It must be one of the seven signs of the apocalypse.

A group of strangers came together on a road in north Pickering making extraordinary efforts to save the driver of a pickup truck.

The truck left the roadway and overturned Wednesday night. A small farm pond on Brock Road was the scene of the accident at about 8 p.m.

Police say the truck's driver had been drinking and lost control. The vehicle ended up in the pond, prompting a group of passersby to rush into the cold water.

About 30 people helped flip the pickup onto its side. But the driver could not be found.

So the group, led by two off-duty firefighters, organized a rapid search for the missing man.

"We organized ... an arm-to-arm search," Greg Beatty, a firefighter at the Pickering nuclear power plant, told CTV's Jim Junkin Thursday morning.

The group joined hands and walked forward into the water, searching for the missing driver.

The driver, alas, did not make it. But lets hope the spirit of humanity lasts a while in this self-centered part of the country.

What the world needs now...

- Live below sea level? Move. Live in the desert? Likewise. The Appalachans? People still live there? Why?? It's called "the bus..."

- Africa needs zippers, not condoms. You'd think from last night's show that AIDS magically generates in little children's bodies like mythical maggots. No cause and effect in Africa, apparently. Can no one just control their urges for five minutes?

Common sense: It's the only thing that there's just too little of.

What the hell took them so long to catch on? The mainstream media has always been anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian, and playing the woe-to-the-poor-uprooted-Palestinians violins all the damn time. But now that it looks like one of their own may never return from the clutches of evil in Gaza, the press may have finally cottoned on to the fact that Muslims can't be trusted.

"Up until now there has always been the assumption that there will be protection from the Palestinian authority or from Arabic and Islamic customs on treating guests. Now that trust is gone."

Isn't there a fable that goes something like this?

Pentagon lays new charges against Khadr

The U.S. Defence Department laid new terrorism charges Tuesday against Canadian Omar Khadr, paving the way for a long-delayed military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay.

Khadr, 20, who has been in U.S. military custody since he was 15 years old, is accused of murdering an American medic in Afghanistan in 2002. He also faces charges of attempted murder, conspiracy, spying and providing material support for terrorism.

I hope Canada finally gets the balls to deal with the whole damn Khadr family, instead of letting them live on welfare and give interviews like celebrities. They are not celebrities - they are vile, evil locusts feeding on the jizya we pay.

And a sunburn, which is astonishing, since I think we were only out of the car for about 45 non-consecutive minutes yesterday. My Charming Host(tm) took me on a whirlwind tour of more military installations than you can shake a stick at. It's like traveling with the band to do it this way - all-access backstage pass. I felt like a celebrity. There are zillions of pictures to sort through, and I'll only give you a few here and there. And of course some places were camera-restricted, which I wasn't about to argue with. Especially since yesterday was my unofficial tour. The official one with Public Affairs will be later in the week.

(may I just say that there is a downside to the tropics? as I write this, there are ants crawling all over me. yuck. at least they're harmless. but the roaches... don't get me started on them!)

For the time being, here's some random pics. I'll sort through what I have and do more detailed posts later on.


This is Ray. We met at the hotel fountain. You can see how friendly he is by the way he's waving for the camera.


The enormous flag at Camp Smith, flying half-mast (as were all flags on government property) in honor of those killed at Virginia Tech. Isn't it beautiful? I'm told that at sunset it's truly breathtaking.


On the beach, smiling despite my bloody foot (I had just cut it about 2 minutes earlier).


The famous USS Missouri. I will be touring her - and the Arizona Memorial - on Friday. I just added this pic today because my husband will love it.

The Charming Host(tm) took me to "MarineLand" at Kaneohoe Bay, but the weather was just turning inclement, so there was no eye candy to be had. It appears they don't let the more attractive ones out in the rain. Perhaps they melt or something. Sorry ladies; I'll keep trying.

And the day ended with some fabulous take-out Huli Huli chicken from Waimea.

Miss America 1944 has a talent that likely has never appeared on a beauty pageant stage: She fired a handgun to shoot out a vehicle's tires and stop an intruder.

Venus Ramey, 82, confronted a man on her farm in south-central Kentucky last week after she saw her dog run into a storage building where thieves had previously made off with old farm equipment.

Ramey said the man told her he would leave. "I said, 'Oh, no you won't,' and I shot their tires so they couldn't leave," Ramey said.

She had to balance on her walker as she pulled out a snub-nosed .38-calibre handgun.

"I didn't even think twice. I just went and did it," she said. "If they'd even dared come close to me, they'd be six feet under by now."

I love stories like this. It shows the chutzpah of a certain generation that is simply too rare these days.

While she was Miss America, Venus Ramey sold war bonds and her image was featured on fighter planes. What does the current Miss America do for America these days, anyway? Just wondering....

[Padre] Varga told the mourners. "A war took Patrick; evil in the world took Patrick. God caught him when he fell and now God carries him safely into eternal life."

Pentland died when the light-armoured vehicle he was driving hit a roadside bomb near Kandahar.

Why was it a 77-year-old, and not a 20-year-old?

My father asked, when 14 women were murdered by Marc Lepine at Ecole Polytechnique on December 6, 1989, why so many girls could be shot while the "men" stood by and did nothing.

Yesterday a 77-year-old engineering professor, Liviu Librescu, a Holocaust survivor, blocked a doorway to protect his students. He was shot to death. His manly and able-bodied engineering students hid behind desks and jumped out the window.

Professor Librescu, this is why you survived the Holocaust. This was your purpose, and you fulfilled it admirably. Thank you, and rest in peace.

A PRO-TERROR hate film that urges children to martyr themselves in Islam's war on the West and calls Jews "pigs" has been rated PG by Australia's censors.

Sheik Feiz Mohammed's DVD box set, which also calls for the murder of non-believers, was initially seized by Federal anti-terror police.

But the Office of Film and Literature Classification has ruled that The Death Series is suitable to be bought and watched by children.

Remember kiddies, Muslims are just like us, and we have nothing to fear from them. They are a Religion of Peace.....

The films urge parents to make their children holy warriors and martyrs, and praises jihad as the pinnacle of Islam.

The radical sheik makes snorting noises on the films as he vilifies Jews as the "army of pigs".

He blames a lack of courage for martyrdom on the battlefield for the "humiliation" of Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Guantanamo.

A 2 1/2 -year-old boy was severely burned at the playground of a grade school in Middle River after going down a slide doused in sulfuric acid and landing in a pool of the corrosive liquid.

Something makes me think it was merely a teenage prank, because the liquid was stolen from a supply closet at the school. But even if it was other kids, how have we come from ding-dong-ditch to this? And what comes next?

This is a wonderful statement on supporting the troops. It's more than a sticker on your car (or a lapel pin like mine). It's more than talking the talk.

It means never backing down, never giving up, never quitting. It means taking the time to make a difference in someone's life-after all, did a soldier not make a difference in yours?

It means teaching your children that places like Normandy, Iwo Jima, and Bastogne are sacred, almost holy phrases that encompass all that we are and all that we must remain. It means getting off your chair and doing your part-whether that be reading to a double amputee fresh from the dusty hell of Iraq, packing granola bars into a box to be sent to the front, or just not ignoring those who are ignorant any longer. How many times have we all just sighed and rolled our eyes when we hear "I support the troops but not the war?"

I know that by linking to this post, I will get the freaks commenting how I should take my fat aging body down to the recruiting office and join the war, because of course it's the only way I can truly show support. But those idiots only know straw-men. They don't know about the late-night emails winging back and forth across the globe. The VOIP calls at all hours from Officers who have lost men, and how. The Officers don't tell their wives these horrors. They don't tell their mothers. The idiots can't know about the frantic mothers who contact me to see if I can get word about their sons or their sons' platoons from one of my friends. The idiots will never know what it's like to hear about the losses from those who were there, and to not even be able to tell my husband or my closest friends about it.

So, idiots, may I ask what YOU are doing to support the troops?

A Dutch police station trying to help Muslim detainees face Mecca for their prayers painted arrows in cells pointing in the wrong direction.

The Segbroek police station in The Hague borrowed the idea of putting compass marks on ceilings from an Amsterdam hotel, the Dutch daily De Telegraaf reported on Friday.

Muslims pray five times a day, facing east in the direction of Mecca. But the arrows in Segbroek pointed west.

There are 1 million Muslims in the Netherlands. The overall population is 16 million. One has to wonder just how many of those 1 million Sons of Allah are heading to jail that it necessitates painting arrows in the first place. And while we're asking, let's ask why their going to prison, and then decide if criminals are actually worth such apparently limitless accommodation.

I think it's more than just the arrow painters who have lost their sense of direction.

One of the morons who revels in 9/11 and yet thinks it was perpetrated by the government in a vast Zionist conspiracy is running for office in Vancouver (under the Green banner, of course).

The editorial, entitled, A Revolting Confession, was first published on Nov. 28, 2002 in an alternative newspaper, The Republic of East Vancouver, which Kevin Potvin founded.

"When I saw the first tower cascade down into that enormous plume of dust and paper, there was a little voice inside me that said, 'Yeah!' When the second tower came down the same way, that little voice said, 'Beautiful!' When the visage of the Pentagon appeared on the TV with a gaping and smoking hole in its side, that little voice had nearly taken me over, and I felt an urge to pump my fist in the air," Mr. Potvin wrote in the editorial.

Some degenerate who masturbates to the death of 3,000 Americans wants to represent in Parliament. If this is the direction Canada is taking, we're sicker than I had originally feared.

Two Russian Muslims were arrested for firebombing a Jewish community center and for plotting kidnapping and armed robbery. The Canadian arm of CAIR goes for the amusing and over-used Religion of Peace routine:

Sarah Elgazzar, of the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations, expressed dismay the accused are Muslims and hoped that fact wouldn't increase the animosity between the Jewish and Muslim communities in Montreal.

"Religiously speaking, Jews and Muslims should be so close," she said. "Sure, there are differences, and there are problems in other parts of the world, but that doesn't justify these kinds of attacks.

"Most Muslims would never even think of doing something like that; it’s horrible."

Ok, I know I'm going to get into trouble on all sides with this, but thankfully I'm used to that. I'll try to be delicate, given my own grave feelings on the subject.

Canada should not be televising the Repatriation Ceremonies of our brave dead. It's gruesome, and it's bad for the group morale of the country. Perhaps more Canadians would back our troops if they didn't have to see the parade of flag-draped coffins go by on our official Death TV station, WDED. Oops, I mean CTV.

Every Canadian has the right (almost the obligation) to mourn for those who gave their lives. But there is something truly unsettling about watching the caskets come off the planes. The Americans don't do this. Do the British? I'm not sure, but I don't think so (someone step up if I'm wrong). There is a certain anti-war "I told you so" feeling to these ceremonies, and I think it's inappropriate.

Please, if there are any families of lost soldiers out there who agree or disagree, I would love to hear from you. Maybe it's just me. Or maybe you feel it too. Let me know.

Aside from that insufferable falsetto.

The lakeside Tennessee home of late country music superstar Johnny Cash has been destroyed in a fire.

It burned down on Tuesday while renovations were being carried out for its new owner, Bee Gee Barry Gibb.

The interior of the house, in Hendersonville, Tennessee, was used in the video for Cash's final hit, his 2002 cover of Nine Inch Nails' Hurt.

Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, lived in the house from 1968 until their deaths, months apart, in 2003.

Having lost my own house in the same fashion, this breaks my heart.

What an awesome idea, with hat tip to Halls of Macadamia.

The Royal Canadian Legion has initiated a support program called The RCL Troop Morale Fund.

They hope to raise funds to treat our troops regularly to a coffee and doughnut from the Tim Hortons in Afghanistan. A donation container is set up in the lounge here at Branch 99; loonies, toonies and the folding paper stuff would be most welcome.

...

To get things started, Dominion Command has donated $6,000 to buy the first round of coffee and doughnut certificates and, with the help of legion branches across Canada, they are hoping to be able to do this on a weekly basis.

It is not so much the coffee and doughnut, but the message behind it to the troops, to show them we care. Please help make this program a success by coming in and making your donation at Branch 99. You don't have to be a legion member to donate everyone's money is appreciated.

Ever notice that in addition to not labelling terrorists as terrorists, that our dhimmi media also refers to many towns in the Middle East (except Jerusalem) as "the holy city of..."?

Today I had to trek out to one of the more far-flung areas of Toronto, taking subways and buses till I finally arrived at my destination. As I sat looking out the window of the bus in one particular part of town, I felt the little hairs on the back of my arms stand up in fear and fury. The Slums.

Lest you misunderstand, I'm not afraid of slum people. I'm afraid because I'm one of them. I was born in a part of Montreal that was never prosperous, and grew considerably less so over the decades. I got out. My family and I fled to suburbia, fled from the drafty, damp basement apartments, from the slumlords, from the rats. We worked - all of us - to ensure that we'd never have to go back. I did things beyond the comprehension of most of my middle-class mates, just to secure my place among them. Yet now, when I pass through a slum, a ghetto, my skin crawls, and I can almost hear their dirty streets calling out to me, reaching out to snatch me back into the fold. To bring me down.

I felt so much anger toward the people there. Not the newly arrived immigrants who spoke no English, but the Canadians - black and white - who were born to have the same opportunities as I had. They went to school. They had clean clothes and modest meals on the table. They could have been even more than me - I who blew most of my opportunities, or didn't recognize them at the time. Instead the white boys grew up to be meth heads, and the girls of both colors didn't grow up at all before bringing in the next generation. So it begins all over again. They'll never get out. And we have to wait and see what their children will do with the opportunities they're given.

I, the gutter child, fight every day against what I came from, lest it drag me back. The climb out is a hard one, the slide back can happen in the blink of an eye. I have gained too much, seen too much, accomplished too much, to ever go back. But nothing will ever make me forget.

The Edwardses are still putting the final touches on the property, which they purchased in 2003.

Via LGF:

The corporation has cancelled the commission for a 90-minute drama about Britain's youngest surviving Victoria Cross hero because it feared it would alienate members of the audience opposed to the war in Iraq.

Would those be the same members of the audience who would have rioted has Britain used it's dusty spine to free its sailors instead of humbly accepting them as a "gift"? Would those be the same members of the audience who protest holding signs that say "Behead those who insult Islam"? Because I assure you, it would not be the members of the audience whose fathers and grandfathers fought for Her Majesty themselves. It would not be the average middle-classman who understands that the freedoms they enjoy did not just spring up from a wild mushroom or something.

"The BBC has behaved in a cowardly fashion by pulling the plug on the project altogether," said a source close to the project. "It began to have second thoughts last year as the war in Iraq deteriorated. It felt it couldn't show anything with a degree of positivity about the conflict.

"It needed to tell stories about Iraq which reflected the fact that some members of the audience didn't approve of what was going on. Obviously a story about Johnson Beharry could never do that. You couldn't have a scene where he suddenly turned around and denounced the war because he just wouldn't do that.

"The film is now on hold and it will only make it to the screen if another broadcaster picks it up."

Here's hoping a more patriotic station backs it. The so-called "British" Broadcasting Corporation has no room for the good news out of Iraq. Only the bad.

His latter-day minions are pretty damn cowardly. Think about it. Osama is hiding in a cave on the Pak/Af'stan border. Moqtada al Sadr has been hiding since the surge was announced. Even the "secular" Saddam Hussein was found in a spiderhole, wretched and filthy, not having seen the sun in weeks. These are the people that are leading resistance? How could anyone be foolish enough to follow them and do their bidding?

The orders [to resist the surge] come from a diminished Sadr, who still has yet to poke his head above ground in Iraq since the beginning of the surge. At first, he fled to Iran supposedly to hold strategy meetings with senior Mahdi Army commanders and to consult with his Iranian allies, but most suspected he bugged out before the Americans could seize him and his most loyal followers.

While we're busy arguing over whether or not to racially profile, these guys will be murdering us.

Police in southern Serbia's Sandzak region last month arrested six local Muslims and accused them of belonging to a fundamentalist Wahhabi sect - an austere brand of Sunni Islam promoted by extremists, including the Taliban, Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida fighters.

Recently leaked Western intelligence reports allege that the tense, impoverished area, along with Muslim-dominated regions in neighboring Bosnia, are rich ground for recruiting so-called "white al-Qaida" - Muslims with Western features who could easily blend into European or U.S. cities and carry out attacks.

Al-Qaida and other radical Islamic groups, the reports warn, may be trying to increase their influence in the Muslim-populated regions in the southern Europe to penetrate deeper into the continent.

Many of us have seen this coming for a while. I only hope that the FBI, RCMP, DHS and others have also been tracking it.

I had to shake my head the other day when a colleague was talking about a friend of hers, and how "old world" and "traditional" he was. I asked her if he was Muslim. Her answer?

No, he's Serbian!

Honey, that wasn't what I asked.

I admit, it's easier to keep my eye on the brown men with the beards on the subway platform. It's easier for the cops to do it, too. And while we're doing that, some white Mohammed in a three piece suit is pulling a cord on his briefcase.

We're just not safe anywhere so long as we have Islam, and allow it in our midst.

Always so threatening...

The head of a national, Texas-based pro-family group says a recent hostage drill at a New Jersey high school, which portrayed conservative Christians as terrorists, is reflective of a dangerous philosophy that has become prevalent in many parts of America, where it is having negative effects on education.

A local paper reports that a drill at Burlington Township High School in New Jersey involved police portraying mock gunmen, described as "members of a right-wing fundamentalist group called the 'New Crusaders' who don't believe in the separation of church and state." The fake gunmen were said to have been "seeking justice because the daughter of one [member] had been expelled for praying before class."

Yup, we better prepare for those marauding Crusaders. Because, ya know, they'll go after schoolkids first, instead of - oh, I dunno - Muslim Jihadis. What a bunch of PC horseshit. If they wanted to stage a "terror" drill, why didn't they use what's in the news every day? Or is that too real and politically incorrect?
