  8. EBD, re this evening’s north of Hadrian’s Wall video I have a question. How did the show hosts know when to beep out a word?
    Homeless Filipino boy does homework by using light from a McDonalds restaurant.
    This kid will go places. I doubt his homework includes learning how to put on a rubber or how to kiss his male pal.

  11. Europe in crisis drifts towards fascism? That is unprecede… oh wait.

  16. I smell bogosity. If the Red Star had anything detrminetal to Stephen Harper, they’d splash it over the front page.

  18. Are we polled out yet? We have yet another poll with over 70% of those polled want change and another showing Mulcair and his band of socialists, and some former or present, who knows, separatists, in the lead.
    God help us.

  19. Re: Volcanic eruptions that changed human history.
    The entire concept of “climate change” (a broad term) and human response is fascinating. The end of the ice age some 10,000 years ago, the dying of northern Africa into desert, droughts, heat waves, cold summers and thousands of other climate events both local and global have pressured humans to respond and flourish or not respond and die. The responses have been migrations or wars (or both), new inventions, culture changes, the fall and disappearance of “empires” or peoples. Historians would do better paying more attention to these types of events when researching the past. They had huge effects on the course of human history.

  20. Mounties Arming up for massive “hunting season” order 45000 rounds of Hi-shock ammo.
    It is not the volume of ammo that is unseemly , it’s the nature of the projectiles loaded into these .308 rounds – accuracy/expansion bullets “.308 Winchester 175 Grain Boat Tail Hollow Point ”
    I’ve used these in silhouette matches and they also double as a pretty fair varmint bullet – very explosive at low penetration. Our armed forces use full metal jackets because expanding bullets are deemed to be a outlawed weapon which causes massive tissue damage – why is it ok to use these against civilians? Or id this for the annual RCMP moose cull?

  21. Occam they might get some of us but they won’t get all of us!! some of us are better armed than the mounties and have more ammunition.

  22. “Or id this for the annual RCMP moose cull?”
    Annual Indian cull? Mounties will be Mounties.

  23. I had no trouble understanding that at all.
    Full Disclosure: the maternal side of my family is Glaswegian.

  24. “It’s the Americans fault yet again.”
    Everyone knows that Bush and Cheney used top-secret US military time-continuum technology to alter history.
    Secretly funded by a consortium of Freemasons, Zionists and the Bilderberg Group of course.

  27. Another pavilion for Folk Fest. I guess the Jamaicans aren’t oppressed enough so they have to take their place behind the LBGQTs.
    Reggae stars headed to Edmonton accused of anti-gay views
    Three Jamaican singers booked to headline the Edmonton Reggae Festival later this summer now find themselves the focus of a controversy that centres on gay rights and freedom of speech.
    Queen Ifrica, Capleton and I-Wayne have all been accused of making anti-gay statements or having anti-gay lyrics in their dancehall songs.

  28. AGW RIP.

    “California Farms Are Using Drilling Wastewater to Grow Crops”
    “California’s epic drought is pushing Big Oil to solve a problem it’s struggled with for decades: what to do with the billions of gallons of wastewater that gush out of wells every year.
    Golden State drillers have pumped much of that liquid back underground into disposal wells. Now, amid a four-year dry spell, more companies are looking to recycle their water or sell it to parched farms as the industry tries to get ahead of environmental lawsuits and new regulations.”
