~ IN MOVIE or video game plots, once the hero gets entangled with the outer minions, then there’s the really bad guys of the inner circle, then there’s the ultimate bad guy, and the climax of the show.

We’ve had the permed minion on CTV and the pudgy minion at the parliamentary hearings, but now they’ve finally got the Alien Queen out of her nest head woman out actually speaking for her organization.

Clearly, they’re just not paying her enough– after all, she’s a hugely talented constitutional expert, PR professional, world traveller, psychologist; Internet fact-checker/ blog analyst; evil hater spotter; media spokeswoman; indeed, there seems to be no skill or area in which the supremely multi-talented Queen of the Canucki Inhuman Unrights Communism does not apparently possess.

I heard her school-marmish voice– for the first time in all of this– hector a studiously impartial Roy Green on CHQR last Saturday. Classy. She’s clearly fighting for her administrative life and reputation– you can hear it in her voice, more than the pat answers. Sadly, though she has come out fighting, it’s making things worse. The dogpile is all over the web, and the best words have been said, so it’s a few things she’s said that get my attention.

(1) 1200 items in her secret file? Spending your expensive time at home and work reading this and other similar blogs? Mrs. Lynch, early retirement may be an option, before you utterly implode yourself, and end up a sad joke.

(2) She still doesn’t get it: there’s justice; there’s HRC approved procedures, then there’s the law and real legal practice. Denial of a mess just looks stupid. I’ve been in situations like this, and the best thing to do is just apologize, fire some of the guilty, change policy, and take your lumps.

(3) Finally, Ms. Lynch keeps repeating that she runs an ‘independent agency’ accountable to Parliament. Duh. Since the Canadian Government is not financially self-sufficient, most of her personal income and the $200 mil I understand is floating around across Canada to fund these committees comes from us. Taxpayers. And we elect or unelect Parliament. What Ms. Lynch– with her business model– misunderstands is that she’s theoretically working for us, according to our good will and pleasure, if at one remove.

(4) Therefore, her apparent contempt at the little people nipping at her royal heels reveals a possibly serious misunderstanding: she’s not a lofty CEO/ Founder, nor a bureaucratic royal, no matter how she and her staff and minions and PR flacks seem to operate.

As anyone with authority can tell you, when it’s on your watch, it’s your fault, and your glory.

Mrs. Lynch needs a sideways promotion to some other plum posting, with this blotch on her permanent record: that she received a corrupt and overweening institution and did not immediately start cleaning house, nor– on her watch– did she do the usual bureaucratic moves to get the government to help her rectify the mess. Then, when she had public and political opinion on the side of reform and repair of the mess, she battened down the hatches instead of using that gift of free momentum to make it better, and to try and rebuild an institution that is full of good intentions, but which has been used and abused and allowed to grow out of real control. Warman and company are the symptoms: denial and school-marmishness is not the cure.

If Ms. Lynch wants to post a response after collecting this piddly essay from this middling blog by this ‘little person’ into her ‘Special File/Enemies List’, I will gladly post it unabridged, unedited.

As I wrote sincerely about Warren Kinsella during his recent illness, I’m praying for Jennifer Lynch, and hoping that she can ‘get it’, and come around to be a reformer, and not a person who makes Canada a worse place for her having been a public servant. ~

P.S. You may not know it, but Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider is also a Talk-Radio guy— and politically conservative, at that.

Whited Sepulchres

~ ITEM: Having quit journalism to study Christian theology just a year ago…

~ ITEM: Anglicans in divorce court over property

~ ITEM: Episcopal Priest: God Rejoices in Abortion

~ ‘THEOLOGY SCHOOLS’ are often nutfarms. Profs, a gaggle of young and middle aged students, all under ‘friendly watch’ for their personal qualities, under constant academic and personal evaluation; some well-educated, some not, some a frightening tangle of good intentions and cluelessness, progressives, some not-particularly pious sorts, some downright crackpots. Like society, except more so.

If your mind and soul and any ‘vocation’ you have survives seminary/ theology school, that’s something. Personally, I’d trust 1/25 of most of the grads I knew with the spiritual welfare of my family or pastoral crisis. Perhaps 1/50 clergy are good, maybe 1/100 rock.

These days, it’s a thankless calling– which weeds out most of the glory-hounds, but that means mo’ dregs. Second career people, divorced women on a mission; burnouts from other careers. These days for liberal churches, real talent is less preferred than an ability to go with the ever-shifting tide or revised morality, hymns, and petty rules which are the delight of dying denominations. A good Zellers-manager comes to mind, perhaps, rather than a Saint Augustine, or Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Perhaps it has ever been thus– or different, or worse. Go to a school of theology looking for a house of saints, super well-adjusted students or faculty? Not so much. Nor first-class academics. For men, it can be an emasculating thrill-ride into feminist though-policing and bending the knee not to God, but petty-tyrants. You learn to avoid truth to preserve feelings and ‘unity’ and not expose stultifying idiocy for what it is.

Moreover, most of what I know in my bones about progressivism, I know from seminary, and institutional/ parish life. Scary-bad… plus, years before the full contagion broke out in wider society. You know, the Anglicans sniffing out the mainstream of culture/ zeitgeist to parrot it in fancy robes with a dose of smugness. Especially in North America, most schools of theology ape the secular universities in thought and manners– not to mention brain-dead ideology and faddishness.

When it comes to the real-world? Ageing populations, legal civil war, official progressivism, shrinking budgets, and petty tyrants running the circus.

Not wasted, nor outside God’s redeeming providence– but costly. Be warned. ~

~ ITEM: The unbearable lightness of being clueless

~ THE SHE-BINKS says there’s too much blather in recent postings: so having recently read up on the Obama/ Iran thing, the following image says it all, in depth, and as a serious commentary in itself, not merely a graphical cheap-shot. ~

Paging Team America

~ ITEM: NORK-WAR? Thinking about the Unthinkable

~ ITEM: Barack Obama’s hope and change rhetoric rings hollow in Iran

~ BINKS HAS A theory.. involving the Trilateral Commission, the price of custard, movements of the moon, and the sock conspiracy… I didn’t say it was a good theory, nor consonant with reality.

Most war-plans these days are not much better, and date from the Cold War. Like World War II, the ‘good guys’ (such as we are) seem very ready to fight the last war, not present or future possibilities.

Right now, a few nations have nukes. Soon, more. It will change everything, and make every little conflict potentially global. Fling nukes into the balance on a battlefield or flung at some EU capital or the US, and it gets plenty interesting, plenty fast.

And say what you will about the former Soviets or the ChiComs: they may bombast about their bombs, but mostly watch trade-balances and debt. What about a ‘non-rational’/ status quo state actor? Or terrorists? Or crazies? Or a last-ditch petty tyrant? The more nukes about, the more likely one will go somewhere it can cause maximum damage, and consequences be damned.

As far as that goes, it took a sheriff like Ronald Reagan to stare down the USSR, not some milquetoast tinpot twit like Sprinkles Obama– ak.a. The President Formerly Known As Jimmy Carter (who, as we write, is rushing about the world aiding and abetting Jew-haters everywhere, especially the Arabic-speaking ones).

Just sayin’, is all. ~
