Stephen Harper and Stephane Dion exchange words today in the House of Commons.

“I can understand that the leader of the Opposition and members of his party feel for Taliban prisoners. I just wish occasionally they’d show the same passion for Canadian soldiers,” Mr. Harper said in the House of Commons.

Mr. Dion immediately called on the prime minister to apologize for the remarks.

This was immediately followed by a series of "Yo Mamma" jokes by Dion.

Great article on "Limousine Liberal Hypocrisy" by Charles Krauthammer in this weeks "Crying Reagan" edition of Time Magazine.

Leo and Al then portentously announced that for the first time ever, the Academy Awards ceremony had gone green. What did that mean? Solar panels in the designer gowns? It turns out that the Academy neutralized the evening’s "carbon footprint" by buying carbon credits. That means it sent money to a "carbon broker," who promised, after taking his cut, to reduce carbon emissions somewhere on the planet equivalent to what the stars spewed into the atmosphere while flying in on their private planes.

In other words, the rich reduce their carbon output by not one ounce. But drawing on the hundreds of millions of net worth in the Kodak Theatre, they pull out lunch money to buy ecological indulgences. The last time the selling of pardons was prevalent–in a predecessor religion to environmentalism called Christianity–Martin Luther lost his temper and launched the Reformation.

Also worth reading in the same issue is the cover story "How the right went wrong" by Karen Tumulty which covers the state of the Republican party front runners in the 2008 election.

Tom & Jerry are a tool of Zionist propaganda?! Like abraca-duh!

I’ve given up trying to get DJs in Calgary to play this song at clubs. I really don’t understand the reluctance. I know it’s not LCD Soundsystem or The Streets but come on.

Interviewer: Let’s talk with the two children of the jihad-fighting martyrdom-seeker Rim Al-Riyashi – Dhoha and Muhammad.

Dhoha, you love mama, right? Where did mama go?

Dhoha: To Paradise.

Interviewer: What did mama do?

Dhoha: She committed martyrdom.

If I told you that I have the urge to walk around in leather underwear and cape and fight other men I’m not sure what you’d think. It’s probably not nice though. What can you expect from me after I saw 300 this evening. First things first, It’s time to start working harder at the gym because those Spartans were totally ripped. Walking out of that movie makes me want to fight (and fuck) for glory.

Which brings me to second point. 300 is the perfect date movie. Guys get the blood and violence, girls (or dudes who like dudes) get to see sweaty, muscular men for about two hours. Everyone wins.

I always enjoy showing off the efforts of friends. This commercial was written and directed by a friend of mine. Honestly, I thought his debut would be a bit more umm…. pornographic but you have to start somewhere I suppose.

James Brown finally buried 76 days after his passing.

I was made aware of this video by a new reader to this blog. Good in so many ways.

I received an 84% on this nerd test and somehow have manage to retain a relationship with a woman. Granted, she does likes Batttlestar Galactica as much as I do.
