The yellowcake episode that Keith references is not the same one I referred to. It is clearly established that there were forged documents purporting to show that Sadam bought the ore from Niger. Bush used these documents to show that Sadam had WMD even though he'd been advised they were not reliable. Ambassador Wilson, Valerie Plame's husband, published a paper documenting their falseness. As a consequence, her identity as a CIA agent was outed by an official from Dick Cheney's office. That official was indicted and convicted. Colin Powell himself said he regrets his UN speech.

Good afternoon King. Hope you are enjoying a lovely fall afternoon as we are here in Port Hope.

"Harper did not represent the values of the Conservative Party of Canada" in just the same way that Chretien, Mulroney and Trudeau Sr did not represent the values of their parties at the end. No one does! That's why after 10 years everyone is past their best before date.

It's the nature of your "punk's game". That is why you call it that. It's corruptive to all regardless of party affiliation. And it's your suggestion that Harper is somehow unique that I am saying is hypocritical.....and incorrect.

But you knew that too!

Your observation of the game is same as mine except for the last sentence. As a proponent and expander of the term punk's game, the last thing on my mind was to suggest Harper was unique.


Good day here, too, and nice to know your weather is coming our way. Flying yesterday saw 200-plus blacks behind the saltwater beach not a kilometre from the house. No one's bothering them this early, too many pinfeathers.

When the corn's off the fields in a couple weeks or so, they'll be fat and firm and prime eating. Without Jake I've switched to my smaller aluminum skiff with Honda 2 four-stroke, light and easy to drag and launch anywhere.

I bought the light 12-foot Springbok at the Ex Sportsmen's Show in 1965 and a Princecraft same length almost twice the size after capsize five years ago. I'm only half there without Jake but can't live without feathers.

Who was that "official" who was indicted and convicted for outing Plame?

We had a 12' Springbok from about 1964 on. Spent a lot of time in that boat!

Endorsing Obama over what was on offer is hardly weakness of judgement and character, Craig. The US did it twice. Administrators generally follow orders or resign. From all accounts General Powell was an honourable man. There's still doubt of how much he knew of the misinformation. Kennedy called Stevenson his official liar. Marine Lt-Col Ollie North confessed lying to Congress to cover-up Reagan's arms deal to Iran. Lying is integral to politics.

The man from Cheney's office who took the fall for outing Valerie Plame was Scooter Libby.

Scooter Libby was convicted of lying to investigators.

Once your culture starts diversifying in a downward spiral, I'm afraid there is little hope. Be proud that NS now resembles downtown chicago, by some accounts, a city bursting with character. Oh well.

But, at least you haven't lost your sense of humor, humour for you. Are you trying to tell me that everyone in misfires, regardless of political leaning, knows the minutest details about the great lie, but powell didn't? Yuck, yuck, yuck! If I told you I woke this morning feeling like I was black, would you tell Bill I'm a dem operative, and I'm starting a ground game to get libs to vote for Cruz so that we get sanders in at 38%?

No, I'm not trying to tell everyone in Misfires that they knew more about Powell's misinformation to the UN than Powell himself. He was ordered to deliver it, later regretted it and there's nothing on the public record I'm aware of that revealed how much, if any, he knew to be false. Do you?
