Update – Well, true enough.

Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, visited wounded soldiers and their families near the site of the worst mass shooting on an Army post in the United States.
The Bushes made their private visit to Fort Hood’s Darnall Army Medical Center on Friday night. Bush spokesman David Sherzer said in an e-mail that the couple thanked Fort Hood’s military leaders and hospital staff for the “amazing care they are providing.”

One of the undiscussed results of the vote on C-391 yesterday can give our head-exploding friends on the left a little comfort. There will be no election until that baby gets Royal Assent.
The slew of polls since Mr. Harper’s time was up caused no end of headache to the Liberals and Dippers, all fearing the Conservatives pulling the plug or injecting a poison-pill into some confidence bill.
They can rest easy now. Yesterday’s vote effectively ties the CPC’s hands on killing the gov’t. IMO, the PM wouldn’t dare let this Bill die on the table after having it pass second reading…after the euphoria of the CPC base over its passage. Now, if the Committee tinkers with it too much, as some are hinting. All bets are off.
Course, I really can’t see either the Libs or the Dippers playing that dice game.
Cheers,

Adventures in sustainable protesting.

Because there’s not one problem outlined in this report that can’t be solved by drawing a line through a map.

Breitbart;

The United Nations has assigned an official, “a special rapporteur on the right to adequate housing,” to check the city’s affordable housing. The rapporteur, Raquel Rolnik, is to tour [New York City] for the next three days with housing advocates and city officials to “hear the voices of those who are suffering on the ground,”

Bonus Trivia: Raquel Rolnik is from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

CBC – Ontario to hit record $14.1B deficit in 2009
Lorrie Goldstein – [McGuinty] is using taxpayers’ money to massively subsidize wind — paying 13.5 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity generated from wind turbines (19 cents for offshore projects) compared to the normal cost of generation of four to five cents. […] The province has been flooded with so many applications for offshore wind farms that Natural Resources Minister Donna Cansfield announced last week it won’t consider any more until next year, just so it can catch up on the paperwork.
Update: National Post – “Ontario deficit to hit $25-billion”

A bold new strategy from the people who surrendered to Sarah Palin’s Facebook page.

I was pulling together my outfit for today, and found this.

Made in Vietnam. No, really.
Update: My apologies for the slow blog day. As soon as I got home, I had to head straight to work on a billboard.
I would like to publicly thank Kathy Shaidle for providing me the opportunity to render this particularly noxious fellow speechless for a full five seconds.

Bad news for Michael Ignatieff;

Harvard University’s failed bet that interest rates would rise cost the world’s richest school at least $500 million in payments to escape derivatives that backfired.
[…]
The annual report provides new details on Harvard’s derivative-related losses. Many were entered into in 2004, said Harvard spokeswoman Christine Heenan. Lawrence Summers, director of President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council, was the university’s president at the time. White House spokesman Matthew Vogel declined to comment.

Much more of this, and he’ll have no job to go back to.
KevinB, in the comments ;

What’s missing here is the truly ironic point. Through the 90’s, Harvard’s endowment was managed by Jack Meyer, who had spectacular success. Harvard’s endowment in 1990 was $4.4 billion; by 2000, it was over $22 billion. Meyer was paid on the usual “2 and 20” hedge fund basis – 2% of assets under management, and 20% of any gain over an agreed upon benchmark (usually the performance of the S&P500, although I don’t know what it was in Harvard’s case). Regardless of the benchmark, Meyer made huge amounts of money, with annual paychecks in the tens of millions.
Naturally, this annoyed all the learned professors no end, so they voted to cap Meyer’s earnings. Meyer advised them to fornicate amongst themselves, and quit to start his own hedge fund, along with four other Harvard investment managers. Since then, Harvard has posted flat or falling performance on its portfolio.
So, while greed is usually blamed for financial mistakes, in this case, it was envy, pure and simple. I wonder if Harvard is going to progress through all the seven deadly sins? What would be next? Sloth? Gluttony? My money’s on “pride”.

October 2, 2001 – “Bill Clinton is suspended from the practice of law in this Court,” the Supreme Court announced in a decision that came without comment or indication of how the nine justices of the high court had voted on the ruling. Clinton has 40 days to contest the decision. The Supreme Court gave no reason for its move. However in April, the former president paid a fine of $US25,000 ($61,500,000) and was barred from practicing law for five years in his home state of Arkansas.
October 16, 2009 – The former U.S. president is at McGill University to accept an honorary doctor of laws degree.

Don’t laugh.

It’s the only way Halifax remains above sea level in the summer.

In the awarding of the Peace Prize at this early stage in his presidency, even the Nobel committee has revealed a certain lack of confidence in President Obama.
The Presidency is a four year term. Why not wait until Obama had a track record of accomplishments behind him – unless they were afraid there wouldn’t be any.

Mr. Flaherty. Good work.
