“…that’s not a spontaneous movie protest; that’s an act of war…”

“…and better planned and executed than the dying superpower’s response to it.”

When it comes to a flailing, blundering superpower, I am generally wary of ascribing to malevolence what is more often sheer stupidity and incompetence. For example, we’re told that, because the consulate in Benghazi was designated as an “interim facility,” it did not warrant the level of security and protection that, say, an embassy in Scandinavia would have.

Perhaps sadder still is the appearance that the Obama administration, particularly the State Department and the media actually believe their assertions that this is all about an Internet movie NOBODY saw until after the events in Libya.

For Obama it’s hubris, for the Administration it’s pure incompetence – for the media it’s dereliction of duty.

Harper’s Conservatives have a 7 point lead…

Liberals and NDP say Canadians are stupid…

Liberal MP Ralph Goodale echoed that sentiment, adding that the government’s handling of the spring omnibus budget bill was symptomatic of its general contempt for parliamentary democracy.

“If it’s the same kind of attitude and the same style that we saw in the spring, then there’s very likely to be a lot of acrimony about that,” Mr. Goodale said.

“Not only did members of Parliament not like it, but Canadians generally didn’t like that approach to just lumping everything together, cutting off debate, ramming it through and telling people basically to go to hell.”

We just don’t know what is good for us…

The Conservatives had a 10-point lead in Ontario, with 39 per cent to the Liberals’ 29, the NDP’s 23 and the Greens’ six.

The NDP and Conservatives were tied at 33 per cent in British Columbia, with the Liberals at 19 and the Greens at 13.

The Conservatives held a commanding lead in Alberta and Manitoba/Saskatchewan.

And Quebec is irrelevant

Silly Europeans – Democracy Died When You Created the EU

So go ahead and hold your protests and referendums – until you take back your countries it will make no difference…

Anti-Austerity Protests Return To Spain

The developments came as Luis de Guindos, economy minister, said that Spain’s borrowing costs still do not reflect the country’s economic and fiscal adjustment, despite their recent easing.” The key word uttered that makes this whole protest a moot point: “referendum” – silly Europeans don’t seem to get quite yet that Democracy has been dead for decades, supplanted by kleptofascist globalization with just enough handouts for the lower and middle classes (usually in terms of welfare promises) to keep everyone happy…

On one hand people are protesting wage cuts; on the other Spain itself is insolvent as priced in by the market which anticipates Spain will eventually request a rescue by the ECB in turn sending its bonds lower; on the third hand Rajoy has now made it clear as long as Spanish bonds are cheap he will not request a bailout; on the fourth hand, the recent action by the Fed appears to have finally broken the hope trade with Spanish bonds sliding even as the IBEX ripped meaning very soon not only will Spain run out of cash

I also happen to agree with Nakoula that making a movie about a faith whose prophet married a six year old and deflowered her at nine is of thematic and dramatic relevance. As a father, I am seriously concerned about child abuse, as is most of our film-going public, I would imagine.

Indeed, the beginnings of Islam are the very stuff of great theatre and cinema, reprehensible as the actions of the protagonist may be. In fact, it may be great because of those actions. After all, Richard III is not a classic for nothing.

So I am very tempted by the subject of Mohammed.

Because apparently five star generals threatening US citizens on US soil isn’t as effective…
