Biblio Bibuli

Steyn should get the Pulitzer for that line alone. It's beautiful.

How do you like it?

If anything it AVOIDS problems. For the Sikh kids anyway, because NO kid is stupid enough to pick on a kid who's got a knife hanging off of his waist when there are plenty of kids to pick on who don't.

How did they scrape all that money together? Or is that how they earned the moniker ... "The Cancelled Czechs"?

If the insurance bureau wanted to reduce accidents period, they would make it as hard to get a driver's licence in Canada as it is in Europe. Our casualties in Afghanistan would be much much lower too.

Until our system does progress, Canadian doctors should be required to point out to their patients the superior treatments that are available elswhere. Growing up in a Communist country during the sixties, the medical profession there was outdated compared to the West. But if you got diagnosed with a serious illness which the Communists decided (due to high costs) not to treat (as Canada is doing at present) a doctor there ALWAYS had at his fingertips the addresses of places (mainly in Switzerland) who could help. All one needed to do was to scrape the money together, and the Communists had you in Bern or Zurich in a heartbeat. If Canada is going to be a socialist regime (which it is, IMO) they have to at least add the humane touch to the mixture.

You must realize that the anti-cancer record of most government-run systems is pretty damn dismal. As Michael Tanner says: "Because cancer is a slow moving and expensive disease to treat, it is not cost-effective under socialized medicine to treat the disease too aggressively. This saves governments money but at a high human cost." So I wouldn't blame her family doctor, he/she/it probably just followed government protocol. My own doctor told me after I (being a smoking feen for 30 years) had a private CT scan done on my carcinogen infested lungs .......... "We are not supose to look at those results, BB, because many times there is a culprit found that should be investigated further by use of a PET scan or other expensive procedures. And Medicare frowns on that." He said that ..... I swear! Good luck with your malpractice suit, all the same!

Oh boy ... I can't wait !!! I'm a very sick man, you know. Hypochondria is probably the ONLY disease that I haven't got.

I think it's becoming a fad among the Liberals right across Canada. Swelled head syndrome? What causes it, water on the brain? http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/sto...0d46bed&k=89155 Excerpt: "Liberal leadership hopefuls testing the waters in B.C. Published: Sunday, March 05, 2006 Vancouver was the priority destination yesterday for some Liberals who want to replace Paul Martin as party leader. Vancouver-Centre MP Hedy Fry has already said she is considering a leadership bid. But Joe Volpe, Stephane Dion and Carolyn Bennett were in the corridors of a hotel yesterday, meeting B.C. Liberals from across the province. B.C. party president Jamie Elmhirst said Liberals welcomed the courting. Yesterday's B.C. meeting clashed with the annual meeting of Nova Scotia Liberals in Halifax, which drew several possible leadership contenders."

I only have issue with people getting extra treatment based on their money. There are just too many cases in Canada where patients were cured in the U.S. after being cavalierly told by Canadian specialists to just basicaly FOAD! And ALL those lucky people had one thing in common ... they ALL had enough money saved up to pay for an American cure. There are many ordinary people, especially older ones, who have savings or assets of hundreds of thousands, and they would GLADLY pay that money to postpone the inevitable. But if they trust their lying sonofabich doctor who tells tham that there is no cure just to save Medicare big bucks, they DO "go home and die". So sad.

This girl would be dead today if it weren'tt for Ralph Klein's Alberta who took her out of the BC grim reaper's hands. http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/story.h...68-96170c74a47d MANY Canadians from other provinces would also have been dead today had they listened to their Canadian doctor's instructions ... "GO HOME AND DIE!" ... instead of playing it smart by getting a second opinion in the U.S.. None from Ralph's province, as far as I know. Michael Tanner from Washington's Cato Institute hit the nail on the head when he said, and I quote (paraphrase): "Because many diseases are expensive to treat, it is not cost-effective under socialized medicine to treat them. This saves governments money but at a high human cost." Did you know that in the US only about one in five men with prostate cancer will die from it? As opposed to over half of Brits and nearly half of Germans and Frenchmen who will. If I told you how Canuck men fare you'd probably throw up, so I won't. VIVE RALPH KLEIN !!!

With all of the strenuous sports you told us you do (lugeing, skeleton, mountain climbing, giant slalom etc.), your whole body must be a lethal weapon.

I misread the above at first and now I cannot get out of my head the crack that Stephen Harper made at Dalton just the other day. Said he: "And, you know, I'm no doctor, but I think that Mr. McGuinty's got a case of premature speculation."

You'll have to tell me where you found those people not blaming people of European descent. Just got up from a nice trip to the Land of Nod, did you? look around you. by common knowledge: IMPERIALIST AMERICA and its friend are to blame for terrorism...haven't you heard? I'm aware of that. My point was that I had no idea where you found those people NOT doing that.

You'll have to tell me where you found those people not blaming people of European descent. Just got up from a nice trip to the Land of Nod, did you?

No ... we're one hell of a lot worse because we've lost our will to survive. That's way below the will to conquer.

Can you provide a reference to this claim? Why should he? Wouldn't YOU use it if you .... say ... feared for you life?

No one will. I don't think every Muslim has the capacity for violence (chickens & the squeamish know no religion), but it seems almost too obvious that just about every Muslim is happier than hell to see someone sticking it to "whitey"... to quote that great civil rights activist Malcolm X. (I was shocked to discover that Canadian schools are teaching that Malcolm X is a hero ... when I remeber his "kill whitey" rants ... but I digress). They see a chance to be the man on the stronger horse (to quote our second valued human rights crusader ... Osama) and they love it. Why not ... who doesn't? But we're the fools for pretending it is not so.

Re the Jews ... the Ashkenazi are white , the Sephardic not. We won't even go into the African, Indian or Chinese Jews... Slavic-Germans swarthy??? Obviously you've never seen a Slav or a German ... they're fair stock. Those that aren't are due to past intermarraige outside the Slavic-German bloodlines (god this sounds like the Westminster Dog Show). But fear not, your cracker credentials are intact ... I think they cross racial lines.

It very well may be that they weren't part of an offensive batallion. The fact that these attacks always happen on this "busy stretch of highway that has become a dreaded danger zone" tells me that Canadian soldiers have no intention of ever mixing it up with these terrorists. Otherwise they would send that "offensive battalion" there already, no? Boy, wouldn't it be something if it was Osama himself who was scaring the Canadian soldiers on that busy stretch? If it were I wouldn't blame our soldiers because I would also be high-tailing through there myself. That guy is a nutbar!

Just to let you know, Greyhound, the trucks in Washington State are STILL required to go 10 miles per hour slower than general trafic. And it's STILL working like a charm. Congrats!

BINGO !!!

Even when the baby is kicking and is just about ready to come out, a good Canadian doctor is able, if he/she is willing, to squash it's ugly head just before it sticks it out of the womb and .... VOILA .... it's called abortion. At least that's the way I see it, after reading the article below. http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/ed...4d-5d5290756131 excerpt: "Abortion-on-demand is said to be either a fundamental Charter right or a massive violation of the fundamental right to life. Those are the "neat polar extremes" Mr. Harper describes. It would appear that a moderate position would be somewhere in between. Except in Canada. Our public policy -- no restriction on taxpayer-funded abortion at any time during gestation -- is unmatched by any other democracy. Save for Chinese-style mandatory abortions, it would not be possible for Canada to be more extreme in its abortion license. So extreme in fact that even our polar neighbours, Sweden and Norway, would blanch at our permissiveness. Both countries prohibit abortion in most cases after 18 weeks gestation. In Britain, it is 24 weeks. In Italy, 13 weeks. In France, Germany and Belgium it is 12 weeks. Only the United States matches our abortion-on-demand policy. Even so, Americans have parental notification statutes, a prohibition on federal funding and a federal ban on partial-birth abortion -- soon to be under review by the Supreme Court. The moderate Canadian position is, in fact, American-style absolutism taken to the extreme." Shame on Harper for telling MacLean's this week that he has "no intention of getting into the abortion issue."!!! Shame on both countries ... Canada & America!!!

You're off your nut. You must be right. Islam's intention is NOT to spread and conquer infidels. And spread it will if the white infidels keep insisting on supplying them with money so that they can have 22 kids.

Ok ok, so I plagiarized it. And screwed it up in the process. I'M SORRY!!! Here's the original: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_...19/ai_n11885604 Or perhaps that's plagiarized too, because in my book of Humorous Quotations it's said even better. There the General says ... GENERAL : Isn't it a little fast, Korngold? The men can't march to that. KORNGOLD: Ah yes, well, you see Sir, this was composed for the retreat!
