  10. Thanks for that clip EBD – an amazing performance and I’ll have to find out more about this instrument. I already consider Jimi Hendrix as one of the all time greatest musicians and this rendition of Voodoo Chile was amazingly true to how Hendrix would have played it.

  15. Delingpole’s entire column is about how warmers distort people’s words to shut down debate… and they respond by claiming he’s calling for death penalties. This has got to be the most irresponsible reaction of the entire debate.

  16. EBD, when I clicked on the link you provided about supporting fellow bloggers, I got an anti-virus pop up from Kaspersky. Hmmmm …

  19. In reference to all the folks outraged at RBC hiring foriegn workers, just want to know if they will be just as outraged at those massage parlours in Toronto that enable the practice of human traficking by using illegals?
    Just raise the plaque on Dundas.

    “Introduction”
    “Guards played an integral role in the Gulag system. Soviet authorities indoctrinated them with propaganda emphasizing that they battled evil enemies of the state and were encouraged to treat prisoners brutally to prevent their escape. Guards endured only slightly better working conditions than prisoners in the brutal cold of Siberia.”

    “Late Push on War Crimes: Prosecutors to Probe 50 Auschwitz Guards”
    “Prosecutors have obtained a list of 50 former Auschwitz guards still alive in Germany and will investigate whether they can stand trial. Guards at other death camps and members of the feared Einsatzgruppen death squads are also being traced in a late push to bring the surviving perpetrators of the Holocaust to justice.”

  22. The left-liberal donkey refrain: It’s not fair*.
    “Which is to say that Bill Clinton would have been a much greater President than Reagan if only history had been fair.”

    “Margaret Thatcher”
    “Even in the timing of her death Margaret Thatcher had that quality which Bill Clinton unsuccessfully sought. Bill Steel, reviewing Clinton’s biography, examined the question of why Clinton missed ‘greatness’ and concludes that he will find in posterity “the greatness that once seemed within his grasp”.
    the current veneration of Reagan, which rests entirely on a sentimentalization of his carefully crafted persona, will seem incomprehensible a decade or two from now. To be sure, great leaders are judged not only by what they do, but also by what they might have done with the powers and abilities they had.
    Which is to say that Bill Clinton would have been a much greater President than Reagan if only history had been fair. Some say that greatness is a chancy thing when the Hour asks the question and the Man must give the answer. But Bill Clinton was not a “war President”. He was ready with the punch line, too bad history forgot the script. Was it his fault if he stood over home plate yet the pitch never came?
    Yet Margaret Thatcher will not be remembered for that minor conflict which we call the Falklands War. It will be for her role in the fall of the Soviet Union. And therein lies the crux of the matter. To understand the challenge — to hear the question — is perhaps the greatest obstacle to greatness on history’s stage.
    The great achievement of Reagan, Thatcher and the Pope lay in remembering that Communism was an evil thing. ”

  23. The Liberanos live on:
    Feds hit with $30M judgment for unfair bidding process
    11:21 am, April 8th, 2013
    OTTAWA – A scathing legal judgment has found the federal government improperly awarded multibillion-dollar contracts, turning a blind eye as the winning bidder used “insider knowledge” and a cozy relationship with evaluators to enrich itself.
    Judge Peter Annis ordered the feds to pay losing bidder Envoy Relocation Services nearly $30 million in a decision released Saturday.
    “Envoy should have been declared the winner,” Annis found.
    The case turned on the award of relocation contracts for members of the Canadian Forces, civil service and the RCMP.
    Royal LePage Relocation Services had been hired to set up a pilot project in 1999 to facilitate the moves of itinerant federal employees.

  25. That Korean girl rocks out! Love the facial expressions. She’s trying for smooth-faced geisha and almost getting it, but there’s that eyebrow just FEELING the string bend…
    I love YouTube. 🙂

  30. Heh, the words ‘musical wreck’ come to mind. Those psychedelics must have been working particularly good when he wrote that noise.
