Likely when the CBC does.
Today, driving home I got to enjoy CBC promoting marxist Naomo Klein's latest piece of marxist propaganda.
You know Naomi Klein... She's married to marxist Avi Lewis who has his own marxist promoting show on CBC. Who is the son of marxist Stephen Lewis who is the son of marxist David Lewis. He's also the son of marxist Michelle Landsberg.
Then I got home in time to listen to Clare Demerse, marxist representative of the marxist "Pembina Institute".
No bias at CBC nope.
Canadian, Conservative and Sour. Satire, Cynicism, Snark and Sarcasm is Often the Best Medicine............... Stephen Harper's Favorite Blog

Lemon: Michael Byers, Leftist Commentator du Jour
Here
The Leftie media are always anxious to find a commentator who has credentials or at least a fancy title (i.e. Stephen Staples of the nebulous marxist leaning Rideau Institute) that they can use to push their agenda.
The latest is a western professor.
First off, "Stephen Harper's War"? How about Paul Martin and Bill Graham's War... They sent us in and then promoted us to a combat role.
Second, he thinks that our troops would be better off dying in Darfur and Lebanon. Why would this do "the world a lot more good"?
Third, are we really "pulling our punches" when we're in the vanguard in Afstan?
Fourth, "Canada has ceased to exist as an independent country".
Really.
According to Byers, these changes have "occurred slowly"...
I guess since January 26, 2006.

Lemon: The Last Cookie
We (BATB) had a point of view on cookies first that was supported by our other distaff contributor, MaryT, which was linked to far and wide. Read here.
Today The Star agrees with BATB's excellent point of view.
But this is after Tory poster boy Adam D. points at the Cookie Monster (Warren) and the way he operates - and according to the Adam, Warren would rip a Tory a new alimentary canal for saying something like he did.
I'm a foot soldier in the political warscape - try and help worthy (usually Tory but on one occasion even an NDP candidate) to move themselves forward. Not unlike Warren - I generally get paid to do it too.
And with all due and collegial respect for BATB and MaryT, I agree with Adam.
Politics is played for keeps. There is always only one winner and many losers.
I can remember my first campaign not quite a generation ago. Our advisor told us that if you have your foot on their throat you push down and hold.
I still ascribe to this theory (and repeat it to people I help out) and I suspect that Adam does as well and am fully convinced that Warren can also be a fairly efficient assassin.
Call me a wolf. Grrrr.
Warren (one of Dalton McGuinty's chief advisors) has said that in the coming campaign they will position John Tory as the illegitimate son of Mike Harris, fully committed to destroying western liberal society as we know it. But he has proven that it is Provincial Liberals who are misogynist women haters who indeed kill and eat kittens.

Lemon: Miller and Rose Coloured Glasses
The city needs new taxes to compete with big cities around the world, Miller said during the debate.
What colour is the sky in the City that David Miller lives in?
Who in their right mind thinks that Toronto competes in the ranks of even the top THIRTY cities in the world? Miller and his commie minions have driven Toronto down to the ranks of the Clevelands and Portlands. (Sorry Clevelanders and Portlandians)
In what way could Toronto ever be compared to a great city?
This Council can't even figure out how to balance a budget (think NYC think David Dinkins or send out invoices in the right amount for ice rental.
Thankfully, after the NDP gets thumped in the provincial election Miller will leave to take Howie Hampton's job. Bad news is we'll get Shelley Carroll as interim Mayor.
Buffoons, I tell you, Buffoons!!!

Evening Lemons Report Duff June 26
Duff says today soup to nuts.
Scottie Reid and Alex McDuhna must be on at the end.
Duff does cover Comuzzi joining the CPC. PMSH slams Dion's obsession with Environment at expense of economy.
Joe C - Duff says long line of Grits who have joined Tories. Joe says that PMSH right - broad base and wide appeal of CPC very important. Joe says was no deal.
Joe says Dion lied about this.
Duff asks why were some Grits allowed to stay who voted for the budget but you were kicked out. Joe says he hadn't even voted when he got kicked out - Dion never returned his calls. Duff says many Grit MPs say that Dion has moved party too far to the left - are there others that are going to defect? Joe says big movement of Grit supporters in Thunder Bay to CPC.
House Leaders: Peter Van Loan, Geoff Regan, Mumu Davies - Regan says growth in support for Steffi. NDPer once again has shorts in knots because other two parties can get people to cross floor but never once has anyone crossed the floor to the pathetic group that are the NDP. Even the Green's got Dion support.
Is there a realignment on philosophy by MPs - PVL says this is natural as CPC becomes national governing party. Says division continues in Grits - Iggy vs Dion, Kennedy Supporters vs Dion, Duff says that Regan always smiles every time Iggy stands up. Mumu Davies says NDP the strongest opposition party. Bullfeathers. They never need to be accountable for anything they say - get to be eternal poseurs. Says Bev Desjarlais was never booted out of caucus (bullfeathers redux). Van Loan is much better on camera than stuck in a chair next to Ralphie Hedgehog.
Pauline Marois proclaimed as head of the PQ. Regan gives commercial that separatists are dead - forgets to mention that PMSH is responsible for this. Van Loan reminds everyone.
CPC MPs telling friends that three CN lines will be shut down between Toronto and Ottawa/Montreal. Duff interviews Shawn Brant - the terrorist American maybe-Indian Mohawk (remember Ward Churchill). Won't leave home because police looking for him. Likely also slowing down highway. Can't wait til Shawn stands in front of a tired Semi driver trying to hand out a leaflet. Video show his warriors preparing weapons of war.
He wants uncompromprised and unconditional support. Also shows fights between indians and pale faces. And he wants mutual support? I support throwing his sorry ass in jail and I bet so will every other person who gets inconvenienced. Pathetic.
Head of Cdn Railway Association - How do RRs respond? Says only a localized incident - how is shutting down this RR line a localized incident?? Cares less about his passengers & customers than about the terrorist indians who want to shut down his railroad.
McGrath, McKinnon and Benoit. Roxie says Minister Prentice working very hard cleaning up Grit DIANA disaster. When I was in NWT everyone kept talking about Diana. Diana this, Diana that. Finally figured out it was Dept of Indian and Northern Affairs.
Fife and Weston - Says everybody hoping for a peaceful protest - suurrre. Thats why Duff is promising full media coverage. Both say hotheads could burn themslves if they screw this up.
Okay show - only about 1/2 was mindless chatter, which is better than usual. Give Duff 5/10.

Evening Blue Lemons Report June 20
Sorry - tuned in late - what did I miss?
Jack Layton doesn't agree with Stephen Harper. Likely the best possible thing.
Duff has Siksay, Kenny and Dom Leblanc from Shediac - has anyone ever been in Shediac? Great lobster, not much at anything else including politicians. He has a job because his father Romeo gave up his job so that Jean Chretien could get an easy seat and as a reward was appointed Governor General. Duff says David Miller is looking to be a Federal Politician (it's not a well kept secret that Miller wants to eff up Canada the way he effed up Toronto) and how he pandered and caved in on the yellow ribbon decal on fire trucks thing.
Jim Peterson resigned - so another by-election for Martha along with Bobby Rae. Liberals . . . No sacrifice is too great so long as you use it to benefit another Liberal and receive perqs down the road
Kenny waiting for Garth Turner to announce he will run in a by-election.
Siksay says that he can't wait to see all the Leader Candidates pushing each other out of the way to be the first to stab the last place in Dion's back that Iggy hasn't already plunged a knife into.
Liberal Senators Kill Term Limit on Senators!!!
This is an outrage. These Grit Bag People have no dignity, no value to Canada, should all be fired.
PMSH said, in rejecting of terms for less than 45 years it has defied the house, the party leader and the people of Canada. Reform will come with or without them.
Open up the constitution and kill the senate. Ideally, kill the senate pensions.
Meanwhile, kill SQUABBLIZATION. Tell Lorne from Sask to take a hike - he was begging at the Senate today. The stupid pleading to the senile.
Flaherty says no big deal the three LOSER Provinces complained, pissed and moaned. Why do the territories even have a seat at these meetings - there are more people within a solid three iron within my place in Toronto.
Chuck Adler was on Duffy on yellow ribbons. He was great on this - the commie councillors didn't show up for the vote. Miller said that he changed his mind when three more Canadian soldiers were killed today. What! Soldiers have to die for Miller to support them? Dirtbag, corrupt, sleazy socialist.
NEVER, EVER, EVEN IF YOU'RE HIGH ON HEROIN AND HE PROMISES YOU A FREE HIT, EVER VOTE SOCIALIST!!!!
EVEN IF THEY BUY YOU A SKIDOO IN DECEMBER.
EVEN IF THEY ALLOW YOU TO KEEP 10% OF YOUR INCOME - NEVER VOTE SOCIALIST.
A VOTE FOR MILLER IS A VOTE FOR LENIN!!!
Duff says that Sask Party running ahead of NDP. Bye Bye Lorne, don't let the door smack you in the back of the head when you leave office.
Travers on Newman. He goes on, and on, and on... I wonder if Susan Delacourt is really Travers in a wig... Has anyone ever seen them in the same place at the same time? They say the same crap eternally. General thought is that the former Leader Candis want to be incumbents but don't want Dion to win...Newman says, if the Liberals are running to lose, than they're really dumb.
Pretty good 40 minutes. Glad (it appears) the session is over.
Will take up the pen in the fall when the hill-billies are back to work.
Thanks for all of you that read this spring - especially those who commented.
I'll continue to look for embarrassing moments in the absence of the old pale faced farts.

Evening Citrons Bleu Report June 19
Revised title to honour Stephane Dion's Hinglish Lessons.
I'm back to light upon the pasty-faced old white guys for one more attempt to find something interesting to blog about.
For two months the brawdcasts have been as dreery as a January day in Nunavut, except for the mid-day moon, starving dogs and poverty.
Duff - Flaherty wants equal share of pie, the Cadfather, John Crosbie, Bill (who is not gay) Graham resigns.
GRITS WANT BY-ELECTION TO GET RAE IN THE HOUSE!!!
There has been suspicion that Bob Rae wasn't too glad about maybe waiting until Fall 09 to run as an MP in Toronto Centre. Thoughts that he might wish to step down to move on with his life.
Now this tip from Duffy.
Once more, Grits do something to help their friends. Ohhhh to be a Liberal. Just for one day. (Cause I couldn't stand to lose more than one night's sleep.
No word from the other candidate in Toronto Centre, Mark Warner. Rumour is that he's been canvassing hard since February. He's a very solid candidate - world respected trade lawyer, active community volunteer, attended World's AIDS Conference.
Roddy Macdonald whining on Newman about wanting more money. He and The Newfus Doofus really want to be Grit MPs in the old days - double dip - collect pensions and get appointed to a UN Committee in Geneva. I am embarrassed to be a Maritimer and feel disgraced. They want to keep their jobs and continue to collect welfare.
Duff covers graduation ceremony for Al Qaeda suicide bombers (He didn't get his honourary degree there) - notes no-fly list - do they need to be put on the list? Doh. I hope CSIS will carefully program the faces into facial recognition systems. NDP Old Cromartin, is NOT worried about this happening. Says he's more worried about home-grown... Terrorists or Pot, Joe?
Steffi Dion says he's ready to wear pantaloons to win, and that there should be right away a by-election. Assumption that Bob Rae will win - Steffi says he'd like to have someone else in the House to stab him in the back other than Iggy. Says that Harper underminding his himage. Seems he's doing pretty good on his own. Want to know the music of the language so taking Hinglish lessons. Says Mr. 'Arper would be much better dan me to be announcer for Fox Nedwork. Predicts he will win all the debates. Mr. Arper beetwayed the people and some other stuff I couldn't understand. Twust will be key. Says he never broke his word (let's fact check this one - how about on the Fiscal Imbalance?? He stared out okay then became unintelligible again.
Get THIS - it's rich - he will clean up the mess that Mister 'Arper is leaving behind....
Real RICH - think of the 'Arper mess - Afstan Prisoners (LIBERAL MISTAKE), Softwood Lumber (LIBERAL FIASCO), Income TRUST (LIBERAL CHARLIE FOXTROT), Atlantic Accord (MARTIN DISASTER), RCMP Corruption (CHRETIEN"S BUDDY and GANG), KYOTO (Dion Flop).
AND HE WANTS TO CLEAN THESE UP??
He should - he was a key Cab Min when it all happened.
Reminds me of the old Newfie joke about how Joey Smallwood should marry Newfoundland...
Newman brings up Liberal promises broken. Will remove the cap and reput in place Da Atlantic Accord.
Various tributes to Bill Graham.
Van Loan says that won't be in a rush to call a by-election - way too many (and none are Tory seats).
Rick Anderson has a great line, "It's not as if there's enough room for a party on the left, it's whether there's room for three!!"
Newman wonders if NDP hasn't run out of gas - 46 years of doctrinaire socialist clap trap and vote splitting. Have a 17% ceiling and maybe a 10% floor. The consensus is that the NDP are in trouble. Newman brings forward the 3 party split of the left. LeDrew gives Ellie May way too much credit.
Newman says good bye to the panel until the fall. Looks like prorogue tomorrow.
Was glad I tuned in tonight. Got to throw a right jab or two at Steffi in real time.
Will give the old farts a 7/10 for finishing their season with a decent show.

Evening Lemons Report Bonner Duff June 5 - Casey Votes NO!!
Fire Casey's Butt - NOW!!!!
Duff: Calls his show a Broadcast . . .
Bill Casey says he has no choice. Will he get the boot? PMSH in Paris on Kyoto and Afstan. GWB trying to chill Putin's new cold war. G8 Preview, etc.
Bonner: Bill Casey - vote is in 45 minutes. Issue is Atlantic Accord. Won't spend much time with Bonner. Not up to the challenge.
Duff - Bill Casey is reading a "contract" in debate with Van Loan. There is a simple solution to this - call the NSers bluff, withdraw the other deal - Heap insults on Paul Martin for doing such a stupid deal and how it was a stab in the back of Ontario / Quebec / Alberta / BC and how Nova Scotia and NFLD will be driving BMWs while Ontarians and Quebecers will be riding in wagons. Give up on winning any more seats on the East Coast - there aren't enough to matter anyway.
PVL explains how if the NSers vote to defeat bill, then huge benefits will be withdrawn.
Ralphie Hedgehog says it breaks promises - bad outweighs the good - does this mean the Grits will vote against it? Ralph admits that tradition would call for Casey to get canned. All of a sudden Bill Casey is a very respected and thoughtful MP according to Libby. Did she say the same think a week ago??
Can His Ass if he votes against it!!! He can run as an NDPer next time.
PVL explains they have an option - they can stay with the old arrangement and give up the new money. Up to them - there's the answer. Take it OFF THE TABLE. And MAKE SURE the productive provinces know that the Grits did a stupid deal and that THEY have to pay for it. Duff says NDP surging in NS - Maritimers (I'm one by the way) never look after their own interests. NDP... Puhleeze.
Fixident, Reverse Mortgages, Comfy Bathtubs - wow - do these shows ever know how to target their audiences: grumpy old farts. I'm more of a grumpy not-old-yet fart.
PMSH on climate change and Afstan with French PM. Generally on the same page.
Sarkozy is a shrimp!!! Gotta be worried about short French leaders . . . Remember Napoleon - he actually wasn't that short - about 5'7". And look what he did. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Babs MacDougall doesn't think Putin wants to disrupt the G-8 - needs the other 7.
Phil Fontaine sans pony tail - fast track on land claims. He's optimistic. Hard to believe that Phil has become the voice of reason in the aboriginal community. Let's see if Mike asks about the Day of Action... He does - Phil says position is clear - never advocates breaking the law. Wants to reach out to Canadians.
The bells are ringing - Bill Casey to get his moment of fame.
Bonner - Grit Senators still trying to kill 8 year term limits. Blames provinces - Sen Oliver says this is horse manure. Provinces have no right to be consulted. Port Elgin's John Bryden hangs on to the blaming the provinces right to approve amending formula for Senate. Trudeau gave them a gift that keeps giving. Bryden wants a reference to the SCOC - means all the siting Grit Senators will have another 5 or 6 years.
Sorry - was having a snack.
Ian MacDonald & Greg Weston - hangover from the Martin Open Bar Yard Sale deals with provinces. That's the only way that this whole thing can be sold - that Martin sold out Ontario, QC, Alberta and BC for a few seats in the Maritimes. Macdonald says Dion is Dead, Dead, Dead in Quebec - 12% - 6 months after getting elected. Most Canadians can't picture Dion as a PM.
That's it - I kinda took a little break in the middle but don't think I missed anything meaningful.
Kinda peed off that Paula Todd always gets the last five minutes.
Overall, a decent hour of pathetic bafflegab. 5/10
Note - Voting for Budget Implementation Act...
Casey VOTES AGAINST Amendments to C-52
Grits voted against, PQ for. NDP weren't sure what they were voting for or against and teh Greens don't get to vote.

PVL explains they have an option - they can stay with the old arrangement and give up the new money. Up to them - there's the answer. Take it OFF THE TABLE. And MAKE SURE the productive provinces know that the Grits did a stupid deal and that THEY have to pay for it. Duff says NDP surging in NS - Maritimers (I'm one by the way) never look after their own interests. NDP... Puhleeze.
Fixident, Reverse Mortgages, Comfy Bathtubs - wow - do these shows ever know how to target their audiences: grumpy old farts. I'm more of a grumpy not-old-yet fart.
PMSH on climate change and Afstan with French PM. Generally on the same page.
Sarkozy is a shrimp!!! Gotta be worried about short French leaders . . . Remember Napoleon - he actually wasn't that short - about 5'7". And look what he did. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Babs MacDougall doesn't think Putin wants to disrupt the G-8 - needs the other 7.
Phil Fontaine sans pony tail - fast track on land claims. He's optimistic. Hard to believe that Phil has become the voice of reason in the aboriginal community. Let's see if Mike asks about the Day of Action... He does - Phil says position is clear - never advocates breaking the law. Wants to reach out to Canadians.
The bells are ringing - Bill Casey to get his moment of fame.
Bonner - Grit Senators still trying to kill 8 year term limits. Blames provinces - Sen Oliver says this is horse manure. Provinces have no right to be consulted. Port Elgin's John Bryden hangs on to the blaming the provinces right to approve amending formula for Senate. Trudeau gave them a gift that keeps giving. Bryden wants a reference to the SCOC - means all the siting Grit Senators will have another 5 or 6 years.
Sorry - was having a snack.
Ian MacDonald & Greg Weston - hangover from the Martin Open Bar Yard Sale deals with provinces. That's the only way that this whole thing can be sold - that Martin sold out Ontario, QC, Alberta and BC for a few seats in the Maritimes. Macdonald says Dion is Dead, Dead, Dead in Quebec - 12% - 6 months after getting elected. Most Canadians can't picture Dion as a PM.
That's it - I kinda took a little break in the middle but don't think I missed anything meaningful.
Kinda peed off that Paula Todd always gets the last five minutes.
Overall, a decent hour of pathetic bafflegab. 5/10
Note - Voting for Budget Implementation Act...
Casey VOTES AGAINST Amendments to C-52
Grits voted against, PQ for. NDP weren't sure what they were voting for or against and teh Greens don't get to vote.

Where have all the Liberal MPs gone
Has anyone seen Paul Martin, Billl Graham, Belinda, Scott lately in the House of Commons?
Does Volpe and the rest of the dream team show up?
As someone asked in comments, why are we paying these missing liberals. Bloc and NDP are also missing, but they are not a government in waiting, and never will be.
Senators are deducted pay for missing days, how about MPs?
Maybe all those Grits that are leaving the sinking ship have taken early retirement, or maybe they think the House is in recess.

Evening Lemons Report Newman Duff June 1
Duff - Red Day on Parliament Hill, Report on Benefits to Cdn Soldiers, Pirates of the Canadian Being
Brawdcast - Sale of Stelco, New Anti-Pirate Law, Charest Govt Survives to screw up another day
Duff: Greg Thompson on supporting Canadian soldiers - Minister O'Connor addresses problem very quickly. Was Treasury Board guideline left over from Grits. Duff asks, what about the big events in Arena's? Should Feds pay for this? Greg - what are reasonable expenses? Gagetown had event on the base. Tough issue. What about wounded soldiers? Get 3 years to rehab then lump sum if can't get back to service. Vet's Charter - among most generous in world - lump sum and % of salary based upon level of disability. Death payment receive $250k tax free plus education benefits for spouse and education for children.
Newman talking about foreign takeovers. No complaints about how Canadians buy more foreign companies than the reverse. Collin Carrie on for first time - does pretty well.
Duff on NDP supporting soldiers but disagreeing with mission. Peggy Nash says their job to ask if correct mission. Say biggest fan of soldiers - even knows a family that had a son that knew someone who actually met a soldier who was wounded in battle, so she knows what it's really like.
What about another $1.2 mill in travel budget, sez Duff. Ablonzcy says travel is part of the job.
Judy Sgro of Moncton and stripper campaign worker fame goes on and on and says nothing. Says 90% of world not accounted for in foreign policy. What about Vanuatu and Paul Martin using it as a tax haven?
Captain Jack Sparrow on to discuss film piracy. Actually it's Sam Bulte's fundraiser Doug Frith - amazing resemble to Johnny Depp. (Sam was in charge of this under the Grits and Doug is head of Motion Picture Association in Canada). He does give credit to Oda and Nicholson for pushing bill through.
With Newman, Oda explains that Canada was put on the watch list many years ago. 2 year sentence for first charge. Will try to rush through House before recess.
Duff - Quebec Budget passes. Old news.
Newman on Quebec budget passing. Old news. Time for a spellcheck.
Sask has bought ad on Duff - another one of our starving provinces with extra cash lying around.
Scott Reid against Powers on Duff. What is up with Power's hair? Dom Leblanc, multi-generational Grit member from Shediac has comparison of Harper statements and GWB's. Powers says MacCallum said that Iggy was a right wing American. Come on, scotty - get loud and stupid - you're more fun. Reid mentions presentation doe to CPC leadership by US pollster. Powers reminds Howard Dean and Jim Carville both acted as consultants to Grit.
I am falling asleep.
Galloway and Blinky Oliver on Duff next.
Travesty and the rest of the Liberal Media Team on Newman - 2 Star opinion heads, 1 CBC, a CP and Greg Weston - lotsa Grit fans there - no CPC types from the Post. Delacourt seems to be bored - certainly is dull. Needs a makeover. Weston might see better but doesn't look better without specs. Tit for Tat in QP - Newman says that Grits need to continue to be disappointed about Dion - even Travers agrees with this. Newman says Dion is unintelligible with no enthusiasm. CBC geek says HOC will be on til June 22 - says Iggy always overshadows Steffi. Newman says there is obvious competition between Iggy and Steffi. Everyone looking for Cabinet shuffle this summer. Delacourt leaks story that Grits want to bring down government after Ontario election.
Says Grits will campaign on big Grit team and history not on leadership. (Of course the CPC will make it about leadership).
Travers says unlikely - all parties have to vote against CPC and means Bloc and NDP will both do what the Grits want.
Weston says that Dion can only get better. Guess what, Greg, ask a golfer - when you think it can't possibly get worse, it gets waaaay worse. Dion if he stays the same will more and more every day be seen as a weak leader.
Blinky says that O'Connor bad at politics. Duff says that the bureaucracy is frozen as far as having initiative. Forgets about how anxious they are to leak private documents.
Dull and dreary program. Everyone is just putting in time in the media and in the house. Steffi, for your own well being and my sanity, let PMSH know that you will let a couple of bills go through and let him call this session mercifully to an end!!!
3/10 because of Delacourt's leak that some Grits wanna take down the CPC after Ontario election. Too bad she doesn't talk to anyone but the Liberals or she'd know this dog don't hunt. Shows her limited breadth of relationships.

Anyone Else Tired of CPC Commentators and Tight Control?
If I get disappointed, how about the rest of the CPC Nation?
I can understand the strategy of moving to the middle. Frankly, (even as a one time Reformer) the middle is the place to be. And those CPC members who won't accept any concessions whatsoever to the big lazy group of small l libs and small c cons are determined to let the Big S Socialists run our country. And thereby let the Grits rule in perpetuity.
My tipping point to be a critic of some of the stuff going on came with a refusal of the PM to revisit capping of the FedTax on gas. I was pissed off when the Grits wouldn't do it, and I'm pissed off that PMSH won't.
I can also understand the desire to control messaging. But the dumbo eruptions of Gallant, Thompson, Anders et al are in the past.
And the Facebook ban is plain dumb.
The Grits send out their A Team to represent their positions: Goodale, Hall Finlay, Rattard Kennedy, (even Raccoon Reid) et al.
We send out Van Loan, Norquay, Jiro, and Hill.
Jay is okay, but the rest are duds.
Our party looks like it's composed of cementheads.
Unless the PM wants to do all the public appearances himself (he IS our Gretzky) Helen Gorgeous, Jaffer and Powers should be front and centre.
Let's get some people in front of cameras that can make an impression and put up an argument, not just avoid embarrassment.

Send Out The Legal Hounds!!!
The Opposition, like all Canadian political parties (except the NDP) is composed more of lawyers than any other line of work. And when your only tool is a hammer, all your problems look like nails.
The Grits are proceeding with legal suits to "protect their reputations".
First Gerard Kennedy who wants to nail Jon Kay and the National Post to a legal cross.

Although Dion, Bains and Alghabra have also been upset by such allegations, Kennedy says in the statement that he's in the best position to challenge the "unfounded and defamatory allegations" published in the Post article.What's interesting about this (previous post) is that it has been alleged that Mssrs Bains and Alghabra were the ones working behind the scenes, not Kennedy. Gerrard is possibly in the best position to challenge the allegations because discovery will not be undertaken against any other parties.

How Did I Miss the Horton's Sign Story?
Yesterday I read our local paper and read the small item re the sign on a Tim Horton's window, in Lethbridge. I thought of posting on it and then figured it was a non story. Boy, was I wrong.
Today it is in the g&m.
A national boycott of Tim Hortons is being called for. Some of the comments are vicious. It was done as a joke, a very bad joke, by a teenager. Management has punished the guilty party and apologized to everyone that may have been insulted.
There is more outrage against this teenager than there is against the teens who murdered a student or stabbed a BC youth, or attacked a ref or killed a taxi driver.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it brought up in the House of Commons by the ndp as proof that Alberta is full of racists and evidence the govt will do nothing for the natives. Too bad the g&m didn't feel it was important to publicize all the evidence re the sponsorship and adscam scandals as it was developing, or to tell the truth re the algore scam or the liberals inaction for years on the kyoto scam.

Evening Lemons Report Bonner Akin May 24
Akin in for Duffy, so MDL is a loss. Quebec budget. Foreign credentials. Usual Grit and NDP opinion makers plus Goofie Newfie Doofus Danny Williams. Disappointed that Harper cancelled dinner with Premiers. Why the hell would PMSH ever even have tea with Williams.
Bonner in for Newman.
Both of the old farts don't see any reason to show up for work today. So we have two smiling pleasant faces, one male and dark, one female and blonde, filling in for two old farts who know how to do their job.
It does define the difference between CBC and CTV, though: Blonde/Dark, Male/Female. The only thing the same is the bias.
Michael Bryant on hand gun ban on Bonner. Bryant explains how murder yesterday was a terrible tragedy but that gun crime is down. I'm sure this will provide great solace to the young dead guy's family and friends. More fake compassion used for personal benefit this time by a politician. Not Canadian to shoot kids, Bryant says. Deep.
This night might have some promise afterall, second string interviewers and interviewees might lead to some real stupid questions and even dumber answers.
Oops. Spoke too fast. Looks like the Ceeb at least is gonna go to the Toronto Police Chief's news conference.
Don't they know what this does to my early eve blogging? Don't they realize that satisfying my audience and attracting readers is far more important than them doing the same? They don't get it. This hour is about ME!!! Memememememe.
God, Doofus Danny is a turd...
Akin on the Quebec budget, Ceeb is on the news conference.
Does anyone here care about the Quebec budget? Me Not. Except for the portion that comes outta my pocket.
Notice the Ceeb refered to the "shooting" of Jordan Manners.
Wasn't the event the "murder" of Jordan Manners.
Would they have treated it differently if Jordan had been murdered by a knife or rope?
I suspect they would have. Bang is much more newsworthy than the others.
Ceeb ducks out to get back to the Brawdcast.
Bonner on with Van Load (sic), Dom Leblanc and Joe Cromartin.
Complete ban? Van Loan offers sympathy. Says don't know how murder took place. Bonner uses Miller and McGuinty as sources to get CPC to ban handguns. Peter says not the day to grandstand on this issue. Thats what M&M do best. grandstand.
Leblanc is an idiot - son of Romeo - the bagman from Shediac who gave up his seat to get Chretien a safe entry to the House and then was named House Speaker.
Jope Cromartin can't remember JANE CREBA's name. Who was killed 200 yards from my place on Boxing Day. With a banned hand gun.
Like Van Loan said how many times can you ban something.
Cormartin agrees that the guys who wanna ban hand guns are grandstanding.
Bonner is better than Akin, she at least seems like she has a feel for the to and fro. Akin only gets the fro.
Leblanc, Shediac's favorite son, is a buffoon, brewed in the bad breath of Gritism.
Alghabra, Chow and Kenney on Akin . . .
Never has there been such useless self-serving panelists on either of these shows as Chow and Alghabra (who reportedly raised $250000 for his Grit nomination) and Chow (who with her hubby Talitubby Jack) who I have heard uses the Island Airport after making nuclear level noise to try and shut it down.
I wonder what the real story was on Alghabra's nomination? Something like this was "a victory for Islam" comment from one of his chief supporters. Alghabra rambles on, Kenney looks on with a bemused smile, like he knows something he dare not say.
Chow Chow gives NDP credit for program to recognize foreign credentials. I wonder if she would have minded a doctor from Zimbabwe who finished last in hsi class doing her surgery, even in a private clinic?
Danny the Dimwit wants AFN (the natives) to have seat on the Council of the Federation. What about ME!!!! It's about ME!!! What about German Scots!!! Why don't WE (represented by ME) get a seat on the Council. Huh, Danny? Separate your island back into the stone age. I'll buy my fish somewhere else. What's that? Oh, you don't have any fish left? Too damn bad. I'll eat cake instead.
Akin got Joy, Reynolds and Hall Finlay (is her last name Hall or Finlay?)(Why does SHE get two last names? Is she special or just act like it?)
Wooo, topic is having one securities regulator across Canada. That'll get Akin a lot of viewers.
Lunn on foreign credentials on Bonner. All has been said. I wonder how Canadians would react given a choice, a Russian Certified Accountant? an English Dentist? A Namibian Architect? a Borneo trained Brain Surgeon? or a Canadian homebrew of any creed.
I've had enough for one evening.
Got a BBQ to fire up.
If you had the patience to get this far I honour you.

Evening Blue Lemons Report Newman Akin May 22
Yippee!!! Newsworld is gonna do the Manitoba election tonite. Can't wait.
Akin is in for Duffy- I tune in for Duff not under-informed and overly-opinionated talking head replacements. Click.
The Brawdcast - Harper in Afstan on Canadian Aid. Paul Hunter quotes poll "problems". I thinks polls ARE the problem. Karsai says that no evidence of any torture of detainees. Just the CPC government by Grits and Dippers looking to find something to complain about.
Pictures of PMSH with kids in orphan schools, visiting Tim's tomorrow and meeting troops. Might travel outside the wire - good, Ceeb, let's let the Taliban know that their chief Canadian opponent / leader is within rocket range.
Coderre not surprised PM there - says was a getaway with stylist girlfriend and to build up his airmiles. You remember Hezbollah Denis. He LOVES Islamic terrorists. He's an insult to the Liberal Party (and that says a lot). Dawn Black says clearly is not going great for government (like they're going great for the Dippers). If her political career doesn't work out she can go back to her old job, taking phone messages and counting paper clips. She does take a piece of Coderre. He on defensive.
Newman - What's wrong with seeing things for himself? Denis says, it's not that a PM is going, it's the himself. Should be me or Steffi Dion. Dawn wants PMSH to get his head cut off in a personal meeting with the Taliban.
The Grits have a Hezbollah supporter as defense critic and the Dippers a secretary. Very credible.
Newman shuts them up, when they speak over him, he shuts them down.
Akin does feature on pissed off Tin Hat conservatives. PMSH not right wing enough for them. Fine - they can vote Green or Grit. Gerry Nicholls also wants to go back to the days of splitting vote to let the Grits always win. Says that if this happens, it's Harper's advisors fault. Akin does have a good point that CPC can afford to lose support in Alberta.
So Harper is scary right wing to the Dippers and Grits and scary left wing to the ex-reformers.
Means he's probably right. I mean centre.
Ed Broadbent on electoral reform in Ontario. He likes it. I have written somewhere on this before - the proposed scheme is bogus. Newman says that unlikely people will vote for a different party and a different party candidate. Ed doesn't understand the formula. Stumbles. Then refers to the way it works in Germany. Does he know something we don't know - either he is talking out of school or doesn't know wtf he's saying. I say the latter. Broadbent says that he likes it because more Tories would be elected in Ottawa. No fool like an old NDP fool. Both old farts chatter about what it actually consists of. If they can't figure this out, how the heck will voters? Broadbutt won't let it go. He shoulda read up on it before the Newman show.
McGrath, Yaro and Steve MacMartin (kinnon) on Akin. Eastern Block is falling down. Falling down. Falling down. Eastern Block is falling down, My Fair Belinda. On Committee Playbook - I was aghast. First that it would be written down, then leaked. What is it about Mackinnon's bangs? He desperately needs a makeover. Cue image consultant.
Rick Anderson with Senators shirt on - doesn't he know the senate buffet is not gonna be offered to non-elected former reformers?
Robin Sears agrees that it's time to call it quits to this sitting of Parliament. Expects big picture nationalistic messaging. Baldy LeDrew asks to respond to question whether gov is serious about governing. What the hell would this bankrupt buffoon know about serious?
Duff in Manitoba for Election. Looks rough. Stay in Ottawa Mike. Winnipeg is beautiful in the summer. Have a martini in the lounge at the Fort Geary Hotel.
Weston and Galloway on Akin. Gloria says she hears from her inside contacts that the Tories are right wing nuts who will vote Liberal so long as the Globe and Whail continues to slag Harper. Calls Stefi - Mr. Dion and Talitubby Jack: Mr. Layton. No bias there. Gloria is acting silly. Red faced and flopping around.
Still in Silly Season. Will be for the next three months or so.
Won't be blogging the shows tomorrow - life things to do.
Especially for shows like today which was 3/10.

Akin does feature on pissed off Tin Hat conservatives. PMSH not right wing enough for them. Fine - they can vote Green or Grit. Gerry Nicholls also wants to go back to the days of splitting vote to let the Grits always win. Says that if this happens, it's Harper's advisors fault. Akin does have a good point that CPC can afford to lose support in Alberta.
So Harper is scary right wing to the Dippers and Grits and scary left wing to the ex-reformers.
Means he's probably right. I mean centre.
Ed Broadbent on electoral reform in Ontario. He likes it. I have written somewhere on this before - the proposed scheme is bogus. Newman says that unlikely people will vote for a different party and a different party candidate. Ed doesn't understand the formula. Stumbles. Then refers to the way it works in Germany. Does he know something we don't know - either he is talking out of school or doesn't know wtf he's saying. I say the latter. Broadbent says that he likes it because more Tories would be elected in Ottawa. No fool like an old NDP fool. Both old farts chatter about what it actually consists of. If they can't figure this out, how the heck will voters? Broadbutt won't let it go. He shoulda read up on it before the Newman show.
McGrath, Yaro and Steve MacMartin (kinnon) on Akin. Eastern Block is falling down. Falling down. Falling down. Eastern Block is falling down, My Fair Belinda. On Committee Playbook - I was aghast. First that it would be written down, then leaked. What is it about Mackinnon's bangs? He desperately needs a makeover. Cue image consultant.
Rick Anderson with Senators shirt on - doesn't he know the senate buffet is not gonna be offered to non-elected former reformers?
Robin Sears agrees that it's time to call it quits to this sitting of Parliament. Expects big picture nationalistic messaging. Baldy LeDrew asks to respond to question whether gov is serious about governing. What the hell would this bankrupt buffoon know about serious?
Duff in Manitoba for Election. Looks rough. Stay in Ottawa Mike. Winnipeg is beautiful in the summer. Have a martini in the lounge at the Fort Geary Hotel.
Weston and Galloway on Akin. Gloria says she hears from her inside contacts that the Tories are right wing nuts who will vote Liberal so long as the Globe and Whail continues to slag Harper. Calls Stefi - Mr. Dion and Talitubby Jack: Mr. Layton. No bias there. Gloria is acting silly. Red faced and flopping around.
Still in Silly Season. Will be for the next three months or so.
Won't be blogging the shows tomorrow - life things to do.
Especially for shows like today which was 3/10.

Evening Blue Lemons Report Newman Duff May 17
Duff - Income Trust Charges, Charges? Daily scraps.
Newman - Informal Committee Meeting - no Chair
Silly Season in the House...
On Newman
Red Julie on empty committee meeting. Liberal Hack Witnesses don't get chance to beg more money.
Attaran (Islam Iggy Lover) filibustered out of committee. Never has a filibuster been so well used. Aw, his nerves were frayed...
He can go and get sympathy from his patrone Iggy.
Jay Hill says opposition is acting like a coalition government and wants to have their way. Ralphie Hedgehog says Parliament going through rough patch... Master of the understatement was well as the under achievement.
Duff - Income Trust Investigation -- Of course the Grits say that the bulge post non-announcement was just good analysis on Bay Street. I will bet all my gains from the Income Trust scam that this was indeed a scam. Seeing as all those who know about it are likely to be charged, small wonder they're closing ranks. Millions of dollars were made on Bay Street by this leak. Dozens of rich people could go to jail.
Back to Newman - power struggle between unelected coalition and minority. Ralph and Jay scrapping hard - Jay - watch your ankles... The Hedgehog. Scary. Ankle-biter.
Libby barely gets a word in.
Much more active Newmanduff today and I gotta leave about 545.
Libby claims NDP are the only working caucus. Seeing as how they never actually have to ever do anything they probably are. Working hard on doing nothing. All they have is the power to do is screw things up.
Duff - George Baker calls someone a sookie baby. What the hell is a "sookie baby". That's before my time... Sounds kinda sexy. Is George Baker comparing some MPs to Eastern European immigrant stripper/hookers? It's humorous to see old washed up "no turbans in the RCMP" George Baker and cool low key westerner Terry Strattan going at it. Like a terrier trying to take a bite out of a sheepdog. Baker et al trying to nail Marjorie LeBreton. Don't tell Mr. LeBreton.
Complaints about summer school funding cuts. Given the non-existent unemployment rate, is there any need for a summer student program at all?? Why not do an analysis to prove that with a 5% unemployment rate we need the same funding as with a 15% unemployment rate? Know that in Ontario any student who wants a job can get one. Likely same in Alberta. New program is for those who genuinely have a problem getting jobs - rural, aboriginal, etc. Makes sense to me. Why not just eliminate all jobs and contribute funds to provinces to do with as they wish? Reduce tuition if desired. Hire needy Eastern Euro Strippers if the provincial MPPs prefer.
Committee Chaos on Duff - PMSH looks great in a nice suit. He tends to wear frumpy suits - improvement - thanks to image consultant?
Tom Lukiwiski bitches about the Liberal Senate - what happened to it being an advisory body? It was until the last 15 months. The Grits filled the old fart house with old used up hacks and they are now determining the legislative agenda. Fire all their old wrinkled asses. And Jimmy The K, who I believe exists purely with the support of Islamic nuts, is supporting the Senate. Throws dirt around on all Tories.
I feel like I'm live blogging a bar fight.
Martha Hall Finlay on Strat Session on Duff - no mention of whether nudity was involved with her sleep over. Joy is funny - I like her. For an NDPer she's cool. Reynolds, says Harper, tough, fair and honest. Forgets boring and controlling. Is anyone working on the uncalled election and tried to do anything locally?? Duff on Carroll, as soon as he got candid Iggy and Coderre demanding that he get fired. Blood on the street it's up to their ankles.
Gotta run.
Today was a 6/10 only 45 minutes in. Silly season in Ottawa is like the weather in November.

Evening Blue Lemons Report Newman Duff May 16
The Brawdcast - Clean Air Act - NDP motion will not get debated until Friday - Libby is pissy about this - says Pete Van Loan is mean spirited and CPC are bullies. PVL says NDP missed chance last Friday. Libby tries to shout over Newman - bad move. Libby wasn't told that opposition day had changed. Click.
Duff - Grit MP said CPC MP crossed floor to pound him into putty, Ban on Foreigner Peelers
Phil Fontaine says a summer of unrest unless we fold and give them all our cash. Senate thinks this is a great idea providing none of the cash is their's. Let's start a new bureaucracy to manage (perhaps staffed with Senators who have served their 8 years?) Neville (LPOC) and Crowder (NDP) - says problem in Native community is delays in Land Claims and lack of hope. Some people - including many FN people - work and study to create hope.
Minister Prentice - needs to reform system. 60 years of discussion on Senate idea to have new bureaucracy.
Duff shocked that FN people can't use Human Rights Act. CPC wants to change this - Opps will not allow this to pass - undermined by their "leaders" who want to keep "their people" under their thumb. The Indian Poverty Pimps at work.
Newman - Bill delay on Kyoto Targets - Sen Tkachuk says Grits rushed through bill in an abusive way. Grits says Tories held it up.
So far tonight is deserving to be place on the do not watch list. Boooorrrring. Where is the Foreign Peelers debate?
Julie the Red on Campaign Life using GOC logo. Newman's Bobblehead panel. Nothing issue. Nothing worth commenting on.
Duff with Dom Leblanc, Jason K and Bill Siksay on dust-up in HOC - D.McGuinty and Royal Galipeau Orleans CPC member believed he was insulted for his race by McGeewhiz.
STRIPPERS!!! No more import of same. Suggested by NDP that senators booted out after 8 years apply for the openings.
Paul Dewar on Ottawa Senators - never knew the NDP were big on competition - thought that they always figured this was bad and all people should be entitled to share the Stanley Cup.
Even the Stripper story can't save this night's shows. The Alpaca commercial is way more stimulating. ALPACA stands for Allied Liberal Protesters Against Conservative Achievement.
Air India on Newman - turns out Air India were too cheap to pay the tab. How are we at fault for this?
Duff - Brad, Moors, Jaro all hope the Senators win. NDP hurt by change of Opp day. Ndpers angry cause means they have to work on Friday. Threaten to go on strike and put up pickets.
This program is depressing me. Looking for needles to stick in my eyes.
Duff smacks Moors for holding up Human Rights for Indians. Moors argues back. Never responds.
Lessard and Travesty on Newman.
Official Languages - Lessard says nothing happening on Committee so they act like kids. Downhill since Shane Doan - Grits and Dippers went too far. Newman says problem due to lack of experience by Tories.
Fife on Duff - Harper is right on rights for FN. Fife says leaders won't take responsibility - refuse audits, fair elections, against equal rights for women. Native leaders have to carry the can. Duff calls the FN Pimps "the Aeroplan Class". McCharles on Stock's security measures - needs to deport terror suspects.
If you PVRed the shows, erase. Do not bother reading this piece. Please.
This was the worst night ever. The first goose egg since I started doing this. 0/10

Evening Blue Lemons Report Newman Duff May 11
Newman - Duceppe to run, more seats for big provinces, absolutely unadulterated nothingness else except for a few digs to make the CPC look like a bunch of fascist incompetents that happen to be the government that supports the great secret neo-nazi-zionist conspiracy that is backed by the jooos to tie up everybody but themselves and tickle them until they die laughing.
Duff - Duceppe, good riddance, more seats for big provinces.
Van Loan on more seats for Big P's. Gives invite to Duff for birthday party for senate reform. Old Grit farts don't want to be fired again, years after most of them were fired by the electorate. (concept credit to Ambrose Bierce) Duff asks Van Loan when will it end, the delay of legislation, the spitting in the shoes, the pissing in the orange juice (original joke available on request). Says Big P's have 21,000 mre people per riding and rep by pop principle has been ignored, will be restored.
Newman on PQ leader race... Who cares? They will elect some doofus to lead the party who thinks he can steal more money by being leader of a small country than he can steal by being part of a big one. Revealed that Duceppe was an avid Marxist/Maoist when young. We can't have a marxist in our government can we?? (Jack Layton) I mean there's no way that we would ever elect a commie in this wealthy capitalist country? (Dawn Black). This is impossible! (Olivia Chow). Susan Bonner admits that there is someone is smarter than her. CBC first.
Duff - Harper rallying the troops. PMSH at his very best in Petawawa. TaliTubby Alexa and Ruby D. They lay huge credit and support to the soldiers. Despite the fact that they want to send soldiers to war crime trials, they entirely support them. Alexa says that PMSH crediting the soldiers is "boosterism". She says Afstan senate says we should "stop the insurgency". Alexa - ain't that what we're trying to do? Or ain't you been listening.
Duff - New no-fly list in Canada. Fantastic. I hope that smelly guy I had to sit next to en route to Vancouver is on it. Alexa says this is a terrific idea, hope they do it so then we can criticize it. Says Haroon Saddiqui is an enormously well respected journalist? Yeah sure - by Al Qaida.
Scott Reid (the honest, handsome and quiet-spoken CPC MP) on Newman along with Karen Redman on committees, which are all like dysfunctional Addam's families. Her hair totally grey - continues to eschew image consultant further to Dion dictum "we must never allow our 'air to look well or our scent to be too well, neither, or we too will be charged by media for being fancy boys and girls and not with substantive."
Does Steffi have what it takes? Duff to Linda Diebel of the Red Star. She says, yes, if a party wants to be run like the Toronto Maple Leafs. He has this in spades. She says it was Aline not Jean C that really liked him. But then again, Aline married Jean Chretien, maybe not the best judge... Why is he hated by the Liberal leadership? - from Duff. Finally looked up and noticed her hair and lips - does Diebel have an image consultant? Some work done there. Hated because he was the loser that defeated the winners who ran. She uses the Lemon line, he is "incomprehensible in English".
Scottie and Timmie on Duff - wait all week for this. Talk on leaker. Story of young anarchist by nite and archivist by day. Powers says there is an oath taken, police looking into. Duff says he looks like he wanted to be elected. Scott says it's okay to break the law. Scott drops the George Bush line, says Nixonian purge of enemies. Ever been a civil servant handcuffed by Liberals? No, of course not, they're all Liberals. Crocker Whistle Blower on Senate Liberals trying to get to Afstan. Powers says we will see. Scott admits to breaking laws, Powers denies he ever did. Chat descends into stupidity on both sides. Duff comments on how the little orphan anarchy cleaned himself up for his media conference. Duff on Iggy's 60th borrows Clinton line - "Too young to retire and too old to remember you're married."
Newman's Press Pundits - Weston says that a good chance that a lot of PQ voters will move to CPC. Newman says this is stupid and naive. Travesty says this is stupid that Quebecers are cowards and socialists so will never vote CPC when guys they've never met from Valcartier start dying in the thousands in Afstan. Delacourt not on damn shame. Bozo the Anarchist statement featured. The RCMP has become a rogue force on its own. CBC Chris Hall says CPC and RCMP are fascists. Are there any journalists in Canada that don't hate the CPC? Travesty says that a definite crime, waht's his name is now a celebrity and good for his band.
Duff's press gang. LaPierre makes surprise visit, with Galloway and Joel Denis Bellevance. So. Refer back to previous point on PQ thievery. Consensus is that condom head will have tight race. Duceppe not all that popular and will be between Marois, Lapieere surprised that he's running. JD says poll will show that he would lose. Iggy will be quoted tomorrow that we should not allow the LPOC to be taken over by environmental lobbyist. Lapierre on Dion - says a lot of work to do - 4 by elections in Quebec - and will be rough ride for him. DION WAS GIVING AWAY TICKETS TO A FUNDRAISER IN MONTREAL. Same thing happened last month in Toronto.
All in all a better than even show. Friday seems to be the best nite for the Newman Duff hour - maybe because everyone has either had, or can't wait to have, an adult cocktail. 7/10
