- Remember that horrible story about mass graves at residential schools?
A lot of the blogosphere jumped on it rather uncritically. Read this rundown of the history of the guy making the allegations. - Microsoft walks away from Yahoo
No, actually you can't have anything you want. I know people who use Yahoo email and other products breathing a sigh of relief right now. - StatsCan report on equality quantifies what we all know
The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer and the middle class is stagnating. The National Pest has the fits the shits and the blind staggers over these various statements of the obvious, particularly incensed that more isn't being made of the slight uptick of combined family incomes. Of course as Relentlessly Progressive Economics points out, that marginal increase is due to the fact that everyone in the family is working now because single income households are no longer viable. - Ben Stein: Science = Murder
Because there were no pogroms, institutionalized discrimination or mass murder before Darwin wrote his book. When even the National Review thinks you've gone too far on the crazy train that's saying something. - No matter our differences, no matter what we disagree passionately about...
...at least we can all come together around agreeing that Chad Kroeger is a gigantic douche bag with a really, really punchable face. - The trail of crime surrounding the Governor Seigleman persecution
The full list of attacks, burglaries and arsons against anyone threatening the permanent Republican majority in the South is stunning. - Howard Dean calls Fox 'shockingly biased'

That Tyee article is pure lies and slander. I know Annett and have known him since he was 18 years old. He is honest as the day is long. The writer, Glavin, on the other hand is a lying, slanderous hack, noted for writing illogical screeds claiming the peace movement is pro-terrorist. How you could believe and promote such garbage is beyond me. Shame on you!
ReplyDeleteI don't read or believe anything uncritically. Annett's claims are challenged by many people in a position to know. He may be 100% right, although I find his unwillingness to provide verifiable evidence or take specific allegations to the police to investigate troubling.
ReplyDeleteI did not promote or express specific belief in the article linked - I just linked to it. I'll happily link to a response from Annett to it - hopefully one that responds to the article's specific points rather than just rather hysterically attacking it with accusations and demands for shame for raising questions.
