OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM IS GETTING TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL:How much longer are we as parents, grandparents and legal guardians of children going to let this garbage continue? Our school taxes are being used to morally and mentally corrupt our children and grand children, and it is getting worse by the day.I don't give a hoot if you Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, etc., because in...

The Goal

What a finish to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics! Could anyone, including organizers and sponsors, ask for anything more than an overtime game in the gold medal game?One of the toughest things to hear is "there has to be a winner and a loser", and I want to strike that comment from the record. The USA didn't lose the gold medal. They deserved the medal as much as Canada did through their play....

Marijuana Does NOT Cause Psychosis

So, I've been pretty much inundated with nonsensical articles about marijuana causing psychosis. While many people have set the record straight on this issue in the past, it keeps coming back as some new article. Simply put, someone put together a half-assed study and somehow came to the conclusion that marijuana caused psychosis - schizophrenia, etc.Well, let's set the record straight again... No,...

TBC: Messier

When the debate about great leaders in sports comes about, Mark Messier's name is almost always given. His glare, as seen on the cover to the left, is legendary, and the stories of his leadership make him sound more like a Greek god than a mortal hockey player. However, for all that is known of his on-ice exploits, there is so much more to Mark Messier's legend. The intensively private man's life...

Never Tax MEDICAL Marijuana

How do you go about telling a terminally ill person that they'll have to pay more for their medicine? Do you just pass the tax without so much as speaking with them? Do you ignore their hardships and pain? Have they ever even bothered to visit someone in true pain?With that said, what kind of no-soul-having-black-hearted-son-of-a-bitch would seek to tax the medicine of someone suffering from AIDS,...

What is with American reporters?

Four-medal Friday

Two golds and bronze in short track, and silver in curling.Plus the hockey team pulled together and pulled it off!And you know, I had been wondering about whether the Canadian men were going to survive in short track, where the dominant skaters seem to have to be just a little bit dirty to win, enough to win without getting caught. It seemed like our Canadians were just too nice.But the relay team...

Deja Vu 2002

The majority of North American soil is shared by two countries. These two countries share the longest undefended border on the planet, and there are few differences between the people who make up these two countries. Of course, I'm talking about Canada and USA with this introduction, and these two teams will play for the 2010 Olympic gold medal in men's hockey. Both teams have performed much better...

Sarah Goes Joe Wilson on the Obamacare Summit!

Today we posted a note highlighting the lies of the softy southpaws at the Obamacare summit yesterday. Madame was nice enough to use our nearly 1.5 million Facebook rogues to share the GOP's fact check on the Obamacare Summit. Madame shared the GOP's Joe Wilson points from the event on reconciliation, supposed lower premiums, the public's opinion on incrementalism, and abortion funding.Madame's no stranger to fact checks. The AP (Associated Press or Anti-Palin, take your pick) used 11 staff members...

2.2 seconds, 2 rocks

It all comes down to a few seconds, a few inches. A story in this morning's Star Phoenix, which I cannot find on line, put Canada's "losses" in this Olympics into perspective -- we would have had five more medals in five different events if we had an extra 2.2 seconds, total, to add into the Canadian scores.And in curling, it all came down to just two rocks. Ours at the 10th end didn't quite make it, and theirs in the 11th end did.So it goes.And like Hayley says, get re...

Three Straight

If there was any team that Canadians should embrace as true champions, the Canadian women's national team is it. Three gold medals in the last three Winter Olympiads, and a whole host of other awards that should make Canadians proud.You know is proud of the Canadian women? Me. I am.It needs to be said, though, that the American women played a very good game as well. In fact, the Americans played well...

Thoughts on Medical Marijuana in NY

Yeah. You read the title. On Feb. 23rd, the NY State Senate Health Committee passed medical marijuana legislation. I'll admit, I don't fully understand all of these political procedures that NY State government must go through before a bill becomes a law. It seems a bit more complicated than the cartoon of the bill on the steps of Capitol Hill (ha, I'm a rapper now) in DC.Wait.. it was Capitol Hill...

Olympic commercials

Farewell to a Friend and Porcine Cosmetics?

Today, I discovered the bittersweet news that Madame's spokesperson, Meg "the enforcer" Stapleton has resigned so that she will be able to spend more time with her family. Oh the memories working on Madame's book (See page 399-400 of Going Rogue). In honor of Meg's departure, I've posted my favorite clip of her. She was on the Communist News Network talking about Madame's resignation, and she uses a sports analogy. Poor liberals! They don't understand sports analogies. They probably are confused...

Antler Banter: Volume 17

With the second week of the Olympics underway, and a lot of good hockey still to be played in Vancouver, we pause to check out what's been happening with the Manitoba Moose on Antler Banter. The Moose had a Toronto-Rochester-Toronto swing to end their eastern portion of the roadtrip before getting ready for a trip to Texas to end the roadtrip this week. We'll review those games, and talk a little...
