TwitterHere we go again -- some American progressives are freaking out over Obama's announcement about off-shore drilling.Now, maybe I'm biased here -- I live in one of the few places in North America which was NOT devastated by the recession and it was Saskatchewan's resource development and related economic activity that was a key factor in maintaining employment here over the last two years. And I grew up on a farm, where we made our living exploiting the land, so to speak.So I have just never understood...

We went a bit rogue today and wrote a piece for the National Review Online instead of on Facebook. I love it when we mix it up a bit! It means I get to use a different font!The Great Opologizer stated today that he was going to expand off-shore drilling. Of course, he is choosing to not drill in parts of Alaska. Hmm...You know that wasn't going to sit well with Madame. Energy independence is like...

There are only six games remaining in the Herd's regular season, and we could possibly have two or more weeks of playoff hockey. Antler Banter is back on Wednesday, and the Moose had two big games this week on Monday and Tuesday. We'll look at those two battles against division-rival Abbotsford, and we'll update the standings and what the Moose have to do to ensure a playoff berth. For all of your...

With the unfortunate passage of Obamacare last week, Madame's decided to shift gears this week by focusing on endorsements, holidays, and today, foreign policy!For those softy southpaws who want to claim that Madame is inciting violence, take a look at this post. Madame is calling for peace, but perhaps much like the Great Communicator, she is calling for peace through strength. In this case, strength means tough sanctions on the Iranian leader, Imanutjob, who is still engaging in nuclear development.Madame,...

ONE DOCTOR'S OPINION:Pictured below is a physician by the name of Dr.Starner Jones. His short four-paragraph letter to a Jackson, Miss. newspaper accurately puts the blame on a "Culture Crisis" instead of a "Health Care Crisis".

OIL - you better sit down.Here's an interesting read, important and verifiable information :About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil andone of the Forbes Bros. was the guest. The host said to Forbes, "I am going toask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oildoes the U.S. have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "morethan all the...

The Jurist summarizes the dynamic about the Sask Party's Finance minister Gantefoer sticking its toe into the HST water and then rapidly pulling back:. . . there's good news in the fact that the Sask Party wants to let big business do the actual work in selling the HST. After all, the Wall government tried the same strategy when it came to nuclear power, and was forced to back down once it realized that it's people rather than dollars who ultimately get their say at the polls.Emphasis mine.I heard...

Madame had another two fold Facebook posting today. First, as Commandress-in-Chief in waiting she announced the endorsements of three American heroes who are running for Congress: Lieutenant Allen West (FL-22), Captain Adam Kinzinger (IL-11), and Major Vaughn Ward (ID-1). You know how much American veterans mean to Madame. After all, she took a lot of heat for endorsing Senator McAnonymous from those who may not understand the virtue of Madame's loyalty, in spite of McAnonymous's RINOish ways.However,...

The conclusion of Keep Your Head Up, Kid - The Don Cherry Story was on tonight, and naturally I was glued to the television set as the story transitioned from Don Cherry the player to Don Cherry the coach.

Madame managed to provided the perfect balance of serious sanctity and snarky sarcasm today. As today is Palm Sunday, Madame and BOTUS provided a nice tweet honoring our Savior. As the media has been all up in arms (pun intended) claiming that Madame is inciting violence, Madame put the proverbial smack down on the media today with a Facebook post using "violence inciting" satire. It's just to good to not do the ol' copy and paste:March Madness battles rage! My family and I join millions of Americans...

Time to catch my breath! Madame has been quite busy the past two days, so let me embed some video for you to see what we've been up to. It was like it 2008 all over again with Madame campaigning for Senator McAnonymous yesterday and today. She shines on the stump and does an especially good job of calling out the hecklers:Let me say that she also did an excellent job in Senator "I don't" Reid "the bills" backyard, speaking in Nevada today. It almost seemed like she was on the 2012 campaign stump....

Jonathan Bernstein analyzes Obama's recent speeches and draws some conclusions:What Obama is saying here is that politics, rightly understood, is the very core of what makes this nation a nation. Not individualism, not religiosity, and certainly not ethnicity or the land itself, but politics. . . . We, in the United States, do not accept history, or live through history -- we have the capacity, Obama (and Biden) say, to make history, through collective action, whether it is in the Revolution, the...
