How hard would it be to get a restraining order that forbade Warren Kinsella from getting within twenty feet of a word processor, typewriter, pen, crayon, or any other object commonly used for the writing of words?

By the way, I used to have a fairly large collection rock records, including some punk. I hauled them all away to the used record store after I got out of college. I was about twenty five, too.

No Bush on TIME magazine’s annual Top 100 Most Influential People list. What does it say about the U.S. when a national news magazine thinks Rosie O’Donnell, Justin Timberlake and the actor who plays Borat are more influential than President Bush?
What’s even more remarkable is that Bush went from #1 in 2004, to nowhere to be found in 2007.

More on Newfoundland Danny Williams hysterics and melt down:
http://offalnews.blogspot.com/2007/05/public-policy-partisan-and-personal.html
And THIS is from a Liblog about Williams recent speech to the Economic Club of Toronto:The site has an audio clip of the speech.
Excerpt:
With the exception of one brief and bizarre moment, this clip is unrelentingly grim, dark, venomous, depressing, negative and spitefully sarcastic.
The one single moment of any levity is a weak-hearted joke about ending his life with a bullet.
It’s hard to tell whether he means a shot by a detractor or by his own gun but with his stratospheric approval ratings, it’s hard to believe that there are any substantial detractors left to take the shot.
In the dull, flat and affectless tone of his voice, you hear the same kind of driving will to live that you hear in men who have come home after being fired just to find out that their wife has cleared out the bank accounts and have run away with your best friend in your carefully restored antique auto.
While he claims a message of hope, his tone has a bleakness that belies his words.
And just as unnerving as his tone is the content: it is extreme and simplistic. He trots out a series of unconnected and unrepresentative examples to prove his “case” that everything anyone has ever said about him or his government is wrong.
It’s not unusual to see political or partisan differences between first ministers. But these kinds of differences are left to the backrooms, rarely leaking out. The goal among professional politicians is to put their personal and political differences aside in order to promote the common good.
So even when politicians go on national speaking tours to slag one another, it is cloaked in policy differences with the personal antagonisms relegated to the back burner. Not this time. This time the personal and political antagonisms are front and center.
Gas Prices Could Hit Record in May
MoneyNews
Wednesday, May 2, 2007
NEW YORK — U.S. retail gasoline prices could hit an all-time high by the end of this month due to ongoing problems at the nation’s oil refineries, automobile and travel group AAA said Wednesday.
Gasoline prices have surged 30 cents since early April to $2.97 a gallon on average, bringing them within a dime of the record struck after Hurricane Katrina shut down refineries along the Gulf Coast in 2005.
**The nationwide average price of self-serve regular will probably hit $3 per gallon in the next few days, and could possibly set a new all-time record high price before the end of the month,** AAA said.

OK, so you think a hybrid is the answer?
Wrong! It will save you gas, When gas is for sale at the pumps, but when Iran makes a blast off shore, you can bet all gasoline will be held for military and emergency services use.
Hybrids and gas / diesel vehicles alike will sit in driveways.
A battery car or EV is designed to avoid the liability of gasoline.
All those seniors on 4 wheel EVs and those who use electric motorbikes [scooterteq], will likely have smug looks on their faces on *No Gas* day. And the Fwench will get their mail on 10,000 California made EVs. Shame on us!
So while we still have gas available, you could be driving an ordinary Honda Insight 50 mpg [700 miles per tank] or a bio-oil VW Jetta TDI if you have access to bio-diesel in your area. 49 mpg.
Hybrids make sense if you know for certain that gas supply will never be cut off.
Logic suggests the opposite is likely. = TG

MOONBAT BETTY DOESN’T THINK HER VIEWS ARE PECULIAR.
In an editorial on Wednesday, May 2, the Winnipeg Free Press commented on the May-Dion political alliance and reported on her strange characterization of the Harper government’s climate change plan. Its conclusion? “All of this leaves many Canadians — many Liberals — furiously wondering what Mr. Dion thinks he is doing here. From Ms. May’s point of view, it’s great — she gets to share whatever credibility the federal Liberals have. All Mr. Dion gets is the political albatross of Ms. May’s peculiar views.”
http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/subscriber/editorial/story/3956431p-4568855c.html
(behind subscriber firewall)
Moonbat Betty responded in a letter to the newspaper on Saturday, May 5. She said: “Many things have been written about my oft-misreported comments related to the Stephen Harper climate plan. None were as irresponsible as your editorial.” She claims her views are not “peculiar”. As evidence that they are not peculiar, she cites the concurring viewpoint of the aptly-named George Monbiot (“Mr. Monbiot is what is generally called an opinion leader” she states) as well as the lemming-like agreement of a few hundred attendees at Monbiot’s address to the Toronto Green Living Show, hosted by that noted moderate, Margaret Atwood. Further evidence is the agreement of similarly afflicted persons attending a “United Church group in London, Ontario”.
In the land of the wingnuts, the completely unhinged is king (or queen).
Unlike Ms. May, the only problem I had with the Free Press editorial was its use of the terms “federal liberals” and “credibility” in the same sentence.
Here is the full text of Ms. May’s letter:
Re: Usual words fail, May 2.
Many things have been written about my oft-misreported comments related to the Stephen Harper climate plan. None were as irresponsible as your editorial. Had you made any effort to verify what I actually said, you would have discovered that I was quoting a very respected international expert, George Monbiot. As the author of the best-selling climate warning, Heat, and a well known journalist with the UK newspaper, The Guardian, Mr. Monbiot is what is generally called “an opinion leader.” Speaking at the Toronto Green Living Show, at a session hosted by Margaret Atwood, he was asked about the new Harper climate plan which leaves any pretense of Canada meeting our international treaty obligations under Kyoto in tatters. Monbiot expressed what many globally see. Our nation is now held in disrepute. Monbiot said, “(Harper’s failure) will be judged in the eyes of history as more culpable than Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement.”
Not one of the several hundred people in attendance found flaw or fault with Monbiot’s condemnation of our government’s irresponsibility. Neither did any of those in attendance in the United church group in London, Ont., where I cited Monbiot’s views.
Meanwhile, Harper saw a way out of the increasing unpopularity of his climate plan. His front benchers were also making a mess of any plausible story of how Canada handles Afghan detainees. His solution: change the focus to a persistent attack on my (misreported) comments. It was the act of a bully and a coward, as I was not able to defend myself in the House of Commons. All the more reason for the Green party to be in the leaders’ debate and to win many seats in the next election. My views are not “peculiar.” What is peculiar is the media feeding frenzy and failure to confirm basic facts before moving into attack mode.

His dismissal by the newspaper’s parent corporation, CanWest Global Communications Corp., set off a strong reaction in the Ottawa community and throughout Canada over concerns of press freedom and independence from corporate influence.
Reporters at the Citizen withheld their bylines from stories, Ottawa city council members denounced the firing, and some members of Parliament called for an investigation into the relationship between CanWest and Chrétien’s Liberal Party government.

Backgrounder — Modernizing NORAD’s Air Defence System
DND/Canadian Forces. […]
With the unforeseen events of September 11, 2001, came a greater importance on air defence in North America. The United States re-examined its decision to maintain the status quo and accelerated its internal development of a replacement long-term U.S. air defence solution. By 2003, the United States had chosen the Battle Control System-Fixed (BCS-F) as the long-term NORAD air defence system, and invited Canada to be a part of the BCS-F program. Since the original intent of modernizing NORAD had been to have one long term, common operating solution, the invitation was approved and Canada officially accepted the offer in June 2004. A foreign military sale, valued at $12.5 million, was established with United States Air Force Electronic Systems Centre to acquire the BCS-F in August 2004. The system was installed in November 2005, and achieved initial operational capability (including the four United States sectors) in October 2006. Concurrently, a new above ground complex was constructed, with the internal communications system installed and integrated into it.
Conclusion
The successful result is that NORAD is now operating with the long-term system solution to ensure that Canada and the United States can maximize their vigilant joint protection of North America in this new age of security threats. …-

The sparse attendance is indicative of how in the dark people are kept. It is an outrage that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has not removed CAIR-New York President Omar Mohammedi from the New York City Commission on Human Rights. Mohammedi was appointed to the Commission in October of 2002.
Terror lawyer Mohammedi represents a number of organizations that are the defendants in a 9/11 lawsuit for the murder of 3000 innocent people.

Idiotization of the masses
David Warren, The Ottawa Citizen
Published: Sunday, May 06, 2007
In my absence I see that the Conservative government I voted for has embraced a broad new “post-Kyoto” nanny-state environmentalist agenda, to head off competition from the environmentalist lunatics on the other side of the Commons floor. Also, that they have sunk in the polls — having been trashed by the media for insufficient environmentalist zeal, and for insufficient sensitivity to the health and safety concerns of Islamist psychopaths caught red-handed by our military in Afghanistan.
The sense that one is returning from vacation to a madhouse is on me again. The question of whether democracy was really such a great idea bubbles again to the surface.
Not a serious question, of course. We are stuck with our system just as it has evolved — representative government for a population that has been idiotized — and there are only two ways forward.
One is to somehow make the people smarter, so that they forcefully demand the elimination of government from all gratuitous nannying and redistributive functions, and its return to protecting us from criminals at home and tyrants abroad.
In other words, we all agree to grow up, and to re-assume, at the individual and family level, the risks that come from having been born on this planet.
And the other is to continue sinking.
For I simply do not have the means to overthrow the existing regime and install something more sensible. …-

Ontario Liberals are calling yesterday’s nomination of “right-wing radical” Randy Hillier to the Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington riding as the provincial Conservative candidate a return to the “divisive” Mike Harris days.

As the outspoken former president of the Lanark Landowners Association, Hillier was famous for the slogan, “Back Off Government,” which appeared on protest placards and on signs in farmers’ fields across rural Ontario.
Now he wants to be a part of that government, but “I still want government to back off,” he told Sun Media.

King Canute in Reverse?
The Popular Science blog has links to a photo essay “on the rapidly disappearing town of Shishmaref on the ABC News Web site. The coastal Alaskan village has about 600 residents and is believed to have been inhabited (on and off) for 4,000 years. Today, with water rising about 10 feet a year, it’s in danger of sinking. The population of Shishmaref may soon count themselves among the first wave of global-warming refugees.”
The Popular Science accounts gives the impression that the sea levels have risen by 10 feet a year on the Alaskan coast. But accounts of islands that are “sinking” have been shown due to factors which cause subsidence in the land. Anyone who claims that the sea level goes up 10 feet a year in Alaska due, presumably to melting Polar ice caps, should explain why the Sydney Opera House is still visible, or why anyone with beachfront property is not drowned unless the sea can change its level in one place and not in another.

Watching and listening to liberal talking heads etc, it seems they are very upset that the govt keeps referring to them as taliban lovers. When you spend 2 weeks asking questions about the treatment of said taliban prisoners, and condeming the treatment of them, what other impression can the voter get. Their internal polls must be showing it is sticking to them like crazy glue. Yes the govt has taken a hit re this, but again, 2 weeks of receiving mud from the opposition, who believe a reporters said interview with a prisoner, with no pics to back it up, one wonders who is lying. I think the govt is responding to reports of torture that happens in prisons, not when a person sees a potential prisoner being abused by afghans and stops it, and then takes the prisoner. Apples and oranges.
Our troops stopped a taliban from being tortured and then turned him over to the proper authorities. Scott Reid tries to make this out that Harper was lying re reports of torture.

They implied it with malevolence and the voter will see it. Too bad they weren’t emboldened enough to force election; its easier to scream from the hypocrite gallery with no solutions, and your press buddies muddying waters on fact Libs designed detainee exchange policy.
Hope Harper really goes after them on this one. He should serve notice of his legislative agenda and that any attempt by opposition to usurp government authority here will result in election, despite fixed dates bill.
