Be Sure To Take Oprah With You

They could call it the “We’re Holding Your President At An Undisclosed Location Summit”;

In Monday’s debate from Charleston, S.C., Obama was asked by a questioner via YouTube if he would be willing to meet – without precondition – in the first year of his presidency with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea. “I would,” he responded.

The BBC owns up to deliberately lying about the Queen’s photo shoot.
Why we’re losing the war at home.

“READ THIS. And, as has often been raised at this blog, reflect on the role of our media. There is reason to examine the mission critically. But do so intelligently and with some knowledge–which is what our media are almost completely incapable of doing. “

LAST month Australians endured our coldest June since 1950. Imagine that; all those trillions of tonnes of evil carbon we’ve horked up into the atmosphere over six decades of rampant industrialisation, and we’re still getting the same icy weather we got during the Cold War.”
Time for the Thai government to admit defeat against the insurgency and pull their troops out of Thailand;

In an interview with Thai television on Wednesday, General Surayud said his government will continue its efforts to end a three-year insurgency that has left more than 2,000 people dead.

A “liberal supporter” demonstrates the progressive attitude towards women that the left is famous for.

I’ve a busy day today, so a few quick links to keep you occupied;
“See? We fix problem. Now you buy!”
“The polar icecaps of Mars are receding at several miles a year, much faster than ours and that the moons of Saturn and Jupiter are melting, in fact several of their moons were ice and are now liquid seas – how are SUV’s causing that David Rothschild?
The world braces for Jewish rioting.
How does Moore manage to simplify an argument to the point of absurdity, yet walk away with so many endorsements from people who know better? Perhaps liberals simply cherish the documentary as a day-dream — a fantasy world reshaped by leftist ideas.”
Up, up and away….

So, the first time since who knows when that Delisle makes the national news and where am I? Five hours to the south east, enjoying a weekend visiting family (and getting together with a few Saskbloggers).
Judging by anecdotal reports and the number of large trees snapped and uprooted, something more than a typical prairie wind storm (plow wind or mini-tornados?) rolled through around 3 am on Saturday morning. There were reports of baseball sized hail in the area.
I won’t complain about caraganas for a while. The flexible, rooftop-high weeds surrounding much of my yard probably helped to shield the house and ancient Manitoba maples from the brunt of the wind. No shingles gone, no damage aside from a few managable branches down.
Lance (Catprint In The Mash) wasn’t quite as lucky – at his house a large tree went down, taking out the neighbor’s dog run (no dog) in the process, and he lost about 1/3 of the shingles on the south side of his house. His server is also off line, so don’t bother clicking the link for a day or two. Another home had their garage moved from its foundation.
Now that my little report is over, the thread is open for tips.

Cosh, on frequent flier Joel Makower;

51 plane flights in six months for an environmental author and lecturer–embarrassing? Yeah, that’s one way of putting it. Another would be “I guess my entire career has really just been one long act of satire.”

“COSMETOLOGIST????? OJIBWE?????”
I also note that we have a reporter sleeping with someone she covers, and nobody at the WaPo seems to think there’s anything at all unusual or wrong with it. One can only conclude that Washington Post editors have no problem at all with their reporters sleeping with the subjects of their coverage.”
Guess who enjoys nearly double the approval rate of Congress?

The Teamsters intimidate? Hard to believe. (Update – here’s another link).
Sean’s been digging through his photos again.
Burqa courage;

It’s a delicious practice, isn’t it? These vile misanthropes who delight in having women stoned or hanged or flogged, sneaking around in drag rather than facing their Maker. Or the Marines, for that matter, who are firmly committed to arranging the meeting.

I hate it when my stuff ends up in other peoples’ columns.
