling and less-than-law-abiding corporation founded by a racist, classist enema freak, is planning on suing Lila Rose, editor of a student newspaper, for having the audacity to expose their plans to flout laws designed to report the sexual abuse of minors.
I don't want to hear arguments about "women's right to choose" and all that because that tired, old rhetoric doesn't even come close to fitting here. The moron Planned Parenthood hired to lie to women and minors was doing her part in keeping the corporation running, even if it meant saving the slimy skin of a sexual predator. All for money. Planned Parenthood is now bullying this girl (and has done so with others) into hiding their conspiracy, something they are not new to. This should disgust anyone, regardless of what side of the fence one is on about this.
If I were Lila Rose, I'd take out billboard space.

What a tidy, little group of fascists these lot are. Really, it's like one step above of accusing George Bush of "stealing" an election. It's called democracy and in a country with universal suffrage it's considered fair. Who is anyone to threaten anything because something doesn't go their way? Maybe the French have absolutely had it with these thugs and think Sarkozy might turn their country around socially, as well as economically. Democracy is one of the things that make Western civilisation work. Oil props up Islamic dictatorships. I guess those protesters are right- no blood for oil. Let's find oil elsewhere or another fuel source and screw the House of Saud.

Okay, I'll talk about something else.

Did you know that May 30th is not only the feast-day of Saint Joan of Arc but also National Potato Day in Peru? In the spirit of the day, enjoy some garlic smashed potatoes.
Do it for the children!

Good for her.

Dude, the ears.

Gidohapshida.

The Postman Always Rings Twice....

...before leaving your parcel with a neighbour.

Happy Mother's Day. Enjoy the ice cream cake before it melts.

Thousands in Italy protest a "marriage" bill. It may very well be a million but the press will never admit to a thing like that. I guess Italians know a stupid idea when they see it. Couples, if you want to live together, be grown up and GET MARRIED legally. And gays, you're not a race so stuff your racism fluff.

Members of the press hoping to re-live the glories of Abu Gharib and milk the nothingness of Guantanamo will be disappointed to hear this. That's right, the West has more humanity than roving bands of fanatics whose idea of a good time is shooting women and using children as human shields. Who said the Canadian mission in Afghanistan was bad?

Girls who cry foul whenever they are cut from the team aren't helping humanity in general. Just saying.

Michael Moore- lying sack of...whatever- is at his usual tricks with his new crockumentary, "Sicko". He is under fire from the U.S. Treasury Department for taking American citizens to be treated in one of Cuba's delapidated hospitals. Cuba has come to his defence, crying censorship. Cuba has the moral authority to speak about this because they have never arrested poilitical dissidents or arrested writers or anything. Anyway, Cuba's healthcare situation is far from ideal, as you can see here and here.

Fascist Mickey and the New Low. Wow, the "religion of peace" never fails to disappoint in this area, does it?
I am so tired of people coddling these butchers, misogynists and bigots. This is what they are like. There is no perversion and there certainly isn't an excuse. Read this about pork. I mean- how do they even come to such conclusions? They are mad.

I sure hope the Pope is right about this (ah, of course he is).

Let us end this post with some ferrets.

Why Run?

If we run, then we will be Spain.

Consider the losses during the First World War, the Second World War (particularly Vimy Ridge and Dieppe), the Korean War and now. As terrible as any loss of life may be, the losses incurred recently are nowhere near the losses of the past and we were then far from running.

If we can't afford lives, then we cannot afford surrender. The Afghanis will lose the most. By allowing terrorists to threaten us and alter our foreign policy, we put ourselves at risk, anyway. Our opinions and motions on the world stage will be meaningless. Canada will be nothing, less than air and a dhimmi. I suggest we draw the line in the sand and say it doesn't even begin, let alone end, here.

Let us remember who put us there.

Like it or not, we are there. Let's do some good while we're at it. Someone in the world depends on Canada. We can't afford to let them- nor ourselves- down.

End of the Month Randomness! Everything Must Go!

To wit-

Is this Iraq? Wow! What an oasis! It's too bad Saudi-funded terrorists (militia-men if you're Michael "I'm Too Sexy for My Fat" Moore) are killing its citizens. Arabs stand by Arabs, I guess- so they can kill them better.

Iraq is a war that is fought by the media, not by bombs or guns which studies indicate are supremely beneficial for such things. What I'm trying to say is: guns don't kill people; believers of an Arab pedophile do.

I'd like to apologise for using the word "sexy" in conjunction with "Michael Moore". Nothing about that opportunistic, lying slob is in any way appealing and I apologise without reservation (something Shinzo Abe can't do- hiyoooooo!). It will never happen again.

Speaking of sexy, this might be old news if you actually still watch the should-be-defunct TV series, ER, but Goran Visnjic is leaving. Why didn't he leave before they wrote his character into the ground? All those wasted seasons! He could have appeared on a TV series as a sexy lawyer working in a sexy law firm trying sexy cases.

Okay, I'll stop saying sexy.

But one thing I won't stop doing is rocking!

Speaking of that, a good friend had the grandest generosity to send me a Patty Griffin CD. If you haven't had your Patty Griffin fix, get it.

By request, a comment on the pet poisonings. I am not wholly familiar with the cases but reports have it that food made from contaminated grain from China sickened or killed family pets. China has apologised for something it claims it is not responsible for. What? This is too much! Like China hasn't done something to maim or otherwise screw with the rest of the world (SARS, Tibet, its own people, Falun Gong, North Korea). Why have anything to do with China at all?

Why hasn't this and this incurred the wrath of PETA? Oh yeah- special interest groups, lawsuits and all that. A rock, a hard place and completely screwed.

If you haven't bought a copy of Mark Steyn's America Alone, do so. I ordered it because I knew I wouldn't get it at Indigo's or Chapter's. Apparently, this best-seller is just not popular, which is why it is a best seller. Anyway, I started reading it and I'm already in the middle.

And now for a surprise.

Weekly Randomness

Yes, it's time for more weekly randomness.

The Estonian government plans to move a statue dedicated to Soviet war dead to a park outside of the capital Talinn. This quote from Polish think-tank crystalises, at least for me, the horrid victim culture Russia has immersed itself in order to never acknowledge and ultimately make amends for its many, many wrong-doings of the past:

Russia has never come to terms with its history. Russians continue to see
themselves only as victims of World War II, he said, and ignore the dictatorial
systems they imposed on the countries they liberated from the Germans.

Yes, Russia, the perennial victim. Pogroms, the gulags, the Ukrainian famine, the Katyn forest massacre, the Second World War, Dieppe (this poorly thought out and executed plan was brought on by the former Soviet Union's threats to make peace with the Germans), the Korean War, the Hungarian revolution, Prague Spring, the attempted assassination of John Paul II (it wasn't enough that they took over Poland; they had to squash its liberator, too), Alexander Litivenko, the recent protests against the authoritarian Putin. Yes, Russia is quite the victim- a victim of its own making. The West has put up with its denial and deflection even the Russian people and their erstwhile victims are tired of it.

Is the EU going to allow this and this from a prospective member? I should hope not.

Pope Benedict has revised the teaching on Limbo. Limbo was the place where unbaptised babies waited before going to Heaven. I've never felt it was a punishment but something that confirmed baptism as the thing that we needed for salvation. I never felt anyone was being punished but without that necessary step they could not advance until it was time. Just me.

Earth Day- crock or something that just happens to fall on my mum's birthday? YOU be the judge.

Mark Steyn is the hammer to society's nail.

Aw, damn.

And, finally, no one ever says Italy.

Spring in Korea

It has been spring for a while with some lovely results. See here.

My particular favourites are the magnolias.

What Else...?

Do we need any more reasons why North Korea and its backer, China, are evil?

There should be no quarter given to China or Russia, the very countries that have conspired to keep Korea separate since its liberation. Hold them responsible for allowing everything that has gone on up until this point. I'm sure the survivors of the North Korean regime will take care of Kim Il-Sung's fat progeny themselves (Satan has a good grasp of Il-Sung's love handles as we speak).
As for the South Koreans' morally lazy government, well... can one teach empathy?

No Freaking Kidding

The average Canadian family spends more on taxes for subpar services we lord over the Americans than anything else.

That's the land of socialist bliss for you.

VT

I didn't want to post something here because I don't want to milk a hot story (because, really, that's all it is until there is another shooting or something to do with Anna Nicole Smith). I will make a few points.

Gun control wouldn't have stopped this, prevented this, or made it less of a tragedy. People who want to kill will find a way and not everyone who owns a gun is a psychopath.

Candlelight vigils don't ever help and are complete waste of wax.

South Korea, no one will look at you if you don't draw attention to yourselves. Stop being so self-conscious.

Fare

Good.

I think I've said what I need to say on this subject.

Randomness in Space!

It's like "Pigs in Space" but with more stuff.

First thing on the agenda: stupidity.

Hijab-gate. We've had the Herouxville debacle, Daddy's little soccer pawn, a woman so desperate to be shanked that she would fight to keep her hijab in a prisoner's reach, "reveal yourself or not vote" (sidebar to this article: it's always about THEM. Poor, little victims. Or poor, little attention-getters. Or people trying to deflect public anger at their stupidity and selfishness) and now a taekwondo team unable to spar because the hijab is more important than displaying martial arts prowess. The special interest groups are right. This shouldn't be an issue. In Canada, one is either a Canadian and willing to conform to its laws and customs or someone with an airplane ticket en route out of Canada. Safety is another concern, especially where the workplace has dangerous and resourceful offenders. The employers and team coaches should have brought up the issues of rules and safety instead of being cowards afraid of losing their jobs or being tarred by the likes of CAIR or some other terrorist- I mean- special interest group. I personally think the girls and ladies should be glad they are in a country where they are allowed to be educated, have jobs and drive themselves to work. Perhaps they would like to go to Saudi Arabia?

Hi, Don Imus. Bye, Don Imus.

To be fair, though, if he gets fired, take out rappers, too. I don't see why their gutter-speak is better than Imus'.

If you want a reason why you shouldn't support the Green Party (other than they are not a real party) look no further than this. I realise there is an element of this kind of thing in Canada and those people will ultimately be ashamed as soon as it is revealed that they are craven cowards with no sense of self and the world around them. That, and the friends and relatives will probably give them such a beating. (For the legal purposes, I am not advocating anything.)

I don't trust these people to be brought on by principle. They probably didn't read this book and now are too embarrassed to go back on it, hence, "the stand". That's why we always read the books before let our students read them. I mean, they could have been celebrating Christmas in that book!

An "Oh my God" moment.

Second thing on the agenda, North Korea. They have, again, failed to comply with orders preventing them from destroying the Korean Peninsula.

If this is true then what does it say when the Japanese, once enemies of the Koreans, care more for the plight of the North Koreans than their cousins to the south do? This is not to denigrate the efforts of some South Korean interest groups who face uphill slogs in their efforts to help the North Koreans but their government sure sucks.

Somebody had better remember the Holocaust because the Iranians won't. (Well, maybe not all of them).

I'm not sure this is entirely true but considering who they are, it probably is.

Does Hollywood disgust you yet?

I close with a sight so shocking, so horrifying, it will make you shudder- a dog begging for his breakfast.

Easter Eggs

These are some rather nice Easter eggs I saw somewhere. I do like the imagery- the deer, the fish, even the swirls and dots. There is a purpose behind the act of decorating eggs, traditionally a symbol of Easter. The eggs themselves become canvasses for some kind of expression.

Easter Post

To one and all, a happy Easter.

I had a rather nice time on Sunday. I had breakfast with some friends. We chatted, reminded ourselves why The Simpsons (earlier episodes) were funny and ate some really nice pancakes and omelets (mmm....omelets...)

And let's not forget the candy.....

Spring has sprung here in Korea. I do like it when the magnolias come into bloom. They are very beautiful flowers and very fragrant (just like the camelias in Jeju). The weather here is getting warmer but it is still quite cool. It must be enjoyed now because come June and July the heat will be oppressive. Have you ever had to peel clothes off of you before you put them on? Come here and experience that for yourself.

Speaking of Korea, the North Koreans will let inspectors in to see their Russo-Iranian-made reactors when the funds are released.

I don't think so.

Angelina Jolie has added another orphan to her United Colors of Benneton gaggle.

See the skyline in Washington, DC.

Until something annoys or strikes me, Peace of Christ and peace-out.

Calvary

...all the world is hungry and cannot be filled...

Hear, hear!

This columnist has it right.

People will mock what they don't understand and count on those never to hold it against them. Their courage is incredibly lacking when they should take a stand against something everyone should abhor.

Turn the other cheek indeed.

Turning a Blind Eye Yet Again

When is the West going to care about this?

Never?

I thought so.

Set your faces like flint. Nobody said it would be easy for us.

A Bad Start to Holy Week

Chocolate Jesus.

There are at least two things wrong with this. Not only did this "chocolatier" insult Christ, the Savior of us all, but he used sweet, sweet chocolate to do it. See you in hell, candy-boy.

I have actually seen a photo of this. You can see a picture of this because it's not a cartoon of Mohammed, whom we are never to see if we value our standing consulates, churches, places of business or nuns.

Oh, by the way....

The "artist" is apparently worried about a Catholic "fatwa", whatever that means. If Bill Donahue, the bulldog of the Catholic rights movement, is considered fatwa, then he should consider himself "fatwa-ed".

Why is This a Discussion?

Muslims wishing to vote in the Quebec election must show their faces.

Why is this a discussion? When I was called to vote, I had to be registered, show up at such-and-such a polling station between certain hours with some form of identification and something with my permanent address on it. I had to be checked off before I could vote. After that, my hand was stamped and I had to leave the premises.

People have to be told that unidentifiable and unregistered residents cannot vote? How much stupidity does Canada have to display at any given moment? At least officials (and only, I believe, due to other residents threatening to come in with other kinds of masks, ect.) realised their gross would-be error and corrected it.

Gear up, Quebec, you dying province, you. This isn't the first fight you'll have on your hands and it certainly won't be the last of "burn, baby, burn" you'll hear.

The Lowest of the Low

If you need more proof of the kind of scum that should be blown out of their socks, look no further than this.

What is wrong with these people? I swear there must be a ring in hell just for them.

From the Depths of Randomness Comes More Randomness!

From my current backyard....

Disney's next production could be "The Lion Kim". (It's all alleged, apparently.)

A sample of lunacy from the last Stalinist state in the world. Horrifying, really. What is more horrifying- and mind-boggling- is that their cousins in the south would use them as slave labour. You stand by your family, I suppose.

Number 3 in al-Qaeda's consortium of complete lunacy has confessed to whole number of things, including planning the September 11th attacks. I guess those lamb dinners really paid off in Guantanamo.

An example of how some people should never be teachers simply because they have no freaking idea what they are talking about. I'm sure this "educator" was quick to mention how people are really treated in Muslim countries. Perhaps not. Stoning women to death, rape, jailing of journalists and other acts of extremist terror are not things one brings up in polite society, but it's all justified.

Now for something completely different....

For those of you who haven't, see The Queen. It is one of those movies that, though extremely well-done, will make you leave the theatre in disgust because the whole idea of "emotionally retarded" people leading a country because they think it is God's Will and the people who allow it is repulsive to the intellect. That, and Helen Mirren rocks!

This Saturday is Saint Patrick's Day. Everybody loves Saint Patrick's Day!

I leave you now with hedgehogs massaging a cat.
