Podcast reveals resignation of State interrogator. Hooray!

Ezra Levant is our guest this week. Ezra is the former publisher of Canada's Western Standard newspaper, who was famously hauled up in front of some sort of bogus Province of Alberta Kangaroo Court for a variety of thought crimes.

Show Exclusive: Shirlene McGovern, tormentor of Ezra, has asked to resign from his case! 

He fought back by arguing against the entire process, and posting a video of his encounter with the interrogator on You Tube. You can find all his videos and much more on his own website ezralevant.com.

New Visitors from HotAir, welcome! Don't feel you have to jump to the interview, stick around and listen to the rest of the show. We also have part two comming up next week.

Just wanted to say I was turned onto your podcast from Hotair today (relating to that whole thing with the canadian thought pollice). Really fun show you have going. You got a new subscriber today.

This was the first of another 2 part interview and we'll continue next week.

In blog news this week we travel back a few hundred years to the time of Chaucer with "Here Bigynneth the Tale of the Asse-Htte. An Archbishop of Canterbury Tale" borrowed from the satirist (oh how unworthy are we of that title) Iowahawk.

The news that there are witches in Saudia Arabia is not a surprise. I wish it were even a surprise that they plan to behead one, but alas it is not so.

You can find the amazing story of the Mosque, so enlightened that they are considering letting in a dog here at Europenews.

The magnificent Lord's Prayer comes from the Blue Like You blog and from the cartoonist MacKay.

More on China and the Olympics can be found in the Daily Mail.

We also have our regular chat with Evan Sayet. You can find more of his work at his own site evansayet.com.

Doug Payton is talking about the death of Nahoul the Bee and his replacement by a rabbit. You can also find my posts on Israellycool about that here and here. Dave's post on the modes of death for the rabbit is: Different ways to skin a rabbit.

Former SNN contributor, Andrew Ian Dodge's website can be found here.

From magnificent Canadian cartoonist MacKay:

Thanks for the link. I just wanted to point you to the website of the cartoonist who wrote the prayer. (Mackay)

This is absolutely fabulous! Keep applying heat. Maybe we can get rid of the whole organization and free Ezra and Mark Steyn at the same time! Thanks for the heads-up.

There is NOTHING and I mean NOTHING more sexy to me than Conservative men.  Especially ones with Brit and Aussie accents, with quick, sharp, absurdist wits.

You guys rock.  I just added you and Mark Steyn's pages to my bookmarks today.

I'll have you know that I'm married.  OK, I don't have a British or Aussie accent, but I'm still married.

Oh, you weren't speaking of me?  Well, OK then, that's fine, 'cause I'm married.

No offense meant, Doug.  I'm just as disappointed to find out you're married as I would be to find the others (with the accents) married.

'Just have a bit of a weakness for British men (and Aussies, to a lesser degree).

All of you lot are just too much conservy goodness.

Speaking of accents, Mark Steyn was born in Canada, grew up in Britain and now lives back in Canada and the US. How did he end up with an Australian accent?

Anyway, love the site, especially the podcasts and that flag is the dog's bollocks.

Your "something something" analysis of Obama's speeches inspired me to do a little mashup of my own. Hope you like it.

Ah...Steyn grew up in Britain. That explains it. I knew Canadians didn't sound like that.

Tickleddragon, Tom's accent, like Russel Crowes, is faked, mines the real one.

We should talk.
