So I'm all caught up in the latest news about the wars in Iraq and the delivering of aid to Afghanistan and the perils fraught therein. My last thought on that matter was why is not Canada in a place right now where it really matters, like Darfur. Not that Afghanistan does not matter, Afghanistan has always "mattered". (Kinda thought a 'but' would come up didnt you?) But we need to grasp the significance of our work there as as a country. Before we lose direction. Drawing as an example the war in Iraq, the Bush house is in tatters and shambles for clinging so tightly to its mandate as a figurative outreach of Blairs office to "contain" Saddam. Even George Tenet is coming out swinging in an unmitigated effort at self-preservation, taking long drawn out pot shots at the crass rule by proxy of VP Richard Cheney and C.Rice. Meanhile, in another area of the deep dark forest of political speculation where agendas are all not as hidden as they are muted, Bush has been likened to a "blind man in a room full of deaf people". A frightening analogy to consider, but boding well for reality when cross-compared with the recent reports of suicide bombings out of Iraq. Almost 100 US soldiers in one month dead in April 2007? How far does your memory serve to the year 2003? How many more times will we hear the phrase tersely uttered: "in one of the worst months for casualties since the invasion began"? All in all, it IS beginning to take the same shadow outline form of that last helicopter exiting Saigon in 1973. So not that things have not been as exciting here in Canada. How could they not be with the fire and brimstone preaching from his holier than thou environmental platform Mr John Baird(party news release) on how nasty the Liberals have been the past ten years. Every single accusation leveled at the response from his government on the threat of man and his impact on the environment has been met with nothing but a large open vitriloic mouth and a firm finger pointing (make that poking) at the past Liberal government. And yet his new plan to encounter this little business of Global Warming has been thoroughly ridden over roughshod with few mincing of words from preminent environmentalists and scientists, one of them happening to be one Dr.David Suzuki who all agree on one word and one word only when it comes down to either a)his message,b) the communication of his message. It, in a word: stinks. So, between that and calls for the Defence Ministers resignation over our intermediary role and not intercendiary role in handing over Afghan detainees to be tortured in which NATO supports an inquiry of sorts, and stale accusations of Harpers taunt at the Liberals that they might be actually Taleban friendly (no one has forgotten)...its been a rough week for Stephen Harper. Big shoes to fill and I tend to think even he could not have been possibly prepared for what he has been wading into. When the Canadian people again sing O Canada with the same depth and feeling that stood for us proud moments in our countrys birth , evolution and growth...it will be about a lot more than a hockey game.
But the whole raison d'etre for this blog entry has been to skip over all of that. I just wanted to write a brief encapsulation of the world as portrayed and filtered through the media (human interest stories anyone?) and get to the real reason for this entry. I'd like to provide something with more distractive quality.
Lingerie Purveyor Victoria's Secret Names Justin Timberlake Sexiest Male Musician
1) I have never seen Mr.Timberlake with a musical instrument or play one so dont know if he qualifies as a musician.
2) I was shocked to see this because for all the beauty glorification this lingerie line does for women, had they not bothered to stop and consider the degradation Justin portrays in his videos?
They are not without controversy.
I had personally seen his video in which he undoes decades of hard work hard working women have sought to attain for themselves as a priveleged position in society not to be considered objects to be owned,possesed,domineered...let alone chased to their deaths..which is efectively what Mr Timberlake does in his video. IN addition to using violence against his friend. In short he is the angered male, acting irrationally...much like a road raged driver does. To instill this attitude, this GLORIFIED attitude, in our young people is like playing with fire.
Timberlake's lyrics send wrong message to kids
What a girl wants: changes
Baltimore Sun, MD - 22 hours ago
Shown on overhead screens midway into the show, the video is part of Lifetime Networks' "End Violence Against Women" campaign

But....why is this newsworthy and worth blah-gging about?
This article I found says thus: "If you're interested in learning about women's history during the past 175 years or so in the United States, just take a look at the lingerie they wore ..."
Lingerie has always reflected a woman's place in society.
But I'm with you anyway, after we hear from Us Magazine and People Magazine...who really cares what or who a manufacturer decides to call sexy.
