Nutty: Let me add one final point. It's not a case
of falsehoods vs. facts; it's just a measure of how skewed Moon's
judgment is. He actually defends the crazy case of the McDonald's
employee who won the human right not to have to wash her hands -- plus
$50,000 tax-free for her troubles. You can read my take on that case here.

Moon quotes the Tribunal ruling favourably, when they said: "I am at

Nutty: Let me add one final point. It's not a case
of falsehoods vs. facts; it's just a measure of how skewed Moon's

$50,000 tax-free for her troubles. You can read my take on that case here.

Moon quotes the Tribunal ruling favourably, when they said: "I am at
a loss to understand why McDonald's did not take more steps to try to
accommodate [her]". Hilarious: from January 21, 2002 until November 8,
2004, McDonald's kept paying this woman, even though she stopped
working (except for a few very brief "attempts" to wash her hands
again). They sent her to every doctor imaginable (except a
psychiatrist).

Are you with me, still? Here's a burger-flipper who refused to wash
her hands. McDonald's said there was no job in the restaurant -- not
even the manager -- that didn't require hand-washing. For nearly three
full years they paid her to do nothing. A better woman would have found
a new job; but why would she do that, if McDonald's would give her a
three-year paid vacation? In the end, they let her go. But Moon says
they didn't accommodate her.

Crack. Pot.

My favourite line from the Tribunal ruling is this one, at paragraph 240:
"...there was no evidence about the relationship between food
contamination and hand-washing frequency." That's not just dumb, that's
gross. But it's good law, according to Moon.

Richard Moon is a middling professor at a low-profile law school. He
hit the jackpot with his $52,500 brochure, and he was embarrassed that
I publicized that dollar amount. Well, he should be.

But in his anger at me for embarrassing him, he has become a clown.
I mean, seriously: was his Saskatchewan speech really appropriate for
the occasion? A blog post, maybe; a debate panel, sure. But, invited to
talk about human rights commissions,

he spends a
half hour ranting about me and Mark Steyn, and nitpicking my blog
entries (and not accurately). Is that really what he wants to do in
the winter of his life? How sad. But his falsehoods in defence of the
CHRC are becoming even more embarrassing than his stratospheric
invoices to the taxpayer. He's making it worse. Just reading his speech
sounds like he's screaming.

On Monday, at his appearance before Parliament's Justice Committee,
let's see if he repeats the lies in his speech -- especially about
Steacy never having written anything bigoted, or Warman never having
written anything bigoted while at the CHRC, or Warman never having
worked on censorship files...

he'll now know that his facts are wrong.

Do you think he'll lie to Parliament?

We'll find out on Monday.
