Deserved UN Bashing

Mark continues to bash the UN.

It’s a good basic axiom that if you take a quart of ice-cream and a quart of dog faeces and mix ‘em together the result will taste more like the latter than the former. That’s the problem with the UN.

Pop pop pop

Guns and ammo everywhere this weekend – so how’s the registry helping in the investigations?

A weekend of gunfire and violence has left three people dead and five people being treated for their injuries in local hospitals.

Thought you didn’t have an answer.  Ask the Liberal MP you voted in.

Soiled diapers

I have to agree with this guy…the child care program has all the signs of being a major financial disaster for the taxpayer.

It will however quickly become another soiled diaper courtesy of Canada’s Liberal Party.

More waste

Saw this story on the news last night.

The C$280 million Canada spent building a new town for a troubled band of northern natives was of little use because the move did nothing to cut rampant substance abuse and violence, according to secret government documents.

The guilt money the government pays to natives is killing them – again.  Once the natives are handed the money, no strings, no-one knows where it goes and to what end.

Remember, it’s your money.

Pull ‘em up

This law will probably never stick, but I understand and support the intent.

Virginians who wear their pants so low their underwear shows may want to think about investing in a stronger belt.

The link is the cradle

In this article, which states the obvious about unwed parents and their chances of staying together, we have this rather lucent passage:

“What we have lost is the idea that at the heart of marriage there is a link between parents which is of value of itself. That link would then cradle the upbringing of children. Maybe we need to rediscover this link in this new world of equality,” Ms Mansfield said.

Just ask your kids what marriages means to them.  You’ll be surprised.

Bush believes in climate change

The difference is, Bush doesn’t study it, he makes it.

Bush doesn’t need to talk about climate change, because he’s doing it. He’s changing the climate at home and abroad. Social Security is the so-called third rail of American politics, but he’s seized it and right now it’s the comatose Democrats who look like they could use a jolt or two.

I’ll take the cowboy anyday

Steyn on the corrupt cesspool known as the UN.

So, after months of expressing deep concern, grave concern, deep concern over the graves and deep grave concern over whether the graves were deep enough, Kofi Annan managed to persuade the UN to set up a committee to look into what’s going on in Darfur. They’ve just reported back that it’s not genocide.

Baby Depot

Coming soon to a Wal-Mart parking lot near you.

I am (not) amazed that the thrust of the article is that profit is bad, and socialism is good.  More proof that kids are just a commodity (inconvenience) to today’s (women) parents.

“Child care is the next step. How we build it will say a lot about what we, as Canadians, feel we owe our youngest members.”

That we build them all says a lot about how we feel about today’s children.

Bold, bold, bold

Frum liked the SOTU last night.

Bold, bold, bold – bold on social security reform, bold on controlling the growth of government, bold on legal and tax reform, bold in daring to mention nuclear energy, bold on social issues including marriage, bold on judges, and bold on foreign policy and the war on terror.

Boxcar strikes back

The punishment seems a bit harsh, but he was defacing private property on private property.

On Tuesday night, Alpha marked the end of everything for young Mr. Zargham. At about 9:45 p.m., right after he tagged a parked freight car with baby-blue spray paint, he was struck dead by a train near Dupont and Christie streets.

Deserved props

A profile of the blogger who inspired this site and its design – and who has changed media for the better.

This morning, the New York Sun has a very good profile of some guy named Charles Johnson: The Blogger Who Helped to Dislodge Dan Rather.
