I Felt A Great Disturbance In The Narrative
The Ferguson protest movement held a meeting tonight at St. Mark Family Church on Glen Owen Drive.
The protesters took time out from their meeting to beat a college student.
Then they chased him down the street screaming.
They were just rehearsing.

“I know there are other things Canada could do, that other countries wouldn’t be able to do just as well…There’s a lot of people, refugees, displaced peoples fleeing violence who are facing a very, very cold winter in the mountains. If something Canada has expertise on is how to face a winter in the mountains with the right kind of equipment,” said Trudeau while motioning towards a window facing Jasper National Park.
Heh.

Finally (if only because I’ve run out of space): if genuine seekers must struggle to break into the media in Canada, one reason is that, unless your surname is Fulford, Richler, Paikin, Frum — or you’re Trudeau spawn, however tangentially — you’re more screwed than one of Jian’s conquests.
Related, and just as good: “Uh, you’re some douche with a radio show. What are you gonna do, sing a crappy comedy folk song about me?”

A police report detailing a fight last month between members of Michael Brown’s family over the sale of commemorative t-shirts identifies the late teenager’s mother as one of the “attackers” who beat and robbed vendors selling the merchandise from a tent in a Ferguson, Missouri parking lot.

A Meta-Analysis of the Impacts of Genetically Modified Crops
On average, GM technology adoption has reduced chemical pesticide use by 37%, increased crop yields by 22%, and increased farmer profits by 68%. Yield gains and pesticide reductions are larger for insect-resistant crops than for herbicide-tolerant crops. Yield and profit gains are higher in developing countries than in developed countries.
“I feel like roadkill”
Cari Parker signed up back in early 2013 to make a difference, to help a grass-roots political group named Battleground Texas change the Lone Star State from red to purple, and make it a place where Democrats could compete in statewide elections once again.
“For all the work, it went the other way,” Parker, 28, said Wednesday, the day after the election, which saw Democrats post their worst statewide losses in years.
