"Hypocrisy?" How do you spell that?

It's outrageous, I tell you (emphasis added):

It’s that the sheer volume of notice and satisfaction that Haditha is getting, even before a single conviction has been made, is out of all proportion ...

By the way, have you heard about this Joe Volpe web page thing? No? Well, you can read about it here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and ...

TIMELY AFTERSNARK: Oh, dear (emphasis added):

Bernard Turcotte, CIRA's President and CEO states "We have no record of any contact between CIRA and Mr. Volpe or his staff. Furthermore, CIRA does not deal with website content. This is and continues to be a guiding principle underlying our operations."

He added that no CIRA staff undertook any actions with respect to youthforvolpe.ca but rather that the Registrar for the domain name requested, via CIRA's automated systems, that the domain name be cancelled, as is allowed under the rules. The registrar advised CIRA that it made this request because its registrant would not provide valid Canadian contact information.

Under CIRA's registrar rules, the registrar had to act once it confirmed it could not obtain valid Canadian contact information from the registrant.

As someone who has registered a number of Canadian domains, I can assure you that the above is absolutely true -- any attempt to register a name in the ".ca" domain space must be accompanied by enough information to verify the "Canadianness" of the requestor. Otherwise, the request is rejected. End of discussion.

Perpare, naturally, for the onslaught of sheepish retractions and apologies from numerous Blogging Tories. Yeah. And I should be getting that phone call from Jessica Alba any minute now. Yessir, any minute now ...
