Vote for your favourite Hockey Night in Canada song

This song is the Voice of Fire on ice. Vote for your favourite proposed Hockey Night in Canada theme song.

The song is a cacaphony of baaing sheep and crying crack-babies. After listening to this song, I now understand the meaning of the Voice of Fire painting at the the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. The Voice of Fire represents the unity and division of the blue-red-blue lines of hockey. Hockey represents Canada.

Television viewers could watch the Hockey Night in Canada opening with this irritatingly beautiful song in the background. Viewers can watch heiss-eiss (hot-ice) hockey skates burning trails on a cold lazy-S Voice of Fire rink.

This song is too perfect! It's not worth $100,000; it's worth a million!

At least Canada's kangaroo courts do not torture people

Canada supposedly has its kangaroo courts through the various federal and provincial human rights commissions; the United States has its kangaroo court at Guantanamo. Prime Minister Harper supports the Gitmo kangaroo court and the US military jurisdiction to torture and try a Canadian citizen.

The problem with Omar Khadr is that he does not have blond hair, blue eyes, and peachy-white skin like many other Canadians. If Khadr's family were devout peachy-white Christians and if Omar had converted to Islam, he would have been back on Canadian soil several years ago.

The problem with Khadr is that he is the wrong kind of Canadian.

I'm with Ezra on free speech

Prominent conservative blogger, Ezra Levant, likes to share his views about free speech in Canada. While I do not always share his conservative viewpoints about we should live in Canada, I do support his concepts of free speech, that we are generally able to speak and publish things freely without state intervention. We do not need to justify to any government agency why we speak or publish our thoughts in a certain way. I don't think he or I would suggest free speech is absolute. If the state wishes to deny our right to speak or publish our thoughts in words or pictures, then it must enact a law denying that right. We don't have the right to write or say things that are libellous or slanderous. We don't have the right to publish the names of underaged people who are charged with crimes. We don't have the right to publish pornographic pictures related to children.

Why should some citizens want to deny Ezra Levant or me the right to publish a picture of the Prophet Mohammad? Is he some kind of Medusa that will turn us into stone? I can publish a picture of Hitler, Jesus, and Medusa. Somehow, Mohammad ist verboten.

I do not wish to be told to write a certain way. I am my own copy editor. If I wish to write BC and AD rather than BCE (Before the Common Era) and CE (Common Era), that is my choice. If I wish to write black instead of African-Canadian, that is my choice. If I wish to publish a picture of what I think the Prophet Muhammad looked like, that is my choice. If I wish to write Jews instead of Jewish people, that is my choice and my right. I do prefer a more pleasant Juvian. I don't think this will catch on with the general public.

I present to you my Muhammad based on the likeness of the Prophet Steyn. Aren't they both handsome? Both look so fragile and beautiful like delicate flowers.

Heinz pulls ad in the UK: two men kissing

Happy Pride Week in Toronto to all the Pride-betyrians! Just watch out for the British tourist men eating sandwiches with Heinz mayonnaise. They might kiss each other. I wonder if the Heinz UK ad was one that Heinz knew would get controversy just so people would want to see it on YouTube. Sometimes, negative advertising is better than no advertising.

Battle of the Star Trek captains for President of the US of A

There is some eery resemblances in looks and personalities between some of the Star Trek captains and the US presidential candidates. Here is John McCain as Next Generation's Capt. Jean-Luc Picard.

"There are four lights!" said Capt. Picard McCain when he was held prisoner by the Cardassians.

Next, we have Barack Obama as Deep Space Nine's Capt. Benjamin Sisko.

Finally, Hilary Clinton plays Capt. Kathryn Janeway on Voyager. She was destroyed by Sisko Obama because the evil Borg collective tried to transmit Sisko Obama's thoughts about not really wanting to change the Intergalactic Free Trade Agreement among the Federation, Ferengi, and Vulcans even though Sisko Obama told his crew that he would. Captain Janeway Clinton (who wore pantsuits [sexist comment]) had her supporters start spreaking rumours that Sisko Obama went to a Klingon training-camp school that supported extremism when he was young.

All three captains wanted to lead the Federation. Capt. Janeway Clinton had a wonderful record but her starship and her mind were really in outer space. Really, her only chance of leading the Federation would have been if Sisko Obama were obliterated by the Borg collective. That didn't happen. Sisko Obama decided help bring Janeway Clinton's Voyager starship home by giving her coordinates to a wormhole that would bring her ship back sooner. Unfortunately, the wormhole sent her further into space where she and her crew were destroyed by the Romulans.

Now it's a race to see who will lead the Federation: Picard McCain or Sisko Obama. Vote at my Star Trek captain for US president poll.

Eric Margolis on why the US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan

Eric Margolis wrote a great column in the Toronto Sun about why the United States invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. He also mentioned that four major western oil companies, Exxon Mobil, Shell, BP, and Total will be signing a US brokered no-bid contracts to begin exploiting Iraq's oil fields. These same companies were expelled from Iraq when Saddam Hussein nationalized the Iraqi oil industry. He also wrote that the US needs Afghanistan through which to build a pipeline from the oil rich states of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakstan to Pakistan. This oil will help feed the SUVs in America.

I will add that if the US were not leading the oil development and pipelines, Russia and/or China could. If Russia were ever to make an oil development and pipeline agreement with Iran and Azerbaijan, the US could go to war with Iran by using the pretext of Iran exporting Islamic extremism in the Middle East.

What would Jesus do? Blog Poll: Your choice for US president

This is my non-scientific poll on bloggers' support for president of the United States of America.

I assume that Barack Obama will become the Democratic nominee. John McCain is le choix des Républicains. I include Jesus Christ because anytime there is a presidential debate, the candidates usually indicate that Jesus is their inspiration. I am leaving out minor candidates because it's my poll and I can do what I like. If you do not like it, then make up your own poll.

Vote for the next US president through my blog poll.
