BIG BABY Showing the kind

BIG BABY

Showing the kind of intellectual maturity one normally expects of cryptofascists, one William Quick thinks he's IP-banned me from accessing his website. Boo hoo. He hasn't had anything important or useful to say for months anyway; I have to confess I've only tuned in regularly to enjoy his slow-motion aneurysm over what he clearly sees as a progressively worsening American foreign policy failure. Can't say I'll miss that.

Still, it shows you exactly how much faith members of the American far right like yon William put in the founding principles of their nation, unless it's the Second Amendment itself... at least Paine, Jefferson et al could both take it AND dish it out, but the tendency of these self-identified true American patriots to withdraw into a bubble safe from any intrusion of actual reality or contrary viewpoint is pronounced.

THEIR PUBLIC-APPEARANCES ANDROID APPEARS TO BE MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN

Canada has clearly stated at the beginning of this crisis in the summer, and I repeated that to [U.S.] President George W. Bush, that we Canadians are going to war only, only under the umbrella of the United Nations. So there has been no confusion, I explained that clearly.

--Prime Minister Jean Chretien, speaking to a child earlier today

The Prime Minister's Office later said that [the robot] Mr. Chrétien was stating a general principle and that the government is "keeping the options open."
