Tonight, Icelandic indie-folk group Árstíðir forgo their instruments and gather in a train station to sing an a cappella version of an old Icelandic hymn, the lyrics of which were written in the 13th Century, called Heyr himna smiður ("Hear Heaven's Carpenter").

MSNBC live on-screen caption: "GOP Flubs Obamacare Launch."

Just what we suspected. To have the planet renew itself we just need less government.

Muslim immigrants gang rape 12-year-old Norwegian girl, get community service.

That'll teach 'em….about the West.

The prosecutor in the case, a woman named Kaja Strandjord, had suggested a sentence of 240 to 360 hours of community service, but the magistrate, Lisa Elin Bech, disagreed with the prosecutor's recommendation and cut the suggested number of hours of community service in half.

Ontario electricity rates have only gone up 140% since 2007. Still lot's of room to go higher and no use checking to see if windmills might have been a mistake. Government is never wrong.

All of Obama's worshipers, bidders and minions are lining up to fight his next fight for him:

Imagine that, the CEO of a publicly traded company pandering to those who break immigration laws. Only in Obama's America.

Great tip, Revnant.

Thanks for that. Hope everyone reads it.

Remember the good ol' days when you could make a living without government interference or busybodies telling you how to run your own enterprise ? The Box Factory still does, although now that they put it on youtube I would guess their days are numbered.

Hi. My name is Jeffrey Lewis Cosford. I experienced a remarkable thing tonight and am very concerned. A horrendous crime was committed and the man who did it should be punished, however this should not be licence for at least 4 firemen and another 4 police officers to be hanging around.
They were doing nothing. Firstly I witnessed the act and so when I crossed the line to inquire as to why all these bureaucrats were standing around doing nothing. I was immediately arrested. By the time they walked me to the car they decided to let me go.

I believe and am supposed to trust these folks to serve and protect. seems to me they are there to pad their paychecks.

The RCMP are badly tarnished by this event. Is that what I am supposed to do watch as men who stand there for no other reason but to pad their paycheck. They did nothing. I am so disappointed in what is an institution that we have trusted is now just a way to suck cash. Remember there was a time of the voluntary fireman.

I do apologize I have been out drinking and partying. Nevertheless it does not give licence to those who we pay and entrust with our safety the right to strong arm anyone who questions what they are doing. Had it been reasonable and necessary I would have not said a word,however they did nothing but stand there. I as well as you are paying for this. It is theft . How can one trust those that will steal from those they are required to protect. This for me is a very dire situation.

O'narcissist*:

But Saudi Arabia, Israel, the UK, other nations, are, or should I say, WERE, expecting Obama to act and function as the President of a Nation. But Obama has no relationship or involvement with America or indeed with any 'reality' outside of his own psychological nature and needs.

Obama is abysmally ignorant of history, of economics; he knows nothing and has no interest in knowing anything of the nature of the Middle East, of the realities of economies entrapped within 16th century tribal modes that lack a private sector middle class.

Obama is uninterested in foreign affairs because his focus is confined, because of his psychological pathology, on what and who he can control. If he feels that he cannot control other people and/or a situation then, those people and that situation quite literally cease to exist for him.

He's a community organizer because that puts him in a position of authoritarian control over others. He's an incessant campaigner because that puts him in a position of manipulative control over others with his rhetoric immune to questions, to facts, to truth, to reality.

He is NOT a national leader not only because of his historic and economic ignorance, but because he is psychologically unable to sit down with others, and accept them as both equal and intelligent and collaborators. His pyschological need to control others requires that his interactions with others are confined to sycophants and mindless followers.

When he has to deal with people who disagree with him, his immediate reaction is defensive; he tries to retain superior control by reminding them that "I'm the President'; he belittles, mocks, insults them.

Obama's disastrous ventures on the foreign stage - everything from backing the Argeninian take-over of the British Falkland Islands, his insults to and denigration of Israel, his rebuffing of Canada, one of the most important large economies in the world;".

'Glad you like and posted the haunting Icelandic hymn, EBD. Gracias!

Here are the lyrics:


Heyr, himna smiður (Hear, Heavenly Creator)

Listen, smith of the heavens,
what the poet asks.
May softly come unto me
your mercy.
So I call on thee,
for you have created me.
I am thy slave,
you are my Lord.

God, I call on thee to heal me.
Remember me, mild one, (or mild king. This is a pun on the word mildingur).
Most we need thee.
Drive out, O king of suns,
generous and great,
every human sorrow
from the city of the heart.

Watch over me, mild one,
Most we need thee,
truly every moment
in the world of men.
send us, son of the virgin,
good causes,
all aid is from thee,
in my heart.

semite
- Kolbeinn Tumason (1173–1208)

SW Ontario anti-wind turbine rally an "overwhelming success".
Over 120 vehicles and 15 farm equipment vehicles are participating in the + 1 mile convoy,
blocking the eastbound lanes of highway 402. Heavy police presence but absolutely no incidents so far. No activists,Indians,Hippies or other unsavory characters in evidence. Just honest hardworking farmers and their supporters. Chalk one up for the good guys!
