"Al Gore Holds 24 Hour Global Warming Event on YouTube… Garners Whopping 707 Views Worldwide…"

From Fred Reed's "Ideas for a Better Nation:

Mr. Sharpton has said that bringing slaves in chains to America was a terrible thing. I would like him to know that a great many white people could not agree more. However, as long as we are balancing the financial books, there are other matters pecuniary that merit attention. I believe that we whites should pay such debts as we owe, with accrued interest, but I also believe that in honor others should do the same.

For example, as a white American, I think that African Americans and Indians should pay us royalties for the use of our civilization. I do not propose a great exaction, but only a reasonable fee for enjoyment of contributions that whites have made and that others use. I mean things such as telephones, air conditioning, flush toilets, democracy, civil rights, antibiotics, running shoes, and the machines that read EBT cards. Also paved roads. Cars. Computers. Electricity. Clean water. Those sorts of things.

I mentioned this before but it bears repeating: the WRA is dead. At least where it counts.

I so much love this song. Thanks EBD.

'Love Bonnie Raitt. Just wish her politics weren't so lefty. Par for the course with most of our entertainers though.

Thanks, EBD.

Richard Thompson has a lovely smile.

Re: WildRose AGM

Seems Danielle Smith has undergone an epiphany of sorts and is now embracing man-made climate change.
She's finally mustered up the courage to admit her real motives.

From Orwell's 1984:

The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites."

Here is another great Mark Steyn article about CGI, Obamacare, and the old Canadian gun registry fiasco:

"“This was a message for the US, not the UN,”.

"Saudi Arabia’s message to Obama"

"President Obama came to office vowing to improve US relations with the Arab world. He gave his first formal interview as president to the Saudi-funded al-Arabiya TV. On one occasion he even bowed to the Saudi king. But symbols and gestures are no substitute for wise and effective foreign policy. You don’t have to like the Saudis to understand, or share, their concern."
