Enjoy,The Internet’s Cult Of Amateurism Claims Another Victim
A Vancouver area man was sentenced to 19 months in prison for sending an email fax falsely claiming to be a Muslim with information on a terrorist cell that planned on attacking Canada’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team in Ottawa.
And, rightly so! If amateurs spread fear about possible terrorist activity, who is going to believe they government when they do it?

Huckleberry Finnegan’s Wake is about a day in the life of Leopold Bloom, who travels around Dublin on a raft with Jim, a black man trying to escape slavery.

Frum Bad To Worse
David Frum has written complaining that he was not included in an article run last week called “People Who Make Me Ashamed To Be Jewish.” It is true that, had I written the piece in 2003 or 2004, Frum would have been front and centre for helping craft the inane rhetoric of the Bush administration, rhetoric that contributed to two disastrous wars, millions of deaths and displaced persons and a tanking American economy.
But, this is 2008. Not only has Frum not been as publicly active as he was then, but his latest book is actually critical of the far right politics he used to support. Compared to, say, Mark Steyn’s extreme Muslim-baiting, or Paul Wolfowitz’ continued existence, which is an affront to decent people everywhere, Frum currently comes across as – dare I say it? – practically…liberal.
I am sorry that Frum could not be included in my list. But, really, if he wants to be included in an article stronger than “People Who Make Me Vaguely Embarrassed To Be Jewish,” he is going to have to return to the rhetoric of his prime.

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before: Eighteen Muslim Men Walk Into A Bar…
Q: Two Muslim men in Toronto were convicted of smuggling handguns across the border; they are part of a gaggle of 18 men who are being tried for terrorism. At the same time, former Ontario Education Minister John Snobelen, who has pled guilty to possession of a restricted weapon after he was found with a gun he had brought back from a trip to the United States, is asking the court not to give him a criminal record. Why the difference between the two cases?
A: The incompetent Muslims threatened all Canadians, whereas the incompetent Tories only threatened the poor.

In Times Of War Everybody Settles
YOU WANT: your tax dollars to be used to pay the salaries of soldiers who will track down and killing terrorists, lessening their threat to you. YOU’LL SETTLE: for your tax dollars being used to pay for the rations that the soldiers who are tracking down and killing terrorists, lessening their threat to you, will eat. YOU’LL GET: your tax dollars being used to pay for the bullets that will kill foreign children, increasing the terrorist threat against you. Sorry.

Staving Off Flaherty Fatigue For Another Week
How to Make Enemies and Influence NobodyCanadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s jeremiad against Ontario’s social spending on the eve of the release of the provincial budget could be seen as the ultimate self-hurt book. You have to admire the consistency of his message – until you truly think about it, at which point you have to be appalled by his message.

The Always Effective “I Have A Nightmare” Speech
WHAT BARACK OBAMA SAID: That [black] anger is not always productive; indeed, all too often it distracts attention from solving real problems; it keeps us from squarely facing our own complicity in our condition, and prevents the African-American community from forging the alliances it needs to bring about real change. But the anger is real; it is powerful; and to simply wish it away, to condemn it without understanding its roots, only serves to widen the chasm of misunderstanding that exists between the races.
WHAT THE TELEVISION PUNDITS HEARD: Black anger is not always productive, but it is real, it is powerful, and you’re going to have to deal with it. That’s right, you honky motherfuckers, WE’RE COMING FOR YOU! Yeah, and your women! And your pets! We’re gonna burn this motherfucker down and create a society where whites are the ones who shuck and whites are the ones who jive. AND, I’M THE MAN IN CHARGE OF MAKING IT HAPPEN!
