ACLU Sues Over Jesus' Picture

2006-06-30T14:23:00.000-06:00

Astonishing story here.

No wonder we conservative folks call the ACLU the "Anti-Christian Lawyers' Union".

How on earth would they suddenly find a portrait of Jesus, which has hung on the wall of Bridgeport High School for three decades, while saying nothing at all about mandatory teaching of students to "be Muslims" at another school?

The ACLU clearly discriminates against Christians!

They do it all the time. I recommend banning them as a hate-propaganda organization. They should be shut down as if they were, say, a racist, terrorist or organized crime organization. Too bad that's easier said than done. Thanks, in part, to the lawyers of the ACLU.

Clearly, the left is hellbent on stomping all over both Judaism and Christianity while promoting Islam. What's wrong with these people? Do they have a death wish or something? Like jihadists do? What's up with the affinity of the left towards Islam and jihad? Are they brainwashed or just brainless?

Mohammad Shoves Lightbulb Up Butt

Story here. h/t: NealeNews.com

Heh... a Muslim serving four years for making alcohol... caught with a bizarre object up his ass? Claims he just "woke up" with it there? Sure. Suuuure.

Heh... many Muslims are just like everyone else... they do dumb things to themselves and make up equally dumb stories to cover the little misfortune...

Heh!

But... a lightbulb?! WTF was he thinking?! It could've broken up there! OUCH!

He better hope the clerics don't hear about what he did!

Is This Fair?

2006-06-28T15:52:00.000-06:00

Here we have, on the one hand, a female teacher who went to jail for fooling around with her male teen student.

And here, on the other hand, we have a female teacher who avoided going to jail after being convicted of statutory rape of a female teen student.

Why the difference? Is homosexual statutory rape somehow less-criminal than heterosexual statutory rape?

I would recommend keeping an eye on the sentencing of adults who are found guilty of having sex with underage kids. Note the differences as we've seen in the above cases and draw your own conclusions over time.

What do you think? Are certain kinds of offenders getting off relatively scot-free relative to others?

First Kitty Gets Tossed ... And Adopted

2006-06-16T21:25:00.000-06:00

"There are cameras everywhere, people walking by and peeking through the glass…and living in the house with nine other cats is really getting on my nerves! I have no privacy, no free time…sometimes a cat just needs to be by herself."

So Belle (kitty in photo) got her wish and was booted from the show Big Brother for Kitties . Belle was up against some pretty stiff competition, as you can see from the profiles posted on the Meow Mix website which are sponsoring the reality TV series (see story below "Kitties Face Stiff Competition").

Who I am rooting for??? It's a toss up between Zen and Jo.

Kitties Face Stiff Competition in New Reality Show

2006-06-14T14:04:00.000-06:00

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Ten cats in search of owners will spend the next 10 days in a New York store window, their every move caught on camera for a reality TV show on which they will compete for best sleeper and mouse-catcher.

The show is the creation of a petfood company and will be shown on cable channel Animal Planet, as well as on the Web site www.MeowMixHouse.com where viewers will be asked to vote off one feline contestant each day.

The cats, chosen from shelters around the country, will compete for loudest purr, most prolific sleeper and who can catch the most toy mice. Kitties who get the boot will be adopted into permanent homes.

Meow Mix, owned by Del Monte Foods Company, hopes the show will promote cat adoption -- as well as their products, which will be the only thing on the menu.

Passerby taking a gander though a specially rented storefront on Madison Avenue in midtown Manhattan can watch the cats lazing about a luxuriously outfitted cat-sized house that includes scaled-down sofas, beds, a fish tank (with fake fish), kitchen and a porch, all put together by an interior designer.

"It's a Disney World for cats," said Meow Mix's Ryan Reed, in charge of ensuring the cats are well-cared for and well-behaved. Volunteers from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are also on hand to attend to the needs of the kitty stars.

Enjoying their final day of obscurity on Monday, the cats seemed unfazed by attention from visiting media -- most of the cats were asleep on the set, which will be unveiled to the public on Tuesday.

A cat named Sam, from Dallas, Texas, stood guard on the home's welcome mat while Romeo, a Los Angeles native, lazily stretched out his six-toed paws before swatting a toy.

In the tradition of reality shows, the company will hire the top cat as "Feline Vice President of Research and Development," responsible for taste testing and product feedback.

Biographies of the cats play up their personalities, but in reality, they're all pretty mellow, if not a bit dazed from all the attention.

"In real life they're all very sweet," said Meow Mix's Keith Fernbach. "But we try to give them a personality for TV."

The More Things Change ... The More They Stay The Same

2006-06-01T12:55:00.000-06:00

Well it's heartwarming to see that although some things have changed, most in the Liberal Party haven't.

This article should give all Liberal members a warm fuzzy feeling .... in the bottom of their underpants!

Pat Robertson Leg-Presses a Ton?

2006-05-27T12:28:00.000-06:00

Story here.

Well, perhaps he did. Perhaps it was a partial rep; it doesn't say in the article. And that must've been some leg press machine, with ultracapacity for holding so many massive steel disks. That's something I'd have paid to witness. An old dude pressing a ton! Who'da thunk Pat Robertson was a longtime powerlifter? But what's the deal with his scrawny forearms?! Mine look like bowling-pins: narrow at the wrist and like old oak branches towards the elbow.

Nevertheless, I've found the leg press to be my favorite amongst calf-building movements.

In fact, I've gone up to 700 pounds for full-motion-range, slow, controlled reps reaching twelvish. I'm a bit of a genetic freak when it comes to calf strength, in fact. It's my calves that surpassed everyone else in the gym for sheer power, including the most massively built guys who actually have competed. Oh, and my quads are positively Tom Platz-like in growth tendency (which is why I need do nothing for my freaking quads), though not renowned for excessive strength.

Oh, and here's a pic of Tom Platz, so you can get an idea of his leg size... and what mine would look like by now if I'd continued to work on my quads...

Below: Tom Platz. Cick here for bio and more freaky pics of the guy best known for quad mass...

By the way, please note that this isn't Aizlynne doing this post (really, would Aizlynne likely have a super-masculine, herculean physique the likes of which I herein speak?)... it's me, the Canadian Sentinel, who used to actually envision himself as the next Arnold, conquering the Olympian posing stage and going on to action flicks, blowing away them cursed jihadist bastards...

I did not make this up.

And, though I trained like a complete feckheaded nut between 1984 and 2001 (on and off from 1995, and not at all since 2001), I have unfortunately allowed myself to go a bit to pot... but the underlying mass never left me (thanks to my obsession with consuming adequate protein each and every day). It won't take me long to get back into the best shape of my life... just go back to the gym and cut up by, say, twenty-thirty pounds... (I mean, at 5'7, 200 pounds is a tad too fat, as I don't exactly possess the brobdingnagian mass of someone like that Platz fellow above left).

Well, many thanks be to Aizlynne for the opportunity to talk to a good number of folks about something I like that doesn't have to do with thumping leftists and ripping jihadists a new one...

Whew... I feel like I just wrote an article for FLEX magazine!

Harsh Immigration Laws

2006-05-17T10:03:00.000-06:00

Immigration laws for this country are pretty strict when you compare it to the USA and Canada.

For example:

1. If you migrate to this county, you must speak the native language.

2. You have to be a professional or an investor. No unskilled workers allowed.

3. There are no special bilingual programs in schools and no special ballots for elections. All government business is conducted in the native language.

4. Foreigners do not have the right to vote no matter how long they are here.

5. Foreigners cannot hold political office.

6. Foreigners will not be a burden to taxpayers. No welfare, food stamps, health care, or other government assistance programs.

7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount equal to 40,000
times the daily minimum wage.

8. If foreigners want to buy land, restrictions are placed on what they can purchase. For example, you cannot own waterfront property. That is reserved for citizens naturally born in this country.

9. Foreigners cannot protest; demonstrate, wave a foreign flag, organize politically, or bad-mouth the President or his policies. You are subject to immediate deportation if found doing any one of these things.

10. If you come to this country illegally, you will be hunted down and sent straight to jail, without benefit of legal counsel.

Harsh policy no doubt. Would it surprise you to find out that these are the policies of Mexico?

Moonbats take note ... not all Republics are as generous as the USA in it's immigration policies - so shut the hell up about the US trying to enforce border issues and deal with illegal immigration. Maybe you would like to live in Mexico instead?

The Worst Of Hockey Fans

2006-05-15T10:12:00.000-06:00

Once again, San Jose "fans" (and I use that word in the loosest of terms when it comes to San Jose) showed their class by booing the national athem of Canada.

Of course, most haven't a clue about hockey to start with and only get on the bandwagon when the Sharks get into the playoffs.

Things obviously haven't changed much in San Jose. I recall during the 2004 series loss against the Flames, they booed the national anthem then as well. Of course, this was after they had to give out free tickets in order to fill up the stadium.

As this article points out, a good majority of their key players are in fact Canadian, and probably don't appreciate their "fans" booing their flag, especially when they play so hard for them (Johnathon Cheechoo comes to mind).

So this morning a big slap across the head goes to all the San Jose idiots who think it's fun to show their disrespect to the opposition. It's just a game folks! Lighten up would ya!

The City That Wasn't

2006-05-12T09:16:00.000-06:00

What you see isn't necessarily what you get.

Thousands of tourists and local residents witnessed a mirage of high clarity lasting for four hours off the shore of Penglai City in east China's Shandong Province on Sunday.

Mists rising on the shore created an image of a city, with modern high-rise buildings, broad city streets and bustling cars as well as crowds of people all clearly visible.

The city of Penglai had been soaked by two days of rain before the rare weather phenomenon occurred.

The mirage took place during the week-long Labor Day holiday. The small city received over 30,000 tourists on Sunday.

Experts said that many mirages have been recorded in Penglai, on the tip of Shandong Peninsula, throughout history, which made it known as a dwelling place of the gods.

They explained that a mirage is formed when moisture in the air becomes warmer than the temperature of sea water, which refracts rays of sunlight to create reflections of the landscape in the sky.

Now THAT'S More Like It

2006-05-10T10:56:00.000-06:00

I am happy to see Harper finally getting his feet stable. His start out of the gate was pretty bad, but it looks like things may be turning around.

This story reflects exactly the kind of changes that many many Albertan's were looking for. I saw Harper with his son on the TV while watching the Senator's game the other night. I was very pleased to see that he paid for his own tickets, instead of getting some freebies from lobbyists or those who would like to influence him.

And quite frankly, I would rather see $1,000 go to reducing our tax burden then furnishing the NAC with good optics by having "those of influence" being sent on the taxpayer dollar. Interesting how many bow out now that THEY have to pay their own way!

All I can say is YEAH ... and LONG OVERDUE!

Now THAT is more like it!!

Polar Bears Make The List -- And So Do Hippos!

2006-05-08T08:28:00.000-06:00

It is not the kind of list that should make humans proud. In fact, we should be hanging our heads in shame.

What list is this? It's the extinction list, which now includes polar bears and hippos.

This article is a must read for everyone. The article also discusses other mammals, fish and plant life that are on the edge, the critical list, or new entries such as the polar bear and hippopotamus.

But it's not all bad news. There have been some successes in restoration of certain species, although the list is definitely growing, and not shrinking.

Sissy Jihadist Training Video

Notice how he throws his grenade. Who taught him, one of the "Queer Eye" guys?

See his shoes. Nay; they look like slip-ons with white rubber soles...

Observe how lazily he moves. What is he, eighty years old?!

I would name that sissy jihadist "Tinky Al-Winky". In fact, he actually walks like Tinky Winky! Where's his purse? Perhaps another terrorist is kindly holding it for him?

Weird and Wacky World

2006-04-20T09:11:00.000-06:00

Ah! What a weird and wonderful world we live in:

A hamster named Gohan, right, and snake Aochan live togther in a cardboard box at Mutsugoro Okoku zoo, outskirts of Tokyo. Gohan and Aochan make strange bedfellows: one's a 9 centimeter dwarf hamster; the other is a 120 centimeter-long (yard-long) ratsnake. Zookeepers at Tokyo's Mutsugoro Okoku zoo presented the hamster - whose name means "meal" in Japanese - to Aochan as a tasty morsel in October, after the snake refused to eat frozen mice. But instead of indulging, Aochan decided to make friends with the furry rodent, according to keeper Kazuya Yamamoto. The pair have shared a cage since. (01/18/06 AP photo)

A Varig airlines cargo plane from Brazil sits parked at the Mexico City airport with its nose up in the air after the cargo was unevenly distributed. Brazil's troubled flagship airline, Varig, is reeling under an estimated US$3.3 billion (euro2.7 billion) in debt and is currently in the restructuring phase of bankruptcy proceedings and, last April 12, some 300 Varig employees boarded a chartered jet to Brasilia, the nation's capital, to call on the federal government to bail out the company, which employs 11,000 people.

Willy's mate Ruby died last summer of cancer and within a week the hog turned to the antelope for companionship. (02/24/06 AP photo)

BRUSSELS, Belgium -- In this photo released by the Czech artist David Cerny, his sculpture of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein is shown on display. The sculpture, which depicts a tied-up Saddam Hussein floating in a water tank, was banned by the mayor of a western Belgian town because it was deemed too controversial, an official said. The sculpture was to be displayed in the coastal town of Middelkerke during the Beaufort 2006 arts festival starting April 1. (02/07/06 AP photo)

2006-04-12T09:23:00.000-06:00

With the PC leadership race pretty well underway, one of the most noticeable things lacking from potential leader's platform (except Ted Morton, who most figure is a longshot to Dinning) are changes to our electoral format.

What bothers me more is that a socialist province like Manitoba is prepared to enact law disallowing MLA's to cross the floor without first resigning and holding a by-election, or sitting as an indepedent.

Another socialist province, BC, has already enacted laws allowing recall, as well as fixed term limits for Premiers. So why is Alberta so behind the times? Those calling themselves part of the "Progressive Conservative" movement, have obviously lost sight of the meaning of the word "progressive".

Take a look at Jim Dinning's site. You know, for a guy who has been running for the Premier's post for the past 5 years, you would think he could come up with SOME policy. If you find any here, let me know.

Mark Norris is working on policy, according to his website anyway. Better hurry up Mark - you only have about 9 months!

Lyle Oberg has "values and vision" -but no policy. Perhaps highway billboard advertising Lyle?

Ted Morton has more than just a vision for Alberta, he also has a policy and plan called the Alberta Agenda. Of course, Ted is a real policy wonk so we can expect to get exceptional policy reform from Ted. Only problem? Ted won't win - especially if you add Preston Manning into the mix. I hope his exit strategy includes considering coming over to the Alberta Alliance where he belongs! After all, the Alberta Alliance is the only party utilizing his Alberta Agenda as part of it's policy platform.

Ed Stelmach doesn't have a website that can be found so I haven't a clue what his policy iniatives are. If you find one, let me know and I will post it.

So there you are ...... your choices (so far) for Alberta Premier.

Ralph's 3rd Way Is His Going A-Way

The only one surprised by Friday's delegate vote was Ralphie, along with a few of his ministers who now have to start brown nosing someone else in order to save their post.

Ralph, why so surprised? Thought you were still Teflon Don? Didn't the last election, where you lost 200,000 votes over the previous election, give you an inkling that your time was not just coming due ... but was overdue? Obviously not.

Let's see - rudderless, without an agenda, a plan of any kind, tossing books at young ladies whose only sin was standing next to you .... what did you think the outcome would be? Yes, I know, a passing grade you received, but a -C is the best you can muster up?

What could be the real reason for your long stay Ralph? No one approached you with a lucrative job posting yet?? Kinda sucks eh ... considering you have spent the better part of the last 6 years catering to insurance and oil & gas companies. Surely SOMEONE will give you a job Ralph!

In the meantime, why don't you send me your resume and I will see what I can do to update it for you. I'll tell ya, mine's a killer - gets me in the door every time. I am sure I can do the same for yours.

I will also go one better Ralph and allow you to use Exposed as a drop off site for job postings that may come this way!

ATTENTION ALL BLOGSPHERE-ITES: If you, or someone you know has a job opening that you think will suit Ralph's skills, please let me know and I will make sure he receives the offer.

Icelandians are leading the way in tapping new energy sources by boring holes into active volcano's. The potential is there to possibly unharness as much as 10 times the geothermal power.

Did you know that over 90% of homes in Iceland are heated by geothermal energy?

Additionally, the Icelandians use the steam from these active fissures to produce electricity (from steam at around 240C, extracted from boreholes between 600 and 1,000m deep).

It is hoped the endeavour will also reveal more about the nature of mid-ocean ridges where new ocean floor is created.

Tom Cruise Halts South Park ... Bad Idea Tom

2006-03-23T12:49:00.000-07:00

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Actor Tom Cruise threatened to boycott promotion of his upcoming Paramount Pictures film unless a sister cable TV network pulled a "South Park" rerun lampooning the Church of Scientology, industry sources said on Friday.

Instead of the Tom Cruise episode, the network aired reruns of two "South Park" episodes featuring the character Chef, voiced by veteran soul singer Isaac Hayes, also a Scientologist, who quit the show earlier this week.

In light of these transgressions, Exposed is providing the link to anyone who wishes to watch the episode, Trapped in the Closet. If you are a fan of South Park, I think you will enjoy it very much.

You can watch the South Park episode here. Hail Xenu!!

Hey Steve - Control Was A Spy Agency

2006-03-20T13:39:00.000-07:00

Anyone who has had a control freak for a boss (better known as micromanagers), knows that life with these guys is about as exciting as getting dental work done.

You know the type ... always scrutinizing every detail of your work, telling you it's done THIS way and ONLY this way, won't let you make any decisions on your own, makes so many changes to your report, that he may as well have written it himself.

Didn't they drive you absolutely insane? Of course. And I am sure that is exactly what Stephen Harper is doing to his staff ... driving them insane.

As somone who has been managing people for almost 20 years, I can tell you that micromanaging is the best way to get the least amount from your employees. Why? Because most will be prone not to do anything unless told to - considering the boss is making all the decisions anyway.

It's demoralizing to employees at any level, and in private enterprise, these same managers have revolving doors when it comes to employee retention.

From my perspective, Mr. Harper would serve himself well to foster the talents his group possesses, in a more positive way, in order to get the best from them.

It isn't that you don't look over your employees work, especially on extremely important and sensitive matters, but you let them do the job that was given to them, instead of spending half your day reading letters they want to send to editors.

As Prime Minister, you have more important things to do then micromanage your staff - hand picked by you no less. So lighten up a bit Steve ... will ya.

Hypocrisy Thy Name Is Issac

2006-03-15T09:42:00.000-07:00

Looks like the sexed up Chef, Issac Hayes, of South Park fame has quit, stating he is upset because the show insults religious ideologies and he has had enough.

I supsect it has something to do with an episode entitled, Trapped in the Closet, which takes on Issac's religion, Scientology, and shows Tom Cruise in a closet (Stan's), along with John Travolta as they try to convince a jewish kid to become a scientologist.

What makes Mr. Hayes insincere is that he didn't appear to have a problem with South Park when they lampooned gays, jewish people, fat people, sex with animals, transgender profiling, catholics, goth kids, stoners, hippies, Hitler, Nambla, Michael Jackson, Barbara Streisand, God, Satan, handicap people .... well - you get the idea. Twas only when they took on scientology did Mr. Issac protest. Prior to this episode, he was more than happy to be receiving a paycheque from Matt Stone & Trey Parker, South Park creators.

Hey Issac -- with your music career in the "has been" category, you should have kept the only source of pay you have (outside of music residuals).

Chef's character was funny .... but somehow I suspect that the "kids" will end up with an equally good cafeteria chef starting next season.

Atlantic Canadian Amalgamation: One United Province?

2006-03-08T08:00:00.000-07:00

(Also posted on The Canadian Sentinel)

Should the Atlantic provinces of Canada amalgamate someday into one single province?

Why or why not? I'd like to know what people think of this concept.

I believe it would help the region become self-sufficient and prosperous.

It doesn't make sense to have so many separate provincial administrations for such a relatively small geographical area with such a relatively small population. Excessive bureaucracy, red tape and so many unnecessarily wasted tax dollars are clearly serious hindrances to Atlantic growth and prosperity. The reasonable person would have a difficult time arguing the opposite.

The potential advantages are plentiful, I believe. I don't see any disadvantages stemming from amalgamation which would change my mind as to the logic and benefits of such an undertaking. Besides, coming together can be more easily sold to the people than can separation. After all, the Canadian Confederation amalgamated provinces under one federal umbrella. The difference here would be to maintain one level of government rather than add another level. We just don't need so many competing, separate provincial governments on the same level which only serve to slow and weigh down a region already excessively awash in government and bureaucracy, losing billions of dollars a year just to keep some people sitting at desks clicking mice... when the money could instead be circulating freely throughout the Atlantic ecomony via the people and businesses and being used to develop and maintain critical infrastructure and basic services.

That is the way to growth and prosperity. We must look boldly to the future, not try to live in the past. We must be visionary, not revisionist.

We cannot just hope Ottawa will be our savior. That never happened anyway. We must now look into the mirror and ask ourselves the hard questions and proceed to have serious discussions about the future of the Atlantic Coast.

The comments are, as always, open. Come on, let's get talking!

Harper Gives The One Two to Shapiro

No complaints about tubing this guy this guy Stephen. For someone with lot's of intellect, Shapiro certainly appeared to lack having any common sense!

Perhaps Harper can find an actual independent who isn't beholdin to any party?? I know .... it's a stretch for most of these politicians.

But in my opinion, that's when you will truly have an ethics comissioner with some actual teeth.

Do you agree/disagree that this is a good move on Harper's part?

CTF 8th Annual Teddies

2006-03-03T10:34:00.000-07:00

Our good friends at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation recently held their annual Teddy Awards, which are given to "a government, public office holder, civil servant, department or agency that most exemplifies government waste, overspending, over-taxation, excessive regulation, lack of accountability, or any combination of the five."

The Teddies are named for Ted Weatherill, a former senior public servant, who was terminated in 1999 for “expenses incurred by him … incompatible with his position as Chairman of the Canada Labour Relations Board,” according to the Office of the Minister of Labour.

Here are a few category winners.

Provincial Award Winner:

Goes to the Manitoba government for their taxpayer-funded tummy-tucks. Regrettably for taxpayers, as many Manitobans languish on wait lists for a variety of medically necessary procedures, the government sees nothing wrong with trimming tummies at public expense.

Municipal Award Winner:

Goes goes to the City of Richmond. “If they handed out medals for wasting tax dollars, Richmond’s city council would sweep the podium.”

Lifetime Achievement Teddy — David Dingwall:

The Academy of Taxers and Spenders is pleased to present its Lifetime Achievement Teddy to David Dingwall. Mr. Dingwall has relied on a steady dose of tax dollars for most of his career. His constituents elected him three more times but finally sent him packing in 1997. “But that only whet his appetite for taxpayers’ money even more,” .

Records show that in 2004, Mr. Dingwall and his top associates racked up $846,464 in expenses for wining and dining, traveling the globe, limousines rides, and country club memberships. Some of the gems included:

$133,037 in foreign and domestic travel
$14,487 in foreign and domestic dining (which included a Mint-staff dinner at a swanky Ottawa restaurant that cost $5,693)
$5,297 for golf membership fees
$5,998 for leased vehicles (including limousine services) despite having a car available for use from the Royal Canadian Mint

The whole article is definitely worth checking out as many of the nominees are worthy of the title as well... including our own Mayor - Dave Bronconnier.

A Sad Day for Exposed

2006-03-02T10:35:00.000-07:00

I was just a little lass of 6 when the cutest boy I ever saw came across the movie screen. That was it! I was in love, and was determined to remain so until I was old enough to marry him.

Of course, it wasn't just me who was madly in love with Jack and this fantasy ... just about every little girl who saw Jack on the screen was!

Sadly, my dream, along with millions of little girls' dreams came to an end with the death of Jack Wild.

My first memory of this cutiepie was when he starred in Oliver. So cute he was that I ended up seeing the movie 3 times before my brothers and sisters wouldn't take me anymore!!

So imagine my delight to find him on TV 2 years later on HR Pufnstuf. Known as a psychedelically strange show, it made many references to the reefer culture, which was predominent in the early 70's. At my age, of course, the inuendos went right over my head, thankfully.

As I grew older and Pufnstuf went off the air, I lost track of Jack and his career, which was never as successful in adulthood as it was in childhood (unfortunately a truth for many child actors).

Luckily, I found a copy of HR Pufnstuf at the Blockbuster last year for a steal ... only $0.99 ... so I can always go back down memory lane anytime I choose.

But today is indeed a sad day for this little girl -- and many other little girls who have lost their "first love".

I think a watching of HR is in order today! God's speed Jack.

Ralph's Way .... Only A Week Behind the Mailman

2006-03-01T11:29:00.000-07:00

Anyone who read my blog last week knows that I "exposed" King Ralph's allowance of private medical insurance -- even though he hadn't admitted it at the time.

In fact, we gave you a brief list of the 125 services which will become deregulated and allowed to be performed by private doctors who can bed hop into the public service and cherry-pick choice patients to work on whilst those sicker and more costly patients will be left to fend in the public system. This is bad medicine.

Seems also that Ralph is rewarding the insurance companies who took a hit on auto by allowing private insurance. Think I'm being too cynical?

Now don't get me wrong, I believe that people should have a choice where their money is spent, even if it is on your health, but allowing doctors to jump from private to public is wrong, wrong, wrong.

So is having to purchase insurance for health services. This almost ensures inferior treatment to pensioners, the monetarily challenged, or those with serious illness who only qualify after 2 years of suffering.

For the next 30 days you can provide your input to the government here (follow link on right hand side to submit your comments).

Personally, I think it's an exercise in futility, considering insurers are already rolling out their plans ... so regardless of your input, the PC's will go ahead with this plan.

Of course, Ralph didn't really lie -- he did say he would get public input ... he just never said that he wouldn't bother listening to any of it.

Saddam Ends Bluff (Deja Vu!), Eats, Returns to Court

2006-02-27T20:57:00.000-07:00

Story from CBC (yeah, I know, but they provided this pic for a funny caption).

According to the CBC, dethroned Iraqi butcher-dictator-bluffmaster Saddam Hussein has resumed eating again, having failed to impress anyone with his ludicrous "hunger strike" in protest of his trial (really... shouldn't he be smugly pleased that he gets one whereas he never let anyone under his iron fist have one?)... due to health reasons. Eh? Health reasons? Isn't that irrelevant, since there's not much point in worrying about one's health if one's about to be hanged anyway?

"Er... your honor... I have removed a booger from my nose... may I please have a tissue? An' I gotta go peepee, too!"

Ah... now we know how he survived his "hunger strike". He had something to eat and drink the whole time! The cunning creep!

www.deeyah.com

Yes, Deeyah is a lovely Muslim woman... who doesn't ever wear a burqha. Think of her as the Christina Aughilera of Islam. She's making waves, definitely.

Come see my post at TCS. More beautiful pics, a link to her latest, most provocative video ever, asserting equality for Muslim women and declaring Muslims have the right to freedom of expression. And rejecting the hated burqha!

My post really hits bloody hard at Islamotyranny and the fascist oppression of those like Bin Laden and Iran's Ahmadinejad. I really give 'em hell while praising the regular Muslim people of the Free World, our friends, for standing up for their liberties. This is what the Islamotyrants fear most: liberty. Hence I join Deeyah in standing up for liberty and equality for all, including Muslims, particularly the women.

Let's offer our full encouragement to Deeya!

She's a true warrior in the battle for liberty, democracy and equality. You go, Deeyah! You're the true freedom fighter!

Ralph's Way Still Underway

2006-02-23T11:22:00.000-07:00

Did you enjoy Ralph's informercial? It took me about 2 minutes to figure out that was all it was - an informercial ... and not a particularly accurate one at that (did he actually say clean burning coal?? - yup, apparently so).

So what surprised you the most? For me, it wasn't what he said - it was what he didn't say. Like private insurance as Ralph's third way.

In fact, not only wasn't it mentioned in the informercial, it wasn't even mentioned in the legislature yesterday when Ralph tabled his spring programs and initiatives. Yet, pamphlets praising the merits of private insurance, and your ability to purchase such products, are being delivered to Albertan's door.

If you recall, the College of Physicians recently gave a stern warning to two Calgary doctors who were charging patients $4500 to get 24 hour service from them, which included house calls if warranted. The College stated that not only does it breach their conduct codes, but charging for these services are against the Canada Health Act -- at least for the present time.

The same goes for private insurance to cover health products covered under the Canada Health Act. Not allowed - at least for the present time.

While I am for the right for doctors to set up private clinics and charge patients for their services, I firmly believe that these fees can be paid for publically, if done the right way.

For example, the health regions are given a certain amount of dollars to work with every year. Yet, if you ask some of these very same regions how much it costs to run a bed in a hospital per annum, they couldn't tell you. Why? The don't pay attention because they get funding either way.

But what if they didn't get paid until the actually treated you? Do you think they would track their funds better? Of course. Do you think they would know almost to the penny how much it costs to run a bed in a hospital? You bet they would!

Another example is Albertan's who have special needs. These agencies are taxpayer funded yet they pick and choose who they will help and who they won't. Why? Because they get the funding anyway. So they really don't care if your loved one gets help.

But what if the special needs person got the money and then was able to pick and choose who they used for agencies? Think they would get better services? Of course!

So changing the way funding is done is just one way Albertan's can start to control spiralling health care costs, and it is just one of the many ideas the Alberta Alliance has to improve health care, yet keeping it publically funded and accessible to everyone, regardless of ability to pay.

Keep this in mind when you compare Ralph's way to an Alberta Alliance way. Who has the better plan? I think you know.

Exposed Gets Advance Look At Ralph's 3rd Way

2006-02-21T11:08:00.000-07:00

The brochure depicts a beautiful sand covered, sunny beach just for the two of you. The title says "Some things are worth waiting for...". Gosh, you think, what a great looking vacation spot. But you would be wrong!

For as you turn the page, the statement continues ... "access to medical services isn't one of them".

You soon realize that they aren't discussing vacations ... they are advertising for private health insurance, or better known as Ralph's "third way" for healthcare.

Say it isn't so Ralph!! Sadly, it appears to be true.

For those interested in a preview of Ralph's third way, here is a brief description insurance that you can purchase for over 125 "premium medical services".

So what are some "premium" services:
- heart bypass surgery
- angioplasty
- joint replacement
- cataracts
- CT Scans & MRI's
- 120 services more that aren't mentioned.

In fact, if you don't get service within 45 days, they will fast track you to the front of the line whether it is here or in the US.

For those who can afford private insurance, here are some benefits you will get:
- no wait lists
- world class facilities
- discretion and privacy
- minimally evasive procedures
- internationally recognized surgeons and specialists
- state of the art operating theatres and diagnostic equipment

For those who cannot afford private insurance, here are some benefits you will get:
- wait lists over 9 months long
- chances of dying before the majority of "premium medical issues" are performed
- surgeons and doctors who are overworked and lack proper equipment
- the quickest way to treat you, even if minimal evasion procedures are available.

So hang onto your wallet folks. Looks like Ralph's way will cost you - no matter whether you are rich or poor.

Tomorrow I will discuss the Alberta Alliance health care platform. It differs greatly from the Tory's third way, and is a much more pragmatic and sensible approach to health care.

2006-02-20T10:12:00.000-07:00

For many Albertans, we have the day off to spend with our families ... which is exactly what I plan on doing.

So for all those who don't get to enjoy today ... sorry about that (not really).

For us Albertan's.... just another great reason to live here!

Moonbat Publishes Jesus-Mohammed 'Gay' Cartoon. Where's The Uproar and Violence?

2006-02-19T17:05:00.000-07:00

Read it for yourself here.

Hmm... this cartoon was published last Wednesday, depicting Jesus and Mohammed smooching, something which should be expected to enrage both Christians and Muslims, for it's quite blasphemous and offensive to devout members of both faiths.

The U of T campus paper wasn't pulled from circulation, nor was the cartoon pulled from the paper's website, despite the huge uproar over the Western Standard's publication of Mohammed cartoons and subsequent pulling of the magazine from shelves by retailers out of fear and political correctness.

But this cartoon, a gay-orientated one, mind y'all, is completely allowed and excused? What's up with that? Is offending the gay community by pulling the cartoon worse than offending two of the planet's largest faiths, one of whom is on a worldwide murderous rampage due to such cartoons as we speak?

Oh, wait! I found the offensive cartoon! You can't see Momo's face in the cartoon! But you can see Jesus. Now I get it! Apparently it's okay to offend Christians whereas one cannot offend Muslims? Leave it to a leftist university student to do something like this. I get it. Political correctness is more important than worrying about offending Christians. Never offend Islam; always attack Christianity... that seems to be a value held by the left. And why did the Ottawa Sun get me so worked up over this? Why do they assume the faceless individual is necessarily Momo? Hell, some folks will argue it could be an Islamic woman with a hairy back. The Ottawa Sun made me make a fool of myself. They didn't publish the cartoon. The pussies. I just thought to use Google and there it was.

Anyway, here's the cartoon:

BTW, what about tolerance towards Christians, too? How dare some stupid moonbat fool do a cartoon depicting Jesus as homosexual? That's very, very offensive and it should be pulled and a hate crime charge should be levied against all those responsible for this monstrosity. They're sooo fortunate that Christians don't believe in violence in response to offenses against their religion. They shouldn't have done this cartoon without also having the courage to show Momo's face! I now dare them to depict Mohammed, face visible, as a gay man! And send it to Mohammed Elmasry and to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. No way will they have the courage to do it. But I dare them anyway.

Double standard, I say. That's Canada for ya.

Toronto Sun: you bad! Me mad as hell! Don't be so bloody manipulative again. It makes you look just like the MSM!

Don't worry, folks; although a Christian myself, I'm not going to promote any kind of violence whatsoever in response to this. I have just done what I'm entitled to under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms: express myself freely. If that moonbat at the U of T can do it, so bloody well can I, without being slurred as a bigot of any kind.

Terror Training Camp. In America. I Didn't Make This Up

2006-02-17T08:03:00.000-07:00

Scary, doesn't it look? There's a citizen investigation ongoing into this. Go to The Canadian Sentinel and follow the links provided for the story, a new report on which is now available from the partnership of the Northeast Intelligence Network and the blog, "The Politics of CP".

You don't want to be in the dark about this. They're in Canada, too. I'm going to be doing investigative research into their activities here as well. So go click on the link above and see for yourself about the sinister Jamaat ul Fuqra terror organization.

Alberta Alliance Will Deliver On Free Votes

2006-02-16T18:53:00.000-07:00

Do you know what a party whip is? If you aren't sure, here is the definition:

In politics, a whip is a member of a political party in a legislature whose task is to ensure that members of the party attend and vote as the party leadership desires.

The term originated in the Parliament of the United Kingdom and derives from the "whipper-in" at a fox hunt. Whip is also used to mean the voting instructions issued to members by the Whip.

So now that you know what a whip is, you begin to understand why your local representative votes the position of the party leader 100% of the time, or risk working out of the bathroom without even a window for some fresh air.

But as a citizen, is the position of your rep the same as yours? What if they are diametrically opposed (SSM for example). Would you really be getting true representation? Probably not.

As Canadians, we don't have much chance for change as long as whips are around. However, for Albertans, we have a choice.

The Alberta Alliance will ensure free votes for MLA's because we have placed a No Party Whip rule into our policies. This ensures that the grassroots ideology of serving the public, by voting based on the will of the people they serve - namely, their constituents, is not just lip service, but realized.

So while the Liberals and CPC boast about free votes, both parties possess party whips. And we all know what Party Whips are for!

Take Two Aspirin ... And Stop Drinking the Blue Koolaid

2006-02-15T09:24:00.000-07:00

If I was an MP in the Conservative government these days, I would be keeping a large bottle of aspirin close by.

And if I was a diehard Tory supporter, I would stop drinking the blue koolaid.

For you see, this announcement by Canadian Press confirms a posting yesterday on TDH Strategies website that broke a story about civil servant Maryantonett Flumian being promoted by Stephen Harper.

This is the same gal you may recall who ran the gun registry into the ground, according to Conservatives anyway, and obviously an embarrassed Gary Breitkreuz, in particular.

Here is an excerpt from the press release:

OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper's promotion of a senior gun registry bureaucrat has put one of his MPs in a tough spot -- Gary Breitkreuz once blamed the civil servant for huge cost overruns.

"The transition team must have seen something under the hood that I didn't see," the Saskatchewan MP said yesterday.

But according to some blogging Tories who posted responses, it's actually a "demotion" and that the blogger who released the info is a blowhard Liberal who cannot be believed. And for that matter, if you believe the story, than you are a bigger fool than TDH.

Yes, well call me a fool! A fool for voting Tory perhaps.

I will be the first to tell people that I had alot of hope that Harper would change things. So far though, all he has done is alienate certain MP's with embarrassing cabinet and service positions, disrespect the democratic electoral process he once professed was sorely needing reform, and virtually ignore the press so that Canadians haven't a clue what the heck he is doing as PM.

Let's hope when the house finally sits we see a different side of Harper because I sure am not liking the version being presented right now!

Democracy Lesson Needed For Everyone

2006-02-14T10:32:00.000-07:00

All politicians are basically cut from the same cloth. Even David Emerson, who says he really is just a "corporate guy" and is flabbergasted by all the ruckus.

That's because he, along with thousands of other Canadians, think we live in a democracy, which Canada is anything but.

To review, democracy is defined as "the free and equal right of every person to participate in government, done by voting for someone to represent your interests".
(Let's hope David now get's it and enjoys his last foray into politics in Vancouver.)

So what about your democratic rights in this parliamentary system that we have. Are you any better off??

Sadly, without reforms, you still have very few rights, even the right to have your vote count!

Regardless of your political persuasian, it's a fact that our political and social institutions are in need of an overhaul. In fact, the system has grown more dysfunctional over the years; and one that all parties seem reluctant to change, especially once they obtain power.

If you think about it, every other sector of society has changed except our federal and provincial political institutions. Instead of coming into the 22nd century with a government that gives Canadians a system of true democratic representation, they continue to govern as if it was 1875 and use the "first past the post" system which concentrates power in Ottawa, leaving the provinces to fight it out over funding and autonomy to run the programs they are responsible for.

We know obsessed leaders are bad for any democracy, yet we have done little to create the policies required to ensure the power is not usurped from the people in favour of political expediency or awarded as gestures to longtime lobbyists and friends.

We also know that an unelected legislature isn't democracy, and yet we leave our Senate and Courts unelected and allow one man (PM) to decide the future of all Canadians by stacking the senate and courts with friends and those who have contributed richly to his reign as King of Canada.

We know that the word accountability to politicians is a joke, as was evidenced in the Gomery Inquiry, yet we leave the Auditor General powerless and do not have any policies in place to hold them accountable for the flow of money from your pockets into theirs.

If anything, this election has shone a flood light onto the wholly undemocratic process by which cabinet ministers and senate positions are selected and the means by which constituents lose the only democratic right they have left - which is to vote for someone to represent them.

So what can you do? You can start by sending everyone you know to Fireweed Democracy so that they can educate themselves on what democracy is, why we lack it as Canadians, and what we can do as citizens to create the kind of government that we want.

Do what you can today. Our future generations are depending on us!

Saddam's Girly-Man Fashion Show

2006-02-13T21:34:00.000-07:00

Brought to you by The Canadian Sentinel...

Above: Saddam Hussein makes grand entrance into court, proudly modelling his latest ensemble: an oversized black blazer over a long grey skirt, complete with a pair of slippers and accessorized with a nice fancy purse. Isn't he just lovely?

Above: Saddam says, "Now, you will look at this slide show of my other outfits or you will die." Boy, what gall... still thinks he can dictate... to the judge. Sigh... well, they decided to humor him as he's going to be shot anyway... so here are the slides he showed of himself. Be sure you're not drinking anything, lest you spray your beverage all over your PC.

Above: Saddam models his lingerie for a tabloid

Above: Saddam in a swimsuit competition. He lost.

Above: Saddam shows off a satin football uniform. His supper is in the background, to the left.

Above: Saddam modelling a wedding gown. Looks like he's waiting for Osama.

Saddam as himself. He hopes to negotiate for popcorn in addition to the beer.

Seriously though, here's the latest antics of the pathetic loser in court.

Democracy and Ethics? More Like Hypocrisy and Chutzpah

2006-02-08T09:22:00.000-07:00

Democracy is defined in the dictionary as "the free and equal right of every person to participate in a system of government, often practiced by electing representatives of the people by the people".

Canada is supposed to be a democratic society. So is democracy what the good folks of Vancouver-Kingsway got when Emerson pulled a "Belinda"?.

Duff Conacher from Democracy Watch noted that "Harper's choice illustrates a serious error in judgment and proves Harper is the same brand of hypocritical politician that he heavily criticized throughout the campaign".

"I think Stephen Harper has shot himself in the foot on his first day as prime minister. And possibly even shot himself in the head in terms of his pledge to be a more ethical government," Conacher said.

Harper doesn't think it was a problem, although he has been quoted saying, “We do not go out of our way to romance MPs to cross the floor. Liberals will do anything to win. We try to create a principled party and going about it in a principled way. We are cautious about party-jumping because it creates cynicism it and if they jump once, you are not sure they will not jump again. I will always handle that with extreme caution.”

In fact, Emerson himself felt differently about Harper and the Conservatives last week, before the choice cabinet post of course.

Some prominent blogging pundits see nothing wrong with the defection; although it behooves them to explain to those of us who value democracy why it's not okay for one side to do it (Stronach), but because they can see an apparent strategy behind Harper's that it is okay?? I won't call you out to save you embarrassment, but you know who you are .... and I call you a hypocrites. And you guys complain about Eastern voters.

But more to the point, these bloggers miss the real issue. At what price is democracy for sale?? and for whose benefit?? (in case you have forgotten what democracy stands for, see meaning above).

Directly opposing the will of the people is autocracy, not democracy.

Exposed condems this type of behaviour in all politicians. You were elected by the people in your riding so represent them or step aside.

Of course, this is a perfect example of how electoral reforms, such as recall, are required if this country is to survive intact. But at least now we know why Harper watered down his electoral reforms policies.

Humble pie anyone?

CPC Surpasses Expectations

2006-02-06T11:54:00.000-07:00

It sure didn't take the CPC long before we started to see shades of Liberal tactics come out. I figured they would take some time to look "squeaky clean" before pulling a "Liberal".

Well, sheeet ... imagine my surprise to find out it only took 5 seconds! Talk about Liberal lite bs. Talk about the constituents in that riding being taken by somone who knew that he wasn't going to be representing them as presented. What chutzpah.

You know, Exposed predicted this type of incident way back on January 1 during my New Year observations. If I recall, my new years observations included this little diddi .. "Stephen Harper's version of Liberal Lite became predominently clear. I'm not impressed. If he has to sell himself out, then why bother calling yourself a Conservative".

Hmmm... I wonder if David Orchard is having a good laugh and telling people "I told you so".

It's All About Boring Canada You Say??

I say your full of doo doo.

The biggest reason for the drop of 30% in American tourists over the past 5 years from the GTA?? How about this or this or perhaps this.

So while you all have fun insulting Americans, stop complaining that they don't want to spend money in your city anymore.

Here's a tip: if you want tourism to increase, why don't you try being friendly instead of rude and arrogant.

Mr. Wasjman Responds

2006-02-01T10:24:00.000-07:00

Imagine my surprise to find my post about Mr. Wasjman's leadership bid being responded to by none other than Mr. Wasjman. An article I read in the Calgary Sun the other day mentioned that Mr. Wasjman was entering the leadership race for the Liberal Party.

Here, in his own words, is Mr. Wasjman's response:

"You are quite right. It is not the Liberal party that is interesting nor worth defending. It is he idea of industrial liberalism as the great force for individual expression and opportunity. My admiration for Trudeau stems from the fact that with the Charter he attempted to inculculate in Canadians a respect for their own individual consequence. He made every single one of us sovereign over any demands of the state or any collectivity. He changed Canada from a Parliamentary to a Constitutional democracy.

That message is at the heart of a true liberal agenda. We've got to make sure it takes hold in our spirits.

The idea of liberalism was put most succintly by a great "radical" in 1911. He said that the role of liberal government was,“To raise people up from poverty. To reconcile private interests with public rights. To attack monopoly. To reward enterprise, but not with untrammeled privilege and preference. To exalt the individual over ruler or regulation. To expand freedom at home and abroad. This is our liberalism. This is the signature of our society.” That radical was none other than Winston Spencer Churchill who spoke as Minister of Social Welfare in the Liberal Asquith government which he was a part of between his two Tory eras.

We need to get back to those basics. Cheers".

Important Info on Iran's War Intentions

2006-01-31T21:08:00.000-07:00

Here's some recommended reading. From the Northeast Intelligence Network. Read it all to understand the context of the following excerpts.

Excerpts (all emphasis mine):

Execution of the Iranian War Plan:

Attack the US and the UK with massive waves of suicide bombers. These attacks will be followed by massive use of Iranian missile borne WMD.

(...)

It has been widely published that Hassan Abbasi is on record as saying: "There are 29 sensitive sites in the US and the West. We have already spied on these sites and we know how we are going to attack them... Iran's missiles are now ready to strike Western targets, and as soon as the instructions arrive from Ali Khamenei, we will launch our missiles at their cities and installations."These attacks will come against the US and the UK. In fact, they will target the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel because as Abbasi has said these nations "are all the children of the same mother" meaning the United Kingdom.

Notice that Canada is a target of Iranian Jihad. Involving homicide bombers. And "missile borne WMD". And the left is so vehemently opposed to ballistic missile defense? Oh, shit. Shit.

That's scary.

Toronto Liberal Hidden Agenda

2006-01-31T12:11:00.000-07:00

So who is it that REALLY has a hidden agenda??

Why none other than the Liberals. You know, the ones who said Western Canadians were from the "dark side" with hidden agenda's.

Wanna talk scary with hidden agenda ... try on newly elected Toronto Liberal MP Omar Alghabra.

The only thing we can be grateful for is ... well - nothing. Of course, he will learn all the ins and outs of PH, along with security features not just for PH, but for our leaders and who knows what for military secrets.

Couldn't find a better place to stick a terrorist now could ya. WTG Toronto!! Hope you're proud!

This article is a MUST read. Click on any of the links and you will find very quickly that terrorists have made their way into Canadian Parliament.

Exposing the Agenda of the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy

2006-01-30T12:50:00.000-07:00

Yes, that's right: the "VLWC" for short. If Hillary Clinton could get away with alleging a "VRWC" against her hubby "Bubba" or "Slick Willy" Bill when his perverted Oval Office agenda with a certain "that woman... Miss Lewinsky" was exposed, and when it was exposed that he had exposed himself to a certain what-was-her-name, surely it's fair to dub the leftist groups as a whole the "VLWC". For they seem to always be singing from the same page, no matter what the issue.

Whatever their leftist leadership and the left-leaning MSM tell them is their position will therefore be their position, almost without exception. Then they join in a virtual conspiracy against all who take a different position than does the left.

We don't see this sort of conspiracy amongst conservatives, for it's well-known that we permit a variety of points of view under our huge umbrella representing a great diversity of folks who are or vote Conservative/Republican and all that.

For some evidence right now of leftist groups conspiring to do something really, really stupid and foolish, see "Protesters plan to drown out Bush's speech". Stupid groups, stupid slogans, and making as much noise as possible, including using pots and pans, outside of the venue of the State of the Union Address are all planned. For heaven's sake... do leftists believe in free speech or not? Oh, it's ok for leftists to say whatever the hell they want, but they won't let a democratically-elected President give a very important address?

There we have it, folks: Exposed: the agenda of the left is to drown out the expression of all who hold viewpoints which may differ from their own dogmatic ones. Makes me think of the Tiananmen Square Massacre in which the Chinese Communist regime actually killed people for expressing their desire for liberty, democracy and human rights. Is this where the left is headed? Scary moonbats, they! And they accuse conservatives of being scary? Hoo-boy!

Photoshop Jack Layton Style

2006-01-29T14:27:00.000-07:00

Have a look at Rick Mercer's Blog.

Mercer hosted a photoshop contest. The contestants had to manipulate a picture Mercer selected, which happened to be of Jack Layton in one of his leadership poses.

A few contestants cropped some funny and impressive prints - like the one posted here for your viewing enjoyment.
