Thousands of people demonstrated against prorogation around the country. There were big crowds in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Halifax and many other major cities but it has not moved Harper even slightly. Is he delusional? Will he have the upper hand in this gamble given the weak opposition? This could be the complete undoing of Harper if the opposition can keep the heat on.
Harper is trying to dodge too many issues through proroguing including the Afghan torturegate inquiry. What happened to the open government that he promised? What happened to accountability?

Recommend this postPat Robertson: Devil Responds
The Devil confronted Pat Robertson and reminded him where he lived – in the United States and with him. He emphasized that he had nothing to do with the poor nation of Haiti. He told Robertson that he enjoys the luxuries which Robertson provides. He told him that he loves to live in a rich and luxurious environment and that, centuries ago, he abandoned the poor parts of the world.
Any nation or person who gets poor is abandoned by him (the devil) immediately because he is averse to hardships. The devil also said that his circle of buddies includes Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Rush Limbaugh and many corporate bosses. He also said that he spends some of his time at Playboy Mansion, with Larry Flint of Hustler and with his good friends at Penthouse and many other like minded individuals. The Devil also told him that evangelists are his closest buddies. Robertson was speechless ;)

U.S. Supreme Court: Democracy sentenced to Death by hanging
The U.S Supreme Court was supposed to protect the rights of people, but from the last decade or so it has been doing the opposite. In 2000 it appointed George W. Bush as President. According to many, Al Gore had won. With its most recent decisions, where it removes any limits on corporate financing for election campaigns, a final nail in the coffin of democracy has been inserted. In other words, through its decision now the President and Congressmen can be appointed or bought by big corporations. The US Empire was already in decline because of its quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan, now with this Supreme Court decision any pretension it had for being a democratic country has ended. Now politicians will be constantly bought and sold unless Congress takes swift and decisive action to stop such trends through proper legislation.
The world looked towards the US a decade or so ago as a model of democracy. It need not do so anymore. From now on it will be a corporate autocracy unless something is done fast.

Scott Brown: The Teabagger Wins in Massachusetts

It was an interesting match. Ted Kennedy's seat for nearly fifty years and no Republican Senator for the last 30 years from Massachusetts. Maybe this is a good wake-up call for the Dems. They were becoming a bit complacent with big majorities in the Senate and the House of Representatives and then of course they have the Whitehouse. Maybe this will help them do better for the upcoming Congressional elections this year.
How it's going to impact healthcare bill is yet to be seen. Maybe passing it before Brown is sworn in. Otherwise filibuster for a long time in the Senate and it will never see the light of the day.

Millions of people around the world have shown empathy towards Haitians after last Wednesday's earthquake which especially had catastrophic effects for Port-Au-Prince. Tens of thousands of people have perished and millions are rendered homeless. The response of the U.S. and Canada is commendable and it is something which re-establishes one's faith in humanity.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
A brief commentary by Keith Olbermann of MSNBC.
Let me add to it that anyone who calls himself/herself a human being understands the extraordinary tragedy in Haiti as a result of the earthquake that killed tens of thousands of people. According to some estimates, the death toll may exceed half a million people. However, Rush Limbaugh (the blabber mouth) and Pat Robertson (the devil) fail to understand that tragedy. There is no word in any language to describe these two beasts and people of their ilk. They are lowest of the low lifes.
Limbaugh thinks that Obama is speaking out about this tragedy because he wants to win light-coloured and black votes in the US. Obama said on Wednesday that every effort will be made to save as many lives as possible in Haiti and that the US will do everything in its capacity to carry this out. What does Limbaugh's interpretation tell you? If you call him a swine it will be an insult to swines as they do serve some useful purpose.
Robertson said that Haiti is paying the price for the deal it made with the devil when freeing itself from France in the 19th century. This guy is not only full of crap but also made of crap 100%. Many relief workers and UN workers are among the dead, so God punished them according to Robertson. Again it will be an insult to swines to call Robertson a swine.
These two and their type do belong in a sewage lagoon, they must not walk among humans. They stink and their crap is simply intolerable. Their very existence is a scourge to fellow human beings.

He identified himself as a family judge and told me that we Canadians were lucky that we did not have blacks in Canada. I asked him, "how so?" He said he makes decisions about these kids every day who are sired by black men and walked away and that the state had to be their guardian. Then I told him that I had class-fellows who were blacks and co-workers. However, I did think to myself, what kind of decisions on the courtbench is this man making?

More so than even Barack Obama. Whether it is CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC or our own CBC. Maybe they don't realize it, but they made him a kind of iconic figure.
How soon we forget. The guy who tried to kill Ronald Reagan did so to get notoriety and many other such murderers did the same. Why to give this kind of notoriety?

Murphy’s law
Is Mike Murphy of New Brunswick, who recently quit as Minister of Justice and Attorney General and is quitting politics altogether (by resigning as MLA in five weeks), a victim of his own ego? In 2006, when he became Minister of Health, hopes were high that he would fix the mess left behind by the Lord Government. That myth was put to rest quickly as he became VERY unpopular VERY fast. This was a result of the changes he made including getting rid of the eight health regions in the province and replacing them with only two. His so-called changes did not go over well. Local media repeatedly asked for his resignation.
So he went for a second chance and became Minister of Justice and Attorney General in June 2009. He got his precious "QC" with his name but it did not work out either. So Murphy's Law came into effect.
"If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it."
The guy has an incredibly big ego; maybe that was his undoing. He will do well as a lawyer but politics does not seem to be his cup of tea.

I suppose it is a job creator, as wars have become a necessity for many business outfits. Those who make these scanners will be making a bundle out of this. It was quite a Christmas gift for them. I suppose peace will be the solution but then it will go against the financial interests of those who produce this paraphernalia and others who produce war related merchandize. Is there a hope for peace?
Dick Cheney: A Cone head and a Broken Record
When will Americans realize that Dick Cheney is a danger to their security and that he should be put in a cage. For 8 years he terrorized the world and spread venom which made the US very unpopular in the world. Bush was just a putty or puppet in his hands as Cheney called all the shots. It was hoped that he would shut himself up after he leaves office. But not so. He continues to spew his venom. He is not only pitching Americans against Americans but also giving an idea to its enemy that there is a division within the country. He is all around bad news. Now he is preaching that Obama does not know that the US is at war; he is basically saying that there should be more carnage in the world as he and his puppet Bush started.
It is about time to cage this venomous beast. He should be fed strictly through the bars of such a cage and should have no human contact as he will do harm. It is in the nature of this beast.

Lot of hot air was let out and he looked normal, but not for very long. He was given a clean bill of health and he was full of hot air again in no time. He stated that the US has the best healthcare in the world and needs no reform. Oh really Rush?!? Rush needs to go back to the hospital, maybe they will let some of that hot air out again.
I also saw a blog saying that he was with some under age girls in the hotel room when the heart attack scare happened. Those girls were whisked out real fast and his drugs (or steroids he says) were flushed down the toilet before the medics arrived. That is Rush's story and his hot air.

Dick Cheney and Bernie Madoff
Dick Cheney is many folds more dangerous to society and the world than Bernie Madoff. I will come to that later.
First may I suggest to my American friends a New Year's resolution? Save society and world from Dick Cheney. He is a danger to American society and to the world in general. He must be removed from the vulnerable public and put in a cage. The man is very dangerous. After failed attempt by the Nigerian national to blow up a plane, Dick is saying that Obama does not know that the US is at war. Yeah Dick, the quagmire you got your country into.
Luckily all the Nigerian national succeeded to do is burn his own ass, literally. However, the disaster of 9/11 happened under Dick and his Apprentice Bush's watch. He was sleeping at the switch at the time as new information shows that warnings were there. Also the shoe-bomber incident happened under his and his Apprentice's watch. It was under his watch that the illegal war was started in Iraq which has destabilized the world, the same goes for Afghanistan as negotiations at the time would have been much more effective as the Taliban were ready to put the alleged perpetrators on trial.
It was Dick and his Apprentice who approved torture which has tarnished the US image abroad and provided fuel for more extremism. Again it was under his and his Apprentice's watch that the US constitution was violated time and again for wire-tapping and other surveillance techniques used against its own unsuspecting civilians. It goes on and on. It is about time that Americans got rid of this danger to humanity and incarcerate this man. He must be kept at a top-notch maximum-security institution.
As stated at the beginning, that Dick is far worse than Bernie Madoff. Madoff deceived the rich and privileged and did not kill anyone as such (yes some were so disheartened that might have attempted or committed suicide) yet compared to Dick Cheney his crimes are far less egregious. Since Madoff went after the rich and privileged so they went after him and he is in jail serving 150 years. In case of Dick and his Apprentice, millions of innocent men, women and children were slaughtered. Since these were poor and so-called third world citizens who cannot make Dick and his Apprentice accountable that is why Dick and associates are going scot-free. Moreover, Dick and associates are responsible for over 50,000 American causalities and among them 5000 dead in these wars and tens of thousands suffering from PTSD and other psychological problems because of Dick and his associate. It is about time that Dick and his associates were removed from society and caged. These predators are too dangerous to roam free.
