Stuff of interest to keep up with our political world

1) Ezra Levant says : ....Now, political parties get just over $2 from the public treasury for every vote .they received in the previous election. That means taxpayers have given the federal parties $27 million a year since the Oct. 2008 election

2) Foreign Policy mag has a great article on the extent and intensity of the pressure on Israel by the USA regarding the Palestinian issue, and the conventional story from the MSM that it's Israel who is being bullheaded and is a deterrent to the peace process, whereas the Palestinians, the poor babies..... are the victims as usual. Good one, a must read.

3) James Delingpole on how sick one has to be to blame a tragedy on your opponents and turn it into political capital.... and that too without even knowing who the murderer is or his political leanings happen to be.

4) Nile Gardiner is wondering if Obama " will stand up to the Left’s shameful exploitation of a national tragedy?"

6) If you haven't watched this vid as yet... find the time to do so now. Dennis Miller makes a stand.... a real good one.
