Just link with the boxnet and you can play the songs in your browser bowser...... ;)




Well it seems that DMB has taken a full on hit to the server.
As of yesterday afternoon the hosting site for Dustmybroom.com was shut down and out of business. Leaving who knows how many web sites SOL for the Holidays.... and at least a few Broomers in a sad state of Friday Night with no Blues Tunes and no Beer picks from the D-man.

I'm going to give him a call and see what we can do about the situation....

Cheers for now...

A Merrry Christmas Wish From - Stephane Dion?

Christmas may bring out the best in some of us .... in others there seems to be nothing worthwhile to bring out!

Note to Liberals - It's Christmas you jackasses!

With Garth Turner's pathetic e-mail earlier this week sent to those people who criticized his egomaniacal blathering on his blog. And now, today's example of witless partisan politicing.

Today I received in the mail a letter with the return address ....
HON. S. DION, DEPUTE / MP - Chef de l'opposition / Leader of The Opposition Saint-Laurent-Cartierville

Inside the envelope is a blurb obviously taken from the LPC website ( which I will not dignify with a Satatistical Hit from my visit) spouting off about all the usual things that these self righteous fools don't like about our Elected Government and Our Leader Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

All the usual BS about the environment, Bali/Kyoto, Human Rights for Aboriginals on and on they go and of course in the process telling us how wonderful they are because the Liberals Take the Lead on ALL these important issues.

At the end signed by : Todd Russell, MP Labrador

So I say to you Todd, Stephane, Garth... etal :

In spite of your insipid efforts to obfuscate and confabulate a case against the government... In spite of the most venal and undeserving spirit you show.... In spite of the no class jackassery you so love to engage in..... In spite of your LONG history and unrepentant denial of dishonesty arrogance and hypocrisy ..... In spite of the disrespect you show to all Canadians through your words and actions.

In spite of the embarrassment that you are to Canadians of Good Spirit and Good Faith.....

Merry Christmas!

US Growth May Edge Canada! - So What?

Well they got the headline right but from there on in....
They go on to paint a negative picture of our Nations Economy which contrary to the implications of the article is doing just fine. It's very neat how economists can go about overreacting to both good or bad economic news. First over stating the upside and projections then when the things don't go as planned making like chicken little over the imagined failure to meet their own overly optimistic projections.

The only story here is that the US economy which was falsely portrayed in the MSM as languishing has in fact been running like a locomotive on a long piece of straight and level track.
It's been picking up steam and is now projected to keep accelerating.

Yes they will surpass Canada's performance. BUT when the US does good Canada does too!

So don't believe for a minute that we are about to go into a nose dive as these chicken heads are trying to imply.

Excerpt:

HEATHER SCOFFIELD

From Thursday's Globe and Mail

"" Hopes that Canada's economy would finally be able to outpace the United States are falling flat, according to a new forecast from Global Insight.

Sunny projections from just a few months ago, that Canada's growth would surpass its floundering neighbour, have been turned on their head. In September, Canada was expected to grow 2.6 per cent in 2007, while the United States would only eke out a 2.2-per-cent expansion, Global Insight forecasts said at the time.

But now, both the United States and Canada have had a reversal of fortunes, with prospects for the United States shaping up to be better than expected, but Canada falling short, says Dale Orr, chief economist at Global Insight Canada. ""

BTW - At least ONE reader of the Globe & Mail was quick to jump in with " Harper's Ruining Our Economy! " - that's the first comment offered up from the braintrust folks who get their information at G&M !
""" .... Duncan Munro from Langley BC, Canada writes: Harpo's destroying the economy...Told ya so! """

Yeah right genius!

UN Gets Tough - HUMBUG!

Some Quotes from A Christmas Carol – by Charles Dickens

To the Ghost of Christmas Past.....

`It's humbug still!'' said Scrooge. ``I won't believe it.''

``Why do you doubt your senses?''

``Because,'' said Scrooge, ``a little thing affects them. A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheats. You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!''

NO I am Not A Scrooge....I'm a Skeptic!And today I have this to be skeptical about:

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court said he believes he has evidence to prove who is most responsible for crimes against humanity in Sudan's Darfur region.

Luis Moreno Ocampo told the UN Security Council he plans to submit the case in February to the court's judges, who must review the evidence and decide whether the case should proceed. "The case will show evidence of wilful killings, massive rapes, tortures and pillaging of entire villages," Ocampo told reporters afterward........

Yes the atrocities are very real...the ABILITY and even the WILL of the UN to pursue any meaningful response is a HUMBUG!
