Over at the CBC News Network, atop the banner reading “News Now”, the CBC informed us today as to the number one books of the decade as chosen 
by Indigo Books’ staff …of self-important liberals, or atheists, or something, apparently.
The categories: Fiction, Fiction for Young Adults, Biographies, Non-Fiction, Cooking, and a special category as chosen not by Indigo staff but by the most prolific readers on file as customers of Indigo, the Most Life-Changing book of the decade. All the winners were displayed on the CBC’s taxpayer-paid prop table. Well almost all the winners.
As he laughed out loud, the Indigo representative, Bahram Olfati declared that the number one Life-Changing book, as chosen by their most prolific readers and customers, was (drum roll…) The Bible. Even though she sounded surprised, the CBC anchor, Carol somebody, declared “Of course!”, much to my relief, as I reminded myself I was watching the state-owned, socialism-reliant CBC which seems to me to be bent on being as anti-Christian as they can get away with. I mean this could easily have gone bad, quickly.
But instead of displaying The Bible as he did with all the other winners, they naturally displayed one called The Book of Negroes in its place. “My personal favorite for the decade was The Book of Negroes,” he informed us, as if his opinion was more important than any of Indigo’s most 
prolific readers, which was the whole point of the exercise, and who, once again, instructed him and us that their most life-changing book was not The Book of Negroes, but The Bible, instead.
Perhaps displaying The Bible on CBC was considered to be a “church and state” issue. Wink.
Then almost as if I had to be reminded yet again that I was watching the CBC news channel, which is sort of the TV version of The Book Of Liberalism, in Indigo’s Non-Fiction category (reminder: that means fact-based), their in-house Indigo staff expert choice was of course (drum roll…) “God Is Not Great”, written by an abject God-hating atheist. In essence (a term I use advisedly since the book stinks) it’s a book about mocking Christianity and all religions as idiotic, or worse than idiotic, in the rambling, angry opinion of one God-hating atheist.
Well at that, the surprising anchor rightly suggested, upon revealing Indigo’s Non-Fiction winner, “…although some people would say this does belong in FICTION!”. And after the Indigo representative interrupted that not at all on-side suggestion with his protestation, “Debatable! Debatable!”, she added, “Especially people who chose The Bible as their number one life-changing book!”
Well yes.
But back to The Book of Negroes, which was displayed in place of The Bible as the people’s choice, because, we were told by Bahram Olfati, that was his most life-changing book. It’s much like any typical newscasting day in the liberal media, as we see over and over again. What they think is the most important or life-changing (in this case) book of the decade, is, you see, you stupids, more important and more correct than what you think, manifestly because what you chose was The Bible.
In any case, if they did display The Bible as they did the others, I have a suspicion they would have displayed it in the Fiction category. So maybe this worked out for the best.
Here’s a link — via our Amazon.ca page — to the number one book, which is called The Bible. This is one I personally own, which I only tell you because what I personally think is far more important than whatever idiotic thing you think. (Snarf).
stacked on more oxymoronic. It’s like a BLT only it’s all made of left-flank of pork. On top of that, the story was about the HST. Taxes! So they conflate “business” news, from the CBC, with an organization that manifestly hates private business (they only like government business, which of course isn’t “business” at all), and the story is about taxes. Ah. This is “business” to the CBC. And then they toast it. Or to put it another way, it’s Monday at the CBC. 
Edward Jones —an investment firm, which ostensibly strives for and thrives in freedom rather than socialism, and a nice free-market economy, rather than socialism. 
How about this headline instead:

Well now the “climate science” has really hit the fan. Rex Murphy, who went “rogue” way before Sarah Palin did (alas he’s no Sarah Palin —just compare the head shots), and who’s famously employed by both the far-left state-owned and socialism-reliant CBC, and its kissing cousins over at the liberal’s very own Globe and Mail division, and who’s more famously known for actually being sensible so often, on so many issues, despite it all —let loose on the ClimateGate story yesterday. Remarkably, he did this on none other than Canada’s alarmism-central for the “man-made global warming” religion, the CBC. And as if to add insult to injury, he did it on their premier (though a loser in the ratings) nightly newscast, The National, starring 
Rush Limbaugh heart attack: CBC’s leftist “tolerant” set wish him dead; CBC approves comments
UPDATED
They do this at one of the only places that would allow such a thing: the God-awful CBC, which as I’ve documented time and again, is one of the most hateful, divisive, extremist, far-left web sites in North America. The examples below are just the ones who apparently couldn’t wait to express their vile extremist left-wing hatred and mouth-watering savage joy at the news that Rush Limbaugh had a heart attack. Imagine what some of them kept inside!
And yes the CBC does moderate the comments, and yes they did approve of these that I pasted below, which I got not from one of those awful hate-sites that the left are always sending up to their various “human rights” divisions, but directly from that national taxpayer-paid, state-owned CBC web site which supposedly represents Canada to ourselves and the world. There’s many more like them. and through the day, many more will be added by the CBC compassionates and tolerants. CBC will keep approving them. I think they like them.
This one is another public school graduate who uses an apostrophe after Limbaugh to indicate the plural form of his name, while wishing him — hey, it’s us, actually! —all dead:
Here’s some extra Christmas-y “compassion” that the liberal-left is always pretending they own:
This one simply HOPES for the death panels that they so ridiculed, in the case of Rush Limbaugh —and possibly select others. Sort of like Adolph Hitler and the Nazis, no? Yes! Exactly the same. …But our taxpayer-paid state-owned CBC approved it so it must be OK!
This is another one that sounds an awful lot like Adolph Hitler and the Nazis… but the tolerant moderators at the CBC approved it! Hitler lives! He’s at the CBC!
This one is just filled with rage and hate. And you know it is, because like all liberals, they project their own abject hate onto those they hate the most.
Actually, you got it backward, Bucky. It does wash, because you are a hate-filled, fascist, intolerant, left-wing ass!
This one doesn’t wish death on Rush Limbaugh per se —merely egregious physical harm and disability. I guess this is what the leftists and liberals mean by “compassion”.
Late addition:
“The Green Hornet” says on the CBC web site on the news that Limbaugh had a heart attack, that Rush Limbaugh is:
(a) “a terrorist worse than Osama bin Laden”
(b) a “fascist”
(c) “one scary individual who reminds me a great deal of Hitler”
(d) a “tub of lard”
(e) “He represents the weak minded and the fearfull.” (That’s us! Dumb and scared! Nice!)
(f) he is “subhuman”
(g) and he calls us all “The Christian Taliban sheep who follow this shepherd of deceit.” (So you see, my friends, we’re all savage terrorists now… because we like Rush Limbaugh. But don’t worry, this is not bigotry, nor is it a radical extremist nutbar talkin’!)
But God bless him, he also adds:
(h) “For the record. I am a conservative. I believe in capatilisim, free market economies and democracy.”
Oh yes. I’m so sure. Yes I’m so sure he’s a conservative. And he’s ever so into all the “capatilisim”. And possibly even capitalism.
This is something you simply don’t see — at least not on this scale — from the conservative right. And not on a state-owned, taxpayer-paid, supposedly mainstream web site. Possibly on some underground hate site—I don’t know. But not on a web site which pretends to be mainstream and normal.
It’s weird hilarious because we see all the left-wing and even far, extreme left-wing media —we all get access to all of it. Like the CBC! But like Fox News Channel and most everything that is tolerant of conservatives, I’ll bet a thousand dollars none of these intolerant leftist asses have ever actually been even remotely exposed to it. They’ve never listened to an entire Rush Limbaugh radio show. No radio station in Canada caries it, and it isn’t easily available online. So how do they know to obediently hate him so?
Hello CBC!
At least they’re not in as much of a hurry as Wikipedia to see the opposition dead. Wikipedia rushed to pronounce him dead within a short time after news broke, and adjusted his Wikipedia entry, before someone pointed out that in fact, he’s not dead. Nice try, Wikipedia, but actually, I still don’t think this is what Barack Obama really meant by “hope”, or even “change”.
And as a huge fan of Rush Limbaugh and a long-time subscriber to his superb web site, which comes complete with the ability to both listen to and watch his radio show live and in post-show recordings for a measly $6 per month, I wish him the very best health care that money can buy, and a full recovery.
UPDATE:
USA Today rushed to include a link to ProudToBeCanadian’s article about the egregious slobs at CBC. (I always point this out because it’s only USA Today and New York Times and Boston Globe and others like them that present links to PTBC articles —it’s never any Canadian media).
And of course this is a fantastic way to end the year —exposing the dreadful, state-owned CBC, with its rabidly leftist fans, to thousands of Americans —as the far-left, hate-filled site that it actually appears proud to be.
But is it any wonder why one of our “ProudToBeCanadian” web site’s mottos is “It’s a question”?
EXTRA:
I checked cnews.canoe.ca and their “GOOD NEWS” section for the story of Rush Limbaugh’s health problems, but fortunately they decided it might be a little obvious or blithe or mirthful, this time around.
