]]>Meanwhile, tonight's SDA LNR cheese selection is Appleby's Cheshire, and I must say, it really is quite good. I mean, I like pulling on the cheese snobs' chains as much as you do, yet this Appleby's product really does stand above the other Cheshires I've measured. Ask for it by name at your local cheese monger's shop, I say; you won't be disappointed.

Hospital Patient So Shocked At Dirty Ward She Climbed Out Of Bed To Clean It Herself
Speaking of whom... now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
2004 - "The Greatest Canadian"
2009 - "19 per cent could identify the father of Medicare"
Or a damned good argument for bringing back mandatory quarantines.
Or forced sterilization of stupid people.
The Humane Society of Canada is asking Canada's broadcasting regulator to phase out the airing of Calgary Stampede events.
The animal-welfare group believes rodeo events during the 10 days of Stampede violate the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) code by glamourizing cruelty to animals during programming.
And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...
The Humane Society of Canada does not run shelters - these are not the people who take in lost pets. This is hard left animal rights fund-raising media centric activism in the tradition of Greenpeace. (Until 1995, they were directly controlled by the Humane Society of the United States.)
In the meanwhile, the HSoC website is offering a poll (link fixed) that's asking to go horribly wrong. To get a sense of the level of real world public support this organization has, note that the poll has received just 355 votes in the nearly two months it's been up.

GOP.gov - "The bill (H.R. 2454) requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide monthly cash payments, or "energy stamps", to low-income households for their estimated "loss in their purchasing power" resulting from the Democrats' national energy tax. The bill establishes a national standard of eligibility (covering everyone under 150% of the poverty line). Energy stamps would reach an estimated 65 million individuals (about 20 percent of all US residents) - making it a larger program than welfare, food stamps, or even Medicaid. (H.R. 2454, American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, Sec. 431, p. 1193)"
Do you suppose anyone in Ottawa has bothered to check? And by "anyone", I mean those Keynesian worshiping idiots in every party.
Actually, I'd like to take that part about "Keynesian worshiping idiots" back. Canadian "recovery" spending is more apt to be the product of last week's polling twitch than last century's economic theory.
Besides, "ignorant servile scum!" has a much better ring to it.

"For $25,000 to $250,000, The Washington Post has offered lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to "those powerful few": Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and — at first — even the paper’s own reporters and editors."
June 29, 2009 - "While promoting his new cap-and-trade energy tax bill, which passed the U.S. House last week, President Obama revealed in a White House address on Monday his model for the nation's economy - California."
July 1, 2009 - "GM to Stop Making Cars in California"
