Dis 'n dat

I'm cheating, aggregating instead of writing......

Wag The Dog has info on an investigation of where HSUS donations go, and on Michael Bryant's latest strange behaviour.

KC Dog Blog has new posts, the author is always interesting.

I Can Has Cheezburger has a funny little online game, a great timewaster. Scroll down to near the bottom of the page, look for NomNomNom4Fud.

Always good stuff on the Pet Connection blog.

Now back to our regular programming...

Bryant's off the chain again.

Wag The Dog has a nice piece on this Fib's latest foray into....

Someone please explain to me....

1. How a man who couldn't pick a "pit bull" from a series of pictures, even when coached, is going to pick "successful businesses"?

2. If a business is successful, why does it need my tax dollars?

3. If a business isn't successful, why should it be propped up with my tax dollars?

4. What happened to the big freakin' surplus the McGuinty Fibs were trumpeting not so long ago? Where did the dollars go???

5. Why is Bryant trumpeting government as "impactful" (a non-word that kinda sorta makes me wanna hurl) when its impact has been only negative?

More bloody Fiberal nanny-state nonsense. The Fibs are chewing further and further into our right to govern our own lives.

Read the Toronto Sun articles Investment Advice For Dummies and A liberal state of mind, and ask yourself why Dalton McGuinty keeps backing away from Bryant's public pronouncements.

If there were any Fibs in my family, I'd disown them. For overweening arrogance bolstered by matchless stupidity.

Fibs disprove Darwin; I'll never figure out how they survive natural selection.

McGuinty Fib gov't slouching towards Bethlehem?

Christina Blizzard of the Toronto Sun has been writing about how the McGuinty Liberals are gutting the Ontario health care system.

I think this Do Not Resuscitate Confirmation form my friend found must be part of the "cost cutting". Let's kill the elderly, they cost too much.

Interesting point from my chum's research - this DNR form does not appear to have been passed as part of any law. It was developed by the Ontario Palliative Care Association - has a big Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care logo on it (how can it be healthy or long-term care when the form kills you?) - but it doesn't appear to have any legal standing.

This DNR form wasn't developed for hospitals and nursing homes, but to protect paramedics. It can be signed by someone with limited medical training and no professional qualification to determine a patient's competence, no notice is given to the family, and the patient dies.

So, if your family or friends are admitted to hospital, be sure to search their medical charts and make sure someone hasn't stuck a DNR form on the person.

Scary $hit everywhere. Apparently people in the UK in their 60's are getting substandard care because they're "too old". Same thing is creeping into the system here.

What ya don't know will kill ya.

Makes me want to hurl.

According to TV Stevie on Rogers.com, television producers have approached Michael Vick to star in a reality show.

Unless this program shows Vick being drowned, slammed repeatedly on the ground and electrocuted, I will boycott any advertiser stupid enough to sign on for this. If it shows on Spike or A&E, I will cancel that portion of my cable television subscription.

Are you listening, Rogers, Spike, A&E, and any big-name advertisers?

Support the challenge of an unjust and unfounded law!

Taking the challenge of the Ontario "Liberals" "pit bull" ban to the Supreme Court has brought out the usual tiresome uninformed hysterics, members of the mob carrying torches to find the monster. These rhetoric-spouting hysterics miss the point, as does mainstream media which is responsible for much of the hysteria due to its pursuit of bottom line profit.

The dogs are a red herring. This is the Ontario "Liberal" government's first attempt to gradually whittle away every citizen's Charter rights.

If the Fibs had tried this in different decades, different breeds would have been banned. German Shepherds, Rottweilers or Doberman pinschers would have been banned as they were all in turn the "monsters" of their decade.

This law makes responsible, law-abiding people into second-class citizens based on the property they own - their dogs.

If you have any care for your Charter rights and freedoms, you will support this case financially.

A note about quotes. I put "Liberals" in quotes because Dalton McGuinty and his squad of minions are about as liberal as duct tape across your mouth or cable ties around your wrists. And "pit bull" is in quotes because it's slang - verbal shorthand that is used for any stocky, short haired dog. There ain't no such thang, folks.

Here's something from the Ontario Appeals Court decision that should scare the $hit out of any thinking person:

"The Appeals Court determined that the government does not require determinative scientific evidence of dangerousness before acting."

Here's my take on that. If the government's public approval rating is falling like a stone (as was the Ontario Liberals' approval rating at the time), the government can whip up a media storm (using our tax dollars to do that) and pass legislation that oppresses law-abiding citizens, without any proof for its actions.

Ontario is not a democracy. The Ontario Appeals Court decision cemented that belief for me.
