There was a bit of steel guitar, raunchy rock guttural sounds and of course selective picking in there. Excellent.

Now on to off-topic.

We need a flake index to categorize those who wish to spend other peoples' money. I'm not sure how it would work.

I define environmentalists, on an escalating scale, as proponents of the following:

0- stop pollution
1- be friendlier to animals
2- stop eating fish
3- stop eating meat
4- stop all use of animals
5- annoy/antagonize anyone who does not believe in steps 2-4.

"Polar bear patrol escorts Hudson Bay trick-or-treaters

CHURCHILL, Man. - Most trick-or-treaters are well-versed in Halloween safety: travel in groups, wear colourful clothing and only stop at brightly lit homes.

The drill is slightly different, however, for kids in a remote Manitoba town on Hudson Bay.

Youngsters in Churchill are warned not to dress in furry white costumes, to steer clear of baited traps stuffed with seal meat and to listen for the tell-tale sound of fireworks.

That's because these candy-seekers have more to worry about than ghosts and goblins. They need to avoid a different kind of predator on Halloween - the polar bear.

In Churchill - known as the polar bear capital of the world - Halloween falls smack in the middle of the busiest time for the iconic mammals. The bears are restlessly wandering around as they wait for cooler temperatures so they can head out onto the frozen winter ice.

Add to that streets crawling with about 300 trick-or-treaters and their tasty bags of treats. The combination could be deadly.

But Conservation, Parks Canada and RCMP officers have ensured everyone's safety for the last 40 Halloweens and this year is no different. Thirty of them will encircle the town and keep an eye on youngsters going door to door.

"It's a precautionary measure because the polar bear is a predatory animal," said Const. Mike Boychuk. "Our main goal is to have a safe community whether it be from humans or from bears."

Actually, I think most people just skip to
"5- annoy/antagonize anyone who does not believe in steps 2-4."

It makes all the other steps redundant.
Apparently.

MSM misses/omits mention of PM Harper’s Blue scarf.

Get a screen shot.

It’s mahhhvellous.

"Deal Reached in Honduras to Restore Ousted President

MEXICO CITY — A lingering political crisis in Honduras seemed to be nearing an end on Friday after the de facto government agreed to a deal that would allow Manuel Zelaya, the deposed president, to return to office.

The government of Roberto Micheletti, which had refused to let Mr. Zelaya return, signed an agreement with Mr. Zelaya’s negotiators late Thursday that would pave the way for the Honduran Congress to restore the ousted president and allow him to serve out the remaining three months of his term.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton confirmed on Friday that Mr. Zelaya and Mr. Micheletti had approved what she called “an historic agreement.”

“I cannot think of another example of a country in Latin America that, having suffered a rupture of its democratic and constitutional order, overcame such a crisis through negotiation and dialogue,” Mrs. Clinton said Friday in Islamabad, where she has been meeting with Pakistani officials.

The accord came after a team of senior American diplomats flew from Washington to the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa, on Wednesday to press for an agreement. On Thursday, the assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs, Thomas A. Shannon Jr., warned that time was running out for an agreement."

Another Only in California story:
In San Francisco, "cops will no longer impound cars the first time drivers are pulled over without a license. The reason: Many such drivers are in the United States illegally - and thus unable to get a license - and the officials pushing the change think that impounding their cars is an unfair hardship."
The chage resulted "from conversations between Mayor Gavin Newsom, Supervisor David Campos - who arrived here illegally from Guatemala at age 14 - and former Police Chief Heather Fong."

Lorne Gunter has great piece on registry at NP blog.

http://dissolvethecrtc.ca/ - They'll present the petition when it hits 10,000 signatures, just thought there might be several here who would want to add to it, it's almost at the target. (I'm not associated with them other than also having signed it)

I would add, dissolve CIRA.

Why do we need an agency in charge of Internet domain registration, which allows anyone to buy anonymous registration and start publishing personally identifiable information of people on the internet for everyone to see, all while that registrant's privacy 'is protected'?

More about Cdn. Forces operations in Deh-e Bagh, Kandahar province:

Model Village

The village-based approach - which represents an important element of Operation Kantolo - is an effort to win the support and trust of Afghan authorities and population with reconstruction, development and employment. The village-based approach is a tactical application of counter-insurgency doctrine which seeks to get every segment of the population engaged in rebuilding and developing their community, which in turn makes the insurgency less effective and less relevant to the population.

"The Lordlings

Peggy Noonan adopts a meme that has been sweeping the blogs of late, the idea that America’s elite is broken; so broken she says, that it doesn’t know it’s broken.

In a WSJ article, she describes the current and disastrous reign of “callous children”; people who have “never seen things go dark” and are leading their nation into the abyss.

For the first time, she says, the national mood is one of despondency.

There are no solutions because the problems come from within. The heirs have grown strange and wayward. They have gone off into the dark to return at whiles speaking in odd voices. Noonan describes the sense of loss she feels in the current economic and political crisis."

"*Barack Obama - Narcissist or Merely Narcissistic?"

"*The "small people", the "rank and file", the "loyal soldiers" of the narcissist - his flock, his nation, his employees - they pay the price. The disillusionment and disenchantment are agonizing. The process of reconstruction, of rising from the ashes, of overcoming the trauma of having been deceived, exploited and manipulated - is drawn-out. It is difficult to trust again, to have faith, to love, to be led, to collaborate. Feelings of shame and guilt engulf the erstwhile followers of the narcissist. This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder."
