As a rental property owner, I claim that the rent is too damn low.

Remember the recent Kai Nagata diatribe? Sandra Thomas, an acquaintance of mine at the Vancouver Courier, had a few words to say about it!

Nice rebuttal for the kid to consider. Kinda smashes his bag of chips.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/the-hot-button/is-it-inappropriate-to-help-kids-apply-sunscreen-at-camp/article2098005/

Now summer camps in Maryland have a policy about helping kids apply sunscreen. They need permission from the parents to touch the kids.

Syncro, Sandra is a true "journalist" in the best sense of the word. She's not an anorexic Barbie, she doesn't get paid a huge salary, and she writes honestly, striving to be unbiased (except when she's writing an op-ed).

Robert, I know what you mean, my Mom worked in various aspects of small media.

Interviewed a couple of past Prime Ministers and covered more than one garden show.

Did both with the same professionalism.

If by rent he means the rent government charges for its services then yes, the rent IS too damn high.

Oh!
What tangled webs of deceit our socialists utopia leaders weave.

The proverbial cat is out of the bag on this gunrunner story.
Obmanation Media can't bury this horror story anymore..

Thousands of we unwashed,

Uncle Sam: Too Big To Fail.

"Canada's debt-to-GDP ratio is one-third of output, by far the best in the G7."

It's SH's fault.

"Keep calm and carry on"

"We'll be hearing a lot in the coming days about Article 4 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which stipulates: "The validity of the public debt of the United States... shall not be questioned."

This could be Barack Obama's constitutional trump card in his staredown with congressional Republicans over the impasse on raising the U.S. debt ceiling, which has already exceeded its legislated limit of $14.3 trillion.

That is not a typo. And it's not Greece. It's America.

This is where the IFIs, as the international financial institutions are known, usually show up and ask for the keys to the car. Not to mention the house.

The U.S. debt is forecast to exceed 100% of GDP next year. By comparison, Canada's debt-to-GDP ratio is one-third of output, by far the best in the G7.

The current U.S. deficit alone of $1.6 trillion is 10% of U.S. output. Stated another way, the U.S. deficit is larger than the entire economy of Canada.

Except Canada's current deficit is less than 3% of GDP and is cyclical, caused by the financial crisis and the Great Recession of 2008-09. Canada will return to fiscal balance in three years.

The American deficit is structural, with no prospect of it being eliminated in this decade. Or, truth be told, in the next.

This is at the heart of the argument between Obama and the Republicans, who have been captured by the Tea Party movement."

Oz's AGW/carbon tax debate:

Real crap.

Prime Minister Ms:

"Asked how the media should cover the climate change debate, Ms Gillard was blunt: "Don't write crap. Can't be that hard.""

Opposition leader Abbott:

"I think that climate change is real," he told the Brisbane audience.

"This is not a debate about climate change, this is a debate over how to deal with it.

"The argument is `Do you want a new tax or do you want direct action?' That's the discussion.""

Stephen Harper continues to make Canada unrecognizable to Liberals:

Gun control groups slam Canada's stance at UN arms talks

"Preliminary talks on a future Arms Trade Treaty are being held this week at the United Nations in New York. The treaty would establish common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional arms, and likely establish a reporting framework as well.

Thursday Canadian diplomats proposed that hunting rifles and other sporting arms be omitted from the draft accord.

"Canada would like to see language in the 'Principles' section that explicitly recognizes that there is a legal trade in small arms for legitimate civilian uses, including for sporting, hunting and collecting purposes," read the speech.

Desperate to produce some anti-Harper news,National Newswatch has this story,"Harper: Canada is not a bilingual Country"! Shocking!!!

Then I read the last line,it was by Harper all right, he wrote it in 2001.

It's a good article,hope he feels the same way today.

Like Woody Allen movies (which are nothing more than variations on an adolescent theme), I know I'm going to have to see the latest Harry Potter film, even though I realize it's glitzed-up pap.

John Boot:

Harry Potter: Irritating Little Honor Student
The boy wizard's last adventure is a self-important, grandiose disappointment.

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/harry-potter-irritating-little-honor-student/?singlepage=true

Early on in the final movie, Harry is apparently trapped deep underground going after the next item in his quest for magical bric-a-brac. Thanks to a perfidious goblin, he is in danger of being buried in rubble or at least of being killed by a dragon. So what does he do? He and Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) hop on the back of a dragon and speed away to safety. Where is the character, the accomplishment, or even the ingenuity of this? And why is the dragon so accommodating? It’s supposed to be a monster, not a shuttle service. It’s all too easy — like watching Superman zoom off to the Hoover Dam by catching a helicopter.

Why don’t kids notice that their heroes get everything handed to them on a levitating platter?

"Photo Gallery: The Art of Lost Places"

"Berlin-based photographer Axel Hansmann has managed to coax the charm out of grim settings, like this former Soviet military hospital in Beelitz, Brandenburg. Many of his photos, which are digitally manipulated, depict forgotten structures from the communist era of the former East Germany."

"Part of my project is to capture the beauty while it's still there," Hansmann told SPIEGEL ONLINE, describing his motivation to shoot such dilapidated scenes as this one in Beelitz."

"UN Climate Body Struggling to Pinpoint Rising Sea Levels (2)

The United Nations’ forecast of how quickly global sea levels will rise this century is vital in determining how much money might be needed to combat the phenomenon. But predictions by researchers vary wildly, and the attempt to find consensus has become fractious.

It is a number which will ultimately establish how billions in taxpayer money will be spent — and it is one which is the subject of heated debate, both among politicians and scientists.

When the next report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is issued in two years, it will include a forecast for how high the world’s oceans might rise by 2100. With 146 million people in the world currently living less than one meter above sea level, the forecast will be vital in determining how much money governments must spend on measures to protect people from the rising waters and to resettle those in the most acute danger.

"“Covert” Operations by East Anglia’s CRU"

"Today brings news of the arrest of the managing director of a firm hired by the University of East Anglia’s CRU (Climatic Research Unit) to carry out “covert” operations – h/t reader Chu here). Neil Wallis of Outside Organisation was arrested today in connection with the spreading News of the World scandal.

Last year, Wallis’ partner at Outside Organisation , Alan Edwards, was profiled in Music Week in a story that led with:

Don’t tell the conspiracy theorists. But one PR company was at the centre of the Michael Jackson funeral, Climategate and Naomi Campbell’s appearance at Charles Taylor’s trial in The Hague."

We're having an election in Manitoba on Oct 4th. As you know, our favorite NDP government has been in power for quite some time. However several polls have shown the PC party is pulling ahead of the NDP. SDA should start a continuing series of "Reason #2324234 why Manitoba will kick out the NDP in October".
