  1. Seems LAS, phil and john were buds, but tragically LAS sucumbs in a fire and his body is burned pretty badly.
    The morgue needed someone to identify the body, so they
    sent for his two best deer-hunting friends, phil and john.
    The three men had always hunted and fished together and
    were long time members of a hunt camp.
    phil arrived first, and when the mortician pulled back the
    sheet, phil said, ‘Yup, his face is burned up pretty bad.
    You better roll him over.’
    The mortician rolled him over and phil said,
    ‘Nope, ain’t LAS’
    The mortician thought this was rather strange.
    So he brought john in to confirm the identity of the body.
    john looked at the body and said, ‘Yup, he’s
    pretty well burnt up. Roll him over.. ‘
    The mortician rolled him over and john said,
    ‘No, it ain’t LAS’
    The mortician asked, ‘How can you tell?’
    john said, ‘Well, LAS had two asshol*s.’
    ‘What? He had two asshol*s?’ asked the mortician.
    ‘Yup, we never seen ’em, but everybody used to say:
    ‘There’s LAS with them two asshol*s.’

  2. Muzzie shop keeper must have been offended. After all, it is a large Union Jack, being carried by a small pregnant woman, so you can see why he would be intimidated and require a police presence to cart her off the street.
    I’d say good ol’ English bobbies, but then we know it’s the sort of thing every police force in Canada would do if one such a one complained.

    “Mayor Bloomberg went on a spitting-mad rant against a city cab-fleet boss who won a court victory over Hizzoner’s planned “Taxi of Tomorrow” — vowing to “destroy your f–king industry” when he leaves office, The Post has learned.”

    For what it’s worth, the objection to the “Taxi of Tomorrow” seems to be that it isn’t wheelchair accessible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicabs_of_New_York_City#2010s_.E2.80.93_Taxi_of_Tomorrow

    “Where’s spring? Upstate New York gets 3 feet of snow on Memorial Day weekend”
    “WILMINGTON, N.Y. – A Memorial Day weekend storm has dropped three feet of snow on a New York ski mountain near the Vermont boarder.
    Whiteface Mountain spokesman Jon Lundin says 36 inches of white powder has blanketed the nearly 5,000-foot tall mountain in the Adirondacks. That has forced the Olympic Regional Development Authority to close Whiteface Veteran’s Memorial Highway on the backside of the mountain.”

  5. I have not seen this readily available, so I thought I would post it here. This is the suicide note (translated) of Dominique Venner who killed himself last week in Notre Dame Cathedral. He protests gay marriage, but also the demise of his culture:
    I am healthy in body and mind, and I am filled with love for my wife and children. I love life and expect nothing beyond, if not the perpetuation of my race and my mind. However, in the evening of my life, facing immense dangers to my French and European homeland, I feel the duty to act as long as I still have strength. I believe it necessary to sacrifice myself to break the lethargy that plagues us. I give up what life remains to me in order to protest and to found. I chose a highly symbolic place, the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris, which I respect and admire: she was built by the genius of my ancestors on the site of cults still more ancient, recalling our immemorial origins.
    While many men are slaves of their lives, my gesture embodies an ethic of will. I give myself over to death to awaken slumbering consciences. I rebel against fate. I protest against poisons of the soul and the desires of invasive individuals to destroy the anchors of our identity, including the family, the intimate basis of our multi-millennial civilization. While I defend the identity of all peoples in their homes, I also rebel against the crime of the replacement of our people.
    The dominant discourse cannot leave behind its toxic ambiguities, and Europeans must bear the consequences. Lacking an identitarian religion to moor us, we share a common memory going back to Homer, a repository of all the values ​​on which our future rebirth will be founded once we break with the metaphysics of the unlimited, the baleful source of all modern excesses.
    I apologize in advance to anyone who will suffer due to my death, first and foremost to my wife, my children, and my grandchildren, as well as my friends and followers. But once the pain and shock fade, I do not doubt that they will understand the meaning of my gesture and transcend their sorrow with pride. I hope that they shall endure together. They will find in my recent writings intimations and explanations of my actions.
    Note
    For more information, one can go to my publisher, Pierre-Guillaume Roux. He was not informed of my decision, but he has known me a long time.

  6. “…the love of money is the root of all evil…” – 1 Ti 6:10
    This goes back many years. The 1930’s are an example of their power.

  7. http://www.pacc-news.com/5-2-12/heart_ingram5_2_12.html
    For the past 15 years, Ingram said he has been conducting research on the effects of Round-Up on honeybees. He feels he had accumulated the necessary data to document the fact that Round-Up was not only the cause of his bees dying, but also possibly the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).
    “Is Illinois becoming a police state, where citizens do not have rights?” Ingram asked in desperation. “Knowing that Monsanto and the Dept. of Ag are in bed together, one has to wonder if Monsanto was behind the theft to ruin my research that may prove Round-Up was, and is, killing honeybees. Beekeepers across the state are being threatened that the same thing may be done to their hives and livelihood. I was not treated properly, I don’t want to see this happen to anyone else in this state, and I want this type of illegal action to end.”
    What is most disturbing to the Ingrams is that the State Department of Agriculture came in and inspected their hives when they were not home and without due process, took their bees and hives.

    “Germans getting electric cars – whether they want them or not”
    “Chancellor Angela Merkel has reaffirmed her target to bring one million electric cars onto German roads by the end of the decade, despite weak interest from consumers.
    Her government is hosting a two-day industry summit in Berlin to promote the fledgling technology, after fewer than 3,000 electric cars were sold in Germany last year out of a total market that exceeded 3 million.”
