Canadian men's hockey wins in a shoot out. Good game guys.

Zerohedge reports that a new poll by Scott Rasmussen suggests that 71% of Americans feel their government is not on their side, but conspires with business to the detriment of consumers.

That Swiss goalie was AMAZING.

I can't imagine Team Canada's feeling all that Gr-8 about their win -- or the Swiss, for that matter!

But, we won. 'Maybe a little humility going into the next game ...

I'm not a big fan of reality TV, but I watched an episode of Holmes on Homes today. Mike Holmes helps people fix disasters left behind by bad contractors. It's sort of interesting, and a real public service.

Interesting perspective on the global media in an article titled "Covering Climate Change" in the latest edition of the World Watch Magazine (online edition). It could have appeared in any Canadian newspaper that is still clinging to the narrative that the climategate documents were stolen by right-wing deniers and the IPCC is a credible organization.

Here is a sample from the final paragraph:
"Unless climate change reporting improves through more in-depth, international coverage, the necessary shift to low-carbon, resilient economies will not likely occur until the worst damages become as apparent as flood water rising to our windows. By then, it may be too late."

As if the warmists have not had any favourable press coverage in the past 10 years...

Check out Prime Minister Stephen Harper's interview with Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky over at Stephen Taylor's blog:

Own the podium cancel.

Loan the podium -- new slogan.

we ought to own it , we are likely a billion bucks in the glue.

hey.....wht so negative? We got the GOLD in women's short track!

Gordie Howe was a player that nobody would mess with.... He had , early in his career, a fight with Lou Fontanio.(SP), the tough guy with the Rangers... that was the bloodest fight I ever saw (this was back when the Ref's would let them fight)

Lou's face looked like hamberger.. I don't think he, Lou, played after that Fight...

BTW: Bigger Sask got a 5 min feature on the NBC Network (today Show) yesterday...No mention of Dave Shults

Well, Johnny Queer er ... Weir, didn;t win the men's figure skating, but he won it for flamboyance and devil-may-care. The Americans won it and rightfully so, edging out the Ruskies.

So Elton John thinks that Jesus was gay. Isn't it amazing how we project our proclivities on Jesus as a justification for our said proclivities?

Apparently some "arabic" Saracens were caught trying to poison the food supply at an Army Base in the U.S.

Bob Hope on Democrats. Can't imagine a comment like that being allowed in Hollywood today.

Wouldn't it be awesome if the Canadian hockey teams put on green jerseys for a game??

Just saying.
Go Riders.
Go Canada.

Marco Rubio is the former House Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives who is running in the Florida Republican Senate Primary against Florida Governor Charlie Crist.

His speech was the opener at the CPAC conference in Washington D.C. it's covered more completely at babalublog.com and he is a true conservative/Republican.
He mentions many points that are regularly brought up here at SDA and other freedom loving blogs in Canada and the USA... currently Rasmussen Reports is giving him a 12 point lead although it's early days still. Last august he was trailing by 4 points.

"This severe economic downturn is the perfect time to reinvigorate, not abandon, the American free enterprise system".
"Let’s stop big government energy mandates like cap and trade, and instead rely on the American innovator to make us energy independent".
"There is no greater risk to our security than radical Islamic terrorists.
These terrorists do not aim to kill us because we offended them.
They attack us because they want to impose their world view on others, and America is standing in their way".
"We will punish their allies like Iran and stand with our allies like Israel".

... and about another hundred or so things that seem to ring true here at SDA... he is looking like an up and comer, his speech is here,

Forty years ago there was a sign that greeted travellers entering Biggar: New York's Big But We're Biggar!

more censorship from mr entrails. well bub, EAT SHIT

[No, my dear George, it is not the case that the link you provided last night was "censored", as you so quaintly put it, rather it is the case that there was an entire entry on said topic on the main page yesterday, by Kate, where such information was already provided. Since this entry is "Reader Tips", not "George's Place", your blatantly redundant information did not qualify as a "Reader Tip", and so was unpublished. The other cases where your "Reader Tip"s have been unpublished have also been due to their not being tips, or being redundant, or gratuitously repetitive. Furthermore, sir, if you insist on treating your hosts in the fashion you have demonstrated in this comment, I will simply inform the bouncers to permanently bar your entrance at the doorway, so I would advise you to cut it out. ~ Vitruvius]

I remember that sign!!

But I thought it read "New York is big, but this is Biggar".....

Could be wrong, it was 33 years ago....lol

Saw it when we went out west to visit my sister in Calgary and my dad's old homestead in Landis, Sask.

"Former KNMI director and skeptic Henk Tennekes gets vindication from Netherlands De Telegraaf
18 02 2010

Here’s a bit of interesting news from a Dutch newspaper. WUWT readers may recall this story:

Scientist quits: ‘I don’t want to remain a member of an organization that …screws up science that badly.’ Henk Tennekes Resigns from Dutch Academy. Now there is a new twist to the story."

Thanks Vit. One of my all time favourites but not one of my daughter. We were in Denver in a Super Wal-Mart when we hit the music section. She bought the stuff you could not get in Canada but wouldn't play them in the car. I picked up a ton of oldies for cheap including Canadian artists I couldn't get in Canada. She listened to Gladys for the rest of the day.

"*Liberal Media Pushing Obama to Fight"

"The Torture by Hope

Many years ago, as evening was closing in, the venerable Pedro Arbuez d'Espila, sixth prior of the Dominicans of Segovia, and third Grand Inquisitor of Spain, followed by a _fra redemptor_, and preceded by two familiars of the Holy Office, the latter carrying lanterns, made their way to a subterranean dungeon. The bolt of a massive door creaked, and they entered a mephitic _in-pace_, where the dim light revealed between rings fastened to the wall a bloodstained rack, a brazier, and a jug. On a pile of straw, loaded with fetters and his neck encircled by an iron carcan, sat a haggard man, of uncertain age, clothed in rags.

This prisoner was no other than Rabbi Aser Abarbanel, a Jew of Arragon, who--accused of usury and pitiless scorn for the poor--had been daily subjected to torture for more than a year. Yet "his blindness was as dense as his hide," and he had refused to abjure his faith.

Proud of a filiation dating back thousands of years, proud of his ancestors--for all Jews worthy of the name are vain of their blood--he descended Talmudically from Othoniel and consequently from Ipsiboa, the wife of the last judge of Israel, a circumstance which had sustained his courage amid incessant torture. With tears in his eyes at the thought of this resolute soul rejecting salvation, the venerable Pedro Arbuez d'Espila, approaching the shuddering rabbi, addressed him as follows:

"My son, rejoice: your trials here below are about to end."

"all the phases of this fatal evening were only a prearranged torture, that of_ HOPE, the Grand Inquisitor,"

Hey everyone heres something for you to see, google natural persons law.Click on the link under the heading Breaking News.The irony of organized crime showing the public how the system takes advantage of the sheeples lack of real intelligence or fortitude is mind blowing.

At least they have the balls to debate the issue, rather than just turning tail and running like the traitor Harper.
