  1. A Canadian website with the weird name “Small Dead Animals” is ranked in the Top 150 Conservative Websites, based on Alexa traffic ranking.
    Btw, the competition includes newspapers like the Washington Examiner, the Telegraph, the Spectator, the NY Post, etc., and media sites like Fox News.

  2. Keeping it on the straight and narrow:

    Democratic Party Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz sat down with Candy Crowley on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday morning to discuss Obamacare failures. Like a mantra, Wasserman Schultz proceeded to repeat the terms “Tea Party,” “extremists,” and “war on women,” even when those answers had nothing to do with the question being asked..

  7. Peter, the Drudge Report linked to the same article, but in ‘The New York Times,’ today.

  9. From an Andrew Bolt column titled “97 per cent of warmists cite a 97 per cent that’s false“, published in Australia’s Herald Sun:

    The 97.1 % consensus claimed by Cook et al. (2013) turns out upon inspection to be not 97.1 % but 0.3 %. Their claim of 97.1 % consensus, therefore, is arguably one of the greatest items of misinformation that has been circulated on either side of the climate debate.

  11. How are their feet going to reach the pedals?
    http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2013/11/07/safety-institute-suggests-booster-seats-until-kids-reach-12/

    …experts are reminding parents that seat belts were built for adults, so children may need to stay in booster seats much longer than is legally required. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is suggesting that may be as old as 12.

    I’ll bet many SDA readers were already driving at that age.

  12. The worm is turning, check out Jo Nova’s latest posting.

    Her eyes, golden locks… my DNA. Made in heaven.

  15. I’ll bet many SDA readers were already driving at that age.

    .. was driving THE COMBINE at that age.. with the straight cut header even, and the grain truck (but not on the road).

    “For Canada, a victory worth remembrance”
    “One great Canadian campaign, however, remains all but unknown. The Hundred Days, that short period running from Aug. 8, 1918, to the armistice on Nov. 11, saw the Canadian Corps score victory after victory against the toughest German defences on the Western Front. The Hundred Days was unquestionably the most decisive campaign ever fought by Canadian troops in battle, and if we remember the losses and pain on Remembrance Day, we should also remember the Canadian triumphs that dramatically shortened the First World War.
    Lieutenant-General Sir Arthur Currie led the Canadian Corps’ four divisions from June, 1917, to the end of the war.”

  23. French Farce Farceur?
    Will a Frenchy Slay AGW? Possible? Or, beget a farce?
    “The future of a global climate agreement may rely on a French minister wielding a gavel.”

    “Global Warming Talks Risk Fizzling as Rules Snarl Debate”
    “The future of a global climate agreement may rely on a French minister wielding a gavel.
    That’s because the annual talks aimed at limiting temperature increases never agreed on voting rules. Every move requires consensus, and it’s up to the chair to decide what that means.
    The result is negotiations that often seem to go nowhere and at times descend into farce. When last year’s conference ran overtime in Doha, the Qatari statesman presiding gaveled through a series of decisions as Russian envoy Oleg Shamanov frantically banged his nameplate on the desk.
    “Hearing no objections, it is so decided,” Abdullah Bin Hamad Al Attiyah, Qatar’s former deputy prime minister, said with each verdict. Environmental groups cheered and circulated a photo of a grinning Al Attiyah captioned “Hammer time.” Shamanov wasn’t smiling.”

  24. Terry Milewski pathetic defence of JT’s China remarks:
    http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/justin-trudeau-applauds-china-but-then-so-does-stephen-harper-1.2422068
    Hint: It’s Harper’s fault. When he said China was making incremental steps towards reform and were not practicing a Maoist communist model (debatable IMO), he was agreeing with Trudeau that dictatorships “get things done.”
    While JT shares his father’s zeal to control society, he lacks the intelligence, shrewdness and panache to carry it off. JTs father at the same age would have been unacceptable to Canadians and PM, and needed bedrock support in Quebec to carry the day. Walking into the PM’s office didn’t hurt either. JT shares none of those attributes.

  26. Very INTERESTING, especially after that “Rob Ford will be gone soon” opinion piece in the Globe and Mail by a professor at the U or T who is eager to re-design the way Toronto city and the mayoralty chair function.
    “ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Days after a Republican was elected mayor of Annapolis, City Council members say they will revisit legislation that would strip the mayor’s office of much of its power.
    Democratic Alderman Ross Arnett of Ward 8 tells The Capital he will introduce a charter amendment to move Annapolis to a council-manager style of government. The city manager would report directly to the City Council, not the mayor.”

    “Protesters disrupt French ceremony to mark end of WWI to call for unpopular president Francois Hollande to resign”
    “PARIS — France’s unpopular president ignored jeers by protesters as he laid flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier during a ceremony marking the end of World War I.
    Francois Hollande paraded up the Champs Elysees avenue to the Arc de Triomphe monument under sunny skies Monday to outbursts of loud booing from small pockets of the crowd lining his route.
    Shouts of “Hollande resign!” rang out and some demonstrators wore the red caps that have come to symbolize an anti-tax movement that has caused violent protests in Brittany in recent weeks.”

    “Hope* is charming, lively, blue-eyed wench, & I am always glad of her company, but could dispense with the visitor she brings with her, her younger sister, fear*, a white liver’d-lilly-cheeked, bashful palpitating, awkward hussey that hangs like a green girl at her sister’s apron strings & will go with her whithersoever she goes.”
    (Letters of Charles and Mary Anne Lamb)

  31. You’re right, down the line.
    That Mr. Milewski feels able to conflate Mr. Harper’s encouragement of capitalistic economic policies with Mr. Trudeau, Jr.’s embrace of China’s political dictatorship on the supposed basis of (non-existent) environmental achievements is exclusively a statement about Mr. Milewski.

  32. Hey chutzpahticular @ 1:24 pm, I just knew they would get around to forming soviets in the current radical leftists have a right to rule.

  34. Milewski mostly fumbles the ball. He tries to juxtapose Justin Trudeau’s praise for China because of its dictatorship with Stephen Harper’s praise of it for freeing its economy. This may be another example of the left’s tactic of blurring the distinction between freedom and coercion. Or it may be just a less than stellar ability to think.
    However, he does at least point out that despite his seeming praise for China’s allegedly market-oriented economy, Harper (properly in my opinion) won’t let its state enterprises take over Canadian companies, which he finds a bit inconsistent. That’s probably a fair point.
