Impolitical: The embarrassment goes international
Politicians and academics on Wednesday criticized the late night firing by the Conservative government of the head of Canada’s nuclear regulatory agency as a political attack on independent agencies.
OK, when a US newspaper expends any effort to report on a Canadian issue and actually sees through Bushlite’s spin, then you gots problems.
Peace, order and good government, eh?: There’s offensive and then there’s really offensive
When asked about the list, U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins was indignant. “We ought to be removed … I just think it’s absurd … and quite offensive.”
Awww, pumpkin.
Canadian Cynic: Compassionate conservatism for dummies.
It would be funny if it werent so awkwardly accurate.
Actually, it is funny.
Is a very catchy tune. Whenever it comes on my playlist ( I have 3 mixes – the original from Another World, the Melicia mix from Ten, and the unspecified mix on In The Mix) I actually notice the song that is playing, the music emerges from the background. I think it has surpassed Mahadeva and Amen as my favourite Astral Projection song.

Will new revelations about RNA force us to rethink how our past affects future evolution?
Joel Makower: Two Steps Forward: Gary Hirshberg: Changing the Culture and ‘Stirring It Up’
His $300 million-a-year company — built with almost no traditional advertising — has been carbon neutral since 1996, the first company to do so, long before it became corporate chic. And it’s not just by writing a check to offset its emissions. Over the past decade, the company (via the tireless efforts of Hirshberg’s sister, Nancy, Stonyfield’s VP of Natural Resources) has reduced its facility energy use and the associated carbon emissions per pound of product by one-third. Stonyfield’s products are 100% organic, and it has helped hundreds of family farms convert from conventional farming. The company has worked to minimize waste, going so far as to collect used yogurt cups and lids and recycle them into useful products. And it uses its product labeling for activism, devoting precious real estate on yogurt lids to advance environmental causes.
Land of the free.
Tomgram: How Bush Took Us to the Dark Side
“After 19 months of imprisonment and torment at the hands of the CIA, the agency released him [in Yemen] with no explanation, just as he had been imprisoned in the first place. He faced no terrorism charges. He was given no lawyer. He saw no judge. He was simply released, his life shattered.”

Peace, order and good government, eh?: WTF?
See, it is the violently stupid mind in his little head, as exemplified by such a foolish outburst, that led Rae to tarnish the good name of the NDP when he pretended to rule Ontario in the 90’s. See, Bob, the document established an equivalency between the United States and Iran on the subject of the treatment of prisoners only in-so-far as they both fucking torture people, Bob. Which they both do, Bob. Admittedly the Iranians wait before torturing you and raping you to death until you are in their country and our American friends have the courtesy of offering their services on a world-wide basis.
Liberals my ass.
