Ottawa Librarian Chooses Gay Pride Parade Over Clean Toilets

Mulder

Ottawa Chief Librarian Barbara Clubb has okayed the use of the Bookmobile as a float in this weeks Gay Pride Parade.

This is the same Chief Librarian Barbara Clubb who did nothing when a pile of steaming crap was left in the mens room of the downtown branch despite several complaints. At that time the Library’s story was “There isn’t enough money in the city budget for instant cleanup”.

Yet we have money to fill the gas tank of the bookmobile and drive it around the city in the Gay Pride parade.

So it is obvious to me that Barbara Clubb feels the Gay Pride Parade is a better way to spend our tax dollars than to have a steaming pile of shhhhhhhhhhaving cream cleaned up off the floor of our library.

I think it’s time the city of Ottawa find a new chief Librarian.

Once again, the tax payers get Officially Screwed.

American Kicks Hungarian Bridge Naming Ass … Canada Left In The Dust

Mulder

A week ago Stephen Colbert asked his viewers to head over to a Hungarian website to name a bridge after him via an online vote that was being held. At the same time, I asked my readers to spread the word and head on over to name it the Canada Bridge.

Well a week sure had some consequences.

Hungary Bridge Vote Count

I must point out that Canada hid (Canada Bridge) has 4 whole votes. I also must point out at least we are ahead of the Gene Simmons hid which has 3 votes. (probably from Paul Stanley, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley … errrr ….. maybe thats Eric Singer and Mark Thayer!!)

Since the Colbert Nation started voting en masse, the website has forced registration and even with that, Colbert is handily ahead.

Ironically, with over 17 Million votes, Colbert has received 7 million votes more than the population of Hungary (as of 2005 Census)

Liberal Sacrificial Teen … er … Lamb

Mulder

The more I think about the teenager Thomas Hubert, the communications director for the BC youth wing of the Liberal Party who was resigned after spewing some anti-Zionist remarks, the more I think this kid is the sacrificial lamb for Liberals to jump off the anti-Israeli bandwagon.

For weeks the MSM preached about how Harper’s anti-Hezbollah stance (notice I did not call it a pro Israel stance) would lose him votes and the left parroted how he would pay next election.

Well the trickle down effect of Liberal power couple Heather Reisman and Gerry Schwartz jumping ship to the Conservative Party is starting to show. The Jewish community has always been very tight knit and when one is attacked, all are attacked. The vote support and the financial support that will come from this segment of our multicultural map will far outgun the losses of a handful of radical Hezbollah supporters.

I think the Liberals are starting to see this and tossed a poor little lamb in front of the train.

(And I think since he might not be enough, they may toss a bigger sheep in front of the train too!!)

Dr. Bennett Aims To Surgically Remove Wrzesnewskyj From Liberal Party

Mulder

I love hearing about this stuff. On one side you like the fact they are fighting amongst themselves, and on the other fact you like that they might just be willing to clean up the rabble in their party.

The evil masochist in me likes to see the infighting the most.

Call me a sick bastard but when I read this stuff I start singing….

I like it….I love it….
I want some more of it….

Iran Declares War On Romanian Oil Rig

Mulder

I don’t even know what to make of this one. Iran did say they would have something big planned for the 22nd. I believe it is an important day to the Muslim religion and many speculated it would be the day of their nuclear testing. I guess they don’t have nuclear warheads yet, but they do have the massive cajones to take over a defenseless oil rig with a crew of 26.

I do know the commenters over at Dust My Broom are keeping me in stitches though. They are definately worth a gander.

Tamil Tigers Busted Buying Way Off Terrorist List

Mulder

CNN is reporting that 8 Tamil Tigers were arrested under a variety of charges after trying to buy their way off a terror list for a million dollars and also trying to buy surface to air missiles.

NEW YORK (CNN) — Eight men have been charged with plotting to buy surface-to-air missiles for Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tiger rebels, U.S. federal prosecutors have announced.The men also are accused of plotting to bribe U.S. State Department officials into removing the Tamil Tiger group from a list of terrorist organizations and of trying to obtain classified information.

All eight are charged with conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office in New York.

…

According to prosecutors, the men conspired to buy surface-to-air missiles from a black-market source in the United States. They also sought to have the group — formally known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam — removed from the U.S. list of terrorist organizations and obtain classified intelligence by bribing State Department officials.

…

The group was made up of Canadian and Sri Lankan nationals, and only one was living in the United States, said Bob Nardoza, a spokesman for Mauskopf’s office. The investigation was still going on, and more arrests were expected, Nardoza said.

I chee wawa. What’s funny about this is that the Liberals refused to put the Tamil Tigers on a terrorist list. They were just recently added by the Conservatives once they stepped into power.

Could The $100 Bills Being Found In Lebanon Be Legitimate?

Mulder

Michelle Malkin has a few links to some website that are noting the quantity of US $100 bills showing up all over Lebanon. Speculation is that this money is counterfeit.

This also reminds me of Tim, a CIA intelligence officer that was buying up information from Iraqi militants on the locations of various Iraqi leaders during the recent Iraq war. Tim was a fake name used by Bob Woodward in his book on the Iraq war.
Below is a funny excerpt from Bob Woodward’s book Plan of Attack:

So rare, so mind-blowing were Tim’s informants that the CIA gave them the crypt or secret designation DB/ROCKSTARS. (DB was the designator for Iraq.) Tim was now paying the two brothers $1 million a month for ROCKSTAR intelligence. The brothers seemed to spend the money in about six days, so tim would offer several hundred thousand more if they provided really good intelligence.

Swimming in a sea of $100 bills, the ROCKSTARS were buying up weapons on the black market that the PUK was also trying to buy.

…

Tim was also doling out millions to the PUK to keep them happy and for the intelligence and security they provided. One day the PUK leader, Jalal Talabani, came to see him.

“Tim, I will need if you can bring me ones and fives and tens because now everything in Sulaymaniyah costs $100.” The $100 bills had caused extreme inflation. It seemed even a cup of coffee was going for $100 because no one could make small change.

At those prices, forget Kandahar, I say we open up a Tim Horton’s in Sulaymaniyah!!
