It wasn't all that long ago when you talked about a young man from the west with kind of a glint in your eye... I mean all young men that wanted to 'make it' were told to head west, that's the place where gold was in dem durn darned hills.
When a man does that and makes it, you would think that the Eastern Establishment would show him more respect... I'm talking about Stephen Harper in this case. Stephen like many of us was probably an aimless but talented young man that fell into politics.. particularily politics of the Western Canadian Brand. They arn't whining about broken hearts out west but crying about bad deals and worse relationships than Dolly Parton could accuse a wayward cowbody for. No the West feels that it has a crappy deal with those folks in Ottawa and it wants a new and better deal.
This might have something to do with Stephen Harpers initial anger, that ground-swell from out West, but lately it has had more to do with unmet expectations of this great country. That Liberals and their supporters are bleeding this country to death while the gentle and sensitive of soul are wringing their hands in frustration is obvious. But more importantly, I can feel Mr. Harper's pain as he has to face the reality that there is not a lot he can do about it in the short-run. Never worry though, we know that you are the better man and far more deserving of the opportunity to run this country than any liberal I have known of in decades.
The decadent Easterners will criticize not knowing what frustration is but only knowing their own lust and carnality for the fruits of the dark oak that bore their kind and still protects them. The day is coming to not only hack at that tree but to bring it down.

MP O'Brien quits and asks: what's the rush on same sex marriage?
O'Brien leaves Liberals over same-sex Bill.

Globe and Mail Update
Mr. O'Brien said Monday that he feels that the Prime Minister went back on his word and that the process to legislate same-sex marriage was “unfolding to be a farce.”
Witnesses are given too short a notice to testify, he said, and then, when they appear, they are berated and lectured by MPs on both sides of the table. He called the committee's June 16 deadline to report back an artificial timeline and said there is not need to rush.
This is my argument also, Mr. Martin what is the rush? Why are you ramming this legislation through the house? Do you have a hidden agenda? Does the control system desire to use gay's as a stake to drive into the heart of Christians across Canada? Why does Canada need to only be the third country in the world to have such laws? The questions can fill pages...
What is most surprising is the lack of outcry so far on this subject by churches and regular Canadians. Maybe that is what Mr. Martin fears most.

Saddam's Aides: Singing 'Like a Canary'
Newsweek, June 13 issue, 2005
From the link above:
"In interview after interview, the officials were generally forthcoming and quite proud—even boastful—of their creativity in undermining U.N. sanctions," says Sen. Norm Coleman, who leads one of several congressional probes into Saddam-era oil deals. According to Senate documents, Ramadan is one of the most talkative captives, supplying pithy quotes about how Saddam allegedly manipulated the prewar oil program to buy support from influential foreigners. Senate investigators quote Ramadan saying that Saddam's regime gave foreigners oil allocations—which could be cashed in for lucrative brokerage fees—as "compensation for support." Al-Tikriti told investigators the former Iraqi leader and his aides "were all extremists" on the issue of oil sales to Israel. If they found an Iraqi oil buyer was selling to Israel, they would "not allow it," al-Tikriti said.
Well one has to wonder when certain Canadians will get a dishonourable mention or two? Either way Saddam is looking to do some serious time.
