Pulitzer Material

January 21st, 2010 | 2 Comments | Posted in activists

Left Wing media

The only credible mainstream-media in America is going for a Pulitzer.

From the Washington Post:

National Enquirer submitting John Edwards coverage for Pulitzer

The executive editor of the National Enquirer says he plans to enter his paper’s work on the John Edwards scandal for a Pulitzer Prize.

Don’t laugh.

“It’s clear we should be a contender for this,” Barry Levine said by phone Thursday, hours after the former presidential candidate admitted what the newspaper had been reporting all along: that he is the father of Rielle Hunter’s baby. “The National Enquirer, a supermarket tabloid, was able to publish this reporting.”

Although the staff never doubted its reports that Edwards had fathered a baby girl with his former campaign videographer, Levine said, “there is vindication, finally. Mr. Edwards kept the story alive much longer than it needed to be kept alive with his denials. He has only himself to blame.”

Although the Enquirer stories may or may not be prize-winning material — the tabloid’s most significant disclosures came in 2007 and 2008, and this year’s Pulitzers will honor material published in 2009 — there is no question that the paper scooped the rest of the media world.

The irony would be if they win.

Infamous Obama Quote

January 19th, 2010 | 2 Comments | Posted in Obama

Scott Brown’s truck was made by the company Obama OWNS…General Motors.

Nothing like bashing your own product to help sales.

“I’m Scott Brown. I’m from Wrentham. I drive a truck. And I’m nobody’s senator but yours,” the Republican told a packed crowd at his victory party in a downtown Boston hotel.

A Democrat Reaction – The Worst Quote.

Chris Van Hollen, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had this to say about Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat election being won by a Republican…

’Why would you hand the keys to the car back to the same guys whose policies drove the economy into the ditch and then walked away from the scene of the accident? For the Republicans to say vote for us and bring back the guys who got us into this mess in the first place, I don’t think it’s a winner.’”

Remarkably, Van Hollen saw neither the irony nor the absurdity of his statement.

Epic Fail For Obama

January 19th, 2010 | 1 Comment | Posted in Obama

Obama fail Massachusetts

The first shot of the American Revolution was fired today – and the media can’t hide this one, like they did with the 2009 Tea Party.

Rasumssen (who gets it right almost all of the time): Interest High In Massachusetts Senate Race: 49% Nationally Want Brown To Win, 34% Pulling For Coakley.

With over a 50% turnout:

SCOTT BROWN (R) 52%
MARTHA COAKLEY (D) 47%

Some of the reasons we’ll see a repeat of 1994, when American’s stripped Clinton of is power:

The stimulus bill(s), TARP and the mortgage bailout, Obama’s budget, upcoming cap and trade, runaway czars, skyrocketing debt, unemployment of 10%+, bribes, and broken promises. The most partisan and polarizing figure in the history of polling.

And then we have the Huffington Post:

Obama: The Goldilocks President. Delusional at best.

Chicago Olympics, Copenhagen, Iran, Economy… now Ted Kennedy’s seat, which hasn’t been held by a Republican for over 40 years.

Obama is the new miserable failure – and this time it’s not a Google bomb.

There’s hope and there’s change.. maybe they can stop the agenda of these looters.

It’s a good day :) Let’s hope the Democrats don’t try to steal this one… AKA Al Franken.

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

This represents the left-wing’s thinking (and their ultimate demise:)

The Vancouver Olympic Guide Of Things To See And Do

January 16th, 2010 | 3 Comments | Posted in All about Vancouver

Scan00013

With Olympic tickets now on sale to our foreign friends, I thought it may be a good time to provide a quick guide of what to see and do as an alternative to the events. With just over 6 months until the winter games, you’ll want to get the most out of the most expensive trip you’ll ever take. Trust me, it will be worth every cent.

You’ll want to draw your map now, so that you’ll be prepared to abandon hope trying to get through our city to an event – as we have no freeways.

There’s lots to see and do, all just a short walk from our downtown hotels, or the basement suite you are planning on renting.

The locals will all tell you about Stanley Park.. it’s a beautiful spot with a great sea wall.

It’s Vancouver’s Central park without the people.

Crossing into Autumn

Be sure to come back in June when the rain stops.

If you planned ahead and booked your downtown hotel last year, you’re only a short walk to the famous Gastown… our buses all run close to the area, so just get off when an addict starts bugging you. Look for the mountains and turn right.

115/365 - Tourist in my own city

In Gastown you’ll find a quaint shops and lots of nightlife… with the cruise ships not as frequently arriving, you can expect to find great service and a warm welcome. Leave the area before dark if you’re over 40. More »

Smoke ‘em If You Got ‘em

e-cigarette e-smoke

Great inventions and a way to beat the taxman:

In a US ruling, a judge ruled the Food and Drug Administration may not block the importation of “electronic cigarettes,” battery-powered versions of conventional smokes.

If yu are a smoker and haven’t heard of this yet, check out this site…

After your initial investment, it costs about $5-10 per equivalent carton of smokes.. leaving the taxman with nothing.

As the e-cigarette is essentially a nicotine patch, with the joyous mechanics of smoking, this is the way it should be.

Watch for Ottawa to make a move once this catches on. Canadians paying $10-a-pack will love this. Plus you can smoke in bars and planes again without annoying anyone.

A blurb from the esmoker mag:

Electronic Cigarettes (a.k.a E-Cigarettes or E-Cigs) are quite literally the next wave of recreational smoking. While tobacco cigarettes deliver a whole host of carcinogens as they are burned and inhaled, toxicological studies on e-cigs show it to be a much safer means of delivering nicotine while still resembling typical smoking behavior.

E-Cigarettes do not produce tar so your lungs are not polluted, your teeth and fingers will not stain, your clothes and skin will not stink while those around you will not be offended.

Whereas in most developed countries a smoker is required to step outside for a smoke, e-cig smokers can smoke anywhere because the ’second-hand smoke’ contains nothing dangerous to those around you. Being an electronic smoker means not having to leave your friends and loved ones for a smoke, it means you get to enjoy a smoke like you normally would but in a more comfortable location. Not only will you not harm those around you, your walls will not turn yellow and your room or car will not stink.

Imagine having an electronic cigarette and relaxing while traveling on a plane or at the bar without having to leave your seat or your drink. Circumstances like this can be frustrating to the modern tobacco smoker but the e-cig smoker experiences none of these difficulties. The modern tobacco smoker faces a whole host of health problems related to smoking while the e-cig smoker enjoys a much more measured, controlled and safer smoking experience.

Electronic cigarettes are the future of smoking and it is time for all smokers to evolve and leave tobacco with all its dangers and annoyances behind. Electronic cigarettes are the new, safer and more enjoyable way to smoke.

Pray for Obama: Psalm 109:8

January 10th, 2010 | 2 Comments | Posted in All about Vancouver

Obama has a great record so far.. The Chicago Olympic bid, Copenchangin’, Obamacare, major campaign promises (or lies), transparency, and the list goes on.

Let’s give him credit though. He has succeeded in the largest looting of America in history. And he’s done a bang-up job on that.

So on Tuesday, when despite his and all the top Democrats efforts, they lose a Senate seat that they’ve held for 40 years, in the foundation state of the left, he’ll have the stage set to deflect any blame.

The vote is a prelude to how Healthcare will do in the Dems – as now that it’s common knowledge of just how corrupt this bill really is, they are doomed.

And in Al Franken fashion, you just know that the count will go really slow… low enough not to seat the winner and screw up the healthcare fraud.

CNN did an article on Obama going to Mass to help – and had to shut down comments.

Here’s an video on just just how well he was received… (The Boston Globe puts Obama’s rally at 1500 and Brown’s at 2200 (in the main room), but makes the point that the President got overshadowed by the state Senator:)

Maybe Obama can learn from this:

If you’re wondering what Psalm 109:8 is… the psalm reads, “Let his days be few; and let another take his office.”

There’s Hope.

California Budget Cuts

Arnold announced the drastic cuts he needs to make to get California back on track… at least to survive this year.

The article is framed with an image (above) that attempts to turn Arnold into a demon.

The comments from Californians in the Los Angeles Times show otherwise .They actually are cheering the cuts on. The California Tea Party could be all that’s needed to stop the looting of America.

It’s got to send chills through the Liberal politicians. Lets hope our Canadian left is watching.

Creepy Janet Napolitano

Thank Janet Napolitano for making all air travel a nightmare, who today told reporters during a briefing that the United States is scheduled to deploy 300 additional advanced imaging scanners at U.S. airports in 2010, and may deploy more.

I still don’t understand how this will stop terrorists in other countries from boarding with pantie bombs.

And who could forget Janet blaming Canada for 911. Someone needs to tell here where the terrorists are and what the look like.

israel organ theft

First the alAmeen Post in Vancouver decided to publish an article from  HTTP://WWW.PRESSTV.IR (which is actually worse than Al Jazeera)

Ukrainian kids, new victims of Israeli ‘organ theft’

An international Israeli conspiracy to kidnap children and harvest their organs is gathering momentum as another shocking story divulges Tel Aviv’s plot to import Ukrainian children and harvest their organs.

The story brings to light the fact that Israel has brought some 25,000 Ukrainian children into the occupied entity over the past two years in order to harvest their organs. It cites a Ukrainian man’s fruitless search for 15 children who had been adopted in Israel. The children had clearly been taken by Israeli medical centers, where they were used for ’spare parts’.

The account was unveiled five days ago by a Ukrainian philosophy professor and author, Vyacheslav Gudin, at a pseudo-academic conference in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. Gudin told an estimated 300 attendees of the Kiev conference that it was essential that all Ukrainians be made aware of the genocide Israel was perpetrating.

….. and it goes on. Here’s the PDF of the original cached article.

Then they take it down (after outrage) and finally the apology:

To Our Fellow Jewish Canadians – Our Apologies

On January 7th, 2010, at approximately 11:30 AM, we received a news release issued by B’NAI BRITH CANADA, Canada’s Jewish community’s foremost human rights agency raising concerns about an article published in alAmeen’s last issue, titled, “Ukrainian kids, new victims of Israeli ‘organ theft’.

We understand from the communiqué that the leading Canadian Jewish organization, is not pleased with the content of the article, and have asked for an apology, from alAmeen as well as British Columbia Muslim Association.

We understand that BNAI BRITH basis for demanding an apology is, as they view the contents within the article as Anti-Semitic, or Anti-Western, and against our most cherished Canadian values.

We understand that our fellow Canadian Jewish community members find some of the contents inappropriate and hurtful.

Therefore, in the spirit of honouring our most cherished Canadian Values, and to demonstrate our commitment to upholding and defending such values, the Editorial Board of alAmeen Post, without prejudice, extends its honest and sincere apology to our fellow Jewish Canadians for any hurt which may have caused by us publishing or communicating such a news article.

Having said that, it is also important that our fellow Canadians, especially our fellow Jewish Canadians, who are upset with our coverage on organ harvesting, understand the nature of our business: alAmeen Post is a bi-weekly community paper, distributed free, serving the local Muslim Community in British Columbia, Canada; we neither have the resources nor the means to have field reporters or investigative journalist working in the field. A large portion of our news is devoted to cover community events and functions, dealing with our own community issues. We do incorporate news from various regions of the world, for our audience, which we obtain from third parties. However, we remain very cautious about the news, which we do publish, and with our limited resources, we try our best that the news which we do publish is credible.

Defending our news article at this juncture would mean causing further divide in our harmonious multicultural fabric, which goes against our own values, but it is needless to say that the issue of “Organ Harvesting in Israel” was being discussed at the time of our last publication, by major media outlets, and not just alAmeen.

However, we do acknowledge that our fellow Jewish Canadians are upset over this, as clearly EXPRESSED by BNAI BRITH CANADA on their behalf, and it is for this very reason we retract our story, and we have removed it from our website, as soon as we received the fax from BNAI BRITH CANADA.

We hope that this would appease those who may have been offended, our intention was not to offend or hurt anyone, and we remain committed to eliminate all forms of discrimination.

We thank you for your providing us the opportunity to clarify our position.

In other words.. we don’t have the resources, and we are sorry the Jooos are mad. We took down the story.

Wonder if they thought the premise of the offending story may have been just a little outrageous? Is our beloved HRC doing anything?

A Vancouver Tea Party Movement?

January 7th, 2010 | 7 Comments | Posted in All about Vancouver

Car-tax- protest in Vancouver

Promising news… we finally had a protest today that wasn’t for saving Iran, Gaza, the whales, or against the Olympics.

It was actually against one of the steep tax increases that are coming our way. I am hoping this is a sign of things to come.. our own little tea party movement.

The silent majority has been pushed to the limit. The government has run out of places to hide taxes and now are starting a cycle of increasing obscure taxes… in this case by three times. The worst part is that they use government bodies they’ve granted taxation rights to, to lessen political damage.

Vancouver’s political machine is completely against cars. They have made it so gas can never go below $1 a litre through the piling on of taxes, including North America’s first carbon tax. The cost of car ownership is huge here in Vancouver, by using government-run ICBC and Transslink to pile taxes on us.

They have made traffic in the city a joke… if you track it, you’ll find you average speed on a commute is around 18 kmh. We have no freeways. Only block after block of unsynchronized traffic lights. In turn, the $1+ gas is wasted sitting at stop lights.

They have tried closing lanes of main arteries into downtown, turning them into bike lanes. Which is fine for those that live nearby, if it didn’t rain 300 days a year.

Vancouver does not want anyone to drive. Period.

Then we have Translink… a government body that manages our transit. They are a taxing authority and have their eyes set on ever-increasing taxes of homeowners, automobile owners, commercial property owners, and now they have decided to triple the tax on parking lot owners.

They are a stellar organization, and reflect the worst of a government body:

  • A tripling of the debt since 2005.
  • Expenses growing by 3.5 times ridership.
  • Administrative costs growing at 101% since 2002.
  • No cost reduction targets in place for ‘09 and despite targets in ‘10 costs still growing by 2.7% almost double inflation.

When you pair Translink with ICBC you have the makings of a tax body without any controls in place.

Now downtown business owners are seeing the signs… after the Olymics next month, office building will be empty.

Thanks to the efforts of city hall, Translink and the provincial government, you’d be nuts to move your business downtown. Downtown Vancouver is poised to go into a rapid decline.

So my hat is off to our new Tea Party movement – Drive Out The Tax.

Let’s hope they can get something started and put the brakes on the huge tax increases that are in the pipeline.

An Obama Appointee Who Paid His/Her Taxes

January 5th, 2010 | 1 Comment | Posted in Obama

Obama continues making all sorts of “firsts”.

amanda_simpson_ obama_token

For Amanda Simpson, America’s first openly transgender presidential appointee, the job in the U.S. Commerce Department is an honor and the culmination of a career dedicated to understanding military technology.

President Obama recently named Amanda Simpson to be a Senior Technical Advisor to the Commerce Department. Simpson will monitor the exports of U.S. weapons technology.

But what gnaws at her, she says, is the fear of being labeled a token who was hired because of her sexual identity rather than on her merits.

“Being the first sucks,” she told ABC News.com. “I’d rather not be the first but someone has to be first, or among the first. I think I’m experienced and very well qualified to deal with anything that might show up because I’ve broken barriers at lots of other places and I always win people over with who I am and what I can do.

She has 30 years in the industry but can’t escape the feeling that some will see her appointment as a political maneuver.

“[There will be] questions like: Is this a token? Are you here to do a job or just to fill a quota or appease other people? In that regard it makes it a bit more difficult,” she said. “I’m sure I will have to do and intend to do a far superior job than any other person. But I’m sure I will always be second guessed.”

Weighing in…What a freak show this presidency is.

Seems the trade has its share of transgendered stars:

How many Rocket Scientists with 30 years experience in defence areas, who have degrees in both Engineering and Business Administration, as well as Physics?
