The joke that is the Coalition
Seriously, what a croc.
It turns out that Dion will be out earlier then expected, and rightly so after bringing the Liberal Party to its knees over the past two weeks. The disgrace that this party has taken on is massive. The NDP is much the same, western NDP members are cringing at what could be a messy aftermath.
And what was this all for? The betterment of Canada? Highly unlikely. To help the economy? Highly doubtful. It was done for some sort of personal political agenda that three retards had planned.
When did Canada ever vote for a Coalition government? By my last count Canada voted for a Conservative parliament. And please don't give me the crap about popular vote, when the popular vote was shared between three parties, one of which isn't even a federal party.
So why did Taliban Jack and The Weak One think they could ever do something so stupid behind the backs of millions of Canadians? Why did they throw out Democracy? Why did they betray the Canadian public? Why didn't they consult their own voters and furthermore, their own constituents?
Instead, they lead the country into unneeded turmoil, the showed lack of organization, lack of logic, and lack of understanding of the very people they represent. Pathetic.
The Governor General was right in suspending parliament. We have to sit back and sift through the idiots in the opposition. Dion will be out as early as Wednesday, with Ignatieff his likely successor. A step in the right direction for the lowly Liberals. Not the same can be said for the Socialists. They just don't get it. Layton is as useful as Jessica Simpson is at figuring out what is fish and what is chicken. Problem is, so are most NDP'ers so no wonder they can't see the problem.
We will also get to see the budget that the Coalition seemed to think was insufficient, even though no one has seen it yet. We can also enjoy our Christmas now. YAY!
I've talked about this a lot on other blogs already, so i just want to say thanks to the Liberals and the NDP/Socialists/Commies/Idiots for making my Conservative party look good. Thanks for swaying more votes to the conservative side, thanks for ruining your own respective parties reputations, though, not like you had a good one to begin with. Merry Christmas.

Strange thought process
Why do Americans vote for change when said-change involves Higher Taxes, higher prices on imports and therefore higher prices on goods and services. Why vote for pro-abortion? Pro-welfare?
Oh I get it, the uneducated and poor, and people who make bad decisions in life decided to vote for once because they were promised that they would live in equality with the rich people in America. WHAT A CROCK!!
Anyone who believes privatized business's will stand for higher taxes belong in the category of voters who voted for Obama, problems in the brain.

The Whaaambulance...
For the the whiners and critics and the people who bitch and moan about another conservative government.
CANADA HAS SPOKEN, DEAL WITH IT.
And if you wanna blame someone blame yourself. Blame yourself for the record low amount of people that voted. Blame yourself for not caring about Canada on TV then watching something that effects you. And blame yourself for being naive and ignorant to Canada.
As a Conservative I'm happy they won, and even more happy when i see all the whiners come out in vast numbers this morning. You probably didn't vote, probably didn't concern yourself with the issues, and probably couldn't care less. You don't deserve to whine and moan, you don't deserve to take issues in the matter of our government and you make no difference in this world whatsoever.
And please don't tell me your vote wouldn't have counted, there were a lot of tight races. And were talking almost half of Canada could have still voted. It's a shame really.
On the other hand, thank you half-of-Canada for not voting in Communism and thank you for not raising the price of fuel. I guess some credit is deserved.
GO HARPER!!!!!!!!!!

A majority makes sense...
Times like these call for a majority government. With the economic crisis that is hitting the states and other countries abroad, a government with the ability to make decisions without having to lean on other parties with differing opinions is of greater importance then ever before.
Whether you agree with the Conservatives or not, a majority government will give Canada the tools it needs to stabilize the economy before we have USA 2.0. If we do end up with another minority government, there is going to be a struggle when it comes to passing economic laws and reforms that would better the country. Whether you believe it or not, a Conservative Majority isn't going to run Canada into the ground. It is the only Platform it seems that isn't using scare tactics as a major part of their campaign.
Harper is young, ambitious and very effective. If you look at his record over that past two and a half years you can see the evidence of this. He has stuck to his original platform for taxes and crime. He has made steady strides in Child care as well. He has remained steadfast in his role, and unlike the previous government, he has remained pretty much scandal-free for the duration of his tenure.
Without a majority, Harper will have a tough time controlling the house and passing economic reforms to keep Canada out of a recession. Layton and Dion will compromise Canada before they will save it, and that's just the way it is. They will sabotage Harper and in turn Canada as well because political gain is more important to them then Canadians financial situations. Furthermore they will blame it all on Harper, and Canadians will buy it because, lets face it, some are stupid, examples of this are voting for the NDP.
The case for a majority is strong, Canada needs it right now, the Canadian people need it. More political uncertainty will not help the economy. We need a strong leadership, one that the Conservatives have proven again and again. We need a leadership that has ambitions for Canada, one that will be conservative in spending and not try and tax the living hell out of Canadians. We need a leadership that will be effective in spending and not rely on the money tree to fund 50 billion dollars that we don't have.
Canada needs the Conservatives to be a majority, otherwise we might as well merge with the US.

The debate
I found myself watching the debates last night with a buddy of mine, and while we shared a few jokes, I was enthralled by it.
Things that I noted last night:
1. No one gave a flying F--- about the questions asked. While Mr. Harper answered the questions posed to him, the other clowns would give a one-liner and then immediately attack Harper and a plethora of issues, half the time not even pertaining to the question posed by the viewer.
2. Jack Layton is retarded. This guy knows he won't win, so he does everything he can possibly do to promote his communist ways in front of 30 million Canadians that couldn't care less about his stupid and unrealistic ideas. He did give me a good laugh when he questioned Dion's ability to lead the Liberal Party, but nonetheless, hes a commie. Instead of giving $500 dollars in tax cuts a year to Families to compensate for their children's various art programs, a plan proposed by the Tories, he wants to give $400 to families a year to keep them off the street. ??? Wouldn't the $500 be more beneficial to the cause? Not only is it $100 more, but it gives them incentive to send their kids to piano or dance lessons. Well thought out Jack!
3. Stephane Dion has less knowledge then the common chimp. Seriously, this guy can't barely speak the English language, yet he wants us to trust him with leadership of all Canadian people when he cannot put a coherent sentence together. Dion's Carbon tax is a fraud, no way in hell does that work in the Canadian Economy. He can make all the comparisions he wants to European countries. but difference in economy and currency and balance make those claims irrelevant. Dion's Idea of a "Fun Canada" is childish, his so-called appreciation of the Arts was less the believeable.
4. Gilles Duceppe, while irrelevant to anyone outside Quebec, is always good for a laugh. I laughed out loud at his poke at all the leaders when he said "I know I won't be prime minister and three of you won't be prime minister, neither," he said, gesturing at his colleagues around the table. "Some of you know it, but you won't say it." Pointing at Layton, Dion and May. Everything Duceppe days starts and ends with the noun Quebec. While he will never be a Prime Minister, he will always be good to stir the pot and then sit their and smirk. He has nothing to lose.
5. Elizebeth May. Completely Irrelevant. She got way to much time for having one seat in the house. Her campaign managers must have told her before she went in to say things that Canadians want to hear. So she sat there, completely lied to everyone in Canada, took what all the other parties wanted and molded them together and then said them out loud. She would pipe up with useless quips, even at the end of the debate when she was defending this debate over the Palin vs. Bidden. She gets a 1/10 for trying, and a 0/10 for material. None of it mattered.
6. Stephen Harper. Dude looked good after the apparent steam rolling he got. He knew what questions where coming his way, and responded to the criticisms by the other Parlimentarians rather well from what I saw. He dodged a few Bullets I'm sure Canadians would have rather had answered, but he remained steadfast in his ways. He outlined what the country has become in his short tenure as PM. He defended and even hit out at some of the things levied against him. He didnt have to do much, he wans't going to win or lose the election last night, so he remained calm for the most part and gave pre-planned answers in a safe and monotone way. I would have liked to see a platform from Harper, but does he need one right now? Many have pegged him with a huge margin victory from last night.
If anything last night, the Tories won on a couple fronts. There are two types of voters in Canada at this point. The first is the ones that know it will be a Torie Government. This will affect their voting, as some may not even do so. This hinders the Liberals and the NDP who would like to see those votes come their way. In turn this helps the Tories because they aren't losing any votes to the Liberals or the NDP. Pretty Simple, no?
The second train of thought is that the race is close. Close is good for all parties, but it helps the Tories out again, as long as these swing voters agree that the Liberal party is in shambles, this swing vote will go to a more compotent party, one that wont be calling another election or changing leaders in the next year. Moreso, if votes go the NDP way, then the Liberals will lose those votes. This is a two horse race, and most Liberals second vote would go to the NDP if not satisfied with their own party. This just helps the Majority that the Tories are yearning for.
I rather enjoyed the debate, i havent seen the numbers yet as far as viewers go, but i would hope that Canadians took some interest in what they complain about.

Simply Disgusting!
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/football/09/16/england.chelsea.terry/index.html
Any other team doesn't get this to work. Screw Chelsea and paying off the FA.
Any other team doesn't get this to work. Screw Chelsea and paying off the FA.
Stupid American Swine
Since the Day Tom Hicks and George Gillett took over Liverpool I have been concerned with the future of the storied football club. Don't get me wrong, the promises they set out and even splashing the cash on such players as Fernando Torres led me to be believe otherwise. The future of my favorite club looked bright. That was until they dumped on the debt. Then they tried to hire Jurgen Klinnsman for no reason. Why? Why Klinnsman? And for what good reason? Rafa has led the Reds to European glory, another final and semi final in the Champions league, a FA cup triumph, and maintained top 4 in the league. Now this year we have topped the table and have beaten Manchester United for the first time in 7 years at home in the league. Klinnsman is not a good manager, plain and simple. He's more about the spotlight then actually winning games.
Now the American Swine are refusing to fund the new stadium plans, and won't sell the club to DIC. Assholes. They are clearly not interested in the club, though the yanks has doubled their investment already. They have no interest in spending cash to buy players, having only allocated 45 million to player transfers. They aren't interested in funding the stadium, having only allocated 60 million for a stadium worth 6 times that. And all they are really good at is fighting with Rafa, and Parry and pissing the players and fans off but the tens of thousands. SELL THE DAMN CLUB!
DIC are waiting in the wings, though for a reasonable price tag. The Swine are asking for 800 million pounds, 1.6 Billion American. DIC are rich, the richest in the UAE, but they aren't dumb. The club is worth a lot, but even that is too steep. DIC are ready to build a new stadium now, they are ready to buy new players, ASAP. They want to show their brass, they want to compete and make a stronger team. And they also want to compete with their rivals who just bought Manchester City.
While that does have me worried a bit, DIC aren't wanting to take over the soccer world, and Manchester City is the second team in Manchester. They have no history, and they are going to send wash outs and people only playing for money. That equals little success. Liverpool are a household name, players will flock to a team that are stalwart in Champions League and the domestic league.
It is time. It is time to move on from these pricks. They have tried to ruin England's most successful club team. Liverpool's fans are coming together, looking for 100,000 fans to donate 5 G's to buy majority control over the club. Reports are saying that DIC would fund the rest. Fan own clubs have won 7 Champions league titles in the last 15 years. And with some money through the DIC minority, Player transfers would be easier, and Rafa could manage the team he's been trying to make for the last 4 years.
Time for a change, and a real change this time.

Response to Chryslers new Fuel Incentive
Daimler Chrysler offered late last week a new incentive that would help buyers of their vehicles out at the pumps. The offer is that Chrysler would cap the price of fuel to new buyers at 2.99/gal for the next 3 years. There is a 12000 mile limit on this, but no matter how high the cost goes on fuel, Chrysler will flip the difference that the customer isn't paying.
Question, with a company that is more then 12 Billion dollars in debt, how can they afford to make the cars they do, hold up reliability standards (whatever they have in that respect) and make a profit? Business is about making the customer happy, but it wont be a business for long if they cannot turn a profit.
My question is, what are North American car companies doing wrong. The import companies such as Honda and Toyota have no problem selling vast amounts of cars, that are reliable and fuel efficient, and they dont have incentives at all. I own a 2006 Civic Si, my interest rate is around 6%, yet its still cheaper to own then any car GM or Chrysler could sell me. When you factor in actual fuel economy, reliability over the life of the vehicle and cost of ownership itself, you still cant beat an import.
There is no question NA companies try and offer incentives. Gas cards, upgrades, low low finance rates, and even engines that use technology such as Flex Fuel. (It doesn't even work anyways) With all these incentives, why do imports out sell almost every class of vehicle? Even if it is more expensive to own?
I put it down to bad management, false promises and the final product being rubbish. I know a guy who bought a Cobalt SS, the performance model similar to my Civic. The thing is trash, been in the shop 8 times in a year and a half. My car has been in once for a recall.
For Chrysler and GM, they need to start sinking their money into a more reliable product. It cant be impossible, their Asian and European counterparts seem to be able to do it with ease. Instead of fuel incentives such as gas cards, build an engine that is efficient. Instead of 40 year warranties, build a vehicle that will last 10 years with no major problems.
Until they stop throwing Hemi's and coolers into cars, it wont happen. But then again, this is why these companies have no pot to piss in.

I put it down to bad management, false promises and the final product being rubbish. I know a guy who bought a Cobalt SS, the performance model similar to my Civic. The thing is trash, been in the shop 8 times in a year and a half. My car has been in once for a recall.
For Chrysler and GM, they need to start sinking their money into a more reliable product. It cant be impossible, their Asian and European counterparts seem to be able to do it with ease. Instead of fuel incentives such as gas cards, build an engine that is efficient. Instead of 40 year warranties, build a vehicle that will last 10 years with no major problems.
Until they stop throwing Hemi's and coolers into cars, it wont happen. But then again, this is why these companies have no pot to piss in.

EPL end of season rant
Congratulations to the scum, once again they rode the Portuguese band wagon for the second straight year to win another title, without him they lose X amount of games and lose 33 premier league goals. Fantastic. Man Yoo then is just weak American coffee in comparison to the triple shot espresso that is Chelski. The rich scum decided that they would use some of there multi million dollar investment to good use this year, instead of whining about officiating and all sorts of other things, they showed that they don't need the special one to do something special. They were in the two pronged dog fight that was the Premier League, and somehow managed to finally beat a team with a 1/4 of the payroll of theirs to get into the CL Final. (a commendable effort) I will contest that Abromivich paid off those officials though, how could he explain his team not playing in his own backyard in that final.
Once again the best team in the premier league finished 4th, of course most will say the best team finishes first, and i guess that makes sense. Somehow they get in mixed up in the premier league and award it to the the team who gets into the pants quickest of the ref officiating their game that week. Fair enough. Sir Alex has a certain charm to him.
Liverpool made the best signing of the summer, and probably the best of the past few years. Torres scored 33 goals in his first year in the England. How many did Sheva, ballack and all the rest of that trash pile score in their first year. My calculations estimate Torres score more combined and then some. He also cost less then one of those players and had over a goal per million spent on him. Sheva has something like 1 goal for every 7 million spent on him. Pathetic.
Gerrard again had another solid year, with many goals, and inspiring performances against Inter Milan and the trumping we gave the Gunners. Pepe Reina again won the Golden Glove award, 3 years on the trot.
Im still not sure what the problem is then, we clearly have the best in all areas of the pitch. Heck, we still even dominated while we were having back room difficulties because of the two rednecks who couldn't determine who owned the crappier North American sports teams.
Other stories that made headlines: Tottenham Suck
In other news, Sven solidified his removal from his post at Man City after the gross performance his team gave against Middlesborough. The thing with Sven is he turned that team into a european contender. (They even beat Man Yoo twice in one season, which hasnt happened since before the time of Moses.) Of course, what can you expect from an owner of a team with this kind of track record:
What other stories made good headlines this year...
Well, Derby county did what everyone expected them to do, SUCK.
How did Reading get relegated? Even more so, how did Bolton and Fulham not?
Overall I guess it was a decent year, as a fan of Liverpool, we improved, and if the Premier league was capped, we would have won a championship, and probably would have last year too. But crap happens in life.
Numbers for cocky Man Gay fans to remember. 18, 5,#8 and #9.
Those are the standards, start working on them.
Next year, i will predict Liverpool, Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal Finish. We are one player shy of winning a title, and we wont have to ride the one trick pony that is Ronaldo. Anyone can be player of the year when your whole team backs off and he doesnt pass and all balls are passed to him and so on a so forth. Did i mention Ronaldo Likes Balls? Anyone can score 40 times when they have that many balls coming his way. Also Tevez wouldn't be half the player he was if defenders could look at him straight. He rolls like a Medusa, stopping people in their tracks with his exceptional looks.
In all seriousness though, this year had a good title race, and showed the strength and class of the premier league sides. 3 in the last 4 of the Champions league, and both pretty much dead locked when it came to playing each other. Lets just hope the best team wins this time

Of course, what can you expect from an owner of a team with this kind of track record:
- his government was frequently challenged with allegations of corruption, dictatorship, demagogy, treason, conflicts of interest, acting undiplomatically, tax evasion, the use of legal loopholes and hostility towards a free press. He was accused of lèse-majesté, selling domestic assets to international investors, and religious desecration. Independent bodies, including Amnesty International, also expressed concern at Thaksin's human rights record. Human Rights Watch described Thaksin as "a human rights abuser of the worst kind", alleging that he participated in media suppression and presided over extrajudicial killings.
