Build it Yourself Newscast! click here for more...

Hello and welcome back! This morning's show was as much fun as I've ever had doing the program. I had this idea some time ago to create for the listener a do-it-yourself morning news broadcast using the new medias available to one and all on the intertubes. Aside from the odd technical glitch it went extremely well and hopefully was as fun for the listener as it was for me. Today's blogging will include those media links as well as to all the important stories of the day I couldn't get to. Change in not good, it's awesome!

Canadian News

Beginning with The Canadian military "subcontracted torture" to the Afghan security service and shot an unarmed 17-year-old man in the back of the head, alleges an Afghan-Canadian who worked as an interpreter for the Canadian armed forces in Afghanistan.  http://bit.ly/9GCQMm And a reminder of Canada's connection with Kandahar's ruthless palace guard http://bit.ly/dk2pbW

To Montreal news and our always reliable racist constabulary http://bit.ly/aHGAcf I make no apologies for all those in the force who do not fit this description. There are far too mmany Montreal police officers who behave in this fashion and get away with it - are protected by the broherhood of the so-called thin blue line. Nothing is ever done about changing this dynamic, no one is ever punished and so I am professionally profiling them as racist!

Thankfully, the conservative Liberal leader, Michael Ignatieff has changed his mind about supporting Quebec's new user fees http://bit.ly/cwOqxB

Build It Yourself

So to begin the do-it-yourself broadcast using the new media, I started with this story whose source was the Southern Povertty Law Center and the video was posted at Crooks and Liars but the original broadcast came from GoLeftTv's Ring of Fire http://bit.ly/aLMzW3 And here's Sarah the lying wolf-killer Palin, pretending not to call Obama anti-American while calling him anti-American http://bit.ly/anzIzi She's so clever!

And there's a story about the police looking for a teaparty leader who made not so veiled threat against hispanics on twitter http://digg.com/d31OS67   And here's CNN host, Rick Sanchez getting the story right  http://bit.ly/bDe3rn Makes me very happy when a member of the MSM calls it like it is.

Over at Media Matters I found the Limbaugh wire and played clips from his show yesterday to illustrate all the ways he lies and demagogues everything Obama does. There is no accomplishment of Obama's he does not seek to denigrate http://bit.ly/9BxSIs In one short day, he manages to call Obama delusional, power hungry, Nero-like and filled with admiration for the Chi-Comms (Rush's ignorant description for the Chinese Comminists)! That's only one day's worth of hate from the over-paid cockroach.

No modern-day news broadcast would be complete without something fro John Stewart and he can be found in Canada over at Comedy Central where they have a great store of his show archives. In this high-larious clip he covers Fox News and their attacks on the poor and the taxes they're not paying!  http://bit.ly/8Zs3LG For background on this read the following  http://bit.ly/bnbqUj 

Here's Keith Olberman interviewing Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman, on Obama's attempts to regulate Wall Street and the Republicans squeals on behalf of their donors http://bit.ly/a0beF4

No video here, just a simple tale of two failed terrorist plots http://bit.ly/d1pgLX Can you spot the difference?

Environmental News

Australia arrests crew of Chinese ship that spilled oil on the Great Barrier Reef http://bit.ly/cDrco7 And a reminder of what the consequences of a bad spill can be, a story about oil from the Exxon-Valdez still being found in Alaskan Ducks http://bit.ly/dwt3oh 

Climate Science deniers will no doubt ignore this story that exonerates, again, the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit. http://bit.ly/9emRha To recap, there is no such thing as climategate except in the febrile imaginations of those spinning madly on behalf of the corporations like Exxon-Mobil. Speaking of which, here's Phill Mickelson helping to greenwash them and their ant-science record  http://bit.ly/bWLVqc 

And because there can never be enough proof that climate change is happening: The warmest Jan - March period on record just happened http://bit.ly/bxQDBY And the melting of a major Canadian Arctic ice sheet is accelerating a new study finds http://bit.ly/d5otsZ 

Finally, a story about the newly mapped Atlantic garbage patch http://bit.ly/9lFHja and Discovery's new show featuring the lying, anti-science, wolf-killer Sarah Palin, bombs! http://huff.to/djL8Tz What in hell were they thinking?

Talk tomorrow!
