Reader Tips

To save you from exposure to HDS (Harper Derangement Syndrome), here's the condensed version of Star columnist Tim Harper's "Stephen Harper Spinning Gold From His Little Iraq War":

Stephen Harper's propaganda video network…flag-waving…jingoistic…Dirty Harry…tough guy prime minister….lock up our prisoners and toss away the key…preying on emotions….patriotism, vengeance, fear….misled the country…mission creep…George W. Bush…Harper has co-opted these soldiers…the Conservatives would have us all hoard scrap iron and give up our nylons for the war effort..

I think you get the idea.

My favorite Nana Mouskouri song is ABBA's ,,,, "I have a Dream"

.

Beautiful song that can take a person to dreaming of bygone days and exotic places. Unlike certain school boards with habits one could only hear about in rap music and dreams that are closer to nightmares.

China will need a war soon to cull the male population. Government policies are coming home to roost.

Just in case you thought Ontario's decline had anything to do with energy costs or taxes, here's the NDP's industry critic (and obvious Liberal apologist) Peggy Nash:

“My question is, where have they (Harper's Conservatives) been for nine years? They’ve neglected the manufacturing sector. We’ve lost hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs. Families, communities have suffered.” http://canadianlandowneralliance.blogspot.ca/2015/01/blaming-harper-again.html

Re: Plaisir D'Amour. I prefer Nana's voice over the other two.

Brigitte Bardot however--in her prime--was eye candy as the picture of her in the bikini attests.

I was raised in SW Sask. Bikinis were rare up until about 1960. We had an old redneck neighbour whom my bro and I used to work for. After harvest, we'd get paid then he and his wife would take us to the Natatorium in Moose Jaw, Sk., one of the first year round indoor heated pools in the area. Then we'd go for Chinese food.

One Sunday we were swimming at the Nat when a young lady walked up to the pool sporting a bikini. ''My God'' exclaimed old Pete. ''That damned swimsuit is narrower than the fan belt on my Pontiac.'' My Bro, who swam nearby, exclaimed. '' As long as it stays in the pulley, she'll be OK.!''

That's where I saw the first bikini!

A couple of years ago my ex-gf and I were babysitting her niece's infant daughter. I have never had kids, and have forgotten all the lullabys I've used to know. So, the ex asked me to sing to Audrina, I drew a blank, and just sang the first song that popped into my head - Can't Help Falling In Love. By the end of the second verse, she was asleep, and I was on cloud 9.

Nice songs.

Anyone else remember the Elvis version?

This seems to be a poll not going horribly wrong. I'm hoping you can help.

AGW RIP.

"Take the ones in Paraguay – a part of the world which contributed heavily to NASA GISS’s recent narrative about 2014 having been the “hottest year on record.”

If it wasn’t for the diligence of amateur investigators like retired accountant Paul Homewood, probably no one would care, not even Paraguayans, what has been going on with the Paraguayan temperature records. But Homewood has done his homework and here, revealed at his site Notalotofpeopleknowthat, is what he found."

"How can we believe in ‘global warming’ when the temperature records providing the ‘evidence’ for that warming cannot be trusted?

It’s a big question – and one which many people, even on the sceptical side of the argument, are reluctant to ask."

The enemy within the gates. Is the Cara Tobin who is Alberta Energy Regulator quoted by the recently left wing 630 Ched in this article:

The same Cara Tobin who wrote this article for the Desmog Blog?

You can't be a right thinking government if you have such a large left wing bureaucracy.

Netanyahu bypassing Obama to speak to Congress an outright lie.

NYT now quietly prints this correction:
Correction: January 30, 2015
An earlier version of this article misstated when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel accepted Speaker John A. Boehner’s invitation to address Congress. He accepted after the administration had been informed of the invitation, not before.
