Just a reminder that Tournament of Stuff 11 is happening now!

4/10/03.  Because Jean Cretin [sic] has a terminal case of marble mouth some people may be confused as to where Canada really stood on this war with Iraq.  We were NOT part of the Coalition of the Willing.  Just for the record, the Coalition of the Willing consisted of:  Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Marshall Islands, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Micronesia, Mongolia, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Palau, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Rwanda, Slovakia, Spain, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Turkey, Ukraine, Uganda, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan, and of course, the United States of America.  CANADA IS NOT ON THAT LIST!    And no, I didn't expect Canada to send troops to the Gulf.  I know we don't have any.  Do you think that Tonga and Solomon Islands sent troops? NO!  They just threw their support in with the US.  Why couldn't we do that?  It was just three little words:  "We support you!"  Obviously, because of the warm welcome the 101st, the 3-7 ID, and the 1st MEF have received, some Canadians are beginning to realize that we were DEAD WRONG not to support this war.  As a result, the Liberals are on the run to 'clarify' their positions.  Look at what this Liberal goofball had to say:

"The Liberal head of the House of Commons defence committee called it "unfortunate" that Canadian soldiers were not part of Baghdad's liberation celebrations Wednesday, saying his government erred in opting out of the conflict.  MP David Pratt said the U.S.-led coalition has done the Middle East and the world a favour by ridding Iraq of the tyrannical regime of Saddam Hussein.  Other dictators should take a message from events in Baghdad on Wednesday, said Pratt.   "By removing the sword of Damocles that was hanging over the Middle East in terms of the Iraqi regime, the Americans, the British and the other coalition allies that were involved have done the world a great favour," said Pratt.  "When tyrants fall, I think it's cause for celebration."   Pratt said Canada "got caught up too much in the multilateral aspect of this - seeing multilateralism as an end in itself rather than looking at the morality of what was right under the circumstances." "And in my view, getting rid of Saddam Hussein was always the right thing to do." "

Dude, where were you when the Liberals voted down the Alliance's motion to support the war?  If I recall, and I DO, the Liberals voted UNANIMOUSLY to defeat that motion!

The funniest part is, Cretin insists that his decision was right because Canada believes in a "multilateral approach."  HELLO?  Is the list of supporting nations not long enough for you?  How many nations have to throw their hats into the ring before we will too?  I know he doesn't mean UN operations only because we were in Kosovo and that was NOT sanctioned by the UN!  If you recall, it was a NATO operation!  Seems that by 'multilateral' Cretin means that there has to be an organization with a cool logo in charge.

Cretin said today he will call George Bush but not today.  lol!  I guess Cretin's got to work up his courage and swallow his pride first.   What a loser!  If I were President Bush I'd be sure to tell my staff to tell Cretin that I'm in the shower and to try calling again later.

CONGRATULATIONS to Freezingwarm of Bombz-away.com.  You may remember  Black, Black, Lung wherein Freeze attempted to quit smoking.  Freeze didn't quite make it that time but he MONSTERED IT this round and quit cold turkey.  He's been smoke-free something like fifty days now.  Great stuff.

I've never been more ashamed and disgusted to be Canadian.  Today we see images of the Iraqis welcoming the Americans--as I predicted MONTHS ago by the way--because they have finally been liberated.  Meanwhile, Iraqi-Canadians have taken to the streets to chant "Shame on Cretin for not helping us."  One Iraqi in Hamilton shouted "Shame on Canada!  You are cowards."  What can I say?  They're right.  We look worse than the filthy French right now.  Check out these images courtesy the USA!  (Click on thumbnails for a larger view.)

I guess I didn't really understand what actually happened today when I wrote the entry below.  Baghdad has fallen!  Iraqis are celebrating in Baghdad and in the United States!  The game really is 'over.'  Iraqis are PRAISING Bush and Blair RIGHT NOW!  They're loving AMERICA!  I LOVE IT!!  I TOLD YOU SO!

4/9/03.  The Iraqi Ambassador to the United States has declared "The game is over."  It's the first time an Iraqi official has admitted they've had their asses handed to them.  Now that Iraqis feel safe enough to celebrate the defeat of Saddam they're doing just that.  So what do the peace protestors have to say to that?  BTW if you're a peace protestor wouldn't that mean you're pro-war? 

I just read in the Globe today that the CBC took down the Don Cherry clip where he gave his opinion on the war.  Mind you, they hadn't received any complaints; they just wanted to take it down because they didn't agree with Grapes.  If you missed the clip it was great; Grapes said Canada was dead wrong not to support the war.  Apparently, the CBC received 350 e-mails and EVERY ONE of them complained about the removal of the clip.  Tell those liberal jerkbots that this isn't Russia and we won't put up with censorship. 

If you need proof that there's nothing as filthy and repugnant as a Frenchman consider this;  today the Spectator reported that a British WWII monument in Normandy was defaced by the French.  On it they wrote 'Dig up your rubbish, it's fouling our soil.'  I'm not even going to comment on that.  I believe it speaks well enough on its own. 

4/7/03.  I wonder how Muhammad Sa'id al-Sahhaf is going to explain this.  lol.

4/6/03.  The Junos are on.  Wow.  A bunch of Canadian artists funded by the government and whose music must be played on the radio BY LAW getting prizes from that same government on a government TV show being broadcast by the government.  The best is yet to come when the Geminis--more government--hand the Junos a government prize for best Music or Variety Program.  Even the Cubans don't get this deep into it.  I'm sorry but I hate everything this country has stood for  post 1945.  Did you know that current CANCON rules mandate thirty percent of music played on the radio must be Canadian?  And that Sheila Copps wants it upped to fifty percent?  Here's the interesting part:  only ten percent of CDs Canadians buy are Canadian.  So I guess CANCON has failed.  So why are we still paying for it?  Please, America liberate Canada next.  PLEASE!

Aight.  I'm going to bed now; it's 11.39pm.  I just heard that American troops are in Baghdad itself.  Apparently, it's a handful of troops just scouting out the situation.  Day 17 and there are Americans in Baghdad.  Not too shabby. 

4/4/03.  Still alive.  It's all about Zelda right now I'm afraid.  Sorry.
