This is fabulous. One American filmmaker got fed up with hearing Candians gloat over their supposedly superior health care system and decided to check it out for himself. He discovered that the Canadian system has some bizarre features. For example, you can get a CAT-scan for your pet any time you like, but probably will have to wait months to get one for yourself. By making government the only legal provider of “necessary” care, the system sets itself up to suffer shortages - of specialists, equipment, operating rooms, even hospitals as I’m sure everybody is finally starting to realize. Only Cuba and North Korea share Canada’s philosophy in this area.

But the biggest stumbling block to changing Canda’s ridiculous health care system is probably the fact that Canadians have got their national identity all entwined in it. The evidence for this assertion is the millions of Canadians who sit idly waiting for their place in line to come up. (Apparently it is even common to have your scheduled service postponed several times for certain operations.) Why don’t they stampede across the border to buy the same services easily? Either they’re too Canadian or they really don’t get the free trade concept at all.

Aw, shucks. Wouldn’t ya know it. The cowboy’s unpatrolled mouth is gonna sink the ship. Hopefully, that is. You never know with this Voldemortarian administration that has an uncanny ability to wage evil right under the noses the lapdog press. But, check this out!

LAW CHIEF GAGS THE MIRROR ON BUSH LEAK
By Kevin Maguire

THE Daily Mirror was yesterday told not to publish further details from a top secret memo, which revealed that President Bush wanted to bomb an Arab TV station.

The gag by the Attorney General Lord Goldsmith came nearly 24 hours after the Mirror informed Downing Street of its intention to reveal how Tony Blair talked Bush out of attacking satellite station al-Jazeera’s HQ in friendly Qatar.

WARMONGER: Bush

No 10 did nothing to stop us publishing our front page exclusive yesterday.

But the Attorney General warned that publication of any further details from the document would be a breach of the Official Secrets Act.

They published that photo, with that caption. It made me realize that probably 98 percent of Europeans HATE Bush. How long can this farce go on?

Man, politics has been mental for me the last few weeks. I’ve been too busy too write anything in my blog. White phosphorus has finally hit the news. MK77 (napalm) too. I only recently discovered the horrible fact of depleted uranium. Voldemort seems to be doing well. And then I found THIS. Click this link, and I guarantee, you will start to take my Harry Potter analogy more seriously. (You must have read at least book five to really understand what I mean.)

Ambassador de Sade

Oh, I can’t resist. Exerpt:

(intro)
Bush rewarded one of his loyalists with the ambassadorship to Italy — despite his past as the founder of an cult-like teen rehab clinic.
…
Melvin Sembler stepped down earlier this year as Our Man In Rome — he also served under the first Bush as Ambassador to Australia. Were Monroe’s story unique, his STRAIGHT clinics might still be in business. Instead, his creation, which he stubbornly defends, closed under a breathtaking array of institutional abuse claims by 1993, ranging from sexual abuse, beating and stomping to boys called “faggots” for hours while being spat upon — humiliation so bad that a Pennsylvania judge recently ruled it potentially mitigating of a Death Row sentence for a former STRAIGHT teen who committed a homophobic murder.

Although prosecutors closed the clinics, six-figure settlements sucked it dry, and state health officials yanked its licenses after media reports of teen torture and cover-up, Sembler himself escaped punishment. As one of the preeminent and hardest-working GOP fundraisers, Sembler has received the honor of living during the George W. Bush presidency at the Villa Taverna, the official residence for the U.S. ambassador, which has the largest private garden in Rome. One night in May at “The Magic Kingdom” (as Mel and Betty call it), the dining room filled with smoke from fine cigars, as the ambassador entertained Bush Sr. and an entourage — until Betty complained that the old friends were stinking up “my house,” the Washington Post reported.

That’s just a taste…
