“Wheel of Fortune is now on CBC Television”

They say it like it’s a good thing.

Dear Conservapedia, your stupid is showing: Lying for Jesus

Update (Sept 17, 2008, 7:30 am): Richard Levangie, of AnythingButConservative.com, has alerted me to the fact that the original CBC.ca story [http://www.cbc.ca/news/canadavotes/story/2008/09/16/williams-elections-cnd.html] had an incorrect URL. Premier Danny Williams’ site is at AnythingButConservative.ca, not AnythingButConservative.com.

Vote Anything BUT Conservative — an interesting new site from Progressive Conservative Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams.

Stephen Harper’s actions raise important questions of trust. Of integrity. Of character.

There are other reasons, besides Harper’s credibility, to vote Anything But Conservative, such as their backwards, socially-conservative stance on no-brainer issues like gay marriage, their treatment of MPs like Bill Casey who vote their conscience, or their draconian copyright bill, C-61, but Williams has a clear message.

These Conservatives are certainly not “Progressive” Conservatives. Their agenda is regressive.

And now the Conservatives are seeking a mandate and a majority government to continue to implement an agenda that is not fully revealed.

The real question is whether “anything” will end up splitting the vote on the left, leaving room for Harper to come up with a majority.

Irony. Does it come any richer?

A great site full of useful typographical advice. And not just for lawyers.
