4082...I Want A Corvette For My Birthday

Red.

From you.

November 29 is the day.

On the calendar mark it.

As slim as my chance of getting a Little Red Corvette from you for my birthday it is expodentially higher than the chance of George W. Bush getting arrested in Canaduh when he comes here next week.

Amnesty International seems to think that the case is clear to arrest W. and laid it out in this morning's Montreal Gazette:

Human rights watchdog Amnesty International called on the Conservative government Wednesday to investigate, arrest and prosecute former U.S. president George W. Bush for torture when he visits Canada next week.

Alex Neve, secretary general of Amnesty's Canadian branch, stood in front of reporters with a stack of documents in hand that, he said, opened the door for a Canadian investigation into Bush's authorization for use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" from 2002 to 2009.

"The evidence is clear, former U.S. president George W. Bush is responsible for a wide range of human rights violations - notably torture - which constitute crimes under international law," Neve said.


It, of course, is not going to happen. As much as it pains me to say this, I have to agree with what Jason Kenney, one of our beloved PM's fartcatchers, said: "Amnesty International cherry picks cases to publicize based on ideology. This kind of stunt helps explain why so many respected human rights advocates have abandoned Amnesty International."

Some serious bullsh*t.
