Captain Goes Down with Ship? - Not in Egypt

"Survivors of the Red Sea ferry disaster said on Saturday the Egyptian captain had fled his burning ship by lifeboat and abandoned them to their fate, as hopes faded of finding some 800 missing people.

Some passengers, plucked alive from the sea or from boats after the ferry caught fire and sank early on Friday, said crew members had told them not to worry about the blaze below deck and even ordered them to take off lifejackets."

FINALLY AN HONEST PM?

"Research, also done by Reimer, has determined that because Canadian evangelicals see honesty, fidelity and charity as categorical imperatives and not situational options they tend to show more continuity between what they say and what they do. In the vernacular of evangelicals: if they talk the talk, they walk the walk.The implications of these findings are staggering: it could mean that for the first time in decades Canadians might have a Prime Minister who doesn't lie to them."

YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS AT WORK

Your taxes spent by the CBC to bring a program called 'NERVE' ,

"Depraved programming accessible to our nation's kids; brought to you by..."

"I was surprised that this web site was actually part of the liberals’ prized CBC which we all pay for. It and all its contents (sampled below) was bought and paid for and presented by—not some perverted, depraved socialist, and not some adult-only pay-per-view business—but by YOU. Yes, you. Pat yourself on the back. "

"The “Nerve” show was apparently yanked, as I can’t find it on the schedule any longer. It was broadcast to the kids at 5:30 Mondays—ensuring that both teens and even the young toddlers could view it. "

The site below has samples of these programs/shorts...

"Here are some of the flicks at the state-run CBC web site. Did you know you bought this and that this is what our CBC is up to? "

"The state’s official television critic, Stephen Cole, wrote this about Nerve, on the state-run people’s web site, CBC.ca:
(at http://www.cbc.ca/arts/tv/nerve.html )"

WHY HE RAN - GARTH'S LATEST SPEECH

"Why did I lose my mind and run to be an MP? After all, it was not easy. I spent eight months at it, and personally knocked on more than 25 thousand doors. I took on an incumbent MP in an area that had not voted Conservative since 1993, and which now is in the middle of explosive population growth. It was a hard-fought campaign with lots of personal attacks.

Why would anyone put themselves through that? After all, my life was full enough.

Simply put, I ran for love of country, and the middle class."
Garth Turner, M.P. for Halton, Ontario - Member of Parliament in Canada

THIS IS A MUST READ - WONDERFUL SELECTION - SHADOW CABINET

"Rick Mercer revealed the Conservative Cabinet a few weeks ago. With the help of the Liberal campaign mole, I am now able to reveal most of the new Liberal Shadow Cabinet. Of course, if I've forgotten anyone, please let me know."

HAPPY MARMOT DAY!

Others might call it Groundhog Day, but I prefer Marmot Day giving some recognition to our endangered species here on Vancouver Island.

Depending on where you live on the island, you might deduce that winter is over, or has six months to run.

However, let me clear this up.. In reality, it really doesn't matter! We, who live on the best coast of Canada, know that winter really only shows it's face on rare occasions, and the flowers in our gardens are already shooting up. Why, in Victoria, we look forward to the annual blossom counting week at the end of Feburary!..

So, while the rest of Canada is bemoaning the possibility of more winter and late spring snowstorms, we are preparing our garden tools, sandles, shorts, and spring cleanup. Not to mention washing and waxing our vehicles in preparation for another lovely summer, and cruisin' with the top down!

Cheers!

A great inside look at PM Harper and the team behind him

Harper’s Braintrust

"In an article that received little attention in the national press (partly because it is behind the CanWest firewall), Nigel Hannaford writes about Harper’s background in Calgary, and a small group of nearly anonymous, middle class friends:"

"Tuesday, January 24, 2006

It’ll take a few years to know if this was the revolution Canada’s left feared, or just a change in government. But, however it turns out, that Stephen Harper is prime minister means a handful of hardly wealthy Calgarians beat Canada’s establishment."

"No doubt, the empire will strike back.".............

"What Harper and his team did means we cannot call them ordinary men. Clearly, they are not. But, they had none of the advantages of wealth and mastery of the nation’s back-channels when they set forth upon their five-year political adventure." ............

"These are decent men. If this is how they treat each other, Canadians should, as Rene Levesque said, take a valium. Change will be tempered with moderation."........

LIBERAL PARTY & PAUL MARTIN - LEGACY?

How History Will Remember Mr. Dithers


"So all the liberal strategists are touting Mr. Dithers financial record as something for the ages. I think history will remember him as a reckless finance minister and even more dangerous as a Prime Minister."

WILL HARPER CHOOSE A NEW SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE?

If new decorum and behaviour returning to observing the rules is to be desired, then due consideration should be given by the Torys to select a new speaker and thus restore dignity and respect in the House of Commons..

How about Chuck Strahl? ..

HOW TO MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF ON THE INTERNET

"Great swaths of the blogosphere are rich and smart and civil, yes. Other areas are infested with people whose hatred for George W. Bush is so intense they keep a squeegee by the TV to wipe the spittle off the screen."

"The good news is that you, too, can be like Kerry, and rant as you please in unmoderated comment sections. But you have to ask yourself, punk: Do you have the chops to truly make a fool of yourself to disinterested observers? Well, do you?

Here are some rules for being an idiot on the Internet. Clip 'n' save:............"
