I remember seeing Sonny Terry with Brownie McGee back in the mid seventies.

Energy Secretary Chu calls us teenagers doing the wrong thing on energy use and the Administration is the "Parent" and he is going to teach us all how to be more energy smart... they had to try and spin it as well in the update, but having heard this dipstick talk he was serious in what he said.

He must have downloaded the new Nanny State 4.0 that Obama is getting his buddy at Google to put in the GoogleApps section. Your computer will only operate for 3 hours a day, send a report to whitehouse.gov on your actions, then it will go into powersave and take your entire house with it...oh crap times up...

User Disconnected. Nanny State 4.0 has disabled this System, purchase Carbon Offsets or wait 24 hours to continue. Have a Green Day!

Vitruvis--you never cease to amaze me!! Thanks!!

Watched Obama on David Letterman. He is a good PR man!! Whether or not his plans will work out, God only knows.

NDPs won 2 by-elections tonight in Sask. Guess some people are lonely and miss the potholes, the migration to Alberta, hospital closures and a depressed economy. It's like men and women who engage in bad relationships. They tend to want to go back there. Worst gets to worst--there's always Alberta!!

Austria in the '30s: Mirror to America

She is 83 with a "vivid memory" of what happened in her homeland next. She witnessed the government take over the banks and the auto industry. Sound familiar? In the last nine months, Obama and the Democrats in Congress have successfully orchestrated the government takeover of Chrysler and General Motors along with countless banks.

She witnessed the "compulsory youth" service and indoctrination. That sounds a little like Obama's call for "mandatory volunteerism" for America's youth.

Just think of the caginess behind the line "mandatory volunteerism". Forced volunteers. In other words slaves.

Joffre: “You failed to mention the very juicy tidbit (which I got from Chantal Hébert’s french-language blog here: http://www2.lactualite.com/chantal-hebert/2009-09... ) that, apparently, even Jean Chrétien asked Ignatieff to let Cauchon run in Outremont.”

Warren is a much nicer person than me. He just threatens people with a chainsaw.

But I am soooo awful - why I have the gall to think that his Liberals want power for the sake of power, not for good gov't. I am much worse than a chainsaw massacre because I think the CHRC is fascist for promoting extreme political correctness to the point that the moral hazard becomes a hazard.

But he is nicer than me.

And don't bother going to his site - someone will soon explain his actions much better than I ever could.

Oh, almost forgot, Susan Delacourt is the nicest.

almost two years to download a database that everyone fills in at birth. Makes you wonder how fast our civil servants work.you could get a faster count mailing in scrolls to a dilagent monk.

Hey, if the MSM isn't ratcheting up the hysteria fast enough, just rip off their web page and make a fake-newspaper:

Counter-IED Task Force shares, seeks info

The Canadian Forces (CF) Counter Improvised Explosive Device Task Force (C-IED TF) launched classified and non-classified websites September 1. The sites will provide soldiers and the general public with timely and relevant information on counter-improvised explosive devices (C-IEDs)...

The classified and non-classified websites will act as repositories for all relevant C-IED information. They will serve as the primary platforms for C-IED collaboration, training content development, and timely information sharing and communication as it relates to the IED threat...

O/T but I found this article enlightening. The Kyotoists are now formally using Western Guilt to promote the Red-Green AGW Agenda.
From The Guardian:

"The United Nations is planning a form of diplomatic shock therapy for world leaders this week...The heads of state attending the UN summit are to be stripped of their entourages...The leaders will also lunch with environmental activists and chief executives of corporations who have been pressing their governments for action. At dinner, the leaders of the biggest polluting countries will dine with the leaders of Bangladesh, Kiribati and Costa Rica – which are among the primary victims of climate change.
By the end of the day, the rationale goes, the leaders will be imbued with a new sense of purpose. "

Activists, corporations, victims - that pretty much tells the tale of the imminent shakedown of industrial nations. I wonder how "mean-spirited" PMSH will respond to such blatant guilt mongering. On second thought, I am worried about how PMSH might respond. Hold on to your wallets.

oops...that should say From The Guardian via planetgore
