A Brief Call to Order

Yes these are the Dog Days of summer. There’s not much to do and sniping is always entertaining. However there is a difference between sniping a simply whacking away with a sledge hammer. More than a few of my commentors have been simply rude rather than witty these last few days.

So, listen up: if you [...]

Must remember to pay the rent…

OK, back. Sorry about that. Press of work and all.

The strange thing is that while I was waiting for the folks at hostgator to reconnect me it was like a limb had been lost. Strange because I am on summer blogging hours and not posting all that much. But I find I still miss it.

Civilized Blogging….for Seven Years

Alan McLeod at Gen-Ex at 40 is celebrating, lamenting, being very cool with, his seventh year anniversary coming this Sunday.

If anyone in the Canadian blogosphere embodies the motto “keep it classy” it’s Alan. Plus he makes a positive fortune with one of the world’s most popular beer blogs.

Alan poses the question, “So what have you [...]

Greatness

BOTTOM STORY OF THE DAY: Ricky Martin confirms he’s gay. Who’s next — Elton John? the prof

One line, ten thousand hits. You’re the man Glenn.

To the memory hole with you!

“For example, if you look for old, old entries, we’ve whacked all of those. Buh-bye. Some, like Stockwell Day and the dinosaurs, were positively ancient. They may be out there in the Internet ether on Google or something, but I rather doubt they have much value.” the jackal

Hmmmm….

http://climateaudit.org/ and http://wattsupwiththat.com/ are both down at 3:10 PST

Hacked? DNS attack? Overheated servers?

http://www.climatedepot.com/ is still up.

UPDATE…Back 3:26…Just a glitch I presume.

War of the Poses - Day II

Ha…I laugh at the attempts of Five Feet, BCF and Flea! [Though all are inspiring – except the Doukhobors which are simply scary.]

The truth is that a single ad on Craigslist in Victoria and I have brilliant, beautiful women just dying to wear more clothes than they are in on the beach. And not just [...]

Back again…

Forgot to pay hosting…

A victory for Free Speech - Bloggers included!

(And watch for Lucy’s white towels to start being tossed into the ring.)
The Supreme Court of Canada has opened the door for journalists to use the defence of “responsible communication” against libel suits.
Canada’s highest court ruled Tuesday in two decisions that publishers can escape liability if they can show that they tried to verify the [...]

And…Back Again

Yes, despite the fond hopes of the few enemies I have and the delightfully wild suppositions by my pal Blazing Catfur (which pretty much ensure that Jay Currie and “meth head” will be forever linked in Google searches, I just had to shoot some cash over to my server and was too busy to get’er [...]

Digging Deeper

Kateland has just brought this to my attention. Good grief, when his mask slips, it sure keeps slipping.

“It is time,” says Arnie, “for the CJC to show the same tolerance for Christianity that has been shown for Jewish prayer by our Gentile homeland.”

Some time ago blogger “shlemazl” posted a little piece asking rhetorically what [...]

A Public Service

Now you don’t have to go to the Lying Jackal’s site to find out what he is wrong about: http://kinsellawatch.wordpress.com/ has just started offering a daily wrap on the Jackal’s spin.

“Every single day, Warren Kinsella spews out nonsense on his blog. Seeing as he rejects comments that he doesn’t like, said nonsense usually goes [...]

Different talents, same end

Kathy has a very handsome piece up in which she makes it clear that she considers neither Mark Steyn nor myself squishy on s. 13. (And yes, it is an honour to be mentioned in the same paragraph, much less sentence, as Mark.)

As far as I’m concerned Kathy can call me squishy anytime. We do [...]

Penny’s back from Pat Leave

He’s been missed.

Away….And Back….

Update: And, I’m back…moderation will now resume at its usual lightening pace.

I’m away from my computer from about 5:30 AM PST tomorrow morning. Arnie often stops by to moderate comments when I’m not around but he has other fish to fry I suspect.

So, if you comment and it does not appear please don’t think I [...]

Mish…Speaking Truth to Power

Mish tells Google how much Blogger sucks…and talks about the economy.

And We’re Back

Server annoyances.

What was interesting and rather gratifying is the number of people who wrote in pointing out that this blog was down for forty eight hours. Even more fun was that Skippy Stalin and the Dawg both cared enough to write.

I have to be doing something right.

Problem solved…back to invective.

A New Day

Canadian Cynic, usually foul mouthed, occasionally anti-Semitic has been outed as one Robert PJ Day.

Judging from his post on the matter he is suitably chastened and, perhaps, now that his identity is public, will be less inclined to call people Nazis, or to suggest to the mother of one of Canada’s fallen soldiers “fuck you [...]
