Friday Funnies: Taxes

After just doing my own taxes, I thought a few tax jokes might relieve some of the stress.

A Satisfied Taxpayer
=====================

Dear Internal Revenue Service:

On this April 15th tax return due date you will find enclosed my
2008 tax return showing that I owe $3,407.00 in taxes.

Please note the attached article from the USA Today newspaper,
dated 12 November, wherein you will see the Pentagon (Department
of Defense) is paying $171.50 per hammer and NASA has paid
$600.00 per toilet seat.

I am enclosing four (4) toilet seats (valued @ $2,400) and
six (6) hammers (valued @ $1,029), which I secured at Home Depot,
bringing my total remittance to $3,429.00. Please apply the
overpayment of $22.00 to the "Presidential Election Fund," as
noted on my return.

You can do this inexpensively by sending them one (1) 1.5 inch
Phillips Head screw (see aforementioned article from USA Today
newspaper detailing how H.U.D. pays $22.00 each for 1.5 inch
Phillips Head Screws). One screw is enclosed for your
convenience.

To recap my enclosures:
Four toilet seats
Six hammers
and
One screw

It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look
forward to paying it again next year.

Sincerely,
A Satisfied Taxpayer

Out of curiosity, I did.
A Mexican showed up with a lawnmower.

Is any explanation needed for this one??

Mindless game of the week....Puppy Fetch!

Where did spring go? Try to get out into the fresh air this weekend!

Taxes And Separation....

It only makes financial sense....My husband and I could have gotten refunds on our income tax of over $6000 it we did separate! Instead we paid even more to the government, but at least our taxes are now filed. We need a total overhaul of our tax system when it encourages couples to separate instead of getting married and raising a family.

Why do they insist that you file your returns separately when they calculate your taxes as a couple? I've even heard of a bunch of university guys living together that have had to sign a declaration that they are not romantically involved! Nutty.

No wonder the Americans were holding tea parties! For a sickening look into the lefty mind, watch this video:

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

I have never heard of Garofalo but if anyone is racist, she clearly is. She is steeped in leftist propaganda, and seriously needs some mental health intervention.

Interesting that the host let her spew like that without interruption. Who owns MSNBC? Well it appears that would be GE, and at their latest shareholders meeting they got an earful. If you have any GE shares it appears that holding or even buying more might be a good idea. You see cap and trade will be a huge money maker for this company. It's easy to see why they might be very pro-Obama as he supports the cap and trade idea.

"Now, most CEOs would have stopped NBC's corruption a long time ago, but Immelt may be looking for a major payoff," O'Reilly said. "According to reporting by the Washington Examiner, GE is heavily lobbying the Obama administration for bailout money. The company is also pushing for the proposed cap-and-trade program. Apparently GE has set up a joint venture it hopes would manage billions of dollars in cap-and-trade transactions should that corporate carbon tax pass Congress."

NBC has been actively promoting green issues and this revelation by O'Reilly happens to fall during the NBC Universal networks "Green is Universal" week.

"Now think about this ladies and gentlemen - a failing corporation, General Electric might reap billions of dollars if the Feds OK the carbon deal," O'Reilly said. "By the way, GE is already getting taxpayer bailout money for its financial unit. So it's not a stretch to assume Immelt would want to help President Obama as much as possible."

According to O'Reilly, the level of corruption is so big, it stands to make Watergate look small.

"This is obviously a major story - when a powerful corporation, which controls a major part of the American media, may be using its power and the airwaves to influence politics, in order to make money from government contracts," O'Reilly said. "That kind of corruption would make Watergate look small. We hope it is not true."

I can't get the fox news video to embed, try here, go to Fired Up.

This is old news, see this article from 2008.

The General Electric Unit Sale: Obama’s Energy Plan to the Rescue?


In that fox video was a clip about Barney Frank being uninvited to speak at a Washington university function.....hummm.... would that be the same function that Amero-Iggy went too?? I'm not sure, but Iggy is supposed to be meeting with Barney Frank. Is he really that politically tone deaf?

Beautiful Art Lost In The Australian Fires.

Take a break from politics.

I heard about this in an email months ago and it has remained with me. The art work is awe inspiring, the thought that most of this has been lost is so sad.



Thankfully the artist and his family got out of the fires safely. Interestingly enough, once the artist was allowed back onto the property, the remaining artwork was even more haunting then it had been before. Check out what it looks like after the fire.



I hope that they can rebuild it even better than it was before.

Snow Castle Walls!

The average Canadian works all day, comes home, watches the national and regional news, forms their opinion of the day from those sound bites, and turns the channel to hockey.

Only a political junkie would be interested in what our PM was actually up to, and if you are looking on the main pages of the media sites online, you might not find the real treasures, like our PM addressing the Jamaican parliament for the first time in history.

CTV covered the speech, but it does not appear anywhere on their main page, you need to google it to find it.

CTV covers PM's Speech Part One!

CTV covers PM's Speech Part Two!

Watch it, PM Harper did an excellent job of representing Canada, as the first Prime Minister from Canada to address the Jamaican government. This should be at least in the top ten stories the MSM is covering, but CTV does not even mention this historic event. Further, CTV changed the picture on this article. They went from this:



To this:



Someone must have told them that the spontaneous hug made PM Harper look too human, so they quickly replaced it.

Then I found this picture of Iggy, all that blood red and the black shadows gave me the creeps big time!



Yikes, liberals really are scary! Talk about gloom and doom, the walls are bleeding Liberal red and the black shadows seem to be devouring Iggy.

Why would CTV hide our Prime Ministers historic speech? Do they not understand that they need to appeal to ALL Canadians to survive? Their coverage of the hostage taking was abysmal given that all sorts of media were already there to cover PM Harper. No live coverage of the hostages, no live coverage of the PM's speech. Were they too busy sitting on the beach drinking Jamaican rum to actually cover either the hostage taking or PM Harper's speech to the Jamaican parliament?

Snow Castle Walls....what an amazing image PM Harper created.

The Hockey Stick Re-Found

Well the famous hockey stick analysis has been found again, and this time the data is actually factual.



Okay everyone start panicking like the global warmists! Oh wait, that's Canada's unemployment rate.

To all the lefties who think that PM Harper should have known this was going to happen, the graph clearly shows that the big jump didn't happen until December of 2008, and that the rise was catastrophic, to use lefty terms to scare everybody about their own shadows. Let's all start to run around like chickens with their heads cut off! The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

So if the original hockey stick graph portrayed global doom, what does our unemployment hockey stick mean? If this trend continues, by the year 2109, our unemployment rate will be 100%! YIKES! Grab your kids, some vegetable seeds and head for the hills! No one working will mean no government revenues......hey wait a second, maybe that's not such a bad thing. HA!

Seeing as the lefties function on emotions, this graph should scare the living daylights out of them. Expect more fear mongering by the MSM, who by the way are part of the reason that hockey stick is so high, by their own hand, they have sealed their destiny.

Here is an interesting graph that shows that both forestry and autos started to decline in 1999, funny how the majority Liberals never seemed to notice that little trend at the time!


What bothers me is that the Liberals are blaming this downturn on the Conservative government and after being willing to form a coalition government to force MORE spending, are now scaring Canadians about a supposed $80 billion, "structural" deficit, that they conveniently forget to mention is a projection over 5 years.

Lefties are good at fear inducing graphs and emotional pleas to save ____ (fill in the blank) but they lack one of the most important political drivers of all....common sense.

Protests That Would Work!

The TEA parties worked because it was the average American protesting, not against a political party, but against a policy they don't like, and one that hits them in the pocket book.

Most protests are lefty special interest groups that the mainstream voters could care less about, and mainly serve to promote lefty ideals, not necessarily what the average taxpayer cares about. The average person has tuned these protests out. Who cares anymore? Polar bears protesting global warming, gay parades, protests for mandatory daycare, and feminist pro-abortion marches, all leave the average Canadian, cold.

If you want to successfully protest, make sure hits home with the silent majority, and is easy for everyone to participate in, without having to go out and march in the streets. Try these two protests.

Bank fees - pick one day for everyone to stop using their credit and debit cards. If you need money, actually go into the bank to get it. Using an ATM machine is a big no no. Can you imagine how our banking system would react? It's not illegal to not use your debit card, nor is it illegal to walk into a branch of your bank and ask for the cash from your account. Every Canadian could participate without having to take time off work.

Afghanistan Rape Law - All women could show their support for the Afghanistan women by staying at home for one day. Think about your work place, imagine no women there for a day. HA! Thought so, half the work force is female, why can't they go on strike for a day? No female flight attendants, dental assistants, cashiers, teachers, daycare workers, lawyers, engineers, it would be catastrophic. If women want to go outside, they would have to call their husbands home from work to accompany them, and the company would have to let them go. Wouldn't that be way more effective than marching down streets blocking traffic and ticking people off?

One day, that is all it would take, and the silent majority would make it's point.

If you are going to protest, make sure you are appealing to the average Canadian, not just your special narrow interest.

Autistic Child Gets A Special Friend!

Most of you know that our family fosters "Dogs With Wings". Here is the reason why we do it.



The Edmonton Sun has Darren and his new buddy Caper on the front page today, and an excellent article on page three.

Me and my shadow!

Six-year-old Darren Mulcahey and his new family pet are inseparable.

Caper, a 19-month-old black lab, is tethered to the autistic Spruce Grove boy anytime he needs to be kept out of harm's way.

The pooch, specially trained as a watchful companion, will help keep Darren - who has a compulsive obsession with opening and closing doors - within close reach by guiding Darren around public places, following Darren's parents' commands.

"There's been times going to Rona or Home Depot, and if you turn your back for a second to look at something, he'll take off," said Gavin Mulcahey, Darren's father.

That little boy is much safer now because of his dog Caper. The parents can have peace of mind when they know the dog is with Darren. The dog is just happy to have a job to do and people who love him.

The parents of autistic children here in Alberta have been very supportive of the work that Dogs with Wings does for their children. It is an amazing partnership, a real win-win situation. So, will we be able to give Rigger up when the time comes? Yes, with tears of course, but with joy knowing he is destined to help someone who truly needs him.

Caper has been trained by Dogs with Wings - a non-profit training school that produces dogs for the blind, as well as the physically and mentally challenged - to act as an anchor for Darren, said the organization's director of training.

All Gavin and wife Carmen have to do when their son tries to bolt is tell Caper to sit.
Click here to find out more!

'WON'T MOVE'

"We can pull that tether system in every which way, and the dog won't move until its told to," said training director Elisa Irlam.

Caper is also trained to be an emotional anchor - a calming influence on Darren.

"(Darren) sits with the dog and stays put. It's quite amazing," said Gavin.

"He thinks he's looking after the dog, but it's actually the other way around."

"I had to do some banking the other day. It look 10, 15 minutes and there was no trouble," he said.

And the work will continue for years, as Caper now belongs to the Mulcahey family and will guide Darren as long as need be.

Think of how stressful it is for the parents of an autistic child. It's hard enough raising a child as is, but add a disability to the mix, and it makes life just a little bit tougher. I have seen how an autistic child will interact with the dog, they open up and they take the responsibility of keeping the dog safe very seriously.

Gavin's hope is Caper's influence may help combat the anti-social and high-stress effects of autism, paving the way for independent living for Darren later in life.

"People will always want to talk about the dog. Hopefully (Darren) will see" the importance of socializing, said Gavin.

However, all this hope comes at a price - about $30,000 per dog for training.

To pay forward the favour to other families in need, Gavin is hosting a second-annual poker tournament April 26 at the River Cree Resort and Casino at 2 p.m.

Call Dogs with Wings at 780-944-8011 or e-mail Gavin at gjmulcahey@yahoo.ca.

Here is a fun opportunity to support Dogs with Wings if you live in the Edmonton area. Who knows, you might even get to meet Rigger at a poker table! I warn you, he plays a mean paw of poker!

Friday Funnies: Jumping Trolls!

Was Easter only last week? It already seems like forever ago! Oh well, it's Friday, time to relax, have a few chuckles and forget about lefties (they have no sense of humour, they are too busy trying to take over the world to laugh)!

The Four Cats

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.
The first man was an Engineer,

The second man was an Accountant,

The third man was a Chemist, and

The fourth man was a Government Employee.
To show off, the Engineer called his cat, "T-square, do your stuff."

T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle.

Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.

But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said,

"Spreadsheet, do your stuff."

Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies.

Everyone agreed that was good.

But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Measure, do your stuff."

Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop.

Everyone agreed that was pretty good.

Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said, "What can your cat do?"

The Government Employee called his cat and said, "CoffeeBreak, do your stuff."

CoffeeBreak jumped to his feet.......

Ate the cookies........

Drank the milk.......

Sh*t on the paper........

Screwed the other three cats.......

Claimed he injured his back while doing so.......

Filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions.......

Put in for Workers Compensation................and

Went home for the rest of the day on sick leave............

AND THAT, MY FRIEND IS WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT !

A LITTLE THREE YEAR OLD BOY IS SITTING ON THE TOILET

HIS MOTHER THINKS HE HAS BEEN IN THERE TOO LONG, SO SHE GOES IN TO SEE WHAT'S UP

THE LITTLE BOY IS GRIPPING ON TO THE TOILET SEAT WITH HIS LEFT HAND AND
HITTING HIMSELF ON TOP OF THE HEAD WITH HIS RIGHT HAND

HIS MOTHER SAYS: "BILLY, ARE YOU ALRIGHT? YOU'VE BEEN IN HERE FOR AWHILE."

BILLY SAYS: "I'M FINE, MOMMY. I JUST HAVEN'T GONE 'DOODY' YET."

MOTHER SAYS: "OK, YOU CAN STAY HERE A FEW MORE MINUTES. BUT, BILLY, WHY
ARE YOU HITTING YOURSELF ON THE HEAD?"

BILLY SAYS: "WORKS FOR KETCHUP."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday. The
Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"

I thought this was the BEST idea.

*Dear Mr.President,***

*Patriotic retirement:***

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force;

pay them $1 million each severance with stipulations:

1) They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry
fixed.

3) They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage- Housing Crisis fixed.

All this and it's still cheaper than the "bailout".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May You Always Make The Right Moves....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My own special Friday funny! This just happened tonight, and I'm still chuckling about it.

Phone rings, it's a charity calling. They want $1 a day to feed the school children who can not concentrate in school because their poor stomachs are growling so loud (this fact is repeated about 5 times in two minutes). They need food and it will only cost me $365 a year!

I say no thanks, I've already given to the charity of my choice.

They say, well ANYTHING you can donate would be appreciated.

So, I tell them I would be more than willing to help them grow their own food in a garden, and that I only needed some land and those poor starving kids to help me plant a vegetable garden.

The caller told me she would pass me to her supervisor. I can clearly hear her telling her supervisor that she had someone who wanted to actually GROW the food for the kids! They were pretty much thinking they had a nut case on the line, and laughing about it. The supervisor came on and asked me what question I had.

I told him I wanted to help those poor starving kids by planting them a garden. He referred me to a web site. End of call. They were just happy to get rid of the gardening nutcase, and my money is still in my pocket. Win-Win for both of us.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, your mindless game....jumping trolls! HA!!! This was too funny for me not to play, my little trolls kept getting eaten by the owls.

Have a great Friday night and/or Saturday morning! Remember, life is yours to enjoy, so go out tomorrow and smell spring! To all you basement dwellers, you need to actually go outside to smell spring!

CNN Reporter AFTER The Cameras Are Off!

We have all seen the Chicago Tea Party video with the disgraceful CNN reporter, but have you seen what happened to her AFTER the CNN cameras were off?

Watch this, it starts with the video we have all seen, but after she has shut off the cameras, the crowd gives her a piece of their minds. That father with the baby has a few choice words for her.



Guess the MSM has forgotten that they aren't the only ones with video cameras! The arrogant CNN reporter thought she could frame the message, I'm sure CNN was patting itself on the back knowing they had distorted the true reason for the tea parties, and then we get the whole picture from a group with a video camera, turning the tables on them. HA! Too funny!

They also overstepped the bounds of reporting by constantly using the term "teabagging" which only a sexual pervert would have known the meaning of, but that's your lefties for you, it's all about power, money and sex.

UPDATE: My buddy Ardvark pointed me to this little video of Susan, she is such a fair and unbiased reporter. Well you decide.....

For Their Children!

Immigration is a sticky issue especially in a recession. Being that Canada is the most tolerant nation in the world, the waiting list to enter our country is huge. How do we make sure that those who enter our country are going to assimilate into our culture, and not expect us to assimilate into their old cultures, that they have supposedly left behind?

Listen to this podcast, some very important points are made. Come to Canada because you want to make Canada your new home, not a passport of convenience.

Remember the 2006 rescue of Lebanese-Canadians? Remember how quickly those 30,000 Lebanese-Canadians returned to that war torn country Lebanon? Remember how PM Harper waited for the first boat to arrive so that he could fly them home to Canada? Remember how they figuratively spat in his face? I do. I was disgusted. It still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Recently I talked to two immigrants, one from Pakistan and one born in Afghanistan, both were studying to get their citizenship. One is a father of five children, the other is a young lady. When I asked them, separately why their families had immigrated to Canada, both answered, the children. They both understood that Canada was a safe place for their children, both are busy learning English and so happy to be here that they never want to go back to their old lives. These are the immigrants we want, not Canadians of convenience.

I support smart immigration, like Jason is proposing. We can't help them all, but we can welcome those who are willing to respect our laws and through education of the very children they want to give a better life to, they will all become true Canadians.

For their children!

We Are With You Manitoba!

Who hasn't watched a waterfall and felt the power, beauty and force of it's nature. A river can be beautiful until it rises beyond it's banks and threatens our homes. That's when it becomes personal and devastating. I was impressed that the Prime Minister of Canada would spend so much time viewing the damage in Manitoba.

Harper promises assistance for flood-hit Manitoba

Prime Minister Stephen Harper toured flood-stricken areas in southern Manitoba on Tuesday, and said the federal government would help the province recover from damage left by the rising Red River.

"The federal government stands ready to assist in any way that is needed ... as the situation unfolds," Harper told reporters in Winnipeg. "Anything that's needed, the people of Canada will be there to help the people of Manitoba."

I second PM Harper, if you need us, we will come! Read the comments on the article. The interesting thing is that most comments were pro-Harper, and they took the whiners to task. Funny how the comments were shut down really early, also funny is that CTV didn't happen to have any video of PM Harper that they could post on the site. Guess they could care less about the people of Manitoba because they couldn't bother to have an actual camera there, but I clearly remember two Liberal PM's touring the floods because they showed it to us endlessly on TV. PM Harper gets one picture and no video. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

Let me inform CTV of one little fact, if you show no video of the PM, I will not be able to watch those videos, and your advertisers are going to suffer because no one will be watching those ads you post before the actual video. You had 7 videos of experts etc., I clicked on NONE of them, so no ads watched, therefore no revenue. Oh, why do I bother, you guys figure it out. $$$$ lost because of pigheaded liberal media supporters, hint....think jobs people.

My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to the people of Manitoba fighting the floods. Our basement flooded in the 100 year and 200 year storms that hit Edmonton, it took months to get everything back to normal, but we did it.

Remember that things can be replaced, but lives are precious. Stay safe and guard your family first, then worry about your belongings.

It's An Infestation!

Lately my blog has had more comments from lefty trolls than it has from my regular posters. If you object to the term troll, here is the definition:

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

Here is a link from a post about an Alberta farmer facing 7 charges for trying to protect his property from thieves.

The comments start off calling me on my spelling, and go downhill from there. My solution to a troll infestation is comment moderation. Ardvark mentioned how my blog seems to attract trolls, and I told him I didn't want to go to comment moderation because it stops the flow of a good discussion. Well yesterdays comments were anything but a good discussion. It was childish and served only the purpose of the trolls to make the discussion irrelevant and off-topic.

Freedom of speech is next to our right to own property, and in Canada we have neither. Go to Rabble sometimes and post something Conservative, see how long you last until they boot you, they don't worry about free speech, the lefties only want speech that they agree with, anything else, they BAN you. Funny how lefties love to BAN everything. I guess they think if they BAN everything they disagree with, it will be a perfect world and conservative ideas will not exist anymore.

This is a perfect example of how property rights have been distorted by lefty organizations.



Home ownership is NOT a right! It is your right to protect your property, just not in Canada, where property rights are not in the constitution. If the city decides that the new LRT line is going through your property, you have no rights. They offer you "fair market" value, and you have to take it or get evicted.

So, I consider my blog, my property, and if I want to kick squatters off that property, I can and I will. SHOO!!!

Farmers Are Rebels and Vigilanties!

Now that Easter is over, I can go back to reporting from my point of view whatever is bugging me, and yes, lefties bug me constantly. Here are some Easter headlines:

Sudan kidnappers threaten to kill Cdn aid worker, colleague

Sudan kidnappers.

U.S. Navy rescues captain held by Somali pirates

Somali pirates.

Ottawa under stress as Tamil protest enters day 6 (Calling CTV spell check is easy to use! Check out the first photo heading: Tamil protesters want the Canadian government to pressure Sri Lankan offcials to permanantly end a seasfire Sheesh, now the seas are on fire? Has anyone told the eco-nuts?)

Sri Lankan Tamil protesters.

And finally, right here in Alberta.....

Vigilantism cheered: A hero in handcuffs

Alberta Vigilantism.

A vigilante is a person who violates the law in order to exact what they believe to be justice from criminals, because they think that the criminal will not be caught or will not be sufficiently punished by the legal system.

Several groups and individuals have been labeled as vigilantes by various historians and media. Vigilantes have been central to several creative fictional works and are often depicted as being heroes and retaliatory against wrongdoers.

Members of community watch programs and others who use legal means of bringing people to justice are not considered vigilantes. For example, in 1979 Curtis Sliwa founded the Guardian Angels in New York City, a recognized crime fighting organization that now has chapters in many other cities. See also citizen's arrest.

So, all the rural community needs to do is start up it's own version of the Guardian Angels! This is something to think about, did the community have a rural crime watch in place? If not, they should get busy and start one.

The point. We have Sudan kidnappers, Somali pirates, Sri Lankan protesters supporting a terrorist organization, and the only one being called a criminal and charged, is a farmer protecting his property. His name has been released and reported in the press, but the guy who actually stole the ATV and truck has not been named, I wonder why? I used to respect the RCMP and I wrote most of the negative reports off as typical lefty pandering to the criminals, but lately I am starting to think that Alberta would be better off with our own provincial police force.

Notice that these criminals are never called criminals or terrorists, except for one poor Alberta farmer. I hope he goes for trial by his peers, which would be 12 farmers if our justice system worked properly. Remember when the Liberals jailed our farmers for selling their own wheat?

Thursday's demonstration was organized by a minority of rebels, according to the federal minister responsible for the wheat board, Ralph Goodale. Most farmers support the current regulations, he said during an interview in Ottawa.

Notice how Goodale had no problem calling our western farmers REBELS, not protesters!!! Now they are being called VIGILANTES, not ordinary citizens protecting their property! Wow, Alberta really is the wild west! Guess that's why I feel safer here, we know the difference between terrorists, criminals, gangs and ordinary citizens.

Oh Happy Day!! Happy Easter!

Spring is a wonderful time of rebirth, for all people, no matter their faith. Saturday families were out walking and enjoying the beautiful weather. Funny how Good Friday is always dreary and cold. We even had our first thunderstorm of the year roll through to remind us of the importance of how tiny we are in this huge universe. I love thunderstorms, and we get the best ones on the prairies, the power of the thunder and lightening is awe inspiring.

Easter Sunday is a renewal of our faith and a joyous time for all creatures. It's a time to sing and rejoice. Even though it was only a movie, you have to admit that this video gives hope.




This is an interesting video about how a prison in the Philippines keeps their prisoners engaged. Somehow, I don't think this would work in our maximum security prisons.


Easter would not be complete without the Easter Bunny! This one is non-traditional, but cute!

Easter Bunny Rapper!

Everything I Need to Know, I Learned From the Easter Bunny...

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Walk softly and carry a big carrot.

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.

There's no such thing as too much candy.

All work and no play can make you a basket case.

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.

Keep your paws off other people's jellybeans.

Good things come in small sugar-coated packages.

The best things in life are still sweet and gooey.

Jasmine, An Inspiration for Saturday

Good Friday is always a day for reflection in our house. A day to remember why Jesus died for all of us, and how we are living our lives. So, I want to share this wonderful example of how animals can get along way better than humans. I ask you, who are the compassionate ones, animals or humans?

Meet Jasmine, the rescue dog who has become a surrogate mother for the 50th time

When Jasmine the abandoned greyhound arrived at a wildlife sanctuary shivering and desperate for food, she needed all the love in the world to nurse her back to full health.

Now it appears the kindness and patience shown to her has rubbed off - for the rescue dog has become a surrogate mother for the 50th time.

Seven-year-old Jasmine is currently caring for tiny Bramble, an 11-week-old roe deer fawn found semi-conscious in a nearby field.

She cuddles up to her to keep her warm, showers her with affection and makes sure nothing is matted in her fur. In short, the perfect foster mum.

But then again, she has had plenty of practice, having cared for five fox cubs, four badger cubs, 15 chicks, eight guinea pigs, two stray puppies and even 15 rabbits.

Some people could not believe this could be possible and some thought this picture had been photo shopped:



Snopes checked it out, and everything is true. They have more pictures and a fuller story.

They named her Jasmine, and they started to think about finding her an adoptive home.

But Jasmine had other ideas. No-one remembers now how it began, but she started welcoming all Animal arrivals at the sanctuary. It wouldn't matter if it was a puppy, a fox cub, a rabbit or, any other lost or hurting Animal, Jasmine would peer into the box or cage and, where possible, deliver a welcoming lick.

Geoff relates one of the early incidents. "We had two puppies that had been abandoned by a nearby railway line. One was a Lakeland Terrier cross and another was a Jack Russell Doberman cross. They were tiny when they arrived at the centre and Jasmine approached them and grabbed one by the scruff of the neck in her mouth and put him on the settee. Then she fetched the other one and sat down with them, cuddling them."

"But she is like that with all of our animals, even the rabbits. She takes all the stress out of them and it helps them to not only feel close to her but to settle into their new surroundings.

Just another example of why I love greyhounds. They are the most amazing dogs; smart, gentle, quiet, and they love kids. Considering the lives many of them endure at the tracks, it is truly an indication of the heart these dogs have that they remain gentle companions, of not just humans but other living things that come into their lives.

After the sorrow of yesterday, I hope this serves as a reminder that we can all get along when it really matters.

The Fire In Your Gut!

Meeting PM Harper today, made a huge impression on me. You see, lately, I’ve been blogging, but without “heart”. There has been no fire in my gut. Here is my journey that led to my actually meeting the Prime Minister of Canada.

I have always been a Conservative voter, maybe it’s the air out here in Alberta, or maybe it’s how you are raised to believe in yourself and your abilities. So all I ever did was go and vote for whichever Conservative was running either provincially or federally. I thought that was the extent of my duty as a Canadian.

When Mulroney crashed and burned, I found the Reform Party. I voted for the various versions that ensued; it didn’t bother me that they were not in power, because they represented my views better than any other party out there. All I did was vote, I never engaged.

Then Adscam hit, and I woke up. I realized that my inattention had allowed the Liberals to take power, and keep it even though they proved to be corrupt. The backroom boys were running my beloved Canada. I didn’t like it, not one little bit. That’s when I got politically involved. I slept through the 2004 election. Who was Stephen Harper? I didn’t know, except I remembered some blonde bimbo wanting to be the Conservative party leader, and that this Stephen Harper had beat her. Thank goodness.

The Liberal Adscam scandal put the fire into my gut. I emailed my MP, James Rajotte, and he promptly invited me to his volunteer appreciation BBQ. The rest is history. I became engaged, active and now I do more than just vote for a party, I actively participate in the Conservative party. My reward was meeting the Prime Minister of Canada today.

It put the fire back into my gut.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is an exceptional individual under tremendous pressure in a minority government. He is up against the Liberals, NDP and Bloc, all left leaning parties who tried to band together to bring his freshly elected government down, against the will of Canadians. He has to put up with a left leaning, aggressive media, and he also has to try to keep Conservatives united. Only an outstanding individual could accomplish that and still run a country. Let me repeat that for all the dissatisfied conservatives….RUN A COUNTRY!

In 2006, I door knocked in the cold at least 10 times to get the Conservatives elected into government. In the last election, I door knocked once, then made excuses. There was no fire in my gut.

Conservatives like me need to wake up. The Liberals crave power; they will lie, cheat and steal to get it back. We cannot be smug thinking the Conservatives will get re-elected. Most importantly we need to get that old Reform fire back in our guts.

An exceptional man is running our country. We see him constantly derided by the press and the opposition. I get lefty trolls on my site daily, sneering and deriding our Prime Minister or anything Conservative. They personally attack me, and commenter’s on my blog. We are saturated by lefty propaganda, daily. They feed it to us morning, noon and night. I am sick of it.

The world respects our Prime Minister, our troops are finally respected instead of sneered at because of this PM, and yet Canadians mindlessly march towards socialism, thinking pensions (CAW) should be guaranteed by governments, and that jobs should be for life.

We have forgotten what we stand for….Canada. We need to get that fire back in our guts.

Rigger Meets PM Harper!

What a day Rigger and I had! We got to meet PM Harper! I was very impressed with him. He is very down to earth and for all you dog lovers, I have it straight from the Prime Minister that he loves dogs and would someday, like to get a Labrador.



The first thing he wanted to do was pet Rigger. During the picture of the Edmonton Leduc participants, (edited from the picture because I do not have permission to post their pictures), PM Harper made sure the photographer got Riggers attention. This photo is by my friend, Ardvark. Thanks Ardvark, it was really nice meeting you. He can now attest to the fact that I am a real person, and that I am a female. He put together the fact that I had a "Dogs with Wings" dog with me, and that I was from Edmonton Leduc, so he came up and introduced himself. And here I thought I was all anonymous and everything, sheesh! It's going to be fun now because I can put a face to Ardvark when I read his blog.

The event was really enjoyable because you were in a room full of Conservatives, with not a single troll in sight. With only about 150 people in the room, and an hour and a half delay because of the protesters, not a single person complained. I met Rona Ambrose and Peter Goldring, both loved Rigger. You could walk up to anyone there and just start talking, of course Rigger is an excellent icebreaker, as my 15 year old son knows.

The Tamil protesters were out in force (10), with their terrorist flags waving, not a single Canadian flag in sight, it was frankly disgusting to see. How they expect Canadians to support their cause is beyond me. How they found out about this meeting is a mystery too, because it was thrown together in 2 days by the organizer, I only found out about it last night.

The Prime Minister gave a short speech, then met everyone for photos. He got in some good shots about Iffy changing his speeches from province to province, issue to issue, and how Liberals are all about getting back into power and only need two positive polls to force an election. PM Harper was very relaxed. He makes great eye contact, and is obviously very comfortable with who he is and what he wants to accomplish. I can picture sitting down with him over a beer and a good curling game and having a nice relaxing time. The whole gathering was very casual but reaffirming for Conservatives.

Rigger of course is oblivious to the fact that he met a very special person today, he thinks all people are special, especially if they pay attention to him. There was a real seeing eye dog there and Rigger ignored him, which is what he is supposed to do. So Rigger was the star of the day, and he doesn't even know it.

Liberals NOW Support Mulroney!

Well it appears that the Prime Minister has called the Liberals on their fake support of Mulroney.

OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper waded into his party's internal spat over the treatment of Brian Mulroney on Wednesday, turning his verbal fire on Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff and reminding critics the former prime minister had "demanded" a public inquiry into his dealings with German-born lobbyist Karlheinz Schreiber.

Mr. Harper defended his government's handling of the "difficult issue" during a news conference in Moncton, N.B., where he also charged that Mr. Ignatieff, who this week accused Mr. Harper of not showing proper respect for Mr. Mulroney, has "absolutely no moral compass" for commenting on government conduct and ethics.

...."First of all, Mr. Ignatieff and the Liberal party -- when this matter first broke -- were practically demanding that I throw Mr. Mulroney in prison without a trial. Now they are out there pretending that somehow they are his best friends and they don't agree with any of this," Mr. Harper said.

Demanding they throw Mulroney in jail, how about wanting to hang him?? Remember this?


Hang him, hang him high! That was the Liberal MP Shawn Murphy from PEI wanting Mulroney hung, but now the Liberals are bleeding Conservative blue for him? Sending him birthday wishes? Hypocrites. You slimy little people, you started this whole thing by visiting Karl in prison and cooking up a deal to keep him in Canada, then your MP's hammered the government to call an inquiry. They did just that, but you were not happy.

The Liberal Chairman of the ethics committee Paul Szabo, who had personally visited Schrieber in jail, a clear conflict of interest, called a witch hunt on Mulroney and proceeded to shut down anyone who disputed him.



Liberals are now supposedly close friends and supporters of the very person they wanted to hang. Funny how Liberals are still using this issue to try and score political points. The MSM is obviously too stupid to investigate this matter, or even show any balance in reporting.

Hate to break it to you guys/gals no-one cares about a 20 year old scandal. Conservatives reduced the PC party to two seats because of it, why haven't the Liberal party voters reduced the Liberals to two seats because of Adscam? Where is that 34 million the Liberal party stole from Canadians while in government? Funny 34 million against 240,000 and Mulroney is the big bad guy? Typical Liberal VALUES!

UPDATE: MP Szabo has commented on this post.

Correction. The assertion that I met with Schreiber while he was in jail is untrue. The only time I have ever seen him is when he appeared before me at the Ethics Committee hearings.

I would appreciate it if someone would let me know the source of this false accusation or at least ask the source what proof they have. Then you will know they cannot be trusted.

In Praise Of Teens!

First, I want to thank my two sons for being trouble free teens. Thanks boys! They respect us as their parents, but in return we respect them as individuals. It's a very difficult time in their lives with their bodies changing, and their need for independence fighting their desire to remain coddled. They want to grow up, just not too fast, and that's okay by me!

It's funny how the liberals have worked so hard to reduce restrictions in our society and yet, teenagers are going back to the days of personal responsibility and moral living.

The image of the rebellious teen, experimenting with sex and drugs and alcohol at a rate that worries their parents, needs to be revised to reflect what has become an increasingly virtuous demographic, according to a sweeping new survey of Canadian youth.

Today's teens are rewarding their vigilant parents with good behaviour: They are less likely to smoke, drink or take drugs than they were eight years ago. And 56% of teens have never had sex, up from 51% in 2000. In fact, the weekly sexual activity of teenagers is about on par with that of adults over 60.

Yikes! This is not what the liberals expected, what happened to free love and drugs? How can children from divorced families think that marriage and kids are preferable to free sex and drugs?

When it comes to family life, many expect they will cohabitate before they marry, but 91% plan to tie the knot.

Almost half want two children, more than a quarter of them want three children, 10% want four children and 4% want at least five children. As well, 90% of teenage boys and 90% of teenage girls expect they will stay with the same partner for life.

91% plan to marry and stay with the same partner for life? What about those swingers clubs? Free sex without worry because abortion is so easy. I don't think feminists are going to like these stats very much. Obviously our schools are not lefty enough! HA! Not only are they failing to convince teenagers that the hippy days of free sex and drugs are here again, they are failing to destroy the family unit. Remember it is the feminists who are all for "choice", wonder what they are going to do about these female teens choosing to get married, have babies and stay with their partner for life?

The feminists are going to have to get shriller and more militant because their message is just not getting across to their target audience. They will be screaming for daycare because they know you have to get them young to indoctrinate them for life. Maybe if feminists would have stopped killing their babies, they would have some teenagers to support their agenda today. They are dying a slow death by abortion.

Clearly the days of burning your bras, doing drugs and killing your babies are history. Our younger generation is looking towards graduating from university, getting good paying jobs, having meaningful life long relationships and bringing their children into this world as part of those stable relationships.

It appears the day of the feminist is dead, and the day of the family is back!

Honourable Return For Fallen American Soldiers!

Returning American fallen will now be repatriated in public if the family wishes for it to be public. This is a positive step for families who would like to see their loved ones honoured in this way.

Media Coverage of Returning War Dead Allowed
After receiving permission from family members, the military opened Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to the media for the return of the body of Air Force Staff Sgt. Phillip Myers.

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. -- Media witnessed a Sunday night ceremony for the arrival of a Virginia airman killed in Afghanistan, marking the end of an 18-year ban on news coverage of returning U.S. war dead.

After receiving permission from family members, the military opened Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to the media for the return of the body of Air Force Staff Sgt. Phillip Myers of Hopewell, Va.

....

Under the new policy, families of fallen servicemen will decide whether to allow media coverage of their return. If several bodies arrive on the same flight, news coverage will be allowed only for those whose families have given permission.

It sounds like the American military has been paying attention to what happens in Canada. Here is a new video of our last four fallen heroes arriving home. May they be the last.



Watch for the hands waving from the cars. I am sure that the families feel some measure of relief seeing all the people out on every bridge, thank you Ontario!



It is nice to know that the Americans will now be able to respect their fallen like Canada is able to. May it give the families a small bit of peace and comfort.

The Big Shake UP!

Ezra is doing a great job of making the HRC's look like the fools they are. Now we need to press our provincial governments to shut them down or reform them.

Alberta seems to be leading the way. We will see if the changes are cosmetic or radical. I'm voting for radical.

I would like to thank Ezra for his defense of our rights. He is a true defender of human rights. I would also like to thank his family for helping him to be what we know him to be, a true defender of our rights.

If you missed his interrogation, here is the first segment;



Watch all the Youtube videos and listen carefully to what Ezra is saying.

How can you not agree with his position? Buy his book, "Shakedown", to understand more about our human rights commissions.

Go Ezra!

You Wake Up From A Deep Sleep...

Because you hear someone starting up your car/ATV, what do you do if the nearest RCMP detachment is miles away?

a. Go back to sleep
b. Go after the guy
c. Wait for the RCMP
d. None of the above, the guy is obviously a disadvantaged person who needs your vehicle much more than you ever will, and hey, he deserves it because of his tough life.

If you picked d. you are a lefty bleeding heart who has never had any run-ins with the law, or you are a lefty bleeding heart who has a kid in jail.

If you picked b. you are a knuckle dragging neanderthal who supports gun ownership and believes that your property is actually yours.

City slickers think crime does not happen in rural areas, they also think meat comes from the supermarket frozen food section. They think gun BANS will stop gun killings. They lock their doors and their minds, they ignore the fact that their own kids are the problem, and they blame the government for not protecting them while refusing to co-operate with them in crime investigations.

Rural people out of necessity are a close knit community. If something bad happens, they band together and solve the problem. They do not think the RCMP will protect them, but they do know that they can protect themselves.

Enter the criminal and the RCMP.

An Alberta farmer who is facing charges after police say he chased and shot at an alleged thief last Thursday has people from across the province rallying to his defence.

Brian Knight was charged with seven offences, including assault and criminal negligence, after police say he took the law into his own hands when he thought someone was stealing his All-Terrain Vehicle.

This is an indication of how sick our liberal society has become. Start a swingers club, no problem. Chase a guy who is stealing your property, you get charged. Funny thing is, we all know that Brian Knight is being charged, but the police are keeping the name of the REAL criminal under wraps. So, they protect the criminal and vilify the homeowner who was the innocent victim.

Our justice system is royally screwed up. Think about what the law abiding Knight is going through right now. Think about the expense of defending himself. He would have never been in this position if a criminal had not tried to steal from him, but he did and he is already out on bail.

We never used to lock our doors, but the criminals have made it so that we have to, we even have a bat right behind our door encase someone tries to get into our house. As kids we disappeared all day and our parents never worried. Now, we don't even dare let them walk to school by themselves.

Do you feel that vise around your life, that feeling of disgust with our justice system? If there was ever a case where we, the suffering majority, should rise up and protest, this is it.

I hope that Knight chooses a trial by jury, because there is not a jury in Alberta that will convict him of anything major.

You Know Those Poor Seals?

Those seals that need us to save them from hunters who shoot them? Those seals that are just sooo cute that Canada's seal hunters are labeled as the bad guys? How about penguins, how cute are they? Now who would ever think of hunting those little cuties?



Watch this video to find out. WARNING, graphic violence, not for the fainthearted. I am serious, this video is very hard for any animal lover to watch.

For some reason they do not allow embedding. I wonder if it was at the request of the environmental/WWF organizations, who didn't want the seals to be revealed for what they really are...predators! Watch it if you can. Funny how the people protesting the seal hunt totally ignore this side of the seals. The seal plays with the penguin for over 20 minutes before it kills it, and our seal hunt is inhuman??

Oh, and let's not forget about PETA, the dog and cat killers.

Animal lovers worldwide now have access to more than a decade’s worth of proof that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) kills thousands of defenseless pets at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. Since 1998, PETA has opted to “put down” 21,339 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens instead of finding homes for them.

Bunch of hypocrites. They are a true picture of lefties. Yell and scream about injustices by a group of seal hunters just trying to survive, yet kill animals in your own care, and it's no biggy. It makes me sick!

Friday Funnies: Blonde Paint Job!

Blonde paint job
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.

"Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"
The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."

A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. "Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."

Jesus and the Robber
One night a robber broke into a home and heard a voice say, "Jesus is watching you!" while he rumagged through the desk.

He replied, "Who said that?!"

Once again he heard the same thing, "Jesus is watching you!"

The robber looked around the room only to see a parrot. He asked the parrot what its name was. The parrot replied, "Cornelius."

The robber said, "What kind of a name is that?! Who names a parrot that?!"

The parrot said, "The same person who named that rottweiler behind you Jesus!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the reason my Friday funnies are short tonight. I spent most of the evening going from this:


To this:


Check out those speakers! Yup it's a 24' iMac. The learning curve is going to be interesting.

Have a great weekend. If my posts are garbled and disjointed for the next little while, it's because of the big switch from a PC to a Mac! So far, so good. These old eyes are loving the big screen with the over sized writing! I consider the fact that I was able to download some pictures and create this post a big step forward. Now if I can only get used to the fact that the min/max/close buttons are on the left side instead of the right, and that I do not have the right click on my mouse anymore, I might survive this new experience!

G20 Leaders Respect PM Harper!

Amazing how PM Harper misses a photo-op and the G20 leaders quickly arrange a new one. It made international news, and had President Obama shaking PM Harper's hand.



Nice to see a bit of fun was had and all to the benefit of Canada. PM Harper did an excellent job of representing Canada. It is a real feather in our caps that the recommendations that Canada and India put forward were accepted by the G20. Not that the Canadian media noticed it. What silly sniveling babies. They thought showing PM Harper in a bad light by missing the photo-op they would score points at home, turns out most Canadians could care less, they have mostly tuned the media out, that's why the MSM revenues are dropping.

Harper misses G20 group photo, gets 2nd chance

Forget the economy, the big question Thursday at the G20 summit is: Where was Prime Minister Stephen Harper for the group photo?

Was he really, as he claims, being briefed by his officials on the draft G20 communique?

Or was he de-briefing himself "in the loo?" as first reported by the BBC.

Because Harper missed the group picture, the whole routine had to be restaged about an hour later.

The poor Canadian MSM, they had to make a huge story out of a missed photo-op. Read the comments, most posters tell the MSM to grow up.

What could have been an interesting story would have been what Laureen and the kids were up to. What a great story that would have made. Nope, the media sat back and whined about how they were getting no interviews with PM Harper, so they sat in the corner sucking their thumbs. The liberal loving media are just like Iggy, it's all about me, me, me. If they have to make Canada look bad on the international stage to make PM Harper look bad, they will do everything they can to make it so, they hate Conservatives that much.

Too bad this whole episode actually made PM Harper look more human, not like the robot they try to portray. Too bad President Obama (their idol) made a point of acknowledging PM Harper's presence at the second photo-op, arranged especially because PM Harper had been missed. Too bad the lefty media made themselves look like fools by disrespecting our Prime Minister.

Too bad for lefties that is, they are the ones left looking like fools.

Even Slaves Had More Value!

Yesterday only one female MP, from the NDP stood up and asked about the new law in Afghanistan against women and what she did was blame the Conservative government and our troops. Minister Stockwell Day respectfully told her where to go!



I talked to a young Muslim woman the other day. Her family moved from Saudi Arabia to Canada so she could have more freedom. Even here, in Canada, with liberal parents, she can not let it be known that she has met a Muslim male that she really likes. Even here, she is confined and not really free.

Let us “imagine” a world where ALL females band together in an all out protest against the treatment of women around the world. Think about it seriously.

Imagine!

Fadwa has beautiful almond shaped eyes and thick, beautiful hair, which she keeps covered. She is to be married to someone her parents have picked for her. If she does not obey, she might be murdered in an honour killing. She could even be killed for not covering her hair at school.

Abigail has been raised in a religious cult, and will be married to an older man who already has multiple wives. She will be more of a slave than a wife, but she knows no other life, and has no means to escape her fate.

Emily has been trying to raise her children but as a single Mom, she is finding in hard to make ends meet. If only she had the same rights to property ownership as everyone else, she might be able to keep her home after her common law husband has left her, but that is not possibly as his rights to the property supersede hers and she has no right of ownership.

Fantasy? Third world? Afghanistan? How about right here in Canada! This is mild compared to what is happening around the world. Genial mutilation, rape by husbands, denial of even the right to go to the doctor, or to leave your home without an escort, these are all happening today.

Where are the feminists marching on Parliament Hill? Where are the protests?

Think about a vise being applied to your heart, slowing draining all feeling. You live, but you are dead. Your husband can take you anytime he wants because you are less than a dog. Other men can take you because they caught you without a male escort, and then you might be stoned to death because they raped you. You go to school to learn, and you learn that males will throw acid in your face because you are less than an animal to them, and must be put in your place.

How can you RAGE against this inhumanity? How can you RAGE against your oppressors? Who will hear your calls for freedom? You are met by SILENCE.

Where are those feminists who cry about the lack of pay equity and demand daycare for all? They are busy crying about imaginary cuts to the Status of Women funding. They are too busy supporting abortion on demand up to 40 weeks to be concerned with your plight. Sorry, your problems are not even on their radar, you are not victim enough. You refuse to go quietly. You embarrass them and their “movement”.

SHUT UP! You are not part of the feminist movement, whatever that has become. They don’t care that you can be stoned to death for getting raped, they have their fingers in their ears while they sing. They can not hear you, they do not want to hear you, because you remind them that their mission has failed.

I expect every female MP, no matter what party, to get together and protest what is happening in Afghanistan, Darfur, and Saudi Arabia, and most importantly here in Canada. This is not about your political party, this is about women who have no rights and are less than slaves. At least slaves had value to their owners.

Grow Ops and Depends!

I'm working on a serious post for later, but needed to step back and relax for a minute.

So, I just went upstairs and watered my grow-op. Yes, I know grow-ops are supposed to be in the basement, but the sun doesn't shine down there. If spring ever comes and the ground ever thaws, I might get those plants outside. Global warming is very late arriving this year, even the geese are in trouble because the ponds are still frozen.



Those are tomatoes, peppers, and petunias, so don't be calling the police.

Question period is no fun when PM Harper isn't there, so nothing new for you to see so far this week. He's busy making Canada relevant on the world stage again, contrary to the whining media reports.

Here is a repeat that is probably the funniest question period segment I have ever seen. Even if you have seen it in my Friday funnies, it deserves a repeat viewing.



I didn't know that giggling and laughing was allowed in Parliament!
