Oxymoron...

sorry, I have to rant for a second...

I do not agree with most of what Ann Coulter has to say but here is an ‘idea’ for the U of Ottawa ‘activists’ and ‘scholars’ to ‘think’ about… by attempting to muzzel \ stopping Ann Coulter from speaking, the Students and University have played directly into her hand.  She gets a ton of publicity and she gets to say her shit to an even wider audience. If the students and faculty allowed her to do her thing, the whole talk would have never been heard or thought of.  The ‘activism’ displayed in this situation simply advocates for a more guided, protected, and controlled Canadian society… Cheers to, authoritarian liberalism, you fucking activist idiots!… pick up a dictionary and look up oxymoron… sadly, this situation is one…


Here is a response to a NY daily news article on it’s website. I would say this is more offensive than what Ann Coulter is saying in public…

Ikea...

I am sure all Pegger's are aware by now that an Ikea will be gracing our hallowed berg in the near future!... I am sure the conglomerate that satisfies our need for next-level steaming hot shit furniture will bring the city many dollars in tax revenue and consumer spending. With that said, all I could think about was when people went through tough times back in the day, like the dirty thirties or the World Wars, they would burn their furniture and belongings in order to stay warm and cook their food. Furniture is a great source of fuel in hard times! I know we are going through a recession at the moment and I thought Ikea could fill a great untapped niche. Instead of going through all the trouble of dismembering a chair, like in the "old days", all you super cool hipsters, yuppies, and soccer mom's can just go down to your local Ikea and pick up all you need to start that fire!... Here is a manual courtesy of Helmut Smits and platform 21... ENJOY!...

Foreign Affairs: Gettin' My Nose in Other People's Business

Before I start, I do not hate or want to see anything bad happen to the new American president. With that stated, I would like to shed some light on a subject that some might not know about. When I heard ,soon to be president, Obama flatly declare "The United States will not torture" I almost fell over laughing. Then I heard about Dennis Blair's nomination for the director of National Intelligence and this really made me skeptical about Obama's sworn oath.

Many people believe that Obama shut the practice down but he simply repositioned it. Since Vietnam and more recently the Bush era, US forces often tortured directly, but the torture regime's of Ford through Clinton has mainly done it's torture through proxy. Paying, arming, training, and guiding foreigners but usually being careful to keep Americans one step removed.

Example: East Timor, which Dennis Blair is connected with...

After a go-ahead from president Ford and Henry Kissinger the Indonesian military invaded East Timor.
"They killed a third of the population, the greatest proportional genocide since the Nazis. They established an occupation in which no one could speak, people could be dragged from their homes, tortured, and executed at any moment" - Nairn.
in 1999, Admiral Blair was given an order to stop the massacres but did the opposite. Instead, Admiral Blair offered new US military aid to assist General Wiranto.

This is the man that is running all 16 Intelligence offices in the US. I find Obama's promise hard to accept with the appointment of Dennis Blair.
