Damn links never post properly. Google "Seal hunt quota"

[ I fixed the link for you, TJ. ~Vitruvius ]

This NP article and picture is a perfect example of the power of propaganda and how it can be used to distort the truth in a very visible and emotional way. Those inclined not to study the complete issue see only the picture. Just like Al Gore's phony crumbling glaciers and polar bears adrift on an ice flow influence the weak.

Thank you Vitruvius.

TJ Did you notice the footer on the photograph for the credits and a comment?

seems to be some kind of preview for 'Greatest Tank Battles'. I should have checked YouTube before posting my previous message.

"Dr A Burns (18:10:50) :

Michael J. Trebilcock, professor of economics at Toronto University, says Denmark’s wind power is a con:

There is no evidence that industrial wind power is likely to have a significant impact on carbon emissions… Denmark, the world’s most wind-intensive nation, with more than 6,000 turbines generating 19% of its electricity, has yet to close a single fossil-fuel plant. It requires 50% more coal-generated electricity to cover wind power’s unpredictability, and pollution and carbon dioxide emissions have risen (by 36% in 2006 alone). "

Smokers who quit see improved artery health within year, UW study shows

Thanks Vit! That's the kind of music I listened to when I was driving around with my 1957 Chevy Bel-Air 4 Dr. Htp. 283, four barrel, dual exhaust. Everyhting was fine until I ran across a 1957 Ford with a 312 V-8! I lost the drag! The Chevy was quicker on takeoff, but the Ford had longer legs in the rear end.

Comedian John Wing's song about Saskatchewan:

It's more relevant to Canadians than, say, Rick Mercer, who seems to be one of those whiners.

Is Iraq's most recent past in effect a revolution? Would calling it a revolution win the support of William Ayers? Would Ayers support help B. H. Obama with his abandonment issues? Read more: http://thebailblog.blogspot.com/

"100 arrested at anti-brutality march

Protesters target cop who fatally wounded Fredy Villanueva in 2008

MONTREAL – More than 100 people were in police custody Monday night following a rowdy anti-police brutality march through the city’s east end.

Some of the protesters chanted "Lapointe, murderer," a reference to Jean-Loup Lapointe, the Montreal police officer who shot and fatally wounded Fredy Villanueva in Montreal North in August 2008.

At about 8 p.m., three STM buses carried away 85 of those arrested for participating in what police said was an illegal assembly.

The march organized by the Collectif Opposé à la brutalité policière was declared illegal by police just after 6 p.m., when marchers walking west along Ontario St. threw bottles and fireworks at police."

Jeff Schogol, Airborne bears to catch bin Laden, and other letters to the Pentagon

Could parachute-wearing bears sniff out Osama bin Laden?

That’s one suggestion the Pentagon has received from someone who noted, quite correctly, that a bear’s sense of smell is much more powerful than a bloodhound’s...

The Defense Department provided Stars and Stripes a sampling of some of the more bizarre feedback it gets through its Web site, www.defense.gov. The authors’ names were withheld, but all spelling, grammar and paranoia are authentic...

maz2, what the hell is a rational individual supposed to do in such a situation?

I'll be in Montreal next week, maybe I should look into paintball guns (or is that illegal now).

Had the misfortune of listening to this douchebag spew his bile over the air on my way to work this morning...apparently not everyone has heard the details of climategate.

Gro Harlem Brundtland?

Bruntland? That name bells a ring.

Is he UNabomber Mao Strong’s good buddy? Or, is she the other Bruntland?

“Of course, in the wake of Climate-gate, growing public skepticism of manmade global warming and dim prospects for big emissions cuts by the U.S. or China, a streamlined process may not get very far either.”

“U.N. Climate Envoy: Shift Climate Talks From U.N.

The United Nations may not be the best forum for global climate treaty talks after the Copenhagen collapse, said a top U.N. climate envoy.

After failing for years to reach a deal among 200 countries, negotiations will shift to more informal talks among a smaller number of key nations in a “double-track system,” said special U.N. envoy Gro Harlem Brundtland on Tuesday.

Copenhagen concluded with a nonbinding three-page paper hammered out in an all-night private meeting among President Barack Obama and a handful of leaders, most importantly from China, India, Brazil and South Africa. It fell far short of the summit’s original objective, a full-fledged and legally binding accord setting emission reduction targets for major countries.

The Copenhagen experience “will serve as a base for discussions going on this year. It’s not only going to be focused on the United Nations framework, but more on what these emerging economies and big economies are committing to,” said Brundtland, speaking on the sidelines of a world conference on biofuels.

***

Brundtland’s comments reflect a growing admission that the U.N. process has proven dysfunctional. They add weight because of her 20-year involvement in climate issues and her current role as Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s special climate envoy.”

Don't know which [t] player soloed on the 'Dizzy' horn, but he was good.

Woody is a real smoothie though. Played it a second time for him towards the end.

By way of counter balance. This is Manu Chao, an excellent Latin / French band.
