From me to you.
It's not quite as bad here in Toronto, but a few years ago I went to Ottawa during the holidays and can say without a doubt that I will NEVER do that again. It took about 20mins of prep time just to gather enough courage to run from the house to the car. The radiators were bursting, people were freezing at the bus stops, it was awful. I can only imagine the deep freeze in the maritime provinces, because I will never experience it first hand. From now on the I'm restricting my travels to the spring, summer and fall! Brrrrrrr ;)
Part of Jay Leno's monologue a few days ago:
"Terrorists in Iraq claimed today they had kidnapped a U.S. soldier. They even released video showing a U.S. soldier with a gun to his head. It turns out the soldier was really just a toy doll. Like a G.I. Joe doll. The whole thing was fake. Well, it’s nice to see Dan Rather working again."
LOL, sorry I missed that!
Great home page Old Sarge, very well done! Thanks for letting me be in your circle, too ;)
Bingo!
MSM, do you hear us NOW?
Yes, the worm has definitely turned concerning the future of media. The new media cat is out of the bag, and we will not be pushed back to irrelevance. The MSM should fear us. But even if they have too little understanding to fear us, we will still take them apart brick by brick.
And yes, I am sitting here in my pajamas wearing my brass badge as a member of the Pajamahedeen as I write this. LOL.

You have a good memory, arasina.

“Whoa,” I hear you cry. “Why should I read anything about a ‘Pukin Dog’?” This is an honorable name, the nickname of a squadron of Navy fighter pilots who flew combat in Vietnam. Now it is the screen name of a man who flew for that unit in Central Europe. He’s currently a pilot for a major American airline.
Both he and his airline will remain anonymous, because he thinks some might take offense at his words. I’ll respect his confidence. Besides, on the Internet it doesn’t matter who you are or what your background is. The only questions are: Do you have your facts straight? And, based on those facts, is your analysis logical?
What is the history of manifestos? The accurate ones represent major and permanent changes in human history. Martin Luther with his 95 Theses nailed on the church door in 1517 changed religions forever. Galileo, with his observations before 1633 that the Earth moved around the Sun, forever changed astronomy and science in general. The Framers of America forever changed history and politics with their manifesto entitled “the Declaration of Independence” in 1776.
Yousa, Yousa, Yousa.
That is a rant worth reading. Wiped the MSM up one side of the street and down the other.
This was the post that convinced me I should be writing here.
That statement alone was proof that the war had already been won; you'll never see writing and thoughts like that in the mainstream media. That is the stuff they edit out and suppress -- in favor of crap!
The problem with the broadcast meida is that they want the largest audience rather than the best audience. By and large, for them, that is the old entrenched audience of newsies or news junkies -- people addicted to the sensationalistic and bad news, the rants of demagogues.
The manifesto of Pukin Dog is not a rant; rants are those delusions of having an audience -- instead of talking to people about everything they've thought but never heard anybody say before, or say as comprehensively. And that's why there is "no contest" between the media of old and today's state of the art. It's already a fact but the perception is slowly coming around to the realization of the new realities.
And that reality is, your local newspaper doesn't have the talent to compete in the market open to everyone. They can only compete when they control the game, and pronounce themselves as the winners and the best and the brightest because they suppress all those who really have talent, ability and merit. That's why it is so depressing now to look at your local media (newspapers and television) because all one sees are losers pretending to be winners.
There is no more pathetic sight in the world.

The socialists and America-haters in Canada have brought this on themselves with the nastiness they've been dumping in every conceivable forum since 9/11. It's great to hear from Canadians who appreciate and understand the mutual benefits of our friendship. And isn't it great that Maggot Moore wasn't able to sway the last Canadian elections as he so desperately tried to do?
Thanks for the link.
The MSM are the Goebelites of the 'Hate the United States' crowd!
Great read. No white wash from the North.
