Colbert is funny as always, but the original assumption made in the commercial he cited is based on every single American having an equal carbon footprint, which is really really dumb. So the old lady down the street that doesn’t even have a car has the same carbon footprint as the guy who commutes to work in a Dualie pickup truck or a millionaire who flies in a private plane around the world. Yep, everyone is the same.

I’d guess an average low income immigrant would be far below the average for carbon footprint. So new immigrants probably bring the average down.

Fischer to Romney: ‘You Want to Win this Election, You Better Start Listening to Me’

What are the odds that we’d see a response headline of:

“Romney to Fischer: Get Stuffed!”?

Look who is a member of the CAPS advisory board.

Victor Fucking Davis Hanson.

Or is that Victor Davis Fucking Hanson?

Please, oh please, Mitt, listen to that twisted old coot Fischer; it’d be the best gift the Democrats (and America) could ever receive this election year.

Also, note the delicious irony of a theocrat like Fischer, instructing His Mittness to talk and act like he does if he wants to win, while standing in front of a graphic of the Constitution.

You can’t buy cognitive dissonance like that…

How Canadian Conservatives differ from American Conservatives..

By Meagan Fitzpatrick, CBC News

Prime Minister Stephen Harper will not support a motion from one of his own MPs that calls for a committee to be set up to study when life begins, he said Thursday, ahead of a debate on the motion.

Harper was asked during question period by NDP Leader Tom Mulcair why he is allowing Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth and other members of his caucus to reopen the debate on abortion.

The prime minister said party leaders do not have control over the motions introduced by MPs and that it’s “unfortunate” an all-party committee decided the motion is eligible for a vote.

“In my case, I will be voting against the motion,” Harper said.

Woodworth’s motion isn’t binding, and won’t come to a vote on Thursday. It is up for one hour of debate beginning around 5:30 and then drops to the bottom on the order of precedence, and gets another hour of debate when it returns to the top of the list.

The House will vote on the motion the Wednesday following its next hour of debate, which Woodworth expects will be in June or September.

Woodworth says that according to current Canadian law, human life begins when a child has fully emerged from the mother’s birth canal, which is based on a 400-year-old definition imported from Britain. He originally said when he announced his intention to introduce the motion that he is simply interested in updating the law to agree with 21st-century medicine.

But speaking to Radio-Canada on Monday, he acknowledged his motion is linked to abortion. “It certainly allows us to have an honest discussion about the abortion question. How can we honestly discuss all of the complicated issues around abortion if we cannot decide whether or not a child is a human being before the moment of the complete birth?” Woodworth said.

The NDP’s women’s issues critic, Niki Ashton, asked Harper if Woodworth’s motion was part of his “real agenda” for women in Canada. “When will the Conservatives stop rolling the clock back on Canadian women’s rights?” said Ashton.

Conservative House leader Peter Van Loan said Harper has made it clear he will not reopen the abortion debate.

None. He’s gonna pander all the way to Election Day, it’s the only means of campaigning he knows how to do. Really, he could call a press conference tomorrow and declare to the GOP “I don’t have to put up with the shit of the lunatics in this party anymore, because I’m all you got!,” and the party would be left making excuses for why he’s right.

True. It might actually help his chances. He isn’t going to win the center catering to the right and you can’t get elected without winning the middle.

So, with the way the vote turned out in the Senate, can Democrats state that republicans support violence against women? I think this is a valid talking point.

If His Mittness does heed Fischer and (predictably) fails in the general, the sage words of Otter from Animal House comes to mind:

[…] You can’t spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You fucked up… you trusted us! Hey, make the best of it!

We’ve already heard the excuse, we’ll just hear it more for the next week. You know, the one that goes “If they put a ‘clean bill’ on the table, the GOP would gladly pass it!”

re: #22 Targetpractice

I say use this vote as a weapon. In addition, this sort of rhetoric needs to be adopted by moderates everywhere to push back against radicals.

Another example: Salafi MPs in Egypt want to eliminate the Age of Consent.Time to paint the Salafis as Pedophiles. Push back against them, ostracize them.

However, in the past couple of months, some Salafist MPs argued that there should be no minimum age for marriage for both sexes, explaining that in Islamic Sharia, an age for marriage is not specified. They also argue that not defining an age for marriage can help stem the prevalence of vice and eliminate spinsterhood.

Grind the extremists into the ground.

Oh, it’s likely going to be brought up as a weapon, but like I said, the excuse is already in play. The GOP’s gonna play this up as the DNC purposefully poisoning the vote so that the subsequent failure to pass is used against them, that they’re all in support of renewing the Act, but they’re not going to allow the Democrats to use it to pass “their agenda.”
