Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Another column by Victor Davis Hanson that's worth reading, this one about our "age of statist mythology in which unpleasant facts are replaced by socially useful lies."
Novelist Jack Engelhard, writing in the Washington Times' "Communities" section:
Actually, I'm pretty sure she was from Canada, and that I dated her.
Related: "Engelhard's guide to writing for a world gone berserk."
Popular Science is shutting down its commenting system. I guess all us icky peasants bringing up facts on the falsity of global warming hurt their feelings.
http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-09/why-were-shutting-our-comments
Nothing says scientific advancement and free flow of information like Shut Up You Peasants!
Well, their science isn't as popular as it used to be, and it hurts their feelings to see evidence of that.
Cough-cough:
It's open season on Christians, but we already knew that.
http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2013/09/22/open-season-on-christians/?NewsWatchCanada.ca
Popular Science isn't necessarily the same thing as Factual Science.
Something else the inquiring minds who read Pop-Sci want to know: "Why Dudes Who Can't Smell Never Get Laid"
Mmmm, cinnamon, mmmm
Stupid is, as stupid does. Can Canada be far behind ?

There is "Science" and there is "Popular Science" and there is "Political Science".
One of these is not like the others.
I just looked up Suzanne's Bio. BA in Women's Studies from University of California, and Masters in Journalism from Columbia University.
Exactly the qualifications I look for in the editor of a quality science magazine. I should be listening to her views on science, why exactly? Quite hilarious.
I used to love PopSci. Time for another "Not Waiting for the Asteroid" tag.
The clip about de-worming chickens was interesting.
Reader Tip is in case any of the readers are interested a very effective way of de-worming hogs is to give them small chunks of coal like your parents used in their stoves and furnaces. The hogs just love it and go berserk when you throw the lumps in the pen. The next day you will see the evidence of how well the coal worked. :-)
What's the opposite of diversity?

Re: De-worming hens.
I'm a Sasaktchewan farm boy. That woman needs an education. The stains on the eggs are known as poop. It has nothing to do with worms. And you should avoid cleaning eggs with soap and water. Let the poop dry, and wipe the dirty eggs (lightly) with steel wool or sand paper. When you place an egg in water, it causes bacteria to seep through the shell and into the egg. Eggs are naturally protected against germs. Better yet, change the straw in the nests more often.
I`ve solved the problem years ago. I buy Safeway eggs, white, cleaned and graded. Fry in butter, serve with toast and a piece of sirloin steak.
One thing I can tell you about Becky, She ain't starving!
Richard III had parasitic worms, just like those chickens. Poor guy.
How the hell do you just bury a king under a parking lot in Leicestershire and forget about him? People are nuts.

Also, chickens are not capable of love. Not like cats.
Okay, the cats might be faking it. But at least they, you know, can be bothered. Faking it.
Chickens are lizards with feathers. I ate crocodile once. Tasted like chicken. You know why? Because a crocodile is a big evil murderous swimming chicken without feathers.
They've been known to walk across dry land over a mile to hunt down prey - i.e. you, in your tent, on vacation.
They'll chase you up a tree and wait patiently underneath for days. They're in no hurry. They are horrible dinosaurs. And chickens, while obviously more harmless, are no better, morally.
The clip about de-worming chickens was interesting.
Now if Becky had the treatment for curing our emerald ash borer infected "ash" trees the 18 year old ash trees in our street would still be standing as opposed to be in the tree guys' chipper.
Our street is now bare as the beautiful ash trees are being cut and chipped into the chip pile at Woodstock's waste yard.
Diatomaceous earth won't cut it with the Emerald Ash Borer, Becky!

"This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder."
"The "small people", the "rank and file", the "loyal soldiers" of the narcissist - his flock, his nation, his employees - they pay the price. The disillusionment and disenchantment are agonizing. The process of reconstruction, of rising from the ashes, of overcoming the trauma of having been deceived, exploited and manipulated - is drawn-out. It is difficult to trust again, to have faith, to love, to be led, to collaborate. Feelings of shame and guilt engulf the erstwhile followers of the narcissist. This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder."

One would have thought that for the US government to claim the power to decide what is religious and what is not would be flagrantly unconstitutional on a most fundamental level.
