Being Right is Not Wrong

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.

In words that could get one fired from our “Public Broadcaster,” Rick Mercer puts together a response to a whining Professor of Women’s Studies whose Christmas was ruined by the CBC showing a “poor sod” soldier.

Personally, I would have thought that as a professor of women’s studies you would be somewhat supportive of the notion of a NATO presence in Afghanistan. After all, it is the NATO force that is keeping the Taliban from power. In case you missed it Noreen, the Taliban was a regime that systematically de-peopled women to the point where they had no human rights whatsoever. This was a country where until very recently it was illegal for a child to fly a kite or for a little girl to receive any education.

I still can’t figure out how Jack! and other left wing nutbars who “fight” for minority rights could even think of withdrawing from Afghanistan.

By the way, Pray for Our Troops!
