Rick Salutin complains about the conservative bias at the CBC:
“What’s always been perplexing about the CBC is how unpublic it basically is: the way it mimics the private, for-profit nets in much of what it does. Its stable of right-wing ideologues, for instance — Rex Murphy, Kevin O’Leary, Don Cherry — with zero counterbalancing figures….”
Time for your sponge bath, Rick…that’s a good boy.
This is from last week, but I haven’t seen it mentioned: The CBC has a 547-page file on….wait for it….. Brian Lilley. With most of the pages blanked out.
EBD, thanks for the tip to the Salutin screed. That level of Denial of Reality surely falls under some sort of mental disorder, doesn’t it?!?
“… right-wing ideologues … with zero counterbalancing figures”
The fact that many commenters, who one would assume are regular CBC News watchers, agree with Salutin is proof positive that some people are just not capable of critical thinking.

ATK Awarded Contract to Supply 450 Million Rounds of .40 Caliber Ammunition to the Department of Homeland Security
ATK has secured a major Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity deal to supply up to 450 million rounds of .40 caliber ammunition to the Department of Homeland Security.
The 1 year contract with four option years comes at a time when many Americans believe that DHS, along with certain aspects of the military, will soon turn their sights on the American people during some sort of martial law scenario.
“We are proud to extend our track record as the prime supplier of .40 caliber duty ammunition for DHS, ICE,” said Ron Johnson, the president of ATK’s Security and Sporting group,” reported a PR Newswire release.

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate
Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.
The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

Elk Grove Considers Banning Smoking In All Apartment Complexes http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2012/03/22/elk-grove-considers-banning-smoking-in-all-apartment-complexes/
A Canadian female libertarian wrote a lot of letters to the Canadian government, complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists) being held in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities. She demanded a response to her letter correspondence.
She received back the following reply:
National Defense Headquarters
M Gen George R. Pearkes Bldg., 15 NT
101 Colonel By Drive
Ottawa , Canada ON K1A 0K2
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian Forces who were subsequently transferred to the Afghanistan Government and are currently being held by Afghan officials in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.
Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinions were heard loud and clear here in Ottawa . You will be pleased to learn, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself, we are creating a new department here at the Department of National Defense, to be called ‘Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers’ program, or L.A.R.K. for short.
In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided to divert one terrorist and place him in your personal care. Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence in Toronto next Monday.
Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint! It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers.
We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommended in your letter.
Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his ‘attitudinal problem’ will help him overcome these character flaws. Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences. We understand that you plan to offer counseling and homeschooling.
Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills at your next yoga group. Please advise any Jewish friends, neighbors or relatives about your house guest, as he might get agitated or even violent, but we are sure you can reason with him.
He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless (in your opinion) this might offend him.
Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters (except sexually) since he views females as a subhuman form of property thereby having no rights, including refusal of his sexual demands. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him and he has been known to show violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the new dress code that he will “recommend” as more appropriate attire. I’m sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka over time. Just remember that it is all part of ‘respecting his culture and religious beliefs’ as described in your letter.
Thanks again for your concern. We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job and care for our fellow man.
You take good care of Ahmed and remember we’ll be watching.
Good luck and God bless you.

“Florida race shooting suspect has Hispanic heritage”
SANFORD, Florida — The crime watch volunteer accused of shooting an unarmed black teenager to death in this Florida town has a name suggesting that he could be of German ancestry. The truth is more complicated.
George Zimmerman, 28, allegedly shot and killed 17 year-old Trayvon Martin in a gated neighborhood of Sanford, Florida on February 26.
Zimmerman is widely described as a white man, but the one-time Catholic altar boy “is Hispanic and grew up in a multiracial family,” his father said in a letter to the Orlando Sentinel newspaper.
“He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever,” 64 year-old Robert Zimmerman wrote. “The media portrayal of George as a racist could not be further from the truth.”” http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5j3himoaGi48-XF_-KSCY7PMc2lzA?docId=CNG.0008368da129efbedb740d4b4c908745.1d1

More garbage from Marcus Gee over at the Probe and Fail: Dear people of Toronto: Can we talk? Something has been bothering me. A lot of you have been acting all shocked and appalled at the performance of Mayor Rob Ford. The libraries fight. The Port Lands craziness. The 911-Marg Delahunty embarrassment. Now the transit cock-up. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/an-open-letter-to-those-who-elected-rob-ford/article2380049/
The idiot doesn’t seem to understand that all of these problems fermented and festered while do-nothing (except for the unions) Moro … Mayor Miller was at the helm, inexorably steering Toronto into the shoals and shallows.
Toronto is a disaster. Nothing works, least of all the damned TTC. Torontonians do not need any more surface transportation. Existing streetcar routes plug up the traffic flow and are a blight on the landscape. How many times in a snowy winter does the poor, hapless Toronto driver encounter — that is, get stuck behind — a streetcar that’s not moving? Too many to count.
Most of Toronto’s problems can be traced to union irresponsibility and unaccountability (libraries, transit) and, as for the Marg Delahunty “embarrassment”? It’s completely in the CBC’s court: Mayor Ford didn’t ask for the CBC attention or Mary Walsh’s hands all over him on his own property — and nor did the CBC give him prior warning that they intended to invade his private space. This was the first time in Marg Delahunty’s overly tired schtick that she’d launched an attack on a politician on their home turf.
Now something’s bothering me — and it’s Marcus Gee’s unabashed contempt for Mayor Ford and those who voted for him. Gee’s a gosh, golly, gee cheerleader for the usual left-lib causes — nasty, mean Mayor Ford for not attending the Gay Pride Parade. Tsk, tsk.
Take that finger you’re shaking at us, Mr. Gee, and put it … you know where.

@NORTH OF 60
I have to call b.s. on that letter i personally do not beleive that was written by our own minister of national defence.
Proove it to me!!
If that is true i will be sending him a letter of thank you!!
Here’s a passage about the significance of sound money from Ludwig von Mises’s seminal work The Theory of Money & Credit published 100 years ago in 1912:
It is impossible to grasp the meaning of the idea of sound money if one does not realize that it was devised as an instrument for the protection of civil liberties against despotic inroads on the part of governments. Ideologically it belongs in the same class with political constitutions and bills of rights. The demand for constitutional guarantees and for bills of rights was a reaction against arbitrary rule and the nonobservance of the old customs by kings. The postulate of sound money was first brought up as a response to the princely practice of debasing the coinage. It was later carefully elaborated and perfected in the age which—through the experience of the American continental currency, the paper money of the French Revolution and the British restriction period—had learned what a government can do to a nations’ currency system.
I’m re-reading the key works in LvM’s oeuvre.
Having just finished Human Action and now half way through The Theory it suddenly struck me that in all of this 1000+ pages there isn’t a single table, chart or graph. Therein lies the key datum in understanding the difference between mainstream Keynesianism and “Austrian” economics.
“Please accept Mohamad is prophet of god too then we become all brother and sisters”
No thanks, new.
I’m going on record: Salutin is pulling our leg. I know he’s an old commie coot, but he’s not Heather Mallick insane, surely. He’s probably just ronery and wants a little attention.
A big thanks to Matt for posting this. Marianne Meed Ward is clearly rehearsing for some future comedy act when she declared that she’s “not afraid of anything”, meaning that she’s not afraid to criticize Muslims. Of course she is and she proves it every time she appears with Coren!
Now the nanny state is wonders why 3rd graders are having oral sex in classrooms, after years of promoting sex education to kindergarten students. Blame the parents? I thought the state was looking after the kids now.
The wider story to the Huston third grade teacher being fired for not noticing student’s having oral sex in the classroom is the media’s cover-up of the racial makeup of the students. http://cofcc.org/2012/03/cbs-houston-libels-white-students/

“NDP on verge of brave new world under brash Thomas Mulcair”
“State-run Chinese website accuses Dalai Lama of ‘Nazi’ policies” http://www.theglobeandmail.com/
more advice from the ‘religion of peace’…
(Toronto Sun) — A local bookstore has “sold out” of a controversial marriage guide that advises Muslim men on how to beat their wives.
The 160-page book, published by Idara Impex in New Delhi, India, is written by Hazrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi, who’s described in the book’s foreword as a “prolific writer on almost every topic of Islamic learning.”
The store’s manager, who didn’t give his name, said the book had been sold out for some time, and the store’s owner, whom the manager identified as Shamim Ahmad, refused to comment for the story.
It wasn’t clear whether the shop has ordered more copies of the book, but it’s available at online Islamic bookstores and even through eBay.
In the book’s opening pages, it is written that “it might be necessary to restrain her with strength or even to threaten her.”
Later, its author advises that “the husband should treat the wife with kindness and love, even if she tends to be stupid and slow sometimes.”
Page 45 contains the rights of the husband, which include his wife’s inability to leave “his house without his permission,” and that his wife must “fulfil his desires” and “not allow herself to be untidy … but should beautify herself for him … ”
In terms of physical punishment, the book advises that a husband may scold her, “beat by hand or stick,” withhold money from her or “pull (her) by the ears,” but should “refrain from beating her excessively.”
The NDP convention has technical difficulties. They expect to be there till late into the night.
The cbc speculation is that their voting system was hacked by ‘outside’ forces.

“In Edmonton, anti-racist demonstrators send white-pride rally packing”
(googlenews)
@ maz2 at March 24, 2012 8:30 PM
They should have known better. They were white for heavens sake. Not gay, where the taxpayer even picks up the tab. Being white automatically makes you a racist. That was as stupid as asking when white history month is. Or trying to find the Fed. dept. for the status of men. To make it even worse, they were white males which is almost a crime in itself. Glad to see they were smacked down as any message coming from them that has even a hint of pride just had to be racist and in a free society we simply can not tolerate that.
This message is endorsed by the Muslim Brotherhood. Proudly Canadian.

Zimmerman is widely described as a white man, but the one-time Catholic altar boy “is Hispanic and grew up in a multiracial family,” his father said in a letter to the Orlando Sentinel newspaper.
“He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever,” 64 year-old Robert Zimmerman wrote. “The media portrayal of George as a racist could not be further from the truth.””

Zimmerman is Hispanic with a multi racial background. Not sure why its been turned into a race issue. Sounded more like he was a wannabe cop.”

By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez
I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz.
We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, and talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.”

More garbage from Marcus Gee over at the Probe and Fail:
Dear people of Toronto:
Can we talk? Something has been bothering me. A lot of you have been acting all shocked and appalled at the performance of Mayor Rob Ford. The libraries fight. The Port Lands craziness. The 911-Marg Delahunty embarrassment. Now the transit cock-up.
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/an-open-letter-to-those-who-elected-rob-ford/article2380049/
The idiot doesn’t seem to understand that all of these problems fermented and festered while do-nothing (except for the unions) Moro … Mayor Miller was at the helm, inexorably steering Toronto into the shoals and shallows.
Toronto is a disaster. Nothing works, least of all the damned TTC. Torontonians do not need any more surface transportation. Existing streetcar routes plug up the traffic flow and are a blight on the landscape. How many times in a snowy winter does the poor, hapless Toronto driver encounter — that is, get stuck behind — a streetcar that’s not moving? Too many to count.
Most of Toronto’s problems can be traced to union irresponsibility and unaccountability (libraries, transit) and, as for the Marg Delahunty “embarrassment”? It’s completely in the CBC’s court: Mayor Ford didn’t ask for the CBC attention or Mary Walsh’s hands all over him on his own property — and nor did the CBC give him prior warning that they intended to invade his private space. This was the first time in Marg Delahunty’s overly tired schtick that she’d launched an attack on a politician on their home turf.
Now something’s bothering me — and it’s Marcus Gee’s unabashed contempt for Mayor Ford and those who voted for him. Gee’s a gosh, golly, gee cheerleader for the usual left-lib causes — nasty, mean Mayor Ford for not attending the Gay Pride Parade. Tsk, tsk.
Take that finger you’re shaking at us, Mr. Gee, and put it … you know where.

Here’s a passage about the significance of sound money from Ludwig von Mises’s seminal work The Theory of Money & Credit published 100 years ago in 1912:
I’m re-reading the key works in LvM’s oeuvre.
Having just finished Human Action and now half way through The Theory it suddenly struck me that in all of this 1000+ pages there isn’t a single table, chart or graph. Therein lies the key datum in understanding the difference between mainstream Keynesianism and “Austrian” economics.

I’m going on record: Salutin is pulling our leg. I know he’s an old commie coot, but he’s not Heather Mallick insane, surely. He’s probably just ronery and wants a little attention.
A big thanks to Matt for posting this. Marianne Meed Ward is clearly rehearsing for some future comedy act when she declared that she’s “not afraid of anything”, meaning that she’s not afraid to criticize Muslims. Of course she is and she proves it every time she appears with Coren!
Now the nanny state is wonders why 3rd graders are having oral sex in classrooms, after years of promoting sex education to kindergarten students. Blame the parents? I thought the state was looking after the kids now.
The wider story to the Huston third grade teacher being fired for not noticing student’s having oral sex in the classroom is the media’s cover-up of the racial makeup of the students.

Ms. Lee is the former executive director of the Democratic Governors Association. Ms. Powers is a political commentator who worked in the Clinton administration.
We’re both women who have worked in Democratic politics and the media for decades and find Bill Maher’s misogynist treatment of women candidates deeply disturbing. Coincidentally we both hail from Alaska — where women are treated as equals — so perhaps our threshold for this kind of behavior is less than here in the Lower 48.]NYT

more advice from the ‘religion of peace’…
(Toronto Sun) — A local bookstore has “sold out” of a controversial marriage guide that advises Muslim men on how to beat their wives.
The 160-page book, published by Idara Impex in New Delhi, India, is written by Hazrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi, who’s described in the book’s foreword as a “prolific writer on almost every topic of Islamic learning.”
The store’s manager, who didn’t give his name, said the book had been sold out for some time, and the store’s owner, whom the manager identified as Shamim Ahmad, refused to comment for the story.
It wasn’t clear whether the shop has ordered more copies of the book, but it’s available at online Islamic bookstores and even through eBay.
In the book’s opening pages, it is written that “it might be necessary to restrain her with strength or even to threaten her.”
Later, its author advises that “the husband should treat the wife with kindness and love, even if she tends to be stupid and slow sometimes.”
Page 45 contains the rights of the husband, which include his wife’s inability to leave “his house without his permission,” and that his wife must “fulfil his desires” and “not allow herself to be untidy … but should beautify herself for him … ”
In terms of physical punishment, the book advises that a husband may scold her, “beat by hand or stick,” withhold money from her or “pull (her) by the ears,” but should “refrain from beating her excessively.”
The NDP convention has technical difficulties. They expect to be there till late into the night.
The cbc speculation is that their voting system was hacked by ‘outside’ forces.

@ maz2 at March 24, 2012 8:30 PM
They should have known better. They were white for heavens sake. Not gay, where the taxpayer even picks up the tab. Being white automatically makes you a racist. That was as stupid as asking when white history month is. Or trying to find the Fed. dept. for the status of men. To make it even worse, they were white males which is almost a crime in itself. Glad to see they were smacked down as any message coming from them that has even a hint of pride just had to be racist and in a free society we simply can not tolerate that.
