Sounds like Republican tax policy to me…

Canada’s left-leaning parties — the Liberals and the New Democratic Party — are preparing to take down Stephen Harper’s minority Conservative government with a no-confidence vote and form a coalition government. The situation has gotten interesting enough that it’s caused Canada’s Governor-General Michaëlle Jean to interrupt her European tour to deal with it.

Background is available here.

Naturally, the Blogging Tories, Canada’s answer to Pajamas Media, are up in arms over the developments, flinging talking point feces all over the wingnutosphere*. That’s always entertaining.

Even better is my Canadian blogging pen-pal JJ’s amusement at American liberals taking notice of the perpetual-motion Schadenfreude machine that is the Harper government.

Fun times, indeed.

Al Qaeda Condemns "Unfair" Pro-Obama Press Bias

Global reactions to Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri’s controversial condemnation of U.S. President-Elect Barack Obama as a "House Slave" (or, alternatively, "House Negro") have begun to pour in — including via the top jihad web forums used by Al-Qaida to disseminate its propaganda. Though hardcore Al-Qaida supporters have predictably dismissed any criticism of Dr. al-Zawahiri and are fiercely backing his choice of words, there is a rather ironic (if not entirely unfamiliar) twist to this issue. After observing international press reporting on the incident, these same supporters are now bitterly attacking the media for its "unfair" pro-Obama bias and for deliberately "confusing" the meaning of al-Zawahiri’s message.

Why is the GOP helping the terrorists?

As my blog pen pal, Canadian Cynic, so aptly put it, “HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! ”

Bravely bold Sir Wingnut rode forth from Washington
He was not afraid to lose, O brave Sir Wingnut
He was not at all afraid to be voted out of office
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Wingnut

He was not in the least bit scared to be caught in a wide stance
Or to have buddies jailed for fraud or porking pages
To die in bed wtih two wetsuits and a dildo up his bum
In an “autoerotic mishap,” brave Sir Wingnut

His VP not vetted and his daughter pregnant
And his gay hooker squealing ‘bout his crystal meth
And his straight hooker revealing his diaper fetish
And his penis…

(“Well that’s enough music for now, lads…There’s dirty work afoot.”)

Brave Sir Wingnut ran away (“No!”)
Bravely ran away, away (“I didn’t!”)
When the Shitpile reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled (“No!”)
Yes, brave Sir Wingnut turned about
And gallantly he chickened out (“I didn’t!”)
Bravely taking to his feet (“I never did!”)
He beat a very brave retreat (“All lies!”)
Bravest of the brave, Sir Wingnut (“I never!”)

Well, according to the stats on Blogsome, this is my 1,000^th post. I’m stunned and amazed. I know this is is nothing for the likes of Atrios, who produces that many posts a year, but for me it’s pretty special.

And no, I don’t want a cookie.

It is a sad spectacle watching the mixed bag of nuts over at Townhall drown their sorrows over Tuesday’s election. Let’s watch the slow-motion trainwreck, shall we?

Yes, They Can

• SHRIIIEEEEEEEEK! Obama has enabled Sharia Creep™©®!!!1!1!!1!!1!eleventy-one!

Shorter Kevin McCullough:

No, We Can’t

• Buck up, fellow conservative warriors! Surely the American people will come back to us once they realize that their Messiah can’t save them! And we can help them realized that by persuing the exact same strategy that got our butts handed to us on Tuesday!

Shorter Paul Jacob:

The real agents of change

• We can get control of congress back with our new motto: “‘Change’ is the new ‘status quo!’” Wait, why are you laughing?

Shorter Doug Giles:

Should Christians Honor Barack Obama?

• B. Hussein will never be my president — he’s an evil, Marxist terrorist-loving Muslim! And I say to him, “And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.”

Local crusty old coot John Kelso weighs in on California’s Prop. H8. The money quote:

You know how you never hear anybody say, “Boy, those Californians sure are nutty, aren’t they?” Well, Californians want to keep it that way.

Actually, after the passage of Prop. H8, I’m starting to have my doubts…
