Blaming the Wrong Guy

Ken Bigley was evidently killed, by beheading, in Iraq.  Though the majority of Mr. Bigley’s family seem to believe that the British government did all they could to procure Ken Bigley’s release, Ken’s brother states Tony Blair has "blood on his hands”.

Though I can sympathize with the possibility of this being a remark made in haste and shock at Ken’s death, the brother is blaming the wrong guy.  It’s the damn Islamofascists that should be blamed, not Tony Blair.

“Bigley: Blood on Blair’s hands."

Update on the Canadian Submarine

The other day, I mentioned, with a thank goodness for no deaths, the fire stricken Canadian submarine.  I’ve been following this story, with empathy, as the sub drifted, powerless in the Atlantic.  Though the sub was drifting, as many articles I read noted, wallowing in the sea would be a more apt description due to the unique design of submarines where the majority of the hull is below the surface.

I note this morning, that one crewmember has died as a result of the fire, and another is in critical condition, as mentioned here.

I certainly hope they get that damn thing into port, soon.

It's Tough Being Marginalized, Isn't It Chirac?

"The outspoken French president warned that the world’s different cultures could be “choked” by US values.

This, he said, would lead to a “general world sub-culture” based around the English language, which would be “a real ecological catastrophe".”

The French have brought us good wines, some fine cheeses, and the Statue of Liberty, but, beyond that, nothing but petulant attitudes, a penchant for surrenduring, and a knack for embracing left leaning, Socialist minded blowhards.

“Chirac lashes out against US cultural domination"

Lash away, Chirac, Americans chortle at your posing.
