Our priest mentioned Kepler 22b at Mass a couple weeks ago, and my kids and me have been talking about it ever since.

This is just so cool. Who wants to go with me?

Was musing on her latest idiocy and saw the linked yarn. Will post more Corbella-bombs as I find ’em.

…And if you’ve got any, send ’em along!

The “C” in their name, as I’ve written before, stands for Conservative. They, and their “CEO,” have become ardent fart-catchers for the Harper government.

Proof of same is found in this question, which is rhetorical:

Have any of you, at any point, condemned the despicable way in which Irwin Cotler – one of our greatest Parliamentarians, and a man regarded in Israel as a giant – has been treated by the Harper government?

Trust me, they haven’t.

His powers of expression were remarkable. His politics sucked; they were often despicable, in fact.

Why do so many writers sing his praises? Because they want to be like him. They’re all stuck in the graveyard of broken dreams, and see Hitchens as someone who got out and got rich. They want that.

Now this is a Christmas card.  Wow.

And, BTW, did you hear about Peter McKay’s?  It’s of Pete waiting for the valet at the Ritz to bring around his helicopter!

What with Time magazine calling protestors the Person of the Year, and the various Arab Springs, and the Occupiers, and so on, this sign seems…right.  My sons and I pass it every day on the way to their school, and my eldest boy snapped it.  It’s true.  True, true, true.

If Peter Kent is a piece of shit, is that a defence?

I’m still enraged by the puppet Speaker’s ruling. When a reader posted this, it made me even madder.

Anyone else knew this?

The firm that did the calling into Cotler’s riding also did $8,198.79 of work for the current Speaker, Andrew Scheer, in the last election. Scheer should have excused himself from making the Privilege decision yesterday because of a conflict of interest!

UPDATE: The CBC, at least, recognizes this is a legitimate (and significant) news story – and doesn’t relegate it to a little-noticed blog, like the Citizen does.  Read it here.

…starring my brothers Warman and Murphy. Who, whether you know it or not, have done much to make Canada inhospitable to hate, and haters.

Wonderful story about Stephen Harper by my former Carleton journalism classmate. Well worth a read.

Brings to mind a good line I recently heard in a lousy movie: “The Lord judges you for who you are, not who you were.”
