It's pretty bad when IRAQ is more supportive of military action against Iran than the US, let alone Europe.

Easier and cheaper to run a push poll and analyze it than to do any real reporting. Same old same old for quite a few years now.

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING
Guess the media is just casting their net wider to get the poll results they want.

I just spent about 20 minutes at SDA and found it an enjoyable read. i bookmarked it for later reference.
Thanks
Is the other link as good?

Is the other link as good?Not quite, imo, but excellent, nonetheless. SMA is truly outstanding. Another Canadian blog well worth reading, particularly on native issues is www.dustmybroom.com

the janke link didn't keep me very long, I'll try the one you sent. I'm not all that into CAN politics but from time to time I get fascinated.

thanks for the link, i'm going there now...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. AGWN is not everyone's cup of tea. I tend to write longer pieces, with a lot more sidebars to supporting information, while SDA is more focused and to the point. I like to think of it in terms of having complementary styles. What really matters is that people can come to discuss and debate. If I can highlight a story that maybe the big media guys have not been paying much attention to, then I'm happy.
Cheers guys!

Tanks for da ping! I note they sampled folks in Nigeria. Wonder how many letters they are getting.....
"...as I am his first duaghter and he so much loved me that was why he made me the beneficiary of the two iron trunk boxes containing the $18.5mUSD.
Right now I wish to transfer this fund to you so that you will assist me to invest the money into any viable sector in your country, also you will help me to join you in your country for me to start up a new life with you there immediately the fund gets to you. since I am no longer safe as far as Africa is concern at the moment, I wanted to transfer the fund before leaving the country because this fund is my last hope and the only hope I have now.

Actually, you could do worse than to go the Blogging Tories
www.bloggingtories.ca It is the premier site from which you can reach just about every Canadian conservative blog, big and small. It's not just a link farm, either. A real-time feed, the Brookstreet Blog of conservative luminaries, videos and podcasts -- it has it all.

Is the other link as good?Absolutely- Steve is an engineer ( I think! ) by training, but he is a very concise, talented writer as well. Admittedly, since it's Canadian a lot of the politics flys over my head, but he writes about things their press doesn't like to cover.

I knew Steve was a FReeper, but he's never asked to be added to the Canada ping list....'Sob, sniff'.
*Fanfan wiping tears from her eyes*
Steve, I forget your locale, are you able to attend the support the troops rally in Ottawa tomorrow?
