World magazine's weblog
The "worldmagblog" for the US Christian conservative newsmagazine can be found right here.
I wonder if the blog's webmaster is of German heritage with contractions like "Worldmagblog"? It's home of "Der Worldmagblogposts" and "Der kommentvonderworldmagblogposts", perhaps?
Teasing aside, well worth your time to look at it.

Not a test
Michael Jenkinson writes that they used a Canadian version of the Emergency Broadcast System during a recent nasty storm in Alberta.
I wonder what M.J., a wrestling boffin, thought of Chyna's autobiography, which I am reading as a light reading break. (I (I buy wrestler bios when they are very very cheap. I liked Mick Foley's first book best.)
More seriously, here's a quote from a recent post of Michael's:
UPDATE: August 12, 8:36 a.m. On a wing and a prayer
I know there are a lot of good Christian bloggers out there, so any of them that stop by here can pray for a dear friend of mine who is battling cancer. Much thanks.

G.I. Schmo
It turns out that another prominent American, G.I. Joe, has been fibbing about his military record.

"This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. This is only a test."
Doooooooooot! [High pitched squeal]
"This has been a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. Had this been an actual emergency...."
Does the EBS still exist?
(I watched too much US TV as a kid. I miss Conelrad....)
We now resume your regular weblog programming.

Where is Spy Magazine when you need it?
Am I wrong in wondering why one never sees
Canadian politician David Anderson and chess champ Bobby Fischer in the same place at the same time?
Probably. :)

Feet of clay
It hasn't been updated in a few years, but the Bob Larson Fan Club homepage reports some interesting information on the U.S. vangelist and expert on demons and exorcisms. Reader beware, I would advise, but interesting.

Mr. Buckley's failure
Former National Review editor Joe Sobran muses that William F. Buckley actaully failed in his life ambitions.
I'm not a paleoconservative as Mr. Sobran is. Nevertheless, as someone who read Up From Liberalism in my teens, I would also have a hard time believing that someone who forecfully wrote that Dwight Eisenhower was too liberal would be happy with the policies that sometimes pass as conservative today.

Only his hairdresser knows for sure
A grooming aids company survey has learned that Americans seem to think that George H.W. Bush has the most presidential hair.

The "saving some of the kids from the burning school bus" school of pro-life activism
Peter Vere fresh from meeting Kathy Shaidle, shares his frustration with the absolutist stance of some Canadian pro-life leaders.
P.S. Working about 60 hrs per week this month. So. Tired zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The lady who kneecapped the Tories
You will, no doubt, recall the "controversial" Randy White remarks at the end of the last election.
Well, it turns out that a lady named Velma Cole is responsible for getting the Liberals information about the upcoming documentary and how they could contact its maker. The Liberals took it and ran with it and Ontario voters panicked like frightened sheep.
However, there is a "rest of the story."
Ms. Cole has a grudge against Mr. White. She wrote to a local paper that at a Tory nomination meeting in February, Mr. White said that a new Tory government would ban gay marriage and *all* abortions.
In response, many people who were at the meeting wrote letters to the local press saying that no, Mr. White didn't say anything like that.
The Langley Times reports that Ms. Cole then decided to clear her name, or as I would personally put it, take a piece out of Mr. White's carcass. She is quoted as saying "I was not prepared to go to my grave with liar written on my tombstone.".
But, strangely, the Times is unable to pull direct quotes from the documentary video footage promising a total ban on gay marriage and abortion under a new Tory goverment. Which, sadly, does not give me great confidence in Ms. Cole's memory.
P.S. For what it's worth, Mr. White now says that the Tories did not expect to get much more seats than they did on election night, but had to publicly pretend otherwise.

There goes the separation of church and state
The B.C. government is giving $5,000 to a Langley church for one of their programs.
It gets under their radar because it was pitched to the B.C. Liberals as an "anti-crime" program. If it happens to evangelize too, well...don't let the government know!

Mr. Martin's favourite book
Remember our discussion of the most loved songs of Canadian politicians, especially our skepticism that their choices were really true?
Well John Derbyshire of National Review, learning that Paul Martin's favourite book is Flashman and The Dragon, wonders if Mr. Martin was told by his advisors to like this book. He's suspicious too.
