Carolyn Parrish Pool

I think that we should start a pool on when doll-stompin’ Carolyn Parrish will be accepted back into the Liberal Party. She needs the Liberal brand to get re-elected, yet Paul Martin doesn’t particularly need her as she still votes Liberal party-line anyways. Depending on the polls, Martin could need her Mississauga seat to maintain minority status. So, we could see Parrish back in caucus soon enough.

However, the following comments do not particularly help her cause especially as the Liberal government tries to at least appear as if it is going to address terrorism.

Concerning General Rick Hillier’s comments that terrorists are “scumbags” and that the job of the Canadian Forces is to “kill people”, Parrish called Hiller a “dangerous … testosterone-filled general”

I don’t know about you, but I am particularly pleased that the General of our Canadian Armed Forces has the testicular fortitude to face terrorism head-on.

Parrish can stomp on dolls for all I care, but when she stomps on our military for expressing their desire to fulfill their mandate, I imagine that I’m not alone among Canadians who would rather see Parrish relegated to the Parliamentary sandbox.

BT ANNOUNCE: Blogging Tories Mobile now online

Today I was tinkering with the Blogging Tories code and thought I’d try to make a WAP-enabled Blogging Tories website. What is WAP you might say? WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol and it allows cellphones and PDAs to access online content. Most websites use the prefix wap to denote a wireless website (such as wap.tribute.ca for Canadian movie listings).

Instead, I integrated some code that allows the end-user to merely type in “bloggingtories.ca” into their cell phone browser and the website will detect whether or not the browser is on a computer or on a cell phone.

So, whether or not you’re using Firefox, Internet Explorer, or your internet enabled cellphone, point your browser to “http://bloggingtories.ca” and get the latest content from the Canadian conservative blogosphere!

It’s still in “beta”, so let me know how it works for you in the comments.
