Only a Liberal would impetuously marry someone so juvenile.

If you want to know about climate change, ask a sociologist:

“There is good reason to believe that climate change will become one of the major forces driving crime as the century progresses,” Emory University sociologist Robert Agnew writes in “Dire Forecast: A Theoretical Model of the Impact of Climate Change on Crime,” a study published in Theoretical Criminology last year.

Team Debbie:

The Democratic Party’s newly appointed Jewish outreach liaison is pictured on Facebook in a series of provocative photos with her friends holding dollar bills and referring to themselves as “Jewbags” and the “Jew cash money team." Dani Gilbert, who has been a staffer in the office of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.), was recently appointed as the Democratic National Committee’s Jewish outreach liaison, according to her Twitter feed.

[…]

In one photo, Gilbert is seen kissing paper currency of undetermined denomination. The caption at the bottom of the photo reads “JEWBAGS.” A comment left on the posting refers to Gilbert and a coterie of female companions as the “Jew cash money team.”

"Internal documents obtained by the House Judiciary Committee show that the Obama administration has been 'cooking the books' in order to reach their 'record' number of deported illegal immigrants, chairman Rep. Lamar Smith said Friday.

"Based on the internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) documents, the number of removals are actually down, the opposite of what the administration has been claiming."

If this was a conservative appointed senator:

Do you think the title would read:

"Wife of Canadian senator arrested after disturbance on Saskatoon-bound plane"

And not mention that he was Paul Martin appointee until the very last sentence?

This cries out for a Kate "let me fix that headline for you" segment IMO.

Re: Quando Quando (Kessler Sisters)

Great performance. Sadly, I`ve never seen a real Scopitone. I can see that the novelty would have wore out fast--given the tech that was being developped in the 60`s.

Thanks!!

RE: Headlines that warp reality.

The Saskatoon Star Phoenix does not adhere to the same journalism as its mother ship--the National Post, or its sister ship--the Leader Post. I`ve written countless letters to the editor of the SP--all of which were pro Harper or Pro Wall-never had one published. Never had problems with the LP. Quite surprising given the results of S`toon after the last federal and provincial elections.

Who knows-perhaps they have a cable running to the CBC!!

Am I reading the National Post headline correctly that Liberals have been fined for their part in the Robocall affair:

Quando, Quando, Quando, where did our youth go. Seems like the other day.

Thanks for the entertainment tonight.

Plainzdrifter, that is why we no longer read the Star Phoenix.

Mr. Tulk, good of you to call into Dennis Miller's program on Sarah's last day!

PS You're not the only one burned out from provincial politics!!

Well it's for a good cause.

Globe and Mail, Friday, Aug. 24. "Why we should still care about separatism", by Adam Radwanski.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/commentary/why-we-should-still-care-about-separatism/article4496082/

Within the article there isn't a single reason given why we should still care about separatism. How did Globe editorial come up with the wrong header for it?

Israel faces the cynical world

This week a German doctor in Bavaria filed a criminal complaint against Rabbi David Goldberg.

Rabbi Goldberg's "crime"? He performs ritual circumcisions on Jewish male infants in accordance with Jewish law.

" Outside of Quebec, it was quite normal to describe Catholic immigrants as an unwelcome and dangerous addition – and their “civilization” probably appeared (and in some ways was) more alien to Anglo-Americans than that of most urban Muslims today."

A Globe writer explains why we do not have to fear muslim immigration.They'rs just like the Irish-Catholics, and other nonsense can be found here.

//On the surface the contest is painted as just a humble hunt for the most competent candidate.

Only the naive will be fooled. This is another round in the long-running feud between the old Reform-Progressive factions in the party — or, in more recent times, Wildrose vs. PC. //

From the article --
"Wildrose" -- Joan Crockatt alt. Jon Lord
"Redford" Tory -- Greg McLean

Results today.

All the best to Joan Crockatt.

This is not really a tip, but a request for help. Well, part of it a tip.

We just finished watching The Great Global Warming Swindle this afternoon and it was great. The only problem is that we had to watch it on a cheap Magnasonic DVD player, as it would not play on my computer or in either of our fairly new television DVD players.

Can some of you experts in this sort of thing explain this, and or, know of where to get a version that will play on a computer or a tv DVD player?

In his final column for the Times, Brisbane wrote that his fellow staffers "share a kind of political and cultural progressivism" that "virtually bleeds through the fabric of The Times." Brisbane even argued that Times reporters covered some liberal causes, like gay marriage and the Occupy movement, "more like causes than news subjects."

Conveniently at 12:00 midnight, when unemployed greenies start to stir..... and awaken from hanging upside down.
