After a week of stupid Liberal/lefty tricks, it's time to chill out and laugh!
I was just sitting here wondering.... When the hell is Spring coming?? ------------------------------------------------------- I ended up with an older woman at a club last night.
She looked pretty good for a 65-year-old.
In fact, she wasn't too bad at all, and I found myself thinking that she probably had a really hot daughter.
We drank a couple of beers, and she asked if I'd ever had a Sportsman's Double?
'What's that? I asked. 'It's a mother and daughter threesome,' she said.
As my mind began to embrace the idea, and I wondered what this daughter of hers might look like, I said, 'No, I haven't.'
We drank a bit more, then she said with a wink, "tonight's your lucky night."
We went back to her place. We walked in.
She put on the hall light and shouted upstairs:
'Mom, you still awake?' ----------------------------------------------------- WALMART INTERVIEW
Jennifer, a manager at Wal-Mart, had the task of hiring someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of 20 resumes she found four people who were equally qualified. Jennifer decided to call the four in and askthem only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.
The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table, Jennifer asked, 'What is the fastest thing you know of?'
The first man replied, 'A THOUGHT.' It just pops into your head. There's no warning.
'That's very good!' replied Jennifer. 'And, now you sir?', she asked the second man.
'Hmmm . . . let me see 'A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of.'
'Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light on the barn comes on in less than an instant. 'Yip, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of'.
Jennifer was very impressed with the third answer and thought she had found her man. 'It's hard to beat the speed of light,' she said.
Turning to Bubba, the fourth and final man, Jennifer posed the same question.
Old Bubba replied, 'After hearing the previous three answers, it's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA.'
'WHAT!?' said Jennifer, stunned by the response.
'Oh sure', said BUBBA. 'You see, the other day I wasn't feeling so good, and I ran for the bathroom, but before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already had an accident in my pants.'
BUBBA is now the new greeter at a Wal-Mart near you! You will probably think of this every time you enter a Wal-Mart from now on. --------------------------------------------------------- So adorable: FOR SALE :
One Useless Cat -----------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------ Husband Down A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart. The husband picks up a case of Miller Lite and puts it in their cart. 'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife. 'They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans' he replies. 'Put them back, we can't afford them' demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping. A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket. What do you think you're doing?' asks the husband. 'It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,' replies the wife. Her husband retorts: 'So does 24 cans of Miller Lite and it's half the price.' HUSBAND DOWN! HUSBAND DOWN! AISLE 7 ------------------------------------------------------
I would like to see all the old white opposition men try this! ------------------------------------------------------ Speaking of old white opposition men who attack Conservative women, here's one for them.
God will take care of you....not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing for the lefties. Watch the little guy in his dad's arms, priceless!
----------------------------------------------------- BLUE BIRD OF HAPPINESS, MY ASS! It's Freezing! There's snow in my ass, all the food's covered with 3 feet of this white shit, and you want ME to sing? What?? Anne Murray's "Snowbird"? Piss Off!! Next year, I'm flyin' to Jamaica.!! ----------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy your weekend, we get Family day off, so it's a long weekend! By the way, Dalton copied Alberta on that one, but Alberta could afford it!
The awful news that a reporter covering the story in Egypt had been sexually assaulted hit me hard. A woman can be career-minded and independent in America, but it is so much harder for women in Afghanistan and Iran and now Egypt to succeed because of a male dominated society that thinks women are not worth as much as men. So, how did people react to the news of her brutal assault? Badly!
This video mentions a Nir Rosen, who is this guy and why would he tweet such brutal stuff? Here is a video of his views on various issues:
Does anyone else think he is Muslim? Well, he isn't, he's Jewish. Earlier Wednesday, Rosen resigned from his fellowship at New York University's Center on Law and Security. Now that he has lost his job, he is remorseful, sort of......watch Anderson Cooper destroy this guy.
So a female reporter gets raped, and she gets blamed. Hope all those feminists rose to her defense....they didn't? What is it with lefties, they say they support women, but fail to do so every time.
Women, especially Conservative women are verbally attacked all the time. Think Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, and in Canada, Rona Ambrose, Christie Blatchford, Bev Oda, Helena Guergis, Leona Aglukkaq, and Lisa Raitt. The lefty coalition might want to tone their attacks on females down, it is pushing women towards voting Conservative. If they haven't seen the big shift in female votes towards the Conservatives, who am I to tell them that their treatment of Bev Oda is disgusting women in all provinces. PM Harper's strong support of his female Minister under attack is attractive to females, who are looking for a strong leader that makes them feel safe.
So keep up the attack on a female Iggy along with your journalists, it will make us women more determined than ever to make sure you do not get into power anytime soon. Who wants MP's that verbally insult women in order to get a few votes? The lack of respect shown to Oda has gone beyond disgusting, it is an all out brutal attack against a woman, and you should all be ashamed.
The minute I saw this story, I understood why the US, under Obama's rule refused to support Canada's quest for a seat on the security council. It was understandable that the Muslim countries like the UAE the Liberals love didn't like us, but our best friend the US betrayed us by not supporting our bid. Why? Here is the answer:
The U.S. informed Arab governments Tuesday that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body "does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity," a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal.
But the Palestinians rejected the American offer following a meeting late Wednesdy of Arab representativs and said it is planning to press for a vote on its resolution Friday, according to officials familar with the issue. The decision to reject the American offer raised the prospect that the Obama adminstration will cast its first ever veto in the U.N. Security Council.
At a time when the Arab world is in serious turmoil, the US is going to tell Israel not to build anymore houses? They are going to weaken Israel at the very time that Israel is being surrounded and threatened by the Islamic nations? Iran is sending warships through the Suez Canal, and Obama is going to slap the Israelis on the wrist for building houses, giving those Islamic nations more power?
Canada would have stood up to the Islamic nations and sided with Israel, that is why Obama did not support our bid for a seat at the security council. We would not have been scared of the US, we would not have bowed down to the Arab world, like Obama did. Now, with the US weakened by Obama, Israel is in deep trouble. They obviously can not rely on the US to back them up, and they know they will get no support from Europe. Canada and Australia will support them, but we are not super powers like the US or China.
Israel stands alone. The election of Obama sealed their fate, and the fate of those Islamic countries who think they can start a war against Israel without consequences.
While Islamic counties revolt against their dictators, shouting for democracy, the US under Obama and the UN are trying to restrict Israel, a sovereign nation, from developing their own nation. Funny how the US has no comment on the warships headed towards Israel. When did Americans become weak? Why does the Arab world think they can win a war against Israel? What has Obama said to them besides the bowing? He's a dangerous clown. This is the President of the US. Can you be sure he will make the best decisions for America? To help Israel? Does the US have your back anymore? When the President of the US bows to enemies and will not support their friends, what happens next?
Obama refused to support their best friend Canada in their quest for a seat on the security council, Obama is now refusing to support Israel, does the US have any friends left that Obama hasn't screwed? I'm starting to think Alberta needs to turn off the taps to the US, and start sending our oil to China.
As predictable as gas prices rising before a long weekend, we get mediagate! We get the media shrills yapping about how PM Harper's Conservative government is reducing democracy. Every time the polls show Canadians supporting the Conservatives, we get a new "gate", I guess this one will be called the Odagate or democracygate, or Harpergate, or... the list is endless.
How about we call it mediagate? It makes perfect sense to me, because it is the media that is shouting about all these "gates". It is the media making a "NOT" into an international issue, an "I don't know" into a RCMP mission, or a disagreement with a bureaucrats recommendation into a full blown inquiry. Take a pill all you lefties. Seriously, you are out of control, without direction, and nobody really cares about what "gate" you like this week. You have cried wolf too often, nobody is listening to you anymore.
Parliament is being asked to vote on a major crime bill without a clear idea of how much it could cost taxpayers, Canada's budget watchdog said Tuesday.
The Conservative government's secrecy is hampering parliamentarians' ability to evaluate new legislation, Kevin Page told a House of Commons committee.
He said MPs are losing their ability to perform their constitutionally mandated jobs because of the lack of information available about the cost of new bills.
Oh, the media's darling, never fails to disappoint. He gives the lefties wet dreams of a rise to power, on his very words, they are like music to their ears. Page is upset because HE can't get his grubby little hands on the government budget plans. Poor baby. Poor media, no budget leaks. HA.
One suspects this is because the decision to deny Kairos funding was taken neither by CIDA bureaucrats nor the Minister. This one has the imprimatur of the PMO all over it.
......
Not that the Harper government has launched the kind of all-out assault on democracy that his critics charge. But there has been a gradual erosion of parliamentary democracy under the Conservatives that the Stephen Harper of six years would have decried.
This journalist should have also pointed out that this is a minority government and the opposition can take it down any time they want. If democracy is at such a risk because the government cut some funding to a religious group (funny how the left is supporting a religious group now), let the opposition do their job, and vote non-confidence in this government. Instead they bleat about a word, and cry to the voting gods to make this "scandal" THE "scandal" that will vault them back into power. If that fails, they always have the fallback position of the coalition! What true and honest gems these parties are against a Minister, who wrote, NOT on a request for 7 million dollars.
It makes me laugh that no matter how hard the lefty media shrills for the Liberals, they continue on a downward trend, both of them. No matter how many hands Ignatieff shakes or how many times he misses Parliament to travel Canada, the Canadian people are not buying it. I am sure that the Ekos and IPSOS surveys represent an accurate picture AT THIS POINT in time.
The ads have helped frame Ignatieff as just visiting, and in it for himself. Even my Liberal parents think that way. The threat of an election when Canadians don't want one is probably the main reason for the uptick in the Conservative numbers.
Working into Canadians consciousness is that sneaking suspicion that a coalition would happen after the next election if the Conservatives only win a minority again. People might not list that as the number one reason for supporting the Conservatives, but it is percolating just on the outer rim of people's minds.
The Bloc DEMANDING more money for Quebec, is so arrogant and distasteful to the ROC that PM Harper has to come out strongly stating that Quebec should not get more money than the 8.6 BILLION they already get from the ROC. If all cultures are equal according to our Charter of Rights, then Quebec is equal to Saskatchewan and Newfoundland, not better. Interesting thing from the surveys is that the Conservatives now poll higher than the Liberals in Quebec after saying NO to the arena. That should be a big hint to the Conservatives. Stand your ground and do not pander to Quebec, they will not respect you for it.
Also interesting is that women are giving the Conservatives the nod. I guess not all women are lefty feminists. Can we expect an election in the spring? I'm still not sure, as the polls could shift again. I don't really want one, but I'm ready to door knock when it becomes necessary. Edmonton NDP MP Linda Duncan is going down, no matter how many NDP university students she recruits!!
What a bunch of juvenile idiots. Free speech has it's limits. Those police should have been able to yap right back at the spittle producing leftists. Yet the media thought Ford telling them to get a job was over the top? Did they air any of this protest? Did they hear the protesters profanity?
I wonder if an elderly woman had hit one of those mouthy protesters, if she would have been arrested, because that's exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to shout back at those fools that they needed to quit whining and get a job. I wanted to wade right in there and yell right back at them. I suspect, I would have been arrested if I had done that.
Listen to them yelling "don't hit me, don't touch me"! When they don't get hit or touched, they get aggressive against the police, and the police just have to stand there and take it, that is not right. The police should be able to escort them all out into the street, where they are free to protest all they want.
What this shows is the ugly leftist politics of activism. Just like when they shut Ann Coulter down, it shows how intolerant the progressive lefties really are. They do not stand for freedom, they stand for bullying. They are doing such a great job that people are switching their votes from the Liberals and NDP to the Conservatives. So, keep yelling, keep looking like idiots, you are only hurting your cause.
------------------------------------------------ I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the local shopping center and rolled Down the car windows to make sure my Labrador Retriever Pup had fresh air.
She was stretched full-out on the back seat and I wanted to impress upon her that she must remain there.
I walked to the curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me?"
"Stay! Stay!"
The driver of a nearby car, a pretty blonde young lady, gave me a strange look and said,
"Why don't you just put it in Park?" -------------------------------------------------------------- West Virginia State Trooper A WV State trooper pulled a car over on I-64 about 2 miles East of Lewisburg, West Virginia. When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver said he was a Magician and Juggler and was on his way to Beckley, WV to do a show at the Shrine Circus. He didn't want to be late. The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and said if the driver would do a little juggling for him then he wouldn't give him a ticket. He told the trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and didn't have anything to juggle. The trooper said he had some flares in the trunk and asked if he could juggle them. The juggler said he could, so the trooper got 5 flares, lit them and handed them to him.
While the man was juggling, a car pulled in behind the patrol car. A drunken good old boy from West Virginia got out, watched the performance, then went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in.
The trooper observed him and went over to the patrol car and opened the door, asking the drunk what he thought he was doing.
The drunk replied, 'You might as well take my ass to jail, cause there ain't no way I can pass that test.' -------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------- It all began with an iPhone . . .
March was when my son celebrated his 15th birthday, and I got him an iPhone. He just loved it. Who wouldn't?
I celebrated my birthday in July, and my wife made me very happy when she bought me an iPad.
My daughter's birthday was in August so I got her an iPod Touch.
My wife celebrated her birthday in September so I got her an iRon. It was around then that the fight started . . . What my wife failed to recognize is that the iRon can be integrated into the home network with the iWash, iCook and iClean. This inevitably activates the iNag reminder service.
I should be out of the hospital by Monday. --------------------------------------------------------- I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this one. It appears to affect those who were born prior to 1960.
Symptoms:
1. Causes you to end the same e-mail twice. Done that!
2. Causes you to send a blank e-mail! That too!
3. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person. Yep!
4. Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you. DUH!
5. Causes you to forget to attach the attachment. Well darn!
6. Causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished. Oh no - not again!
7. Causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND." and I just hate that!
8. Causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE." Oh no!
IT IS CALLED THE "C-NILE VIRUS." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- A mother and her young son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago.
The little boy (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked, 'If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?'
The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the flight attendant.
So the boy went down the aisle and asked the flight attendant, 'If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?'
The busy flight attendant smiled and said, 'Did your Mother tell you to ask me?'
The boy said, 'Yes, she did.'
'Well, then, you go and tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have your mother explain that to you." ----------------------------------------------------------------- Every man should have a bottle of this?
--------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ We are basking in plus 7 weather here, but it won't last! The nice thing is that the days are brighter, no more driving to and from work in the dark! Have a great weekend, and count your blessings that you are here in Canada and not in Egypt.
On progressive heads. They are stunned but not out, yet! All around the world, leaders are coming out and declaring that multiculturalism does not work.
"My answer is clearly yes, it is a failure," he said in a television interview when asked about the policy which advocates that host societies welcome and foster distinct cultural and religious immigrant groups.
"Of course we must all respect differences, but we do not want... a society where communities coexist side by side.
He is not the first one to declare multiculturalism dead:
British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Australia's ex-prime minister John Howard and Spanish ex-premier Jose Maria Aznar have also recently said multicultural policies have not successfully integrated immigrants.
Merkel in October said efforts towards multiculturalism in Germany had "failed, totally."
Will Canada listen and save itself? I think we can if we continue to elect the Conservatives, they are our only defense against the feel good lefties open up the borders (world) strategy. This is a serious issue for Canada. Do we want immigrants coming here and expecting to live like they did in their old country, or do we want immigrants to blend into our society while maintaining their traditions?
I think our younger generation will be our saviours. They have been going to school with all races and it has made them inclusive. What has been happening is that the immigrant children are being absorbed into our society, and want to be Canadians. On any given weekend we have kids visiting us from Korean, Chinese, Philippian, Ukrainian and Polish backgrounds. They all think of themselves as Canadian, no matter what country they or their parents came from. We have found that pizza is the universal language of kids.
How can multiculturalism work when the French and English of Canada are still not united? How can we demand that immigrants conform and integrate, when we have Quebec voting for separatists? Unfortunately, a group of grade nine students from Alberta, who paid good money to visit Quebec, found them arrogant and unfriendly. This will shape their feelings for years to come.
Immigrants need to integrate into the Canadian landscape, not come here and demand we change our laws to accommodate them. You want a better life here in Canada? Leave your old fights behind and come in peace.
The Harper government is considering allowing part of the federal gas tax revenues to be used for construction of large entertainment centres, such as the one proposed for Quebec. (bolding is mine)
A rumour leads.....a rumour! Is considering, might happen, may be traded, might be warming? Can you say garbage reporting, fear mongering, talking heads? They made sure to put Quebec's arena front and center. They even interviewed our mayor and citizens on the street about the rumour.
Global Edmonton should be seriously ashamed of this reporting of a non-story. Normally they are good at reporting the news and not making it up. Even my non-political husband noticed the biased reporting on this issue. Shame on Global Edmonton, you know better. Do they have a new producer? Maybe from Toronto? Not sure but I was totally disgusted by their reporting on a rumour, and making it the headline news. Make sure you tell them their rumour mongering is not appreciated.
If I posted a rumour that an unnamed source in the Liberal party had confidentially told me that Ignatieff is considering leaving for Harvard in April, I would get called on it, asked for proof, and maybe sued for nothing more than being a Conservative blogger with an opinion.
So make sure you call out those powerful slithering, leftist TV stations when they fear monger by spouting rumours! (Taking my writing style from the far-far leftist Mallick.) I know it needs work, I'm not as good as her at using terms like slithered and spouting, but the feminist's have years of experience, time for us REAL women and REAL men (no metrosexuals) to start fighting back. We don't have to protest at Parliament to make our voices heard, we can use blogs, facebook, and email.
Let's start targeting organizations like the SOWS that we want revamped or just gone. One organization at a time until they are disappeared. Which organization should go first?
You must watch, if you haven't, IRANIUM. I am linking to Brett because he was the first one out with it. So thanks. I spent too much time this evening watching it, so this will be a short blog.
I wasn't shocked by anything contained in the documentary, those of us paying attention already know most of those details. What you need to do, is talk to people about it, get them to watch it, spread the information. Only with knowledge will we know our enemy and be able to defeat them.
You have to love a guy who speaks his mind and takes it from all sides. I agree with Maxime, and I have to respect his clear stand on a very controversial subject. Bill 101 is not about Quebec's need to preserve French, it's about Quebec being insecure, and arrogant.
The Prime Minister’s biggest quandary is that he can hardly discipline his charismatic MP from the Beauce for expressing opinions he used to (and probably still does) hold — namely the state should not coerce people into making decisions that concern their personal lives.
Before he united the right in 2003, Mr. Harper could often be heard spouting off about bilingualism (“the god that failed”) and Bill 101.
Hello, get the state out of our lives. Ivison makes it sound wrong to want less government control of our lives. He makes snarky references about PM Harper "spouting off" and the catty little ("the god that failed") remark shows a serious lack of deep thinking by a journalist, but why am I surprised?
Maxime has the right to have an opinion just like any other MP or individual. You can agree with his opinion or not, but he has as much right to "spout off" as Ivison does. Check out the comments, Ivison is not doing very well.
I think Max is a breath of fresh air. He has some good ideas, and it is nice to see an MP from Quebec care more about Canada then just his province. So much for PM Harper muzzling his MP's. I wonder why Ivison didn't mention that? Oh, right that wouldn't fit with the media's agenda. Cry about PM Harper being a bully and keeping a tight rein on his MP's, then when a Conservative MP does speak up, slamming him as a renegade and a "problem" for PM Harper. Can't have it both ways MSM, or you just look like idiots....oh wait.
I wonder how Muslim parents are going to stop their kids from listening to music. No physical education might lead to chubby kids, maybe that's why burkas are so loved. The most important thing to take from this is that those Muslim parents are preventing their children from becoming Canadian.
WINNIPEG— A dozen Muslim families who recently arrived in Canada have told Winnipeg’s Louis Riel School Division that they want their children excused from compulsory elementary school music and coed physical education programs for religious and cultural reasons.
This is why Canadians are becoming so careful around Muslims. We tiptoe around their loud demands, saying nothing, but thinking they are rude. Why is it that most immigrants fit into Canadian culture without any problems, but Muslims can not and will not? Chinese, Europeans, Japanese, Russians, all come here and integrate into Canadian society. What one group doesn't? What one group runs to our HRC's with hurt feelings? What one group wants us to change our life style to accommodate them? Muslims.
I know some Muslims, and they are wonderful people, but their voices are silent against the more violent radical Islamists, so they get branded with the same brush as the radicals.
Thankfully some Muslims are starting to speak out:
However, a local Muslim leader says there is no reason for young kids to be held out of music or phys-ed classes based on religious and cultural grounds.
“Who is advising them? My first concern would be who are these new immigrants talking to?” said Shahina Siddiqui, executive director of the Islamic Social Services. “This is the first time I am hearing this; I’m not very happy about it.”
Siddiqui said there is no problem with elementary-school children taking coed phys-ed, at least “not with little kids under the age of puberty.”
Good for you! Maybe you should talk to those "recent" immigrants and clue them in about being Canadian. We are a tolerant society, but don't confuse that with us being marshmallows, we will fight for our freedoms. If you come to Canada expecting to change it into a failed dictatorship like you just left, don't bother to come, we don't want immigrants who refuse to adapt to our way of life. Send your kids to a Muslim school, and stop whining, it's unbecoming and annoying.
Canada is the best country in the world, if you don't like it, LEAVE.
No, not Obama, but a truly great President, Reagan. What a gift he was to America. Democrats love Kennedy, a womanizing President, guess that's why they still like Clinton, no morals seems to get the Democrats all warm and fuzzy. A man of principle and honesty, like Reagan is despised by Democrats and the media. I guess anything Conservative is a threat to Democrats, because it's hard to impose socialism on a country that stands for individual freedom. Ronald Reagan stood for free enterprise and less government.
He also had a great sense of humour:
If you can't get enough of Reagan, a speech he made in 1980 still applies to today. It is worth listening to:
Then compare it to Sarah Palin's speech during the election:
Funny how articulate Sarah was until the media told you she wasn't. People bought into the media's image of Sarah, they still do. It is frightening how much power the media still has on people. It is time for people to take to their keyboards and reverse the power of the media. Seriously, who actually goes out and buys a paper anymore?
I salute you President Reagan, you were an honourable man, at a time when America needed you.
----------------------------------------------------- THE BLONDE AND THE COW"
A blond City girl named Amy marries a Colorado rancher.
One morning, on his way out to check on the cows, the rancher says to Amy 'The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows today, so I drove a nail into the 2 by 4 just above where the cow's stall is in the barn. Please show him where the cow is when he gets here, OK?'
The rancher leaves for the fields. After a while, the artificial insemination man arrives and knocks on the front door. Amy takes him down to the barn. They walk along the row of cows and when Amy sees the nail, she tells him, 'This is the one right here.'
The man, assuming he is dealing with an air head blond, asks, 'Tell me lady, 'cause I'm dying to know; how would YOU know that this is the right cow to be bred?' 'That's simple," she said. "By the nail that's over its stall,' she explains very confidently. Laughing rudely at her, the man says, 'And what, pray tell, is the nail for?'
The blond turns to walk away and says sweetly over her shoulder, 'I guess it's to hang your pants on.'
(It's nice to see a blond winning once in awhile.) ------------------------------------------------- A Blonde goes to Heaven!
A Blonde was sent on her way to Heaven. Upon arrival, a concerned St Peter met her at the Pearly Gates. 'I'm sorry,' St Peter said; 'But Heaven is suffering from an overload of godly souls and we have been forced to put up an Entrance Exam for new arrivals to ease the burden of Heavenly Arrivals.'
'That's cool' said the Blonde, 'What does the Entrance Exam consist of?'
'Just three questions' said St Peter.
'Which are?' asked the Blonde.
'The first,' said St Peter, 'is, which two days of the week start with the letter 'T' '? The second is 'How many seconds are there in a year?' The third is 'What was the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?'
'Now,' said St Peter, 'Go away and think about those questions and when I call upon you, I shall expect you to have those answers for me.'
So the Blonde went away and gave those three questions some considerable thought (I expect you to do the same)..
The following morning, St Peter called upon the Blonde and asked if she had considered the questions, to which she replied, 'I have.'
'Well then,' said St Peter, 'Which two days of the week start with the letter T?'
The Blonde said, 'Today and Tomorrow.'
St Peter pondered this answer for some time, and decided that indeed the answer can be applied to the question.
'Well then, could I have your answer to the second of the three questions?' St Peter went on, 'how many seconds in a year?'
The Blonde replied, 'Twelve!'
'Only twelve?' exclaimed St Peter, 'How did you arrive at that figure?'
'Easy,' said the Blonde, 'there's the second of January, the second of February, right through to the second of December, giving a total of twelve seconds.'
St Peter looked at the Blonde and said, 'I need some time to consider your answer before I can give you a decision.' And he walked away shaking his head.
A short time later, St Peter returned to the Blonde. 'I'll allow the answer to stand, but you need to get the third and final question absolutely correct to be allowed into Heaven. Now, can you tell me the answer to the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?'
The blonde replied: 'Of the three questions, I found this the easiest to answer.'
'Really!' exclaimed St Peter, 'And what is the answer?'
'It's Andy.'
'Andy??'
'Yes, Andy,' said the Blonde.
This totally floored St Peter, and he paced this way and that, deliberating the answer. Finally, he could not stand the suspense any longer, and turning to the blonde, asked 'How in God's name did you arrive at THAT answer?'
'Easy' said the Blonde, 'Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited til his billy boiled.'
And the Blonde entered Heaven...
you're singing it now, aren't you…?? ------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------- Drunks have the best sense of humor...
A drunk walks out of a bar with a key in his hand and he is stumbling back and forth. A cop on the beat sees him and approaches, "Can I help you Sir?"
"Yessh! Ssssomebody ssstole my carrr", the man replies.
The cop asks, "Where was your car the last time you saw it?"
"It wasss on the end of thisshh key", the man replies.
About that time the cop looks down and sees the man's willy hanging out of his fly for all the world to see.

----------------------------------------------- The Funniest Staff Meeting Ever!
The boss of a Madison Avenue advertising agency called a spontaneous staff meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week. (This is one pretty sharp boss!) When everyone gathered, the boss, who understood the benefits of having fun, told the burnt out staff the purpose of the meeting was to have a quick contest. The theme: Viagra advertising slogans. The only rule was they had to use past ad slogans, originally written for other products that captured the essence of Viagra. Slight variations were acceptable.
About 7 minutes later, they turned in their suggestions and created a Top 10 List.. With all the laughter and camaraderie, the rest of the week went very well for everyone! The top 10 were:
10. Viagra, Whaazzzz up!
9. Viagra, The quicker pecker picker upper.
8. Viagra, like a rock !
7. Viagra, When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.
6. Viagra , Be all that you can be.
5. Viagra, Reach out and touch someone.
4. Viagra, Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.
3. Viagra, Home of the whopper!
2. Viagra, We bring good things to Life!
And the unanimous number one slogan:
1. This is your peepee... This is your peepee on drugs --------------------------------------------------------- THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:

I loved the idea of Egypt; camels, mysterious pyramids, ancient historical sites, but now I have no desire ever to visit. I can look at pictures and read books instead.
I have great sympathy for the people of Egypt, they deserve a free and open country as much as everyone else does. Democracy is hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain. Canadians take it for granted. The last threat to our democracy was the Liberal/NDP/Bloc coalition, we too took to the streets in protest, and luckily the Governor General realized that a government that excluded the party with the most votes and the most MP's would be a misrepresentation of voters intentions. Egypt has no such fail safe position. The protesters can force a change of government without Egyptians actually voting for the people that get put into power. They will only be changing one dictator for another, maybe harsher dictator. It will not be a democracy.
Self appointed spokesman for the Egyptian "revolution" Mohamed ElBaradei is not a man to inspire confidence in pro-Western circles.
Tariq Rauf
As head of the U.N's International Atomic Energy Agency (1997-2009) ElBaradei cultivated a circle of advisers, a "kitchen cabinet" - that included an accused Russian spy, Canadian national and IAEA Verification and Security head Tariq Rauf.
However it is ElBaradei's service on the Board of the International Crisis Group that should really set alarm bells ringing.
Very interesting site, make sure you look at some of the other posts.
As a matter of fact, even the far left Tyee, has an article that shows an increase in oil tanker traffic from Vancouver. Do the people living in Vancouver know that a oil pipeline runs under the city? One or two commentators show some common sense:
blackie
There's an appalling lack of knowledge about what that hated pipeline system actually does (and has been doing now for about 50 years), and what would happen in the Lower Mainland if it were suddenly shut down (as so many of you seem to be arguing).
1. It transports crude oil to the one remaining refinery in the Lower Mainland (there used to be four). Shut down the line, and that refinery either closes and lays everyone off, or starts importing oil in tankers (which is how it happened before they built the pipeline.)
2. It transports in batches gasoline, diesel, jet fuel etc -- all refined products -- sold in the Lower Mainland. Shut the system down, and you can put all the cars and the buses up on blocks and get your bicycles out (don't forget the snow tires). The alternative is to ship much much more of that stuff in tankers on the highways -- all the way from Edmonton. Think that's safer?
3. Yes, it ships some crude offshore in tankers, and more of it every year. No tanker spills yet. If Dogwood and First Nations opposed to the Kitimat line succeed (I think they will) then you can expect even more crude (triple, in fact) to come down the line to Vancouver. Why? Hands up all those who think it's a good idea to sell oil only to the US.
I know, you don't want Canada to sell ANY oil to ANYONE. Well, good luck with all those great social programs you like.
Funny how the opposition are yapping about no oil tankers on the west coast when they have been there for years. They also don't want a pipeline to Kitimat because the pipeline might burst or something. It's a plain case of blackmail. The environmentalists and First Nations are blackmailing the oil companies and Canadians by their lawsuits and protests. If they persist, look at what Alberta can do:
We can send it right on down to Seattle or Portland or any other destination that already has existing pipelines. Oh, my goodness, we might even be able to send that tar sands oil to eastern Canada. LOOK, we already have pipelines going to Winnipeg and Ottawa. Yikes how did that happen? Real pipelines sending real oil all across Canada and the US with no big spills. You lefties better get those pipelines shut down tomorrow because it is obviously too dangerous in high density areas. Seriously, shut them down! Stop all oil tankers from docking at the Vancouver and Halifax harbours, NOW!
Hey lefties don't forget the East Coast too, you don't want to appear to be hypocrites do you? Oh, I forgot the Irvings OWN the east coast and they love blood oil, not Alberta's ethical oil. Talk about a monopoly that should be investigated. Suck it up sweethearts, you are blackmailing Canadian taxpayers, and we will not stand for it anymore. Stop the pipeline if you want, we will send our oil to Seattle, and they can gain the employment benefits, or Billings Montana, then we won't have to deal with BC at all.
The Muslim world is erupting and Obama sits on the fence, while Hillary dithers. He started it by bowing to US enemies and blowing off US friends, like he did with Canada and our security seat. He is a disaster. The US has gone from powerhouse to laughing stock. I honestly worry about what will happen in the next 2 years of Obama's reign. Can the US hold it together long enough to survive?
The street revolts in Tunisia and Egypt show that the United States can do very little to save its friends from the wrath of their citizens.Jimmy Carter will go down in American history as "the president who lost Iran," which during his term went from being a major strategic ally of the United States to being the revolutionary Islamic Republic. Barack Obama will be remembered as the president who "lost" Turkey, Lebanon and Egypt, and during whose tenure America's alliances in the Middle East crumbled.
The east is in turmoil. There are very few safe havens left in this world of ours. Can the US turn to a successful businessman to lead them? I'm not so sure he's the one to lead them, I like Palin much better, but he's better than lots of other Republican candidates.
Donald Trump is mad as hell — and he’s letting everybody know it. In a wide-ranging exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV on Friday, the billionaire real estate mogul and reality TV star lashes out at China, OPEC, Obama’s Middle East dealings, the president’s State of the Union address and more.
He also complains that the United States is a “laughing stock” throughout the world — and confirms that he is seriously considering running for president in 2012.
Obama vs Trump? A community organizer vs a self made billionaire? Hummm, let me think about that one. Personally, at this point, ANYONE would be better than Obama.
Help is coming. Our PM is going to the US to talk to President Obama on Friday. This is, as far as I know, an unscheduled visit. Why? I suspect that Obama is wanting some advise on the Middle East and recognizes that PM Harper is a smart man, with a strong moral and political sense of what to do. Face to face so no wiki-leaks happen.
If nothing else, call on the useless UN to intervene and make sure that Egyptians actually get to vote in a fair and democratic election in September. Do not let a fake "intern" government take over Egypt, like Hezbollah has taken over Lebanon. Once that happens the Egyptians will be no better off than they were before, they will have just exchanged one dictator for another.
Keep warm my American friends, both blizzards will eventually end.
It's easy, reduce business taxes, increase jobs and investment income. Only NDP voters lack the intellect to understand that simple logic, oops, I mean only lefties like the Liberals, NDP and Bloc can't understand the concept of reducing taxes to encourage investment. It appears David Akins suffers from the same disease.
A new poll, taken exclusively for QMI Agency, finds that four in 10 Canadians believe that not only should the government scrap a planned round of corporate tax cuts, the government should be hiking corporate income taxes.
When does 40% make up a majority? The opposition are quick to tell us that ONLY 38% voted for the Conservatives and therefore a majority of people didn't. Now it appears that 40% is a majority when it comes to corporate tax increases. Okay, let's increase taxes for all those corporations that have unions, make the unions pay the new taxes from their wages. Let's see how they squeal then.
Something else the MSM is failing to tell people. The tax reductions has already been passed with the help of the Liberals. Yes, you heard that right, the tax reductions are already law. Why are the Liberals bleating about it, when they voted for it? They are using the emotional angle. Big, bad, corporations are getting a tax break. Those CEO's are raking in the dough, and people are starving in the streets! People forget that corporations employ people. Let the unions create jobs. Give me an example of one union that has created jobs, ever. They take dues from the workers and use those dues to get politically involved, like their support of Palestine. They are not democratic, they FORCE their members to give them money, and the members have no say in how they spend it. Talk about dictators.
Liberals are showing how hypocritical they really are, they vote for corporate tax reductions and then reverse their position and are against them. Flip flop, flip flop, like a fish out of water.
I was amazed that people are stunned enough to protest "fake" CBC cuts, declaring "I Love CBC". I guess they think over a BILLION a YEAR to CBC is not enough. Funny I bet those are the same people who think money spent on our military should be spent on the homeless instead. Pinheads.
I decided that I needed to protest CBC, but don't have the time to gather in front of my nearest government/CBC office. My solution is to create a bumper sticker so I can protest everyday to and from work. I found a site that will allow me to create my own bumper sticker for just $5 plus shipping, but I would like some creative help.
Should I stick with the basic "I hate CBC", or go with the "Honk if you hate CBC", or how about "De-fund CBC"? Remember, I'm in Conservative country, so I can be bold. I'm not comfortable with the "hate" word, so help me create a really catchy slogan I can be proud to display on my car.
I have faith in your creativity, be it a slogan or a logo.
Someone missing a cat? ------------------------------------------------------ A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her.
One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a $20 fell out onto the sidewalk.
Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag."
"Oh really? Darn it!" said the little old lady. "I'd better go back and see if I can find them.. Thanks for telling me officer."
Well, now, not so fast," said the cop. Where did you get all that money? You didn't steal it, did you?" "Oh, no, no", said the old lady. "You see, my back yard is right next to the Golf course.
On Golf days, a lot of Golfers come and pee through a knot hole in the fence, right into my flower garden. It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought, 'why not make the best of it?
So, now, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers. Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, 'O.K., buddy! Give me $20, or off it comes.'
"Well, that seems only fair," said the cop, laughing. "OK. Good luck! Oh, by the way, what's in the other bag?"
"Well, you know", said the little old lady, "not everybody pays." --------------------------------------------------------- Two Cajuns, Boudreaux and Thibodeaux, were adrift in a lifeboat. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, Boudreaux stumbled across an old lamp. He rubbed the lamp vigorously and a genie came forth.. This genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Boudreaux immediately blurted out, 'Turn the entire ocean into Budweiser beer! The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the sea turned into beer and the genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the two men considered their circumstances. Thibodeaux looked disgustedly at Boudreaux whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension-filled moment Thibodeaux said, 'Nice going Boudreaux! ........Now we're going to have to pee in the boat.' ------------------------------------------------------------- Keeping with the beer theme:

Are these people serious? A rally to support CBC against "imaginary" cuts? What cuts? Oh do they mean the cuts that "might" happen if the Conservative party gets a "dreaded" majority? I used to think all the nut bars were in the NDP party, but it seems the NDP are the reasonable ones these days.
The group, called I Love CBC-Peterborough, announced a postcard campaign to save the public broadcaster from federal cuts and handed out “I Love the CBC” bumper stickers at the Peterborough Public Library before marching downtown.
The group is a branch several CBC support groups that have launched since a local member of Parliament – and a parliamentary secretary to the minister of Canadian heritage - quipped publicly in 2010 about pulling the plug on the CBC.
“Maybe it’s time we get out of the broadcasting business,” Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro said in November.
“There’s a suspicion among this group that the Conservative Party is hostile to the CBC,” Roy Brady, one of the rally organizers, said at the rally.
Kady Denton, another organizer of Thursday's march, said she has heard from many people in Peterborough that they are embarrassed by Del Mastro's comment.
“We want the government to recognize the CBC as a national treasure,” she said.
Oh my God, they want the CBC recognized as a national treasure? Seriously, these people walk among us. I say, if they "love" the CBC soooo much, they can support them as a public broadcaster. You "love" them so much, you pay for them! Leave me out of it. I want none of my taxes going towards this Liberal shrill organization. Dean Del Mastro is correct, the government has no business funding this useless organization with our tax dollars, same goes for the UN.
Same goes for the separatist Bloc, who use blackmail to get what they want (huge pensions paid for by all Canadians). Gary Clement has them pegged to a tee!
Maybe we should start a facebook group called "I Hate CBC" and see who gets more hits. No, that would be childish, and only make us lower ourselves to the protester level, which is a tool the Liberals and NDP use without a thought and of course the media never calls them "attack facebook groups".
I'm sure that people in the east thought the Reform party was bad for Canada when it first arrived on the scene, but the Reform party never wanted Alberta to separate. Not like the Bloc, who actively campaign for Quebec to leave Canada.
I like Quebec in Canada. The province is unique and adds a special flavour that makes Canada more interesting, but so does PEI. Funny how you never see PEI crying for more money from the rest of Canada even though they have very little industry or job opportunities. (Thanks PEI for sending my husband to Alberta!)
So, why does Quebec think that they are MORE special than any other Canadian province? Why do they continue to vote for a party that wants to separate from Canada, then whine when they don't get that hockey arena paid for by the rest of Canada. They are pro's at using threats to keep Canada "unified".
Quebec politicians often seek de facto bribes from Ottawa — whether in the form of cold cash or more symbolic gestures. And usually, Ottawa gives in. This explains why our equalization system is skewed so as to deliver a multi-billion-dollar jackpot to Quebec every year; not to mention Paul Martin’s “asymmetric federalism,” and Stephen Harper’s declaration that Quebec constitutes a “nation.” These shakedowns have come to define the Canadian political condition.
On Wednesday, Mr. Duceppe took things to a crassly chutzpadik new level, demanding that Quebec receive a cool $5-billion from Ottawa as his price for supporting the upcoming budget. How did he arrive at this figure? By adding together a bunch of stale demands from yesteryear — including $421-million for dealing with the great ice storm of 1998.
Are you kidding me? Is this what Quebec really wants? Do they have no shame? Quebec has gone from the victim to the predator, but we already knew that didn't we? I keep thinking how the western provinces have so much in common with Quebec. We all want more control over provincial jurisdictions. We want the federal government to stay out of our way, and give us room to grow. Where the western provinces differ from Quebec is that we want to do it without welfare from all other provinces. Quebec has no excuse for taking transfer payments from other provinces. The transfer payments are like bedbugs, once you have them, they are very hard to get rid of.
If Quebec keeps voting for the Bloc, they will continue to isolate themselves from Canada, and I hope that isn't really what they want.
My message to PM Harper is very serious, it could mean the difference between a united Canada or a nation in pieces (Hint: It's not Quebec that will separate).
Do not give in to Duceppe's demands, it is blackmail, plain and simple. The Bloc MP's refuse to sing "Oh Canada" in our Parliament, a blatant snub to ALL Canadians. Do not give any money to an arena in Quebec. If this means you will not get a majority next election, so be it. You need to show Quebec that they can not blackmail us anymore. They might even surprise you and vote for you because you stood tall on issues that concern ALL Canadians, not just Quebec.
To the people of Quebec, think very hard about what you do to Canada when you vote for a party that wants you to stop being Canadians. Stop being so selfish. It's easy to vote for the Bloc as a protest (or that's how you justify voting for a party that wants to destroy the Canada we know), but understand that it makes other Canadians angry. Angry because you do not love our Canada as much as we do, if you did you could never vote for a separatist party. NEVER.
As we in Alberta say thanks and goodbye to Stelmach as our Premier, we need to think about how he got to be our Premier. Lefties signed up for party membership to vote for Jim Dinning and allowed Stelmach to come up the middle and win. That's what meddling in an election gets you, like the Liberals ended up with Dion, the third place choice.
Stelmach is a good and honest man, who was like a fish out of water, he is a perfect example of Peter's Principle, he was elevated one step too many. I believe that he is trying to save the PC party by retiring, but I wonder if it is not too late. I don't think it is his fault, the government is stale and too liberal, even a new leader might not help. Might not. The leader will be important. Fresh, new blood is needed.
I had already decided to vote for Wildrose next election if they ran a candidate in my riding, now the game has changed. My vote is going to depend on who the PC's pick for a leader. I'm sure Morton is the front runner, but he is not new, and he has less charisma than Stelmach did. No other PC MLA rings any vote bell with me, and if it comes down to Morton as the new leader, my vote bell is just a hollow ringing in the back of my head. The glow is off of Morton, his timing was off, he should have run for the Wildrose leadership, now he is just an old PC MLA.
Run, Monte, Run! Monte Solberg as leader would return my vote to the PC's. He is young, dynamic, Conservative and smart. He also wouldn't take any guff from special interest groups, other Premiers, or even PM Harper. With him in Alberta and Premier Wall in Saskatchewan, maybe a new Conservative government in Manitoba, the west would continue rising! The east would only be able to look on with envy, or get smart and go with the Conservative flow.
Jim Prentice might also get my vote, but he's a bit too small c conservative for me. He reminds me more of a Dinning type candidate. He's too politically correct for a young dynamic Alberta. We need a champion.
Alberta needs a true Conservative government, not like the blue liberal crew we seem to have now. You can already see the "labeling" going on in the media calling the Wildrose Alliance party "far-right". Little does the eastern media understand that a label like that is guaranteed to drive more votes towards the Wildrose, than away. A good mix of new Wildrose MLA's and some of the old PC's could work really well FOR Alberta.
These are just my initial thoughts on a situation that is sure to change in the next year here in Alberta. Finally, we might have an exciting election. Oh, and to the three lefty Alberta parties... good luck on splitting the 20% vote between you all.
This time you lefties should stay out of other parties leadership campaigns. How would you Liberals have liked it if all us Conservatives (and there are a lot of us) had signed up to vote for your leader? You can show your support for your party by voting for them next election. Keep it honest this time. Let PC members vote for their new leader without interference.
Belated Congrats Conservative party and PM Harper (I still love saying that!). Five years in a minority government and still kicking (Can I say kick or is that too violent?). My prediction is that we will not have an election this year, so it will be five plus 1. Then the Conservatives will get their majority giving them 4 years to get things done, leading us to 5 plus 1 plus 4 = 10.
To see PM Harper's speech go here to CTV. Ignore the comments, lefties are Harper Haters. It's as disgusting as the lefties blaming Sarah and the Tea Party for a deranged man shooting and killing people at a political rally. Rational is not a term lefties understand, I dare not mention common sense!
If the Conservatives get a majority what would we see? The end of the long gun registry (hello lefties, not a big surprise and the reason many lefty MP's are going to lose their seats!).
An elected Senate. (What's so scary about that?).
The demise of the CWB monopoly (thank goodness. How stupid is it that western farmers are forced to sell their grain to the CWB while eastern farmers can sell their grains to anyone they want?)
More criminals behind bars for longer, (It's about time, and don't believe the lefty propaganda that crime is decreasing.) My husbands truck (yes we are rednecks, and proud of it!) was broken into, we reported it and the police just said call your insurance company, no formal report was written, so it doesn't appear in StatsCan data. I'm pretty sure we aren't the only ones this has happened to.
5 plus 1 plus 4 = 10 (at least) years that the Conservatives will be in power. Suck it up lefties. You want a cleaner environment? Go to China, they need help cleaning up their pollution. You want to give women in third world countries the abortion option? Go over there and help that goal come true, but don't expect me to pay for it. Learn to raise your own funds, don't come running to the government for your grants and entitlements, taxpayers are sick of everyone with outstretched hands and no results.
What would you like to see done for Canadians, in the next 5 years of Conservative government? What is your priority?
I want a reduction of the deficit and debt. Interest rates are only going up, so we need to manage our debt, and that includes provinces, municipalities and hospitals.
The media needs to sell papers so "attack ads" sells more than "truth ads". Let's get real, all political parties put out ads, some are serious, some are pointed at policies, some are pointed at leaders, and some are even funny. No matter how hard the media tries to shape public opinion on the ads, if they ring true with the intended audience, they are successful ads.
Here' s an ad that I think should have been very effective:
Seeing as Doer was re-elected, it couldn't have been as effective as desired. One of the most effective ads, that I remember from the 2006 election, wasn't even by a political party, and it wasn't intended to be political, but every single time I saw it, I thought about the Liberals, so thanks Capital One!
Whoever does the Capital One ads needs a raise! That ad alone helped to give votes to the Conservative party because adscam was still fresh in voters minds.
The media coverage is making Liberals into victims of big bad Conservatives. Poor babies. As if the Liberals or NDP have never put out "attack ads", like this one:
That ad didn't work as Brad Wall is now the Premier of Saskatchewan. I tend to like the funny engaging ads the best, but I remember the truly negative ads the most, like the Liberals "Soldiers in our Streets" ad that never actually aired, but the blog-sphere got the word out on that one really quickly, and the TV news stations were forced to air it.
Do "attack ads" work? Yes, but mostly only for the people who have already made up their minds. Can they give the final push into determining my vote? Probably. I liked Stockwell Day's jetski stunt, it made him look young and dynamic, compared to Chretien. Then the lefty media got really cruel, calling him "Doris Day", and a bright star was dimmed. I still really like him and think he got a raw deal from the Liberal friendly media, but that's what Conservatives have to expect. Steven Harper get's no breaks from the media, but he is too strong in character to buckle under the lefty media pressure, and that has the media in a tizzy! He makes them look like fools, and it looks good on them.
Here is an idea, let's take the media on. Blog more about their bias, comment more at their sites, and watch the political shows less. Lower their viewership and therefore their ad income. I would love to see what has happened to CTV's viewership since Duffy has left. I suspect it has gone down. Conservatives are not noted for being "activists", I have never protested anything in my life, but I find it very easy to email my MLA, Senator, or MP, depending on what I am ticked off about at the time. It is getting easier to make your point by contacting companies, like those who have said they are going to boycott the oilsands, and then quickly back down because the silent majority is finally finding it's voice. Find your voice, stop being drowned out and dictated to by the radical, boisterous lefties.
When the hell is Spring coming??
