Nah, I was joking. I say insulting things about your present President with happy frequency. You are invited to say anything at all you would like about our Prime Minister. Heck, even take a shot at the Maple Leaf.

I see. And when you say insulting things about other posters? Joking, no doubt? As in:

Calling the Clintons or the Bushes names is not the same as wishing them calamity.

I have NEVER called Bush names.

Wishing him calamity is something I would expect from the vile and vengeful haters of the Canadian Left.
Prudent expectation.
In your desire to achieve the anarchistic chaos of total freedom, many of you hate all that is wholesome and decent.
We LOVE what is wholesome and decent. We wish to spend more time with the wholesome and the decent. But the chances we are going to accept your proscriptions on what them there things look like is not very good at all. (PS...wow, you must once have behaved pretty badly to later go flying off into such rigorous puritanical messianism. Please send photos
Many of you snarl and bite at the restraints of an ordered society, and would chew off your own legs to be free of them.
Would we? We are getting better. I used to have trouble facing a hangnail.
You are certainly content to chew up all who oppose you.
Spitting, spitting out bad tasting Republican.

Where's revel? How's that for a "thought out piece?"

As I've happily acknowledged, it was a pretty ridiculous and quite exaggerated comment about many of the Canadian Left.

Yes, I forgot about that one.

That was very insulting, wasn't it?

And I'm afraid I can't find the humor behind it.

AP Changes "Boos" to "Ooohs" in Report on Bush and Clinton

NEW YORK The Associated Press changed "boos" to "ooohhs" Friday afternoon in reporting on President George Bush's first statement to supporters on the heart ailment that has befallen former President Bill Clinton.

In a dispatch sent to subscribers in early afternoon, the AP reported that when Bush, at a campaign rally in West Allis, Wisconsin, told the crowd that he wished to send Clinton his "best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery," the audience "of thousands booed. Bush did nothing to stop them."

Pretty damning, except that AP soon changed its story, only after the original appeared on many Web sites.

Several Web sites revealed that AP "retracted" the report "citing uncertainties about how to characterize the crowd's reaction."

The new version moved on the wire Friday described the same incident this way, after relating Bush's remarks: "The crowd reacted with applause and with some 'ooohs,' apparently surprised by the news that Clinton was ill."

A Knight Ridder/Tribune (KRT) report put it this way: "Some in Bush's audience booed when he wished Clinton well...." The AFP wire report declared that after Bush's statement "thousands of boisterous supporters clapped respectfully."

Well, DO something about it Blatham!!!

Sheesh - don't you have opposeable thumbs?

I am in foul humour for no good reason.

But - I think someone is going to die....

well Bunny I too have been to Queensland and I understand your anquish

damn conservative media and their lying lies. I bet someone from Rove's office made them change their story.
