Well, stop the fucking presses!


Blogging Tory and enthusiastically obedient Conservative Party sock puppet Sandy Crux is all about the hero worship:

One hopes that all mainstream media outlets in Canada have the courtesy to tell the Canadian public what happened today, that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has made us all proud by receiving a major international human rights award.

Called the “B’nai Brith International President’s Gold Medallion” it represents the conservative government’s efforts to fight discrimination and uphold human rights in Canada and around the world.

Yes, Sandy, that is big news ... grown-ups awarding each other sparkly little trinkets as if they were somehow significant and actually meant something. After all, in the world of handing out bright shiny baubles and wondering if those people truly deserve them, what could possibly go wrong?

I'm sure Guantanamo detainee and Canadian citizen Omar Khadr is suitably proud of Stephen's commitment to human rights. Someone be sure to mention this to him.

I think that Tommy Franks should have the medal just for calling Douglas Feith "the stupidest f*cking man on the planet". THAT is worth a medal.
