Free Mark Steyn 2013!

“What I always objected to in Canada about Section 13 was its casual contempt for the citizenry, the same contempt on display today in Washington and London. Like Theresa May, Justice Kennedy would rather impute motive than engage argument. The need to delegitimize those who disagree does indeed “demean this institution”, and is profoundly disturbing.”

~ ITEM: MAJOR VICTORY FOR CANADIAN FREEDOM OF SPEECH– Hate speech provision in Human Rights Act struck down; Not with a bang But with a whimper

~ ALTHOUGH TEH Binks is a long-time internet news & blog guy (started 1995-6), it wasn’t until the Mark Steyn/ Ezra Levant cases in late 2007 that I turned from the goldfish pond of Anglican news to the sea of Canadian politics, free speech, and all the stuff you see below and in the archives.

Zombie Elf?

Dear Pre-Dead Minions:

In the blogger-race to have various illnesses, it may be that Right Girl and I are tied in the “Indefinable But Looks Like Gall Bladder But There’s No Stones So Let’s Do More Tests-itis” department. She had hers out already, I think, but it turns out that my GB has likewise been slowly and strangely dying for a while, but is now actively applying for ex-organ status. 18% function, saith my doc. Awesome!

What does that mean for you, the customer?

Well, some time much sooner than later, my sad little bile-bag’s gotta be whipped out and become medical waste. In the meantime, I’ve been  feeling mo’ worser, much pains, sleeping more than 12 hours a day, and weary and not much inspired neither to write long screeds, nor even longer lists of links, and while there’s been a posting on the back-burner getting picked at now and again, it’s so far from finished that it’s just a sad little prod to my compulsive bloggers-guilt rather than an active project.

So there it is. And I didn’t even bore you about the pounding kidney stones.

I’m still reading, thinking, pondering, and will be posting betimes. Just not a lot or regularly (give or take).. all prayers & best wishes and free loot appreciated.

Your friend & servant,

Teh Binks

News Posting Soon..

UPDATE: Not goofing off or ill, just beavering away at blogging & life, so expect that fresh news posting tomorrow.

Thanks to those of you making enquiry about gifting Teh Binks for his natal celebrations next week.

.. in the next 24-48sh, The Elf is hoping. Lotsa fresh commentary, links & vids.

A very Happy American Thanksgiving to my U.S. friends, relatives, and Binky-worshippers. Don’t forget to be thankful for The WebElf, too.

Speaking of which, the Elf’s very own nativity day is coming up next week.

Thanks to the special donors who have enabled the upcoming site transfer to a more secure setup, and to the others of you who might hit the Amazon button and send along natal loot to your favourite elf of the intertoobs.

Cheers,

Teh Binks
