CBC's Sour Grapes

The Globe and Mail reported this morning that CBC and Don Cherry will be severing ties at the end of this season's Stanley Cup playoffs -- after a 23 year relationship. CBC's executives apparently are fed up with Cherry's politically incorrect statements on air -- and there are people on opposite sides of the fence of the issue. My opinion -- cause I'm allowed to have a friggin' opinion on my site -- there goes another bite into free speech as the media sanitizes what is fed to the nation. If every offended whiner has their day, there won't be much left -- every public figure will have a gag placed on them. While I don't always agree with Cherry, the likes of him and Lastman are the kinds of people that say what lots of people think, but are afraid to say. Opinions matter -- and Cherry's style without the pretense is refreshing. What will be have left? The lame-ass commentators they now have on the CBC or TSN? Yep. At least Cherry was entertaining, Canadian and hockey fan. What's next? Censoring This Hour Has 22 Minutes or the Air Farce? Now there's one less reason to watch the CBC.

Civil disobedience is called for

In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
