    We can drive, or we can eat.
    We can’t do both.
    I think we picked the wrong one.

  4. Mark Steyn: Obama builds roadblocks, not roads
    Instead of roads and bridges, Obama-sized government funds stasis and sclerosis: The Hoover Dam of regulatory obstruction, the Golden Gateway to dependency.
    Because that’s not what Big Government does: Money-no-object government spends more and more money for less and less objects. For all the American economy has to show for it, President Bob the Builder took just shy of a trillion dollars in stimulus, stuck it in his wheelbarrow, pushed it halfway across the Golden Gate Bridge, and tossed it into the Pacific.

  5. Mark Steyn hosted Rush Limbaugh’s show on Friday. There was one extended segment where he & a caller discussed Canadian superhero characters.
    It was a most hilarious few minutes on an otherwise difficult day.

  6. ron in kelowna, I agree with the assessment in the links you provided. Even though the corn used in ethanol if animal feed, this puts pressure on the other human food grains. A major drought anywhere drives the prices higher as all the companies in the system want to protect their supply of product. Using grain of any sort in the manufacture of fuel is evil, especially as their are ample supplies of oil. Grain byproducts after food production are a different story.
    Today’s Barchart Futures:
    Minneapolis Spring Wheat was $10:31
    Corn was $8.24
    Soybeans was $17.57.

  7. Cross posted but worth a repeat.
    You might remember that the Navy recently signed a fuel contract with Dynamic Fuels, a joint venture of Tyson and Syntroleum (NAS: SYNM) , which subcontracted a large amount of the production out to Solazyme (NAS: SZYM) .
    The contract was worth $12 million for 450,000 gallons worth of biofuel. Basic math tells you how lousy the Navy is at basic math: Every gallon will cost it $26.67, or $1,120 per barrel’s worth. Even if costs are ever reduced to reasonable levels, which is doubtful, biofuel production demands vast swaths of arable land to produce any meaningful quantities.

    And we think our leaders are intelligent ??

  9. This is the wrong thread, and I aplogise because. I’ve no idea how to start a thread, nor if any are readily accempted.
    I’m just going to bitch about both Tim Hortons, and Canadian Tire.
    First, Tim Hortons has the absolute most repulsive anti white-male, pro feminist commercials that I believe have ever existed. We all know that that commercials lean towards the female buying demographic, but Tim Horton’s seems to revel in the stupidity of it’s male audience.
    Watch ANY commercial, and I mean any, and the white guy is barely able to function, despite clearly being the CEO of a major company, without his wife stopping him from eating ear wax.
    Next is Canadian Tire, and it’s NOW refusal to say Christmas. The company that once brought us Scrooge, and the appreciation of Christmas, now refuses to even say the word.
    Tim Hortons, for not only refusing Christmas, but its OBVIOUS hate for white men, and Canadadian Tire, for it’s absolute 180 on Christmas. Sorry, I hate you both

  10. B’ready.. It’s frustrating isn’t it.. I used to say that if I had the brains, time and energy, I would write a book on what this cancer of political correctness has cost us as a society. But I don’t and never will have the capacity to do it. I believe it all started with the feminist’s movement, where we started to change the language, eg;chairman-chairpersons, and other silly things.

  13. B’Ready. I wrote to Tim Hortons about 2 years ago regarding their anti male commercials. Got a reply saying they didn’t mean to offend anyone. The commercials continue and I haven’t been to a Tims in over 2 years. Don’t miss the line ups, the over-priced coffee, or the stale sandwitches. I think Tims and a few other companies all use the same Toronto ad agency run by some divorced women who all majored in bitter womens studies.

  16. Vancouver has released a planning document that outlines how the city will respond to what they believe will be a two meter sea levvel rise by 2050.
    Too much green moss growing in the vacant space between their ears to actually look at the real data rather than trust fear mongering “experts” .
    Here’s the real data.
    http://www.psmsl.org/data/obtaining/stations/175.php
    Nothing to actually worry about except Mayor Moonbeam and his fellow Eco Nutter morons running the city and trying to foist their greenie religious nostrums on long suffering tax payers.

  19. Toying with the PC fools at Tim Horton’s can bring a little sunshine into an increasingly dreary PC world.
    Fer example:
    I ordered a double-double and a paki.
    The clerk, aghast, runs for her manager.
    Manager comes to ask what I would like.
    I again order a double-double and a paki.
    Almost spitting nails, he asks what a “paki” is.
    I explain it’s a squareishm donut but no hole, with raisins and cinnamon.
    He haughtily advises that that is a “DUTCHIE”.
    I go ballistic reminding the racist bastard that I am Dutch, consider “dutchie” to be offensive, a racial slur, and that he and his Dutch-hating restaurant are all going to be reported to the OHRC.

  20. GREEN CORRUPTION
    One of the biggest scandals of the Obama presidency has yet to be exposed in its entirety… The Solyndra Saga is just the tip of the iceberg –– cronyism and corruption are the driving forces behind the tens of billions of green-energy (taxpayer) dollars (loans, grants, etc.) –– the majority going to President Obama and Democrat “friends.” Obama’s Green Corruption is the largest, most expensive and deceptive case of crony capitalism in American history. Stay tuned…

    “This is the wrong thread, and ….”
    You did fine. Readers tips is on any subject.

  26. Gord Tulk @ 8;36,thanks for that link, Kinsella just doesn’t get any smarter with the passing of time,does he?

  27. I completely agree with the people who hate those stupid ads where the women are all smug and hyper-competent and the men (always white, of course, wouldn’t want to offend anybody) are pathetic useless idiots. They’ve been around for years. Imagine a commercial where the wife was a brainless ditz and the eye-rolling husband was kind enough to put up with her. To the extent that I can image it, it’s in black and white, and I think there’s a bit of I Love Lucy in there.
    It’s just embarrassing. These companies are obviously targeting those women who’ve spent the last 30-odd years thinking that that “fish-bicycle” line was witty.

  29. @ Jema54
    Wow. I don’t have a tin foil hat but that is certainly food for thought. Good link.

  34. “happey infidel” @ 7:11 a.m.:
    Political correctness did not start with feminism. It started in the 1920s, as Marxists decided to recruit minorities and the “underclass” as a substitute working class for the purpose of attempting to overthrow capitalism.
    Here’s a video on the subject:

    I would claim a notable omission is any discussion of the influence of Antonio Gramsci, but it’s a good start.

  35. Gord Tulk @ 8:36 a.m.:
    I think that most of us here would agree that the problem with gun control is that if you ban guns, the only people who will have them are the government and the criminals, and it will quickly become very difficult to distinguish between the two. And only a f–ing idiot wouldn’t understand this.

  36. nv53.. Thank you for the heads up. I didn’t become aware of “MY” brand of it until I really started to pay attention to what was going on in the world,(having too much fun/not taking things too seriously)It was called the 60’s.They say if you remember the 60’s, you weren’t there, for a reason.

  37. Also, if you were there, you were the guy with the tweed hat,scraggly wispy beard sitting in the corner with your’e pink granny glasses reading a book of Marxist poetry, while I was the guy with long hair in a biker jacket looking at you and sucking on any form of vegetation that came my way. Ahhh! The girls,patchouli oil,incense, the good old days. You the hippy intellectual, me the greaser. Just speculation on my part, and not meant as a put-down fore sure.
