‘Stand up. Take responsibility. Be a man. You shot a guy.’ Fallout arising from last weekend’s hunting incident where Dick Cheney a member of his own party in the face keeps mounting.
Later said MPs apologized, explaining that they were so used to doing it when Emerson used to be on the other side of the floor.
Some Tories are now turning on floor-crossing MP David Emerson. Stephen Harper’s cabinet appears to be in a spot of trouble even before its first day in Parliament.
Sure it was spontaneous… if “spontaneous” means “carefully planned over several months by religious zealots”.
Some interesting background info on the anti-cartoon rioting that’s been happening recently. There’s a lot more at play there than what you’ve seen on television.
Actually there is such a thing as trusting too much.
If you use Google Desktop, the Bush Administration could soon have access to all your data. Be wary of any company that asks you to trust it, even when they say they’re ‘not evil’.
He may not be too good at book-learnin’, but he sure gets the message from lawyers’ TV spots.
What do you do if you’re a Californian who hasn’t managed to pass the high school exit exam? The answer to this, as with many other things in America, is sue, sue, SUE!
On dirait presque qu’Emerson a planifié tout ça des mois à l’avance!
La défection de David Emerson fait bien des mécontents. Bien qu’on sache que les politiciens s’attachent au pouvoir à tout prix, la défection est perçue comme étant particulièrement cynique, au point où les Libéraux exigent qu’Emerson leur rembourse les couts de son élection.
They had to cancel the conference after the innkeeper double-booked the place. The earlier-starting Bar Mitzvah had priority, you know.
Schedule for the Iranian conference on the Holocaust. Only one question — will the lunch be Kosher?
Also noted, a surprising number of pizza parlors will try and deliver to someone naming himself “I.P. Freely”.
What the NSA learned using the warrantless wiretap program. Hey, they never said the information they heard was pertinent, did they.
Jews… is there anything they can’t do?
Iran denounces Mohammed cartoons as an ‘Israeli conspiracy’. In the Middle East nothing bad ever happens without Iran blaming the Jews, apparently. Is there lead in the drinking water over there?
The only thing missing is a Christian Scientist as Health Minister.
Stephen Harper provided a lot of things with his new Cabinet yesterday, but leadership wasn’t one of them. I like the extra-cynical touch evident in two things: first, picking an unelected — and therefore unquestionable in the House of Commons — Montrealer as Public Works minister, and topping it all with naming a unilingual anglophone as Canadian Heritage minister. I guess there really are more ministerial posts than French-speaking conservatives.
