Being Right is Not Wrong

Check out this line by CNN reporter Cal Perry, from a propaganda piece with Hamas leader, Khaled Meshaal.

Why he agreed to talk to CNN at this moment remains a mystery to me.

Well let’s see. You buy everything he said hook, line and sinker.

I do have to say that this line shows the quality of writing we can expect these days.

We sipped coffee uneasily as we waited for Meshaal to emerge for an interview that was more than three years in the making. Suddenly and without warning, the Hamas leader appeared.

What do you mean “without warning”? Were you not waiting for him to emerge? Did you expect trumpets to blare and his security guards to start dancing?

Thanks CNN.

Stephen Taylor pointed his readers to The Tea Makers blog post for today which talked about the underlying reason behind the decision to pick an old movie over a key CFL game.

Have you ever watched CBC-TV and said to yourself “WTF?”

Or listened to CBC Radio. Or watched CBC Newsworld. Next time it happens look at the calendar and you’ll find that it’s July or August. Probably August.

Because the summertime is when the A-Team takes a much-needed vacation and leaves the reigns to the B-Team, a rag-tag band of not ready for prime-timers who finally get their chance to be in charge. This happens from the top down, from the “on-air personalities” to the lady who doles out the money through the petty cash wicket.

OK, let me get this straight. Everyone that knows what they’re doing goes on holidays at the same time? Interesting. I think it’s time to shut the CBC down for the summer then so its not complete morons making decisions in the absence of the incomplete morons.

Better yet, just stop the government funding and see if the A Team is actually an A Team. My guess is that they would last about a week before the pink slips started flying.

There’s an uproar in Atlanta. No, Michael Vick has not been caught catfighting.

This is something that everyone of us have had to deal with in the past.

Baggy pants that show boxer shorts or thongs would be illegal under a proposed amendment to Atlanta’s indecency laws.

The ACLU is a little concerned though.

American Civil Liberties Union Georgia president Debbie Seagraves said the proposal is too vague and would unfairly target African-Americans.

“We’re going to do that in a society that has already criminalized young black youth to the point (that) we already have hundreds of black men in prison,” Seagraves said.

Yes, that’s right. The ACLU is saying that Black American’s are more likely to get caught with their pants down.

Martin said the penalty would be a fine.

I say the penalty should be a fine pair of suspenders.

We’re still waiting for a word from the plumbers.

Good news… for Eskimo fans that missed the end of the game last night. (Sorta like the Eskimos did.)

CBC Sports will broadcast the thrilling finish to the seesaw game between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Edmonton Eskimos late Sunday.

Oh wait…

The final quarter of the game will air on CBC at 12:30 a.m. Monday local time in all Canadian markets.

Ya. that’s awesome. Thanks CBC. I was going to be sleeping at that time but I can’t pass up another opportunity to listen to Lee and Walby.

My tax dollars at werk.

Mop and Pail is covering the story.

It is time for the government to stop giving my tax money to the CBC.

So I’m trying to watch the end of the Saskatchewan Roughrider game against the Edmonton Eskimos but for some reason, even though the game was back on after its rain delay, CBC kept on with its movie night.

A little ticked off, I wandered downstairs just in case one of the other CBC stations was showing the game. Luckily for me, I was able to pick up the CBC Regina station and watch the end of the game.

I know everyone else was not that lucky.

Note to the CBC: I can rent the movie. (Not that I’d want to.)

Prime Minister Harper, please stop funding that organization. There is no reason billions should be spent on that group of people without common sense.

Related.

Thanks to Kate at SDA for the linkage.

Update: The CBC will air the rest of the game on all its stations… just after midnight local time.
