Paulyanna Tories, Meet "Harper Liberals"

In my travels, I've stumbled upon an interesting site by way of AGWN (FTWDK-GTK! It's in my BlogRoll, eh?).

Generally, the whole Gomery-AdScam thing is wearing even the hardiest of hardy Canuckz. And not too surprisingly, some of the casual Grit supporters are starting to defect.

Like other post-AdScam blogs, HL is a work in progress. Just like Y2D4.

Tuesday's Troubled Tantrum:One Hell Of A Way To Promote X-tian-Jewish Relations

It seems that the world's Orthodox Churches have voted not to "recognize" the Patriarch of Jerusalem because he cosorted with those Damjooz™ and threatened the future of all Palestinians™.

The vote came during a rare "pan-Orthodox" synod involving the 12 main Orthodox churches and presided over by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the Istanbul-based spiritual leader of Orthodox Christians.

Church members have tried to depose Irineos over explosive allegations that his church leased property to Jewish investors in east Jerusalem, a moved which would weaken attempts by Palestinians to make east Jerusalem their capital. Irineos has persistently refused to resign.

Note that Irineos just "leased" the property to these X'st-killaz™ - can you imagine the cash inflow to the Diocese there?

If only he had leased it to the Mo'slumz...

BTW - aren't the Orthodox X-tians the Islamoholics' next target, after the Damjooz and the Roaming Cadillacs? Just wondering.

Revenge of the Sith Liberals - They Live!

Little Darth Paulyanna and his fellow Sith Apprentices survived another no-confidence motion, 2 days after seducing Belinda Skywalker to the Dark Side to become Darth Stronach, 1 day after attempting to lure 2 BC Jedi Knights with a diplomatic post.

Jedi Master Yoda Harper said it best:

"While an unfortunate result for the country at this moment tonight's vote is, also provide us with persuasive arguments for change when Canadians finally and inevitably head to the polls it will.

"Tonight, a pyrrhic victory the Liberals Sith bought, that the seasons of its own destruction one will sow.

"In adopting a budget proposed by the NDP, and engaging in an unprecedented and irresponsible series of spending promises, fatally undermined its commitment to fiscal responsibility the Liberal Party of Canada Sith has."

It was expected that independants David Kilgour and Chuck Cadman would side with the Jedis against the proposed Sith budget. But Cadman the Badman eventually voted with the minority government. And it took the Speaker of the House's vote to seal the deal.

The budget offered goodies to various parts of the Evil Empire, with some extra goodies thrown in at the suggestion of the Nemoidian Democratic Party, thus the assumption that Cadman's vote would eventually topple the Sith. His reasoning for his decision...

"I imagine I made a few people angry today and probably made a few people happy," Cadman told CTV News moments later, in an interview outside the Commons.

"I was responding to my constituents. Primarily it was that they didn't feel they were prepared to go into an election," he told CTV reporter Roger Smith.

Another apprentice to the Dark Side? We shall see in the bloody morning after.

Until then... "May the Force be with you."

Darth Paul? Maul Stanley?

2 facts to ponder:

1. "Revenge of the Liberals Sith" is opening today.
   Personally, I'll take a rain-cheque for Tuesday night.
   Since Belinda Stronach has gone over to the Dark Side Liberals, one would think that evil forces are at work.
   I suspect that Little Paulyanna is actually a Sith Lord.
   All Hail... DARTH PAUL!(Cue Evil Empire theme.)
   Thanks, Brad.
   
   
2. Speaking of Sithyness, one would assume that Darth Maul would remain the coolest character in the Star Wars universe, right.
   Sadly, he was killed off in "The Phantom Menace", thus depriving any discerning fan of any further double-ended light-sabre action.
   But one fan decided to take the initiative and combine 2 malevolant forces in the Universe - Sith and KISS, and become the ultimate Sith Lord, MAUL STANLEY.
   Of course, if it weren't for his imagination and audacity, "Maul" would still be another hyperactive Star Wars geek. But he has managed to rub shoulders and other body parts with members of the Heavy Metal elite, so all's well in the Universe.
   Now, bring on DARTH BROOKS!
   

Enjoy your Thursday!

HORROR OF FUCKING HORRORS!B-GRRRL FUCKS OFF TO THE GRITS!

I thought that the reporters were on meth when I read that Tory MP Belinda Stronach has defected to become Little Paulyanna's Little Big Prize Catch™.

Stronach, who was considered one of the rising young stars of the Tory caucus, has joined the Liberal cabinet and was rewarded with the portfolio of minister of human resources.

Her move gives Prime Minister Paul Martin's minority Liberals a better chance of surviving a crucial confidence motion on the federal budget on Thursday, and consequently avoid being forced into a summer election. (My emphasis... Y2D)

Part of her reason to fuck-off from the Tory camp was due to her disagreements with Stephen Harper's leadership and direction. Her (former) party's push for a non-confidence motion over Adscam also grated her to a certain degree.

"(...) by forcing an election before the Conservative party has grown and established itself in Quebec, the hold over Quebec of the Bloc Quebecois can only grow into the vacuum. The result will be to stack the deck in favour of separatism, and the possibility of a Conservative government beholden to the separatists."

Whether it's due to the concern for her fellow 905 constituents (Martin promised millions for infrastructure in the Greater Toronto Area) or ambition, Belinda Stronach is playing a very serious game that could go either way.

She would either be remembered as someone who cared about the direction that the country is supposed to be going, or someone who would do anything for a piece of the power pie.

All the better reason to rush out and see "Revenge of the Sith" this coming Thursday.

PS: is it just me, or doesn't Supreme Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sidious (Ian McDiarmid) look a bit like PM Paul Martin, albeit remotely? Just wondering...

PPS: here's an advance review of SW III: ROTS. Enjoy.

PPPS: the "Ed Zeppelin" strikes with his own 2¢ on the Stronach betrayal.

P4S: erstwhile suiter, CPC MP Peter MacKay, has learned a new meaning to the term "getting fucked". Sorry, Petey.

P5S: as Morrisey the blogger wrote in his most recent Stronach commentary -

Can you imagine the political shock waves that would happen here (and the weather forecasts for Hades) if Hillary Clinton announced her defection to the GOP in order to get an appointment to George Bush's Cabinet?

Now why didn't I think about that one? Wait a sec... I have a life, right?
