Il reste que lorsqu'on est inconditionnellement fédéraliste, on a quand même le droit de tirer sur la cible qui reste de mise: les symboles propre à la monarchie que demeure encore et toujours le Canada. Ça donne des choses amusantes:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070613/CPOPINIONS05/706130620/6730/CPACTUALITES">Dubuc aujourd'hui</a>: <br /><br /><blockquote>Le lieutenant-gouverneur d'une province ne sert à rien. Son rôle est purement protocolaire. C'est un personnage public qui coupe des rubans, qui sanctionne des lois et signe des décrets, au nom de vieilles traditions, et qui ne détient aucun pouvoir.<br /><br />[...]<br /><br />Sur des subventions fédérales de 1,7 million en 10 ans reçues par l'ex-lieutenant-gouverneur, 700 000$ ne semblent pas être liés à sa fonction. <span style="font-weight:bold;">C'est pas mal d'argent</span>. Elle semble avoir considéré comme de la rémunération ce qui était des subventions pour ses activités professionnelles. Elle a également confondu, de façon systématique, sa vie publique et sa vie personnelle. Et c'est ainsi que les contribuables ont payé pour des fêtes de famille, des restos, des vacances de ski, des excursions de pêche ou des parties de golf.</blockquote><br /><br />Scandale!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070530/CPOPINIONS/705300699/6753/CPOPINIONS05">Dubuc il y a 2 semaines</a>:<br /><blockquote><br />Combien vaut un Québécois? Combien faut-il d'argent pour acheter son vote ou le faire changer d'idée sur l'avenir de sa patrie à coup de messages publicitaires? Eh bien, le juge à la retraite Bernard Grenier, qui a remis hier son rapport tant attendu sur les dépenses illégales des forces fédérales lors du référendum de 1995, nous donne la réponse. C'est 12 cennes et demie!<br /><br /><br />Le juge Grenier, après une analyse minutieuse, facture par facture, a identifié des dépenses de 11,6 millions de deux organismes financés par Ottawa, le Conseil de l'unité canadienne et de sa filiale politique, Option Canada. De ce total, il n'a pas 3,5 millions en dépenses illégales, mais plutôt 539460$, qui n'a pas, comme le voulait la loi québécoise, été comptabilisé dans les dépenses du camp du NON.<br /><br />[...]<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">C'est pas cher payé.</span><br /><br />Le gros de ces dépenses illégales se retrouve dans deux postes: des bénévoles prêtés au camp du NON qui étaient rémunérés indirectement, et des dépenses de sondages qui n'ont pas été comptabilisés. Des gestes répréhensibles ont donc été commis par des dirigeants de ces organismes. Un demi-million de dépenses illégales, c'est trop. C'est à condamner. Mais ce n'est pas avec un demi-million qu'on vole un référendum.</blockquote><br /><br />Pétard mouillé!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17451579-6172932191196905616?l=akratique.blogspot.com'/></div>L'Akratiquenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17451579.post-70678139414185860652007-06-12T07:47:00.000-05:002007-06-12T07:50:37.388-05:00Les albanais aiment GWBIls l'adorent, pour des raisons <a href="http://tv.repubblica.it/home_page.php?playmode=player&cont_id=10785&fromplayer=10785&stream=video&showtab=Copertina">délicieusement révélatrices</a>.

Bien sûr, il se trouve encore des gens pour dire que les québécois sont plus fins/gentils/tolérants que les américains, mais personnellement, je n'en crois plus un seul mot (et ce, même si les résultats pourraient différer). Bien sûr, il s'agit sans doute d'une mesure de l'acceptabilité sociale de l'intolérance des répondants de tel ou tel groupe (i.e. par ex. je dis que je voterais pour une femme parce je ne voudrais pas que les autres sachent que je ferais plutôt le contraire).

For the functions that people use most often, the 1986 vintage Mac Plus beats the 2007 AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+: 9 tests to 8! Out of the 17 tests, the antique Mac won 53% of the time! Including a jaw-dropping 52 second whipping of the AMD from the time the Power button is pushed to the time the Desktop is up and useable.<br /><br />We also didn't want to overly embarrass the AMD by comparing the time it takes to install the OS vs. the old Mac. The Mac's average of about a minute is dwarfed by the approximately one hour install time of Windows XP Pro.<br /><br />Is this to say that the Mac Plus is a better computer than the AMD? Of course not. The technological advancements of 21 years have placed modern PCs in a completely different league of varied capacities. But the "User Experience" has not changed much in two decades. Due to bloated code that has to incorporate hundreds of functions that average users don't even know exist, let alone ever utilize, the software companies have weighed down our PCs to effectively neutralize their vast speed advantages. When we compare strictly common, everyday, basic user tasks between the Mac Plus and the AMD we find remarkable similarities in overall speed, thus it can be stated that for the majority of simple office uses, the massive advances in technology in the past two decades have brought zero advance in productivity.<br /><br />And that's just plain crazy. </blockquote><br /><br />Via <a href="http://slashdot.org/">/.</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17451579-5529418548084366140?l=akratique.blogspot.com'/></div>L'Akratiquenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17451579.post-48830934437798575022007-05-30T08:41:00.000-05:002007-05-30T08:42:29.074-05:00News from the frontVia <a href="http://waynemadsenreport.com/">Wayne Madsen</a>:<br /><br /><blockquote>May 29, 2007 -- North Carolina Republican Rep.

Jones says Wolfowitz should be sent to Iraq to be mayor of Baghdad since Wolfowitz and "the neo-cons" are responsible for the Iraq quagmire.<br /><br />If the White House agrees to Jones' idea, Wolfowitz will have to be issued with adult undergarments. Wolfowitz was staying at Baghdad's Al Rashid Hotel on October 26, 2003 when insurgents launched a rocket at the hotel. A U.S. Army Colonel was killed in the 6:10 am attack and 15 other people were injured, including 11 Americans and one Briton.<br /><br />A British journalist contacted this editor after the attack and said he witnessed Wolfowitz, shaken and in tears, running through the hotel lobby in his underpants with a blanket thrown over his head.

Ils doivent impérativement éviter d'utiliser, à l'endroit des personnes ou des groupes, des représentations ou des termes qui tendent à soulever la haine et le mépris, à encourager la violence ou encore à heurter la dignité d'une personne ou d'une catégorie de personnes en raison d'un motif discriminatoire.<br /><br />Il n'est pas interdit aux médias de faire état des caractéristiques qui différencient les personnes ou les groupes. Cependant, cette mention doit être pertinente et d'intérêt public, ou être une condition essentielle à la compréhension et à la cohérence de l'information.<br /><br />En tout temps, et en toute situation, les reporters, commentateurs et éditorialistes doivent s'obliger aux plus hauts standards professionnels en cette matière.</blockquote><br /><br />Je vais consulter un avocat, juste pour rire. Si vous avez une réponse au problème, ne vous gênez pas.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17451579-2253178566758517507?l=akratique.blogspot.com'/></div>L'Akratiquenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17451579.post-88097095027101667472007-05-16T06:45:00.000-05:002007-05-16T06:47:14.748-05:00Hitchens vs HannityJ'avoue que Chris Hitchens me casse les couilles habituellement, mais là, c'est Sean Hannity qui fait pitié à voir.<br /><br /><object width="400" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0Sq-aMXHeCg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0Sq-aMXHeCg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="400" height="350"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17451579-8809709502710166747?l=akratique.blogspot.com'/></div>L'Akratiquenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17451579.post-39115435003040094572007-05-15T07:59:00.000-05:002007-05-15T08:04:23.854-05:00Chroniques de la propagande ordinaireJ'ignore si vous avez vu ce video qui traîne sur Youtube depuis un certain temps.<br /><br /><object height="350" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/l-vV3TYyilU"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/l-vV3TYyilU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="400"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://angryarab.blogspot.com/2007/05/lies-of-memri-yet-again.html">L'Arabe en colère</a> propose une traduction un peu plus subtile:<br /><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">Black text: </span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">Arabic Transcript.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">Blue text:</span></b><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"> </span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">Arabic transcript written in English alphabet.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: green;">Green text:</span></b><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"> </span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">My English translation.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red;">Red text:</span></b><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"> </span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">MEMRI’s English translation.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="background: yellow none repeat scroll 0% 50%; font-size: 10pt; color: red; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;">Highlighted red text:</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;"> <b>Wrong</b> MEMRI English translation.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" dir="rtl" style="text-align: left; direction: rtl; unicode-bidi: embed;" align="right"><b><span dir="ltr" style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" dir="rtl" style="text-align: left; direction: rtl; unicode-bidi: embed;" align="right"><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:line id="_x0000_s1026" style="'position:absolute;" from="0,6.7pt" to="6in,6.7pt" strokeweight="1.5pt"><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--><span style="position: relative; z-index: 1; left: -1px; top: 7px; width: 578px; height: 10px;"><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/AS%60ADA%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image001.gif" shapes="_x0000_s1026" height="3" width="578" /></span><!--[endif]--><b><span dir="ltr" style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" dir="rtl" style="text-align: left; direction: rtl; unicode-bidi: embed;" align="right"><b><span dir="ltr" style="color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p> <br /> <p class="MsoNormal" dir="rtl" style="text-align: right; direction: rtl; unicode-bidi: embed;"><b><span style="color: black;" lang="AR-JO">سراء</span></b><span style="color: black;" lang="AR-JO">: سنابل، إنتي شو حتعملي .. يعني .. من أجل الأقصى؟ شو حتفدي .. يعني روحك من أجل الأقصى؟ شو حتعملي؟<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: blue;">Sarraa’:</span></b><span style="color: blue;"> Sanabel, enti shoo hate’mali ... ya’ni ... min ajl el-Aqsa?
