When Julie Gunlop and her husband recently took their kids to an IHOP for a Father's Day breakfast, they were given crayons and colouring-book-type place-mats that enjoined them to "encourage your family to walk or ride bikes instead of driving a car", and to "give back to the planet", and to "get recycling", and to draw solar panels, and…

"FACT CHECK PLEASE -- the writer of this nonfactual completely incorrect sensational garbage needs to find a new job in no way related to journalism or honesty; because s/he is too lazy to simply Google Tifton 85 and find out that it's a HYBRID grass. Hybrid plants are NOT genetically modified."

"They died from prussic acid poisoning. It is naturally occurring in pasture grass. It may have been in higher concentrations due to sudden grown. They should have known better than to graze the cattle on it."

Who protects the environment better?
The article's conclusion:

The command economies of the 20th Century — particularly Maoist China and Soviet Russia — produced much greater pollution than the free markets. Under a free market, polluters who damage citizens or their property can be held to account in the market place, and through the court system.There is no such mechanism through the kind of command of economy that the centralists seem to wish to implement.

From Chris Vaca's "If Children Are Our Future, We Are In A Lot Of Trouble", at Conservative Daily News:

Scenario: Pedro fails high school English.

1957 – Pedro goes to summer school, passes English and goes to college.

2012 – Pedro’s cause is taken up by the state. Newspaper articles appear nationally explaining that knowing English as a requirement for graduating is racist. ACLU files class action lawsuit against state school system and Pedro’s English teacher. English banned from core curriculum. Pedro given diploma anyway, but ends up mowing lawns for a living because he cannot speak English.

"Don’t worry about the ickle birdies"

"By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley in Rio de Janeiro

“BUT what about the ickle birdies?” wailed the ancient, off-blonde representative of the planet’s indigenous peoples in the shapeless, grimy, crumpled eco-sackcloth shift that is de rigueur this season among the female of the species here at the shapeless, grimy, crumpled Rio conference center.

“Don’t you care? Because of global warming the ickle wormies that the ickle birdies eat won’t hatch out at the right time for the ickle birdies to eat them and the ickle birdies will all die! Don’t you even care about all the millions of humans that are running away from all those droughts and floods and things? It’s all our fault!”

She got up untidily and flounced out (insofar as it is possible to flounce convincingly while wearing hemp flip-flops and a shapeless, grimy, gray eco-sackcloth shift)."

A History Test...

Please pause a moment, reflect back, and take the following multiple choice test. The events are actual cuts from past history. They actually happened!

Do you remember?

1. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnaped and massacred by:
a. Olga Corbitt
b. Sitting Bull
c. Arnold Schwartzeneger
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 & 40

2. In 1979, the U.S. embassy in Iran was taken over by:
a. Lost Norwegians
b. Elvis
c. A tour bus full of 80-year-old women
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 & 40.

3. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnaped in Lebanon by:
a. John Dillinger
b. The King of Sweden
c. The Boy Scouts
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 & 40

4. In 1983, the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by:
a. A pizza delivery boy
b. Pee Wee Herman
c. Geraldo Rivera
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 & 40

5. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by:
a. The Smurfs
b. Davy Jones
c. The Little Mermaid

c. Mother Teresa
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 & 40

7. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by:
a. Scooby Doo
b. The Tooth Fairy
c. Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 & 40

8. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by:
a. Richard Simmons
b. Grandma Moses
c. Michael Jordan
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 & 40

9. In 1998, the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by:
a. Mr. Rogers
b. Hillary, to distract attention from Wild Bill' s women problems
c. The World Wrestling Federation
d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 & 40

10. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take out the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted, crashed by the passengers attempting to save themselves. Thousands of people were killed by:

12. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnaped and murdered by:
a. Bonny and Clyde

d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 & 40

Do we see a pattern here to justify profiling, or don't you?

So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people.

They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning former Governors.

And leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 & 40 alone because of profiling.

Lets send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense feel doubly ashamed of themselves if they have any such sense.

As the writer of the award winning story "Forest Gump" so aptly put it,

A good weld is actually stronger than the parent materials, by as much as 10%. Remember the Saturn commercial a few years ago where the two men were testing a brand new chassis by ripping it apart with air chisels? The steel around the welds was torn apart but the spot welds did not separate.

"Vestas shuts Chinese turbine plant as demand cools"

"Vestas to stop production at Hohhot plant, cut jobs

* Sees low demand for small turbines

* Analysts say winning back investor confidence will take time

* Shares near year low (Adds details, background, quotes, share price)"

"COPENHAGEN, June 25 (Reuters) - Vestas, the world's biggest wind turbine manufacturer, is closing a factory in China with the loss of up to 350 jobs, it said on Monday, just three days after scrapping plans for a factory in Britain as demand slides.

Once a darling of investors, the renewable energy sector is struggling in the global economic slowdown as support for wind power and other renewable sources has been hit by government spending cuts and a downgrading of growth prospects."

Cyprus has applied to Europe for a bailout, as Spain’s banks are downgraded. The Supreme Court decision on Obamacare is expected in 72 hours. The House will probably holder AG Holder in contempt. George Soros says Germany’s refusal to pick up the tab or agree to a banking union may mean the end of the European project.

Heck, we ain’t even into the middle of the week.

I'm thinking Dr. J Daniels or Mr.Smirnoff, Rita. It must have been a small windmill because I doubt that a regular truck could take down a big windtower. Twenty year or so from now when the windtowers are standing junk they might want to use one of these trucks to bring 'em down.

Al_in_Ottawa said,

"...A good weld is actually stronger than the parent materials, by as much as 10%..."

true, and the extreme heat of welding causes the parent material to become a bit weaker right on the edge of the weld.

That video shows faith in their machinery. Wonder if he would have tried that if the machine had been made in China ?
