Anyone whose watched Top Gear for any length of time has heard them make fun of Britain's Health and Safety boards. I've always thought they were just joking around and making things worse then they are for comedy's sake. Apparently they're not.Who knew firemen in Europe were such fragile things? My guess is if there was a fire at a Health and Safety office, the crews on the way would be

The National Republican Senatorial Committee has put up a new video on YouTube in response to the Democrats push behind their bill to demolish a workers right to a secret ballot when deciding to unionize or not.

I can't find video of Hannity and Colmes from last night but I was mildly shocked to see that finally Alan Colmes had found a topic that he considers taboo for discussion on collage campuses. So far I've have seen him support the importing of terrorists/terrorists sympathizers to talk to large college crowds, antisemitc professors praising Hezbollah, and a myriad of other extremists who regularly

First the Senators win game 5 of the Eastern Conference championships to clinch the title and earn a spot in the Stanley Cup finals and then I get a call from Bill with the news of the birth of his bouncing baby girl, Ariane Émilie. She's pretty cute, with her mothers eyes and her fathers hair (do they make baseball hats in size 0?).Just kidding Bill, congrats!

Sens take the series 4-1 with a 3-2 win over New Jersey last night.I really wish I had put money on this series but I could only find one person who was betting on the Devils and that was mostly because his beloved Canadiens were already out, so not a lot of cash to be made there.So now on to round 3 for only the second time in the modern Senators history. Looking at the possible opponents I'm

This story over at Michelle Malkin's is just hilarious and at the same time a perfect example of RDS, a strain of the much more viral BDS.Seriously, generating controversy and making an insane conspiracy mainstream on the left these days has about the same degree of difficulty as playing "peek-a-boo" or "watch the keys" with a 6 month old.

JonQuixote has a pretty good run down of the latest news about the 'Cheney should die' thread over at Huffington Post.It's obvious from Arianna's reaction that she herself never reads her own blog. Wishing death to the President or Vice President is nothing new for most mainstream left blogs. In fact as Jon, and several other bloggers, point out one of Arianna's own bloggers has done so in an

You can feel the outrage that "Faux News" (I wonder if any of them have actually tried to pronounce their little play on words) will be hosting yet another Democratic Debate.Of course giving the Democratic Primary debate a national televised audience on the most watched news channel in North America is all some part of Rupert Murdoch's evil plan to keep Republicans in the White House.There is one

... but I'll go on the record, again, stating Ann Coulter does not represent me.As I've said more than once, I may agree with many of her underlying arguments but she has a way of presenting her case that often does much more harm than good. Always looking to go that extra mile when a foot would do.I find that anytime she's on TV at some point in the conversation she bound to say something to

An interesting concept.I have to admit I've never heard of this party until the comment dropped off on my site last week but after looking at their website they have some good ideas. I can't say I agree with them all but in the very least having a party dedicated to electoral change should get the discussions going. It's time the Canadian system gets an overhaul and the best way to start is

Smith falls is a small town on the outskirts of Ottawa with a population of about 9000 people. If Hersey follows through on their plans to shut down their plant and move it to Mexico that will mean at least 500 direct jobs lost and countless indirect ones. I'm sure Smith Falls will survive as a town, thanks to it's close proximity to Ottawa, but moving from a self sustaining town to a suburb of

I didn't actually see the show but I did look up the results this morning and all that I had to see was that "Cars" lost to "Happy Feet" and I figured why bother with the rest. Oh yeah, and Scorsese finally won so there's at least some good news.

I'm not usually big on online petitions (fully half of which seem to be dedicated to getting Greg Gutfeld kicked off Huffington Post) but this one is for a good cause which crosses all political stripes.The Free Kareem Amer Petition has been set up to try and pressure anyone who has some power to try and undo the incarceration of Abdul Kareem Nabeel Suleiman, an Egyptian blogger who just

Is anyone surprised that the Liberals have chosen to help spread democracy by banning candidates from running for office? This is the perfect example of a typical liberal solution to a perceived problem.Simply put, since the percentage of female politicians is lower than the percentage of women in the general population the Liberal Party of Canada have decided that the only solution is to

The most interesting part of John Edwards hiring, then flirting with firing, then confirming he's keeping bloggers Amanda Marcotte (of Pandagon (warning: not safe for young children)) and Melissa McEwan (of Shakespeare's Sister) is not that it shows an amazing lack of common sense on the part of a Democratic Presidential contender but that it shows just how out of touch Ms. Marcotte's defender

Just don't go looking to the UN to find it.We've all heard about the latest UN report on global warming which announces with a high degree of certainty that the latest increase in worldwide temperatures are due to human activities but as with everything else out of the UN there is more to this report than first appears.

And this is NBC's goto guy for politics.So to recap, we have staunch liberals Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews as their primary political analysts and William Arkin, a rabid anti-armed services far left liberal covering the military but according to the left we are all to believe that they never let their preconceived notions and biases affect their reporting of the 'truth'.

How is it that the Democrats can hear an unforgivable insult when a Republican uses a word no one has ever heard of but yet can't hear anything wrong with a self professed terrorists supporter leading prayer at their national meeting and calling for them to follow “The path of the people you bless, not the path of the people you doom.” and an end to the "occupation and oppression" resulting from

So the decision has been made, the deposit handed over and I should be getting my new car sometime by the end of March. As I type there is a GM factory somewhere receiving an order for a brand new 2007 G6 GTP with my name on it.Not that my Grand Am hasn't been a great car but I just can't wait to pick up my new keys and test out my additional 77 horses.

and unlike Ms. Morrisette's 1996 song, this does fit the definition:At last nights "Troop Appreciation Night" at the Senators hockey game, an enthusiastic supporter was waving around an extremely over sized cardboard or plastic "Support Our Troops" yellow ribbon which in her excitement she did not notice was hitting one of the uniformed servicemen sitting two seats away from her in the head on
