Currently reading Surrender: Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom by Bruce Bawer.

I happened to borrow this copy from The Great Scaramouche, and she has it marked up on every page with her observations. It’s awesome. It’s like having an annotated version.

This will keep me occupied, along with the audio version of Glenn Beck’s Common Sense, on my 12-hour bus ride to NYC tonight. By the way, Bawer is coming to Canada in September!

I probably won’t blog over the weekend (you never know), so follow the madness on Twitter with

• @rightgirl
• @chipheadmike (Brass Balls Radio producer)
• @pinkelephantpun (Tabitha Hale, who will be tweeting the pictures from our adventure)

Have a great weekend!

“Yes to Israel Independence”… “No to American Dictates!”

Date: Friday, July 31, 2009
Time: 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Location: Consulate General of the United States of America
Street: 360 University Avenue
City: Toronto, ON

Join the Anti-Obama Rally in Toronto
Bring Canadian and Israeli Flags

The Jewish Defence League of Canada and Bob Kunst from Shalom International will lead a PROTEST against President Obama on Friday July 31 at 12 noon at the Consulate General of the United States of America 360 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario

Let me count the ways… (actually, I’d better not. I’d hate to find out that the elusive Mrs. Steyn reads this blog)

Anyway, His Steynship is hosting a fundraiser all day today to deal with the pernicious problem of Khurrum Awan and his hilarious suit against Ezra, wherein Ezra calls the incompetent Awan, er, incompetent.

If you haven’t read Lights Out yet, now’s your chance to buy a copy and keep the lights ON!

Mark Steyns Final Sockquidation Day Sale!

Your chance to help Canada’s most sued freespeecher - and get a great read, too.

This time last year I was bustling around the kitchen of a Kansas farmhouse (aka The Castle) with my good friend Beth getting things ready for her hubby’s birthday feast.

Well, I’m a zillion miles away in both mind and body now, back in Torontostan, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten the “brilliant and charming” John Donovan.

Love and squishes on your birthday, John. Bug misses you.

The second half of my health care interview with Lisa Farrar Wellman is up at Smart Girl Nation. In this half we discuss the people who are tasked to vote on HR 3200, its contents, and a final message.

Americans, I can’t say this enough: Look toward the French, the Swedes, the Swiss, heck even the Israelis. Do NOT look to Canada to find the answer to your troubles.

Lisa Farrar Wellman from Smart Girl Nation asked me to sit down with her and talk about Canadian health care.

Facing the prospects outlined in HR 3200, many Americans are vastly uneducated on the Canadian system. They truly believe - like they believed about Obama - that it’s all Skittles pooping unicorns up here in our hospitals.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Here is the first half of my interview with Lisa. The second half will be up tomorrow.

Laura Rosen-Cohen has an editorial in today’s National Post about the strange, masochistic need for the Jews to be liked by people who want to murder them.

It has been said that a definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. Certainly, there can be no better explanation for Jews, and particularly liberal Jews to keep trying new ways of currying favour in the eyes of the Islamic world.

Heh. Currying. I wonder if that was intentional?

Dear fellow Jews, what is so hard to understand about “we hate your guts, and will continue to kill and maim you”?

This week Brass Balls Radio explores the surreal, by removing a key component and leaving the listener questioning the meaning of life.

Also, an awesome interview with Becky Norton-Dunlop of the Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC.

Enjoy!

Which is perhaps why Ezra Levant questioned his intellegence in the first place. After all, intelligence isn’t a measure of how smart you are at the outset; it’s about your ability to learn.

You would think that a guy who had his ass handed to him most efficiently by Mark Steyn and Maclean’s Magazine would run and lick his woulds quietly somewhere. But alas not. Kurrum Awan, lead sock puppet in Mohammed ElMasry’s grievance/shakedown against Macleans, has decided to sue Ezra Levant for libel.

Shakedown

Khurrum Awan admitted under oath he had tried to get Maclean’s to pay $10,000 in penance for running Mark Steyn’s book excerpt. I call that a shakedown, Al Sharpton-style.

Awan? He has it both ways; he claims the money would be for a charity, not for himself (again, I charge I never made). And then he denies it was a shakedown at all.

I think Awan is too used to writing logically incoherent letters to the editor. It will be fascinating to hear what a real judge thinks of Awan’s little scheme to liberate $10,000 from Maclean’s. Shakedown? Hell yes it was. And I’ll always be proud of Maclean’s that they didn’t pay.

His Notice of Service was charmingly riddled with typos, and since he wrote it himself, he couldn’t decide if he wanted to write it in first or third person - so he kept switching back and forth.

There is no mention of the two hot booty-call sock puppets this time. Which is a pity - not only were those girls attractive, but I think they were a hell of a lot smarter.

Kurrum Awan will probably never be a lawyer of any great standing. He is clearly too hot headed and possibly mildly retarded (in that Muslim cave-dwelling way). But he may have a brilliant future ahead of him as Canada’s Al Sharpton.

Good luck in your endeavors, Kurrum. Or, you know, not.

That’s how my Vast Zionist Conspiracy friends refer to me. I’m the Goy who does things on Saturdays the Jews can’t/won’t do, like protests and such. From Friday sunset through Saturday sunset, the Jews are forbidden from doing… pretty much everything.

Which might explain how I got enrolled in Caliphs to Kings hosted by Azzam (blow yourselves up for Palestine) Tamimi.

You can read about it all in an upcoming issue of the Jewish Tribune.

In the meantime I will bask in the knowledge that I am following in great footsteps. Elvis Presley, Colin Powell and Mario Cuomo all had jobs as Shabbos Goys when they were growing up.

Just think of what heights I may climb to!

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Yo Quiero, little Taco Bell Dog.

see more dog and puppy pictures

(and because I know I’m going to get at least half a dozen comments from people that think this is MY chihuahua, it’s not. It’s the famed Taco Bell spokesdog - Bug is still alive and well and rustling up cat turds for a snack)

Seriously. It’s a church invented to allow a divorce, and a doctrine where anything goes. As far as morality is concerned, seeking direction from the Church of England isn’t necessarily the way to go.

The “hatch-and-match” service allows couples to baptise their children after the wedding ceremony. Parents can even get baptised themselves.

The aim is to encourage cohabiting parents to marry as the Church tries to become more relevant to the way people live their lives, but critics said that it appeared to sanction having children out of wedlock. One bishop described the idea as “nutty”. The liturgy, costing £272, is being sent out to dioceses and parish clergy today.

Um, again… it’s CoE. Gay marriage, even within the clergy, female clergy, did I mention the Church was created on a whim to allow divorce? Why on earth would it matter if you were married, divorced, having babies out of wedlock, or screwing the family pet? Anything goes in the Church of England.

Wow. I just read this post over at Tabitha’s, and it’s like spending 10 minutes over at Canadian Cynic’s. Seriously, gynecologists don’t talk about vaginae that much (of course, unlike leftist “men”, they actually get to see vaginae).

So without further ado, grab a strong drink and settle down to read Liberals in Their Own Words:

****

Let’s look at the type of language we’re actually dealing with. I’m not talking about “I can see Russia from my house” jabs. Top Definition of Sarah Palin on Urban Dictionary:

Heinous bitch who only go elected because she sucked McCain’s dick

That fatherfucker is such a Sarah Palin that I bet she gets it on with politicians to save face. Or to moisturize face.

And it only goes downhill from there. And this is the source they were making fun of conservatives for not using to look up “teabagging”? There’s a reason I personally do not frequent the site. That language is exactly it.

Regarding Ann Coulter:

The granddaughter of Adolf Hitler, Ms. Coulter started at a young “girl” playing with toy soldiers, whom she decimated because each one was either Muslim, gay, liberal, or simply “had it coming”. She did several hours of selfless volunteer work in high school, aiding in programs in her youth group at Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, the Christian based organization “Focus On The Family”, and the prestigious Ku Klux Klan. This lovely woman then excelled onto college at Cornell University, majoring in eugenics. The author of several wonderful books such as “Slander” and “How To Talk To A Liberal (if you must)” are undoubtedly some of America’s favorites. She has also started her own religion, Coulterism, where they believe she is Christ coming back in the image of a woman. They use her classic books as their bible.Actually no. There is only one word to describe this woman (synonyms: see cunt)

Ann Coulter is a neofascist cunt who will basically do anything that goes by if it has a quarter and a penis.

Thayalan Reddy, who goes by criticbooks is another that stood out as a particularly hateful human being. This guy is a Christian hater. And honestly, most of the hate mail I get, since I have the AUDACITY to be open about the fact that I am a Christian, is religious. Here’s a sample:

Come on Christian assholes, followers of Dick Cheney and George Bush. Do you have shit for brains that you can’t institute simple reasoning

Hey christians if your mother told you that she was a virgin and that god had “begotten” would you believe her. Obviously yes. Therefore, you must be a retard if you believe that God fvcked Jesus mother.I believe that Levi fvcked Mary and Sarah Palin’s daughter.

But his hooker mother had no sense of guilt, She was in every sense very much like Sarah Palin’s daughter – proud of being a slut. But, the cunning bitch then blamed it on God.Which idiot in his right mind believes such $hit? Do you think that God wanted Mary’s pu$$y.

****

Mark Steyn writes an article in Maclean’s about Canadian artists who live abroad (read: the USA), but mentions something very timely for our American friends as they stare down the barrel of the socialized health care gun.

Forget about the “health,” too. Proponents of government health care like to point out that in the United States life expectancy is 78.11 years, whereas in Ireland it’s 78.24 years, Germany 79.26, New Zealand 80.36 and Canada 81.23 years. For a while now, I’ve taken to responding that, once a society gets childhood mortality under control and observes basic hygiene, it’ll swing through its three-score-and-ten with the bonus of a few frequent-flyer miles at the end, and then I’ll usually cite a less obvious comparison: Libya? 77.26 years. Albania? 77.96 years. Bosnia and Herzegovina? 78.5. Boy, nothing like civil war and ethnic genocide to ramp up those life-expectancy numbers! And any American approaching his 78th birthday and minded to emigrate to Canada or, better yet, Macau (life expectancy 84.36 years) should bear in mind that these variations likely owe more to factors other than the health system—i.e., the high homicide rate among the African-American community, and other subjects from which the multiculturally squeamish would rather avert their gaze. And sure, when you’re getting up there, an extra three years in Thunder Bay or Trois-Rivières sounds pretty sweet, even if you’ll be spending much of it with your legs crossed: a recent report in Le Journal de Montréal revealed that severely incontinent Quebecers (that’s to say, going to the bathroom 12 times a night) wait up to three years for a simple half-hour procedure that could give them a decent night’s sleep.

Macau. Sounds nice. Perhaps Americans could look to Macau for a health care solution. Believe me, it couldn’t be any worse that what they’re thinking of now.

Again, for you slow and stubborn types: What America has now is not working for the majority. What Canada has now is not working for the majority. It’s time to look elsewhere for a solution instead of comparing these same apples and oranges.

Steven Crowder does a road trip to Quebec and comes back saying all the things I’ve said for years: Waiting times, dirty hospitals, misdiagnoses, doctor and drug shortages, and botched surgeries.

This video is looong, at just over 20 minutes, but I am making it MANDATORY for my readers. There will be a quiz later. So grab a coffee and settle in. DO IT!

Remember what RightGirl always says: “Free” “Health” “Care” is three lies for the price of one.

I have been several shades of blog-useless over the weekend, with pre-wedding activities for a friend, and the associated hangovers that go with them.

• Brass Balls Radio is back this week, but just for iTunes subscribers right now. What do you mean you don’t subscribe? WTF is wrong with you?? Great interview with Kellen Guida from NYC.
• The quirky and subversive Canadian web elf, Binks, picked up the slack I left by giving y’all links. Go forth and check out his roundup.
• My pal Art Lindsey answered one of the most frequently asked podcasting questions: How do you record VOIP calls?
• British military asshats have decided that despite a major war going on in multiple arenas, now would be an excellent time to cut funding for new equipment. Attention Labour Party: You are never getting elected again.
• Last but not least, the much-anticipated video of the moonbat screamer from Friday’s protest at the ROM. Thanks to Josephine for putting it up:

I mentioned the other day that the loony anti-Semites would be out to complain against the Royal Ontario Museum for an exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Well, the VZC (Vast Zionist Conspiracy™) came out last night to counter-demo, and seriously, you couldn’t pay for that kind of entertainment.

First of all, on the Jew-Hating side of the street, there were almost no Muslims of any ethnic background. Maybe three in total. Most there were… wait for it… aging Jewish hippies. You know, the ones that come out to any protest, any time, any place, against The Man?

One woman (and I wish my video had turned out better) stood screaming at us “Rape! Rape! Rape!” at the top of her lungs. I wasn’t sure if it was an accusation or a request.

She's clearly Palestinian, right?

There was also a plentitude of Queers for Palestine, which always tickles my funny bone. I mean, once the Arabs are done anihilating teh jooooz, you just know they’re gunning for the queers next, right? And not that I think it needs to be pointed out, but said Queers were all pasty white and their women were not in hijab. Just sayin’.

Moonbat with the Best Sign award goes to Zionists Killed Michael Jackson:

I guess Sarah Palin is off the hook for that one.

Here’s something I totally didn’t expect though: We had more people in support of Israel. Seriously, I’m out there almost every time, and it rips my knitting that so much of Toronto’s Jewry are so apathetic to issues that directly involve them. They never leave their damn houses. And here we were, heading into sunset and the Shabbas, and a whack of them turned out in support. I was truly shocked. In a good way.

For the most part my pictures were not great, and my video not salvageable, but I was on flag duty.

Ugly Chin Crystal at the ROM finally comes in handy for a beautiful purpose

So I will direct you to Josephine over at Lumpy, Grumpy & Frumpy for excellent photos. I’m told she will have video later today.

As an aside, the pro-Pali crew were very intimidating/intimidated where our people were concerned. They’d scream at us for filming and photographing them, while photographing us! You just know they sleep in tinfoil hats, right?

Clearly the child is a scab worker and should be mistreated and humiliated by Ontario CUPE (the Union, for those not in the know) employees who are crying over 18 sick days per year.

Fire. Them. All.
