  1. MSNBC Host Suggests That Someone Should Defecate in Sarah Palin’s Mouth.”
    Later,
    “MSNBC’s Martin Bashir: Hey, Sorry For Saying Someone Should ‘Sh*t’ In Sarah Palin’s Mouth…”

    “My words were wholly unacceptable. They were neither accurate nor fair… we (at MSNBC) try every day to elevate public discourse..”

    Of course they do.

  2. Gordon Curl in the Washington Times: The beginning of the end for Barack Obama
    Excerpt:

    But there has never, ever, been a more pitiful presser than the one conducted last week by President Obama. In a nutshell, he said sure, everything’s a mess, but he just didn’t know. Introspective for the first time, he acknowledged he “fumbled the rollout” of Obamacare, said his “you can keep it” pledge “ended up not being accurate” and admitted that his “credibility” is in the dumper. And he tossed out this gem: “What we’re also discovering is that insurance is complicated to buy.” Ya think?

  3. Google ‘news for Bitcoin’
    Today the Fed sounded accommodating to the virtual currency that some think could be a world currency of reserve. China seems to be interested. Too much central bank money printing lately? Is this where Keynesian free lunch economics will lead to?
    The Bitcoin market today had an opinion.
    Beginning of the month $200. Today between $650 to $750.

  4. After Rex Murphy criticized Justin Trudeau on his “Point of View” segment on The National, someone named Stephanie C. tweeted “He sounds jealous”. Katherine Monk, a journalist/reviewer who works at the CBC, Global, and Postmedia, re-tweeted the tweet, and added —

    exactly… don’t hate Justin just cuz he gets laid

    More of Katherine Monk’s twitty remarks at BC Blue.

  5. No one serious has claimed that bitcoin is some kind of solution to theft. When people say it’s secure they mean from government intervention.

  6. Re the NYT. They have had at least eight decades of experience. Walter Duranty shilling for Uncle Joe.

    “Spain issues arrest order for China’s ex-leader”
    “MADRID – Spain’s National Court has issued arrest orders for former Chinese president Jiang Zemin and four other Chinese officials as part of a probe into alleged genocide by China against Tibet.
    The court said Tuesday it has accepted arguments from Spanish pro-Tibet rights groups that said international reports indicate the five may have had a role in the alleged genocide and should be questioned. Those officials also include former Prime Minister Li Peng.”

    “Peter Foster: Justin Trudeau and China Derangement Syndrome”
    “Dictatorship – that is, control of people’s lives – has always been the central motivating force of leftist ideology
    Justin Trudeau’s mind may be a bit like a teenager’s bedroom, but the Liberal leader’s recent praise for Chinese dictatorship was surely more a case of careless wording than careless thought. He used “dictatorship” when he should have used something like “sustainable well-designed central coordination.”

  8. Toronto’s reputation is about to hit rock bottom”
    “Sideshow Sarah Thomson is going to be on Piers Morgan’s CNN show to “rehabilitate” our image.
    Everything that the city rejected from the political and social so-called “elites” in Toronto that led to Rob Ford’s election is embodied in the vapidity, two-faced sanctimony, attention-whoring and creepiness of Sideshow Sarah.
    If she’s ever considered the the face of Toronto, we’re really in deep shit.
    UPDATE: Here’s the sanctimonious, self-promoting hypocrite on Morgan’s show (click link)”

  9. Counties With Highest Execution Rates More Likely to Violate Due Process for Defendants
    http://reason.com/blog/2013/11/19/execution-rate-no-due-process#comments
    When reform-minded District Attorney Pat Lykos (a pro-death penalty Republican, by the way) took over in 2008, she set out to look for innocent people convicted under the lock-’em-up-and-throw-away-the-key approach of her predecessors. Since 2008, there have been 11 exonerations Harris County.
    The Virtuous DA. Like finding a unicorn.

  11. You keep making this silly assertion that Red Green is an eco-nut. Where is your proof for slagging Red Green or Possum Lodge?

  12. I don’t think there’s any doubt about it, when you watch (listen to) the abjectly-worded nature of the apology.
