update: Indeed. You’d think that media punditry who surf SDA (and other sites) for material would at least have the decency to hit the tip jar on occasion…

    Global Warming Fever Revised
    Saturday, August 11, 2007
    1998 was not the hottest US year ever. Nor was 2006 the runner up. Sure, had you checked NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) website just days ago, you would have thought so, but not today. You see, thanks to the efforts of Steve McIntyre over at http://www.climateaudit.org/, the Surface Air Temperature Anomaly charts for those and many other years have been revised – predominately down. -AmericanThinker

  4. Seaman gets cow pregnant
    THEY are supposed to be some of the brightest students in Britain yet they cannot spell the most basic of words, let alone string a coherent sentence together.
    Now one leading academic has become so appalled by his students’ poor grasp of written English that he has published their mistakes for the nation to snigger at.
    Dr Bernard Lamb, a reader in genetics at Imperial College London, which regularly comes third in league tables behind Oxford and Cambridge, says that after 39 years of marking essays, he can no longer keep silent about the standard of written English he has to put up with….

    Apparently dual citizens are as loyal to Canada as uni-citizens, according to a study by a Montreal firm. They use Statscan figures to prove it, never mentioning the possibility that StatsCan is being told what it wants to hear. All those “Canadians” we rescued in Lebanon, and who went back there as soon as the fighting ended, are as loyal as those of us who were born here, whose families fought in multiple wars for this Country, and died for this Country.
    As we used to say in bar room poker, “bullshit”.

  7. “I’ve suggested before that native Europeans face three enemies simultaneously when fighting against the Islamization of their lands: Enemy 1 is the anti-Western bias of our media and academia, which is a common theme throughout the Western world. Enemy 2 are Eurabians and EU-federalists, who deliberately break down established nation states in favor of a pan-European superstate. Enemy 3 are Muslims. The Netherlands from 2001 to 2007 is a clear case in point where enemies 1, 2 and 3 have successfully cooperated on breaking down the spirit of the native population through intimidation and censorship and by squashing any opposition to continued mass immigration.”

  8. “Historians of another generation will probably come to one of two conclusions regarding Premier Dalton McGuinty’s decision to set up the Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform. Either the Dalt was attempting to achieve a legacy that his legislative record would not otherwise merit, or he was attempting to rig the province’s electoral system to improve the chances of the Liberal Party in future election. A little bit of both from what I can see.”……

    And I do.

  10. The newest Nasa figures finally make the MSM…
    “Besides sending up rickety 1970s-era space shuttles and doing damage control for drunk astronauts, NASA’s focus these days is promoting global warming hype.
    But NASA made an inconvenient admission last week: It has been publishing inaccurate data about the Earth’s temperature. The world is not as hot as NASA has been saying it is.”

  11. “Mountain-bike enthusiast Suzanne Aucoin had to fight more than her Stage IV colon cancer. Her doctor suggested Erbitux—a proven cancer drug that targets cancer cells exclusively, unlike conventional chemotherapies that more crudely kill all fast-growing cells in the body—and Aucoin went to a clinic to begin treatment. But if Erbitux offered hope, Aucoin’s insurance didn’t: she received one inscrutable form letter after another, rejecting her claim for reimbursement. Yet another example of the callous hand of managed care, depriving someone of needed medical help, right? Guess again. Erbitux is standard treatment, covered by insurance companies—in the United States. Aucoin lives in Ontario, Canada.”……from City Journal, an expose on Canadian health care.

  13. PWGSC announces next step in procuring tactical airlift fleet (Canada purchase of 17 C130Js)
    Public Works and Government Services Canada 2007-08-03 | (press release)
    Gatineau, August 3, 2007 – Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) today announced the release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to acquire 17 tactical airlift aircraft (CC-130J Hercules) to Lockheed Martin Corporation.
    The release of the RFP to Lockheed Martin Corporation follows a competitive solicitation of interest and qualification (SOIQ) process, wherein suppliers had the opportunity to indicate interest and demonstrate their ability to meet the project’s mandatory criteria. Three suppliers responded to the SOIQ and upon evaluation, Lockheed Martin Corporation was deemed the only supplier to meet mandatory requirements.
    As part of the RFP, Lockheed Martin Corporation will now be required to submit a formal bid….-

  15. Three Marks on the Horizon
    Michael Yon: Online Magazine
    …Countless acts like these around Iraq are a large part of what has given our guys moral authority with Iraqi Police and Army. Before the war, the Iraqis clearly questioned the courage of our fighters. They no longer question the courage of our fighters, or the abilities of our military leaders.
    Large numbers of Iraqis detested us after the prisoner abuse stories, and some over-the-top attacks on Fallujah, for example. But through time, somehow the American military has managed to establish a moral authority in Iraq. It’s not the only authority, but the military has serious and increasing moral clout. In the beginning, our influence flowed from guns, or dropped from the wings of jets. Later it was the money. Today, the clout still is partially from the gun, and definitely the money is key, but there is an intangible and growing moral clout and it flows from an increasing respect among Iraqis for our military. Washington has no moral clout in Iraq. Washington looks like a circus act. The authority is coming from our military. The importance of this fact would be difficult to understate….-

    “The Iraqis I speak with couldn’t care less what is said from Washington but large numbers of them pay close attention to what some Marine Gunny says, or what American battalion commanders all over Iraq say. Some of our commanders could probably run for local offices in Iraq, and win.”

  18. I don’t know if this was posted earlier in “readers tips’ or not,but here goes. This relates to the picture of steffi doing his weird little dance at the Jewish festival. There was about dozen or so liberals attending and the question came up why so many? I stumbled across an article on the CBC on-line news from July 23. It states that the Bnai brith society is very upset with steffi’s star candidate,Coulon,in Outremont. This fellow has written a few articles praising Hamas and that hasn’t gone over very well with the Jewish community. Hence,a massive turnout of libs at a Jewish function, The link to the article (I hope)–http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2007/07/23/gc-coulon0723.html If Coulon loses Outremont it will be a serious setback to Dion and the libs,though Iggy may benefit.

  19. Iraq war support on the upswing
    Pollsters and the news media are flummoxed. Despite the tsunami of negative news about the Iraq war that floods America every day, Americans refuse to be fooled forever. Finally, they’re warming up to the notions that a) this is a war had to be fought or the terrorists would bring the fight to U.S. shores, and b) the troop surge and Gen. David Petraeus’ new military strategy in Iraq are turning the tide.
    The latest USA Today/Gallup Poll shows 31 percent of respondents now believe the surge is working (24 percent say it’s not), a nine-point improvement from July with most of the new support coming from people who once thought it was making no difference. …-

    Dutch bishop urges faithful to call God Allah
    Radio Netherlands
    Breda – The Dutch Roman Catholic bishop Tiny Muskens is urging the faithful of all religions to call God Allah in order to foster mutual understanding. The bishop of the city of Breda says God does not mind what he is called and points out that Allah is the Arabic word for God. The bishop, who is retiring in a few weeks, added he did not expect his ideas to find immediate acceptance. He expects it could take 100 or 200 years. Bishop Muskens has previously defied the Vatican by calling for the acceptance of married priests and the use of condoms against aids. He has also said that those who are poor may steal bread….-

  22. 80 million for 50 million trees. they would be small indeed.
    suppose the law firm of Dalton and McGuinty expect Alberta to pay for it under the carbon credit scam.

  24. Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, no longer has a socialist as Mayor.
    …-
    A report for the city’s long-range financial planning committee shows 500 jobs could be cut without affecting services. Mayor O’Brien believes 1000 jobs can be cut. And the mayor will not hire a new chief of staff saying, “I’m rejigging my office a little bit to be more in line with my own personal style of management”
    I like the mayor’s business approach in the running the city. He is the “CEO”
    92.1%
    I think the mayor needs to listen more and consult more
