Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, to celebrate my new role as launcher of the daily Reader Tips entry (see below), here for your delectation is Sniff & the Tears performing Driver’s Seat (1978, 03:46).
Jenny was sweet,
She always smiled for the people she meet.
On trouble and strife:
She had another way of looking at life.The news is blue (the news is blue),
Has its own way of getting to you.
What can I do (what can I do),
When I remember my time with you?Pick up your feet,
Got to move to the trick of the beat.
There is no elite,
Just take your place in the driver’s seat.
Your Reader Tips are of course, as always, welcome in the comments.
Thanks everyone for your kind support, after last night’s show and the SDA LNR Classics show, for these new amalgamated Reader Tips and SDA LNR entries. I’ve consulted with Kate, and at least for now the scope of this venture is that I will post the daily Reader Tips entry, usually using the Late Nite Radio show as the anchor for the entry. This has the primary advantage of taking seven utility entries a week off Kate’s busy schedule, with the secondary effect of providing a formal home for the apparently popular Late Nite Radio shows (without the overhead of dedicating entire entries just for the nightly show).
Note that Kate mentioned that from time to time she may add some of her own Reader Tips to the entry, after the show has been posted, so don’t be surprised if you see some of that.
I plan to post the Reader Tips entry at approximately 21:00 central time every evening (thus providing both the Late Nite context, and a chance for folks to catch the show on that night, not only in Pacific, Mountain, and Central Canada, but also in Eastern, Atlantic, and Newfoundland Canada), but it will be dated 12:01 the next day, since the principal purpose for the entries is the next day’s Reader Tips. The format will be generally as above, with links to the SDA LNR archives (in the Good Evening sentence), the artist(s) involved, and the performance itself (but usually without the lyrics, those above are a special bonus relevant to tonight’s show).
My intention is to draw the show content from audio/video performances publicly available at Google, YouTube, &c, including music, comedy, interviews, old-time radio shows, and stuff like that. Recommendations for future shows are always appreciated, especially considering that the new regularity of SDA LNR will make it difficult for me to always come up with “classic hits” on my own. Even then, some days there may be no show, just Reader Tips, and some days I may revisit classic performances from previous shows made long ago (in Internet time).
Please use the email address available via the “SDA Late Nite Radio” link shown at the beginning of each entry to send me your recommendations. I do request though a little quality control, please avoid selections with only fair or poor audio or video quality (other than special archival items), entries that are not suitable to a general audience or not safe for work, and “angry young man” or politically strident music (there’s enough of that in the news already ~ the news is blue).
And one last thing, please try to keep in mind that this is the general purpose Reader Tips entry (as the title says), the LNR show is just a single seed tip, and in particular these entries are not Late Nite Radio arguments. So let’s try to keep the latter from getting out of hand. Never forget: de gustibus non disputandum est, which means: there is no arguing taste.
I always thought the Greg Kihn Band sang that song.
Congrats on the new “gig” Vit!
Why is the date always wrong? Is it already June 4th in Saskatchewan?
An Andrews Sisters Classic: ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CUw1Km35Gg
Mike514,
ever since the NDP was booted out last fall SK is no longer behind the rest of the nation. They are now leading the pack!
Actually, Vit explains it in the preamble.
Thanks Gunney99, now I have a craving for some Old Sam and Coke!
It’s always after 5 somewhere, Mike. Yeah, yeah, I know, I’m playin’ with virtual time and real time. But look, the objective is to select a time context that suits the amalgamation of both the tonight’s LNR shtick, and the tomorrow’s Reader Tips launch. Hey, we’ll see how it works. That’s one of the nice things about this here collaborative intarwebonetosphere, we can kind of try things out, see how they work, and then make appropriate adjustments. And I’ve been wrong before. But at least I clearly stated my intentions, so we can study and evolve forward from there. For now, let’s take ‘er for a spin for a few days, see how it works out. Then we can finess adjustments.
Perhaps I can add some meat to those bones. SDA server time, Mike, is eastern, so Saskatchewan doesn’t enter into it, timestampwise. Right now, as I post this, if someone in atlantic Canada views this entry, their date will be correct. In 40 minutes, eastern Canada will get the correct date. Even if everything was on central time, for two hours each night pacific Canada would have the “wrong” date. What I’m looking for is a rimshot, not a metronome click, so you can see I think the relative complexity. And if not, well, sit back, enjoy the show. Why are you paying so much attention to the clock anyway?
Jenny was sweet
but not as sweet
as her bicycle seat
Yeah, bicycle seat
Yeah, bicycle seat.
That how I’ve always sung it.
And now you know better, it’s the SDA educational experience.
ward, you been sniffin bicycle seats again?
So now I’m drinking Rum & Coke and watching Youtube videos from my teenage years.
For Mark, Ezra and Macleans…may peace be upon you… As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم)

We’re doing alright

I’ll never remember my time with you
So pick up your feet
got to move to the trick of the beat
there is no elite
just take your place in the driver’s seat.

Here’s a good post on the subject of Vaclav Klaus’ May 28 speech in Washington, with links to that speech and to an interview on American television.
http://xanthippaschamberpot.wordpress.com/2008/05/29/vaclav-klaus-washington-cei-speech/
Xanthippa notes that Havel points out that a lot of the people who are pushing for world authorities to regulate carbon emissions were also advocating it 30 years ago in the name of world socialism.
Klaus is really one of the bright spots in the world in terms of national leaders. As his American interviewer notes, “you are closer to our founding father than some of the people running for President.”
The interviewer also asks Klaus what’s positive, what’s good about America: “Well, I am a pragmatist, and I know that you can compare either reality with reality, or model with model. Or model with reality, but to compare model and the reality of a different system is wrong. So when I look at the United States of America it is the country which much more freedom than any other part of the world, so for us, the US is the guarantor of freedom and in this respect we are very, very glad that the country exists and based on such ideals as it is.”
At one point he is asked, can Communism work?
“Absolutely not.”
Thanks EBD for that link.
I’ll have to start digging around for his book,
“Blue Planet in Green Shackles”
I googled Chapters without any luck.
The fact that he was re-elected after full disclosure of his absolute disdain for AGW gives me hope.
Maybe it’s not to late for Canada to wake up and denounce Suezuchi and Dion for the snake-oil pushers they are.

New bill would see immigrant seniors receiving Old Age Security payments sooner
Most immigrants these days arrive from countries – among them China, Pakistan and African nations – without a social security agreement with Canada.
As a result, Canada won’t give immigrant seniors its Old Age Security payments until they live here for 10 years, which a coalition of advocates say is unjust.
They want MPs to pass a Liberal private member’s bill, slated for its third reading in Ottawa this month, that would cut the wait to three years….

“The glamor of evil
Simon Montefiore performs the invaluable service of reminding us that a love for learning, charm, great erudition, a prodigious memory, a fine singing voice, a talent for oratory and a steady nerve are not incompatible with homicidal mania. The man with all these qualities held forth with artists like Babel, Akhmatova, Eisenstein, and Shostakovich; was the patron of Maxim Gorky and was a fan of Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy. He had tremendous people skills; he knew when to flatter, compromise or wait. The man remembered as Josef Stalin, for whom “the solution to every human problem was death”, knew how to wait.”

“Spending the day with Justin Trudeau”
“As Mr. Barbati, Wojcicki, and I said goodbye, we were truly sad to see Justin go. His day with us had been a fabulous one, and we really appreciated his message. The thrill didn’t stop there, however, as he gave me the classic “French double-kiss” and a friend happened to get a picture of it! Needless to say, I am the envy of many a girl. From his heartfelt conversation about his wife in the limo, to his passionate speech on stage, Justin Trudeau proved himself to be an admirable man who I am sure will go on to do incredible things.”

Is the CPC really serious about passing these “copyright protection” laws?
This is political suicide! Not to mention an attack on individuals. We’ve been paying attention to Ezra and to the goings on in the US primaries, but this is a stealth disaster in the making!! People should be talking to their CPC contacts about this.
“Reports suggest that the updated Canadian legislation, which Ottawa insiders say is likely to surface either Tuesday or Wednesday next week, could lead to consumers facing fines of as much as $500 for every illegal file they download from the Internet. It could also make it illegal to unlock cellphones, transfer music from CDs to digital music players such as iPods, or copy time shifted television programs.”

You may not care about intellectuals; but, intellectuals care about you.
Unger’s “struggling”? It’s his Mein Kampf (My Struggle/Battle).
If Hussein Obama becomes POTUS, Unger’s idea is the future: Utopia, aka “a synoptic desire to connect all areas of life and thought,”
“If he [Unger] returns to the United States, it could be under the administration of a former “terrific” student named Obama, with whom he’s “kept in touch.”” (ibid)
Notice the title: “Boss Nova”: Da new-old boss of the new-old pyramid scheme of socialism. Guess who would be da nova/new boss? Not Unger; the other guy.

“Boss Nova
Harvard Law’s Roberto Unger takes on the future of Brazil”
“”my mother read to me Benjamin Jowett’s translation of Plato’s Republic, and that aroused my imagination very powerfully.””
“Unger also began to develop his characteristic bent in political theory: a synoptic desire to connect all areas of life and thought, to articulate large forms of systematic intellectual architecture by reflecting on friction among concepts in specific contexts. From early on, he says, the “idea that greater universality and greater depth is achieved by struggling through the more particular” seemed to him “the most promising path of thought.””
“praised his project as “the most significant attempt to articulate a Third-Wave Left romanticism that builds on the best of the Jefferson-Emerson-Dewey and Rousseau-Marx-Gramsci legacies.””
“CLS’s [critical legal studies] “most significant legacy” is to treat legal thought “as an inquiry into the possibilities of reconstruction” — a tool for devising better institutions.”
“his effort over 30 years, he says, has rested on the principle that “it is not enough to humanize the inevitable, it is necessary to reconstruct the existent.”
“In his alternative to tropical Sweden, every institution in Brazil faces reconsideration. He seeks an approach to public policy that “would be radical in its outcome, but nevertheless experimental and gradualist in its method.””

David Warren on the “Show Trial”
“The writings of Canada’s most talented journalist, Mark Steyn, went on trial in Vancouver on Monday, in a case designed to challenge freedom of the press. It is a show trial, under the arbitrary powers given to Canada’s obscene “human rights” commissions, by Section 13 of our Human Rights Act.
I wrote “obscene” advisedly. A respondent who comes before Canada’s “human rights” tribunals has none of the defences formerly guaranteed in common law. The truth is no defence, reasonable intention is no defence, nor material harmlessness, there are no rules of evidence, no precedents, nor case law of any kind. The commissars running the tribunals need have no legal training, exhibit none, and owe their appointments to networking among leftwing activists.
I wrote “show trial” advisedly, for there has been a 100 per cent conviction rate in cases brought to “human rights” tribunals under Section 13.”

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal is murdering its own reputation by putting on trial an offensive article published by Maclean’s magazine two years ago.
In one of the most bizarre legal proceedings to have occurred in this province, a three-member panel chaired by Heather MacNaughton is hearing evidence to determine whether writer Mark Steyn incited hatred against Muslims in the national weekly owned by Rogers Publishing Ltd.
It is institutional hara-kiri, in my opinion.”

Giant Catfish Terrorizes Swimmers at Berlin Lake
A number of German bathers in Berlin’s Schlachtensee lake have been bitten by what is believed to be a giant catfish. Many are now apprehensive about escaping the summer heat with a dip…
Holgate also said that, based upon his 20 years as a catfish expert, instances of catfish attacking humans are “extremely rare.”
“And if you do get bit,” Holgate added, “your biggest danger is infection from the dirty water.”
German scientists are developing Eco-friendly bombs. The bombs are nitrogen based so they don’t release harmful CO2 into the atmosphere. They do however release harmful metal shards and head crushing shockwaves into the armosphere – but provided they’re not dropping the bombs on polar bears, it’s just the kind of thing envrionmentalists have been waiting for.

An important anniversary:
Bruce Gilley, The Beginning of the End
Nineteen years ago today, China’s ruling Communist Party consigned itself to the history books. Not immediately, of course. But the harsh crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing had the unintended consequence of forcing the regime to rethink its relationship to Chinese society. In essence, the regime realized that it would not last long if it relied upon force. The simultaneous collapse of communist regimes in Europe was a reminder that it also could not rely upon the mantle of a revolutionary history. Instead, the party would need to rely mainly upon serving the Chinese people (for the first time)…

He knows nothing about copyright law per se – especially within the digital media, nor much about the $20 billion dollars his ministry shovels out the door (per year!) to gladhanding welfare cases – dressed up as businessmen.
But his role in the Indian Industry did prep him to shovel out the $dough$ though, so, I guess that’s what is meant by his ‘qualifications’ for the job.

ELK POINT, S.D. – Union county approves building of new refinery.
Here’s what’s interesting:
Hyperion touted the so-called “green” technology in its proposed energy center, which it claims would be the world’s cleanest. The refinery would process 400,000 barrels of tar sands crude from Alberta into low-sulfur gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
Wonder what Stelmach thinks of that.

David Shushon, Zionism for Christians
Israel always matters. Biblical scholars have devoted endless pages to ancient Israel as a religious idea, and pundits have penned endless newspaper columns about modern Israel as a geopolitical entity. The deeper implications, however, have received less attention than they deserve in recent years, overshadowed by the exigencies of Middle Eastern politics. Indeed, real questions remain: What does the sheer existence of the modern state of Israel mean for theology—particularly for Christian theology? And what does that theology mean for the continuing existence of Israel?

The group behind the announcement is called The Prophet Unites Us, a union of Jordanian media organisations, organisations and private individuals.
‘The public prosecutor decided to summon the Danes for a series of criminal offences. Now the Danes have to meet in Jordan,’ said Zakaria al-Sheikh, the group’s general secretary, to Politiken newspaper.
He explained that the public prosecutor will ask the Danish embassy for help in contacting Danish officials to arrange the meeting of the editors.
Osama al-Bettar, the group’s lawyer, said that if the Danes do not appear, the next step will be to inform Interpol and seek their arrest….
