Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, here is an epsiode of The Adventures of Phillip Marlowe radio show, based on Raymond Chandler's famous character, starring Van Heplin, in Trouble is My Business, on August 5, 1947:

(Brought to you by Pepsodent, "three times more popular than any other toothpase", which only goes to show that popular marketing has been full of it for quite some time.)

I should just give you posting privilages and let you do this properly, Vit.

Well, garwsh, Kate, thanks for the offer (digs toe in sand). I will admit that I have thought about it, but as David Letterman explained, on the matter of replacing Johnny Carson, in his Charlie Rose interview, it's not for me to ask ~ tinyurl.com/377ho5

Still, I don't think that SDA LNR is that important. There are bigger fish to fry here at SDA. This gig I've carved out is just a respite, not a cause. There is a sense in which it is the case that if I had any sort of formal responsibility for the SDA LNR shtick, then it wouldn't happen. My productive responsibility for bettering the human condition lies elsewhere.

Yet it is also the case that I have replaced the popular media (without ignoring current events) by the exploration of the newly available Internetarchives. And it is also the case that history shows that my axiological judgments are not entirely without appreciation hereabouts.

Thus it may be that, in this case, serendipity is the mother of invention. I don't think we need SDA LNR articles per se; when my explorations happen to result in a finding that I think may be interesting to the Friends of SDA, I think, at least for now, that Reader Tips is sufficient.

Though, now that you've mentioned it, if I change my mind, I'll
let you know. Unless, of course, that was a one-time offer ;-)

Oh dear, I hope the little one makes it! If I was closer, I would take a shift or two. Sleep is overrated Kate, you don't really need it.

As a matter of fact, your brain will get sharper without sleep, you will get inspired ideas....okay maybe delusions, but enjoy them, because tomorrow you will have forgotten those earth shattering ideas, except for that nagging part of your brain that tell you, you had solved all the problems in the world, if you could only remember what it was.

Keep going, sleep later!

Hunter?
( You know me from Free Dominion... )

Oh dear, I hope the little one makes it! If I was closer, I would take a shift or two. Sleep is overrated Kate, you don't really need it.

So would I-- I'm up at weird hours, wrangling a Lab puppy ( Master Cole, Taffy's successor ) and a very fat, very neurotic older dog ( Zoe' the old dog we inherited when my MIL entered Hospice care a couple of weeks ago )...

Sleep?

What's that?

There's a lively discussion about the Stephen Boissoin case over at Ezra Levant's site, "Libel chill as a tool of human rights commissions".

Unless these jackboots of the state are reined in--and, better yet, abolished--we're all in danger.

British scientists claiming IPCC right and there is no correlation between the sun and "rising" global temperatures. Yet according to global temps they have been declining since 2000. The spin never stops.

"He showed that over the last 20 years, solar activity has been slowly declining, which should have led to a drop in global temperatures if the theory was correct."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7327393.stm

I think I may be forgiven for pointing out that Stephen Bossoin's plight--the Reverend Stephen Bossoin--makes it quite clear how Christians are regarded in the human rights (sic) realm: right at the bottom, where there are no human rights, only grovelling and pay-through-the-nose privileges.

To say that "official" Canada is officially anti-Christian is no hyperbole, and unless your group wants to be next, it might not be a bad idea to voice your objections to your MP. First they came for the Christians, then.....

I want pictures of the puppy!

Dave:

It was also in the telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=&xml=/earth/2008/04/03/scisolar103.xml

and can be found here:

http://www.iop.org/EJ/article/1748-9326/3/2/024001/erl8_2_024001.pdf?request-id=7a5386f2-dcf4-42ea-8314-bff949ac6933

However, quotes from the scientist involved makes me wonder the Bias-free condition of the research

"If he is right, then we are going down the wrong path of taking all these expensive measures to cut carbon emissions; if he is right, we could carry on with carbon emissions as normal."

The author paraphrases the "skeptic arguement" very incorrectly by implying that we can just continue polluting as normal. As I recall, this is NOT what the original "skeptic" said.

Further:
From the paper itself: "There have been previous reports of observations of correlations between cloud cover and Forbush decreases [11, 24]. These seem to be incompatible with our observations although the statistical precision of the data is not powerful."

Which is not clear to me at all what they are saying. Also, the language of the paper in the conclusion indicates some waffling to me.

So, in the end, it is the media which will make a bigger story and pronounce a final verdict, which the paper itself seemed to avoid saying.

The Global Warming/Climate Change hysteria has morphed into a huge money making industry. It's big pushers have become wealthy and won awards for simply spreading a scam they can't really prove or debate. Has anyone heard fat cat Al Gore debate?

Surely people have twigged something is amiss when they've changed their shtick midstream. When the warming thing wasn't happening they latched onto Climate Change to cover their asses.

The only common sense is coming from the CPC. We can all agree to cleaning up pollution and working on more technology to do so. Shutting down our economy to pay China and others to pollute is beyond reason. Of course, we have to allow for the lack of reason among the cloud dwellers of the Left where all this hysteria originated.
If Mo Strong is still healthy after spending so much time in China maybe we have proof pollution is good for us!

Overpopulation is causing mankind to destroy the ecosphere. Climate change will kill millions.

Problem. Solution. What's all the fuss about?

I'm laughing at this. Mr. Ahenakew is like a LIBERAL, ENTITLED to his ENTITLEMENTS. Mr. Ahenakew is only now seeing what it is to be like thousands of his brothers and sisters living on the RESERVE, BROKE. At the next reserve bingo lets pass around a plate and take up a collection for poor David A. The people living on reserve can dig deep into their WELFARE money and show their thanks to David for a lifetime of dedication to the INDIAN cause. Yes indeed, we are all poor on the reserve struggling to make ends meet while David A has investments in the city, property, an expensive car to drive, and looking at his waist line he is not going hungry.

Liberal Party of Canada Nominates Québec Candidate Who Cannot Speak French

"In the coming months, Stéphane Dion will have a lot of explaining to do to the half of the residents of the Québec riding of Pontiac whose first language is French. This afternoon, his party nominated a candidate who, in her nomination speech, gave one sentence in her province’s official tongue— and, in mere seconds, managed to make Gerard Kennedy sound like Dominique de Villepin."

"To make things worse, today’s nomination was scheduled by LPCQ in a disgraceful, Martinite fashion. There was one poll in the expansive rural riding and it was located in McMillan’s overwhelmingly anglophone hometown of Farrellton. Actually, the poll was her church. And voting took place directly after mass. And the returning officer of the province had the right to close down voting at will."

"McMillan said she thought her French was “good.” This is exactly the same thing we got from the Kennedy campaign, where staffers would tell French media his language skills were ‘okay’ and that he was ‘working on it’, only to turn around and advertise him as fluently bilingual in the English language papers.

It didn’t work for Gerard, and it won’t work for Cindy."

China Rats Out Iran to UN Investigators

"China has betrayed one its closest allies by providing the United Nations with intelligence on Iran's efforts to acquire nuclear technology, diplomats have revealed.

Concern over Tehran's secretive research programme has increased in recent weeks after officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN's nuclear watchdog, discovered that Iran had obtained information on how to manufacture nuclear-armed weapons. "

Daniel Pipes, A movie and a conversion: Europe begins to resist?

Some analysts of Islam in Western Europe argue that the continent cannot escape its Eurabian fate; that the trend lines of the past half-century will continue until Muslims become a majority population and Islamic law (the Shari'a) reigns.

I disagree, arguing that there is another route the continent might take, one of resistance to Islamification and a reassertion of traditional ways.

Indigenous Europeans - who make up 95 percent of the population - can insist on their historic customs and mores. Were they to do so, nothing would be in their way and no one could stop them...

Eliphas Mukonoweshuro*, A New Zimbabwe

Despite President Robert Mugabe's diversions and smokescreens, his defeat is final. Polling stations show that Zimbabwe's Movement for Democratic Change won Saturday's presidential and parliamentary elections. Should the dictator and his minions attempt to deny this truth, injustice may win a minor victory. But it has already lost the war.

So let us take a moment to consider what the new government's agenda would be when and if it takes office...

Frederick W. Kagan, Iraq's Benchmarks

As the reduction in violence in Iraq has become incontestable (the insistence of early critics that no such reduction was possible notwithstanding), war opponents have fallen back on their next line of defense--that the military progress has not been matched by the political progress it was supposed to enable. This talking point, however, is also outdated and invalid...

As the tally below shows, the Government of Iraq has now met 12 out of the original 18 benchmarks set for it, including four out of the six key legislative benchmarks. It has made substantial progress on five more, and only one remains truly stalled...

Michelle Bussenius, Reshaping Attitudes: Mass Media Changes Along with the News

While print media becomes less utilized, alternate/new media outlets are gaining wider audiences. Coverage of the 2008 presidential primaries illustrates this shift; more people than ever are relying on nontraditional forms of media for news and information about the race and the candidates. A recent nationwide study found that 26 percent of Americans receive information about the 2008 presidential campaign via the Internet on a regular basis, nearly twice that of the previous (2004) election...

Thomas Sowell, a Hoover senior fellow, agrees that many journalists are guilty of “filtering and spinning the news” according their own political agendas or that of the candidates they support. Such bias, according to Sowell, hurts the public that depends on “journalists to tell them the truth as they see it and to offer their honest opinion as to what it means.”

Hoover senior fellow Morris Fiorina points out that bias in the media is to be expected because the experiences of journalists are limited to surroundings that are not representative of mainstream America. Thus, according to Fiorina, those providing the information cannot help but offer skewed observations...

When I was a kid, any pup that couldn't survive the natural wasy was placed in a gunny sack along with a rock and taken to the river. All you're doing is introducing weak genes into the breed. Perhaps that would explain why the last German Shepherd I bought couldn't tell his ass from a gopher hole.

But when she woke up after the operation, she found that doctors had put in silicone implants, increasing her cup size from a C to a D.

The Web site Ananova.com reports that Bruelling is suing doctors over the procedure.

Re: My personality change. I changed my name because your site claimed that I had entered too often. I've been here twice in the last week!! Maybe once in the last six months before that!!
Re: Nursing wounded or sick animals. Kate, I'm serious, I swear on my mother's grave!! I know it's tough to get rid of a young animal. However, many wildlife and other animal experts have long abandoned the idea of feeding orphans and/or nursing wounded or sick animals back to life.
How do you account for good dogs such as German Shepherds, Border Collies, etc.? Years and years of selective breeding. Surviving tough times makes for better dogs. I'll send you some interesting material later!
Why does a Bison have her calf on a cold minus 30 degree day, and a minute later, the calf is running around in the snow? On the other hand, why do so many Charolais have difficulty in calving?? Think for a moment! Nobody ever assisted Bison with their calves' births. Only the strong survived! It's called natural selection.

Texas Ranger/Reality, must be all that bully beef y'all consume turning your head to meat that makes y'all such tough guys.

Tex, that's because you hit the post button twice in succession. Has nothing to do with your chosen nickname.

And I understand the general point you're making and agree with it. But this isn't a tiny puppy because he's a runt. Another in the litter died in utero, his dam required a c-section to deliver the calcified corpse, and then developed an infection that passed along in her milk. He spent the first three days of life starving to death. (He's not my puppy, I'm doing this for a friend who lacks the experience required.) His condition is a result of misfortune, not genetics.

But as far as the lecture on selective breeding, here's my resume:

http://www.katewerk.com/minuteman.html

Just another point, though - Bison produce hardier offspring than Holsteins, too, but try getting 6 of them into a milking parlor.

Breeds are created for domestic purposes that must be weighed against other factors. A Bison only needs to eat and crap to be successful at life. A Charolais is expected to deliver a little bit more than that - meat quality, tractability, etc.

Hmmmm, had a Rott who had 9 puppies and only 8 tits would produce, so that bitch culled the smallest female. She would carry her butt out in the woods and dump her I would find her and place her back. This went on for 4 days before I realized the last two tits weren't working. I took the puppy in the house and just like Kate is doing now nursed the lil turd back to damn-near normal size. Ratturd is 14 years old now and can still get up the attic stairs faster than me.

Being a Conservative invloves more than knocking lil babies/puppies in the head just because they are small.

Sask ndp member on cbc doing big exposure on Cons.MP Tom Lukowski

Sask dipper Pat Atkinson has 'explosive' controversial videotape..says has 'sexist,violent,hateful' comments made by Tom L. Says 'he said some 'mean things' wants Prem.Wall to 'explain'...she won't repeat the comments.

Tape apparently made in 1991,includes Brad Wall..making homophobic,racist comments.NDP 'found' said tape when they got turfed into opposition offices.

From the Jerusalem Post:

Abraham Katsman, Obama is no moderate: His radical position on 'abortion' after birth

Obama's position essentially boils down to this: a woman who contracts for an abortion is entitled, one way or another, to a dead baby. A dead baby must result, even if that baby had already been a distinct living being. The killing of some live babies is just part of the price we must pay in order to keep the sacred right to an abortion supreme and absolute, beyond any shadow of a doubt.

What kind of principle is this? What core value is Obama expressing? What extremist doctrine or interest is he defending? And how doctrinaire must one be to defend actual infanticide? This goes well beyond any reasonable advocacy of a woman's "right to choose;" it attacks a living baby's right to life. His position is not simply "pro-choice;" it is radically anti-life. It is, in fact, pro-death...

A 17 year old video has surfaced, and is mentioned by a MP who is in a same sex relationship, where a rude description of certain people are mentioned. You can't use todays standards against standards of 17 years ago.
What is said on the video could be considered rude, but 17 years ago most people believed gays spread aids. That is a fact.

Yet another smear campaign against the Conservatives? Is that all an opposition can do? No policies, no arguments over issues. Just move into the emotional and the personal ad hominem?

What is 'homophobic' to one is only a statement of opinion to another. Free speech, anyone?

Oh, speaking of attempts to control the world, apparently Zimbabwe police in riot gear are descending on a hotel where the journalists are staying. I wonder, is Mugabe preparing to insist on his being President Forever, despite the polls, and doesn't want the assumed riots to be reported?

I can relate to Tex, my sister helped out on the USA project that re-introduced bald eagles into the wild. (1980's.) Many of the eagles that had been hand fed could hardly fly--they were overweight. Most couldn't hunt on their own. But then eagles are wild.
What Tex is saying is that everytime you "hand save" such an an animal as a dog, cat etc. you weaken the breed and species. I can understand Kate's attachment to the pup. But she on the other hand should repect Tex's "country boy" way of thinkin'

Did anyone else hear the trembling in the voice of Keith Boag reporting from the NATO conference?

Wonder what has him all a tither?

Watched a special last night on PBS by Jean-Michel Cousteau on the Amazon. It now resembles a leaf that is being eaten by voracious caterpillers. There is literaly thousands of square miles that are no longer the primordial rain forest and are planted with soy beans or other crops. major highways are being driven through the forest which allows access to illegal loging and endless fires for clear cutting.

The drive for ecofuels is a major contributor yet only sugar cane is true viable source for it. As North America plants more corn for ecofuels and cuts back on soy beans Brazil takes up the slack.

The forest is drying out as its natural climate cycle is disappearing with little thought as to the outcome. I realize our forefathers did this to North America over the centuries but to watch this world treasure vanish almost overnight is a tradgedy. The exploding population of Brazil will ensure that this tradgedy continues to its bitter end, so sad.

OMMAG: [re Keith Boag]: "Wonder what has him all a tither?"

He just can't STAND that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is coming across as so prime ministerial on the international scene, while Dion is looking more and more like a knock-kneed kindergarten kid who's just got sand kicked in his face by the class bully--and is just about to get the you-know-what kicked out of him by the new kid in the class.

It's really tough for the CBCPravda apparatchiks to have to stand by and watch Prime Minister Harper as a skilled diplomat, being taken seriously by "the big guys."

This is their worst nightmare: Stephen Harper looking dignified and politically relevant on the world stage while the proliferation of buffoons in the Natural Ruling Party just keep lighting fires.

This is not good news for poor Keith.

Tom Lukiwski has apologized over the remarks he made 16yrs ago. Should be enough Right! probaly not this is going to be the New Scandal of the week.

This lecture was delivered on 10 March. An abridged transcript is finally available:

John Tomasi, F.A. Hayek, Spontaneous Order, and the Mirage of Social Justice

I can't BELIEVE this: a video made IN 1991, that the NDP just happened "to stumble across," making disparaging comments about homosexuals, is now being used to try and discredit Prime Minister Stephen Harper's CPC caucus.

This is absolutely LUDICROUS.

Did the NDP actually "find" this video in the offices vacated by the Conservatives a year ago or did someone unearth it and decide to embarrass the CPC government EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER?

This kind of political grandstanding is so transparent as to be pathetic. I'm not defending MP Tom Lukowski's words that night 18 years ago, when he made these comments with a beer bottle in hand ('wonder how many he'd had by then?), but these remarks should not be grounds for demanding his resignation from the CPC caucus. He has made a sincere and public apology, but the Liberals (via their spokesman Scott Brison, who is such a wuss) seem to want a pound of flesh. (I'd just like the over $40-million they've stolen from Canadian taxpayers. Why can't we talk about that?)

I don't hear the NDP or the Liberals (excepting Keith Martin) speaking up for nasty things said about Christians or punitive measures taken against them by our bogus Canadian Human Rights (sic) Commissions.

This is total nonsense.

The only good thing about it, is that it seems to indicate that the Opposition Parties and the MSM must be pretty darned desperate to be trying to tar and feather the CPC by spending so much time on an unfortunate remark made by a CPC MP EIGHTEEN YEARS AFTER THE REMARK WAS MADE.

Pathetic Canada.

OF COURSE: The Lukowski Scandal is meant to deflect attention from Prime Minister Stephen Harper's sterling performance at the NATO Summit in Bucharest, Romania this week.

Now, it's all making sense: The Liberal Lapdogs have dutifully fallen in line, tongues drooling. Bow wow.

KYOTO FOR DUMMIES - PART II

Looking for another quick & dirty summary of Kyoto for those who have noble environmental "intentions", but no clue whatsoever the impact of implementing this disastrous policy on this country and its citizens?

Lorrie Goldstein hits it out of the park.

Quote: Some analysts of Islam in Western Europe argue that the continent cannot escape its Eurabian fate; that the trend lines of the past half-century will continue until Muslims become a majority population and Islamic law (the Shari'a) reigns.

Make Sharia Law illegal in the home and in society and Islam loses it's teeth and ability to harm yet another democratic society. Without Sharia Law to prop up Islamic Radicals it's just another useless cult. Allowing Sharia Law is to allow for one's demise. Seperate Islam from Sharia Law and watch the radicals flee to a country (England) that will permit it.

Regarding the puppy, times have changed we no longer accept that if a puppy is born sick it should be culled from the litter. Do we abandon premmies? NO, Kate is doing the right thing. As a country girl I understand the rednecks point of view but this puppy isn't a cow it's a domestic animal and it's worth the effort to save it. That's what we've evolved into, saving our domestic pets lives if we can.

Ah, Britain. I never knew you:

Daily Express: “STATE schools should be forced to open their doors to Islamic preachers teaching the Koran, the largest classroom union demanded yesterday. The National Union of Teachers’ conference also said existing religious schools – almost all of them Christian – should have to admit pupils from other faiths.

The union’s general secretary Steve Sinnott said that allowing Muslim imams to preach in schools would be a way to reunite divided communities.

Homegrown Canadian emmissaries of the 'religion of peace' attempted to kill an apostate. Why wasn't this in the Canadian news?

"MUSLIM CONVERTS TO CHRIST. MOM TRIED TO MURDER HIM--IN CANADA"

By J. Grant Swank, Jr.

His mother broke his nose by slamming him in the face. He did not celebrate Ramadan. His mother was angry and so banged him in his face.

Adam, born a Muslim in Morocco, now lives for Christ in Canada. While there, he witnessed to two Muslims as they were going to a nearby mall. They got him near a balcony and pushed him over. He fell four stories and was not expected to survive.

He broke his legs to such an extent that doctors say he will never walk again. Adam has no anger toward those who tried to kill him via his mother’s orders. He prays for them to know Christ.

Per CBNNews, “’I received a letter from my mom, threatening me that she was going to kill me if I do not go back to Islam,’ he said.”

Leftards NEVER take responsibility. Especially when they run universities:

The president of Columbia University and university officials did not attend a weekend historians' conference in New York on the university's ties with Nazi Germany during the 1930s.
...
University of Oklahoma professor Stephen H. Norwood recounted how then-Columbia president Nicholas Murray Butler had welcomed Nazi Germany's ambassador, Hans Luther, to the campus in December 1933 and tried to forge friendly relations with Nazi-controlled German universities in the mid-'30s.

"One might think that highly educated people like these elite university officials would show greater moral sensitivity," Norwood said. "But in fact, Butler was morally indifferent to Nazi crimes during the critically important early years of Nazi rule."

Norwood, who earned his Ph.D. in history at Columbia, also recounted how Butler had punished some Columbia students and faculty members who criticized his position towards the Nazis.

Jerome Klein, a professor of art history, was fired for opposing the Nazi ambassador's visit, and Robert Burke was expelled for leading student protests against Butler's decision to send a university delegation to a Nazi event in Germany, Norwood said.

"Sixty years after the Holocaust, Columbia has never acknowledged that they did anything wrong, even when we now know what the failure of confronting Nazism led to," Norwood said in a telephone interview with The Jerusalem Post from Oklahoma. "They don't care enough to look back and say injustices were done."

The problem is that you could be speaking about the anti-semitism of 2008 as much as the anti-semitism of the 1930's.

I guess this is why the leftard hypocrites are so in favour of HRC's...

The video that may dislodge some leftards from their Arab/Pali fettish:

Palestinian fishermen catch and kill a giant sea turtle, thought to be a Leatherback, an endangered species.

The rare giant sea turtle caught on a beach near Gaza City was slaughtered and eaten by Palestinian fishermen who said its blood was an aphrodisiac, among other therapeutic qualities. A Reuters cameraman said the fishermen collected the giant turtle's blood and gave it to children suffering from trauma and adults with back problems.

"A fascinating new memoir challenges the notion that only dramatic government intervention can rescue the working poor":

Evan Sparks, Chasing the American Dream with $25

How’s this for a crazy idea: a guy moves to a randomly selected city with $25 and plans to have a place to live, a car, and $2,500 in the bank—all within one year. Adam Shepard performed this exact feat and then wrote a book about it, titled Scratch Beginnings (SB Press, 240 pp, $13.95). According to Shepard, his experience proves that the American dream can come true.

In college, Shepard read Barbara Ehrenreich’s Nickel and Dimed, which argues that only government intervention can rescue the working poor from what Ehrenreich portrays as a desperate plight. Shepard doubted her thesis and wanted to test it...

The video is indeed extraordinary.

Rick Richman, A Nuclear Iran and the Future of Israel

Dr. Daniel Gordis, Senior Vice President and Senior Fellow at the Shalem Center in Jerusalem, appeared on April 2 at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, speaking on the topic "The Year 2048: Can Israel Survive to the Age of 100?" followed by a dialogue with Rabbi David Wolpe...

The video above is the colloquy regarding the question of bombing the nuclear facilities of Iran. Dr. Gordis' answer ("The minute Iran has the bomb, it's over. . . . Israeli life is over as we know it") is a remarkable analysis of the existential stakes involved, whether or not a bomb is actually employed.

Anyone listening to Duffy Live tonight will get a glimpse of the best the Liberals have to offer.
The newly minted by the skin of her flipping teeth, Joyce Whatshername from Vancouver Quadra was all awash in Liberal hypocrisy over the Lukowski video.

I'd like to know whether it's fair game to be snooping on private videos and if it is maybe we all better go on a big freaking hunt for material to get some of these holier than thou a**holes called Liberals.
Anyone remember Tom Wappel's views on the subject of homosexuals? That was more current than 16 years ago.

The NDP have planted the bomb and the Liberals are the ones running with it like the fools they are.
