An excellent TV interview of William Sampson, the Canadian abandonned by his own inept and appeasing government.
“The worst that I endured … was being hung upside down and beaten across the backside, the feet, the scrotum. The pain from that is just incredible,…
How this could not affect our relationship with the House of Saud in a monumental way is simply incomprehensible.
Absolutely frightening stuff.
Some accidents make you wince at the thought.
The 34-year old worker slipped and fell just over two metres, and was impaled by a metal bar which entered his buttocks and exited through his groin.
Hey! CNN actually had an interview (albeit for a total of 3 minutes) with the author of The Epidemic: The Rot of American Culture, Absentee and Permissive Parenting, and the Resultant Plague of Joyless, Selfish Children ($US orders). It turns out that this generation of day care kids is more emotionally disturbed than any other generation, because, gasp, parents aren’t spending enough time with their kids! Specifically, mothers aren’t raising their babies anymore – the local child kennel is! Boy was Ms. Zahn turning red when she asked what working mothers can do to overcome the problem….hmmm, maybe stay home with them instead of working away from them 24 hours a day, Paula?
Drug companies and psychiatrists are doing a booming business medicating the disturbed results, who happen to be mostly older adolescents.
Meanwhile, in nanny-state Canada, the Ontario Liberals are planning on paying and registering child kennels, to further put the working Ms. at ease as she toils far away from her baby.
The contestants on Survivor have nothing on this kid.
A two-year-old left alone for nearly three weeks while her mother was behind bars survived by eating mustard, ketchup, rice and raw pasta, police said.
Attempted murder, rather than child abuse, is a more appropriate charge for this moronic mother. Sterilization should be the punishment.
Let’s hope this kid doesn’t have to associate with either parent in the future.
While the NDP cries raise the minimum wage, simpletons say “yea” while people that create wealth and jobs can only cry. Here’s the business side of the story, that the Star left out of its article.
Write an article about Ontario’s minimum wage earners and call them “wage slaves.” Discuss one side of the issue in detail and give only three small paragraphs to the other side.
Doesn’t sound like fair and responsible journalism to me.
Your article was embarrassing because of its obvious bias toward workers and employees.
Picked up this little gem about where our education system is heading … which is mainly into the crapper. It’s no wonder parents are looking for alternative schools that at least teach a few of the basics.
Teaching Math in 1950: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1960: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
Good news for those of us who see Kyoto as more self-inflicted terrorism: Russia will not ratify Kyoto now – at least not yet.
It will be hard for Russia to ratify the 1997 Kyoto Protocol on reducing greenhouse gas emissions this year,
Methinks they will be looking to extort more money from the West before they will follow through – precisely why this wealth transfer accord cannot occur for our country’s taxpayer’s sake.
Good for the Italians – after sniffing their snooty nose at us while we blacked out, they blacked out for even longer.
It was Bollino back in August who assured Italians that their country would not suffer the kind of massive blackout North America did.
“The risk in Italy is tiny,” was one of several headlines describing Bollino’s assessment last month. Back then, Bollino boasted that Italy’s network was less obsolete than the U.S. one, and that European countries had tighter protocols on assistance and interconnections with other countries’ power supplies.
Can’t wait until more of them hook up their new a/c units as the years go by and the heat goes up.
Here’s a few examples of political correctness gone mad.
Students in England will no longer “fail” national standardized tests under new guidelines issued by the government, reports the Lincolnshire Echo.
They will instead get an “N” grade for “nearly.”

Caught this cartoon in the Cox and Forkum interview on another new blogroll entry, Eye on the Left.
The blog quality index seems to be rising of late.
Now that it’s clear the the Liberals will be coming into power this week, it’s time to be weary of photo radar. A new blogroll addition, Unpersons.net, has an entry on the London experience.
In this first piece, Mr. Carr highlights the growth of a new ‘Gatso Killer’ movement: A loosely-knit group of individuals who are using the Internet to plot the bombing, burning, decapitation and dismemberment of speed cameras. It is reported that the movement’s most destructive cells are operating in the south of England and in Wales.
Mark’s explanation for his departure drew a huge response from his worldwide fan base. Reading the huge selection of email to him indicates to me that Canada needs a conservative newspaper of some sort. If that is not to be, then at least we have the internet and blogs to keep us together. For the old folks, tho, it would be good to see Mark in the Sun group of papers – a natural fit.
As much as I missed your columns, I missed hearing the reasoning. While it doesn?t bring you back, it allows me to move on. Thanks for belatedly sharing your reasoning with us.
His fan base is cult-like. He really is unlike any other Canadian columnist.
Glad to see at least one newspaper in Toronto is backing Ernie.
In the Ontario election campaign, only Premier Ernie Eves and the Tories have come close to advocating the ideas we believe in.
Both the Globe and Red Star endorsed Dalton. Good for them. Both of their reasons don’t make much sense to me.
To me the answer is simple. If you believe in tax cuts to stimulate the economy, balanced budgets, allowing the private sector more of a role in administering public institutions, and banning school strikes in our public education monopoly, then you should vote Tory.
I am afraid the people are apt to vote Liberal mostly to just install a new bunch of bums in Queen’s Park. There is something to be said about putting new people into power, if only to clear out the cob-webs. The problem is, putting new people in who brought us the billion dollar Skydome (recently sold for 10% or so its build price) is bad for our provincial debt and future taxes.
American Realpolitik dug up some interesting points to ponder, on both Iraq and the EU.
It is worth stating the obvious, so momentous is it: For the first time in almost half a century, Iraq has no executions, no political prisoners, no torture and no limits on freedom of expression.
The only good thing about this story is that hopefully Children’s Aid has been watching.
She said when travelling she was ok and ate right for herself and her unborn child. The baby is due in November.
Hopefully they will remove the baby from this barely teenaged girl and her equally immature mother.
CBC News said that they both intend to raise the baby themselves, no doubt to simply perpetuate the cycle of ignorance and poverty.
Why don’t young/poor people today ever think about giving their babies up for adoption? There are more infertile couples then ever before out there, yet they cannot get (white) infant babies. This is simply because the state enables those who cannot provide a proper home for infants.
The fact that there is no longer shame in raising a baby without a father or means is possibly equally responsible for this epidemic.
