tories develop stunning new PR technology

I’m not talking about the British Tories. They seem to have developed stunning new hydroponic agricultural techniques, judging by some of the half-baked stuff they’re turning out lately.

No indeed. I’m talking about Heil Harper and his merry band of morticians.

raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens used for cheap political purposes

Isn’t that a look of terror in that poor kitty’s eyes? I bet she knows all about those Harper Eats Babies rumours which were never adequately refuted and figures she’s next on the menu. The one at the rear is quite obviously trying to make her escape before off-camera goons can seize her and beat her unconscious.

from a Tory informant in Michelle’s World:

“Attention Liberals:

We have released our new campaign strategy that is sure to win us a majority. The trick: Kittens. In every photo op in everything Harper is doing: kittens. Consider the example above: What’s that secret legislation he’s signing? Holy crap – it’s part of the hidden agenda… but wait, no… what are those? Kittens??? That can’t be a hidden agenda, it’s probably the “Sunshine and Lollipop Act, 2006”. What a warm, loving and wonderful Prime Minister!

You’re finished.”

Bullish on Bloodshed

But how can the market be up when everyone's at Bohemian Grove?

From Jesus’ General

I really don’t understand how the market can be up when everyone’s at Bohemian Grove.

And here is an article from the Guardian about the War on Children:

It’s weird, the things that make you feel better in the south of Lebanon, but seven dead instead of 40 gave me a sense of relief.

Then another child was pulled from under the rubble, and another followed, and then another. You go a little crazy when you see little body after little body coming up out of the ground. I looked around me and all I could see in the house was the detritus of their short lives – big plastic bags filled with clothes, milk cans, plastic toys and a baby carriage.

As we walked, jumping from one boulder to the other, Ali said: “My father and mother went with my other brothers and sisters to another town. They said they will come and get me when the bombs stop.”

In the scorching sunshine above, Israeli jets were flying, their sound mixed with that of the drones. Suddenly a thud came from the hills and Ali froze. “They are going to bomb again!” He started to cry. “Why are the Israelis hitting us? Do they hate us? My cousin Mahmoud called me on the phone and he told me that the nuclear bombs are really big. Are they as big as these rockets?” It’s hard to convey quite how shocked, perhaps quite literally shell-shocked – this little boy was. He was almost delusional.
