Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, here are Yello (Dieter Meier & Boris Blank) performing Desire, from their Stella album (1985, 4:20, play it loud). It occurs to me that this may not be considered safe for work in some contexts (though I do think it is tasteful), viewer discretion is advised.
Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.
Tonight’s Reader Tips entry has been set up as a scheduled post because I will be at a symposium at the regularly scheduled time, and may not be able to get to an Internet terminal to launch it. In some cases scheduled posts don’t allow comments after they appear, so if that happens here, please be patient and I’ll try to rebuild the entry as soon as I can. Thanks.

So the guy who left his children to freeze in the snow is back in the news. It has been reveled that back in 2007 he assaulted the mother of the two children. He has since then broken his probation order two times and a short lived fail to appear. The real crime here is the NO JUSTICE SYSTEM will do nothing to make this man (BOY) accountable for his crimes. Had a judge (GLORIFIED BABY SITTER) sent him to jail after the second parole violation then these two children might still be alive.
Lawrence Joseph seems to cry wolf every time a drunken knife wielding Indian gets shot. What Mr. Joseph fails to do is lose much sleep when one of his brothers KILLS HIS CHILDREN, or RAPES and MURDERS a YOUNG ABORIGINAL WOMAN, or THROWS AN INDIAN BABY IN THE TOILET, or DRIVES A VEHICLE WHILE DRUNK DOWN the HIGHWAY and KILLS an INNOCENT WHITE CHILD, or an ABORIGINAL WOMAN KILLS 6 PEOPLE WHILE DRUNK AND SUSPENDED FROM DRIVING, I could go on and on but you get the picture.
I’m just one TAXPAYER that is FED UP, PERIOD.

Vit, do you have anything by the happy gang? Just listened to Ellery Queen, that was something else, thanks, it brought back a lot of child hood memories.
John Cross – just to keep this point alive until the next AGW thread, as the last was closed down to comment.
John: “…having said that I believe that a consensus exists but it is a scientific consensus that arises by a thousand individual scientists…
This is precisely what I mean – you claim consensus when there isn’t one!! Until you acknowledge that there is a large, if not larger, scientific body that disagrees with the theory of AGW then you have no credibility.
John: “…it it is just as important to admit that if you poke a hole in one part, only that part is affected, the rest stands…”
Sorry John, that is NOT how science works. Theories are NOT created from iid components, every component of a theory is essential to the overall structure. Otherwise it doesn’t belong to the theory.
Just what part of Relativity could I poke a hole in and still have the rest stand without question??
By stating your three points, you clearly support this general hole-poking viewpoint. All anyone need do is poke a hole in one of those three and it falls down.
However, I think you are taking great liberties with just having three points. There are a lot more factors involved in climate and it is scientific dishonesty to arbitrarily limit yourself to such a small subsection – and you know that!!!!
I will wait to the next thread for further discussion.
“Cree remove B.C. blockade because drivers blast through
The Kelly Lake Cree Nation took down a highway blockade near the Alberta-B.C. border Saturday because of a close call with angry and dangerous drivers, band spokesman Clayton Anderson said.
Anderson said he was walking toward a vehicle at the blockade on Highway 52, about 180 kilometres southeast of Chetwynd, in northeastern B.C., when “this guy just steps on the gas and practically runs me over.”
He was nicked, Anderson said, and then “these two big rigs and a pickup sped through here and literally just about running over my people.”(cbc)
Revnant Dream: Thanks for the link to Bishop Fred Henry’s stinging rebuke to Premier Ed Stelmach. (Doesn’t “premier” mean “first”? In this context, it would appear to refer to Ed Stelmach’s being a first-class jerk and dissembler, certainly no leader…)
Why is it that it is only Roman Catholic leaders who seem to have jumped into the fray when free-born citizens’ freedom of expression and religion rights are being trampled underfoot by the jackboot of the State? Why are other Christian denominations not being heard from, for instance, where’s the leader of the Rev. Boissoin’s own denomination? Why isn’t s/he speaking up?
Because of the Pope’s contining, clear, and staunch defence of millennia-held values (e.g., all human life is sacred from conception to natural death; marriage is, necessarily, between one man and one woman) I have become a Catholic Christian. It has been the clear and unwavering witness of the Catholic Church, in spite of scathing (unfair and bigoted, I might add) press and public opinion that has spoken deeply to my sense of fairness and justice in our world.
The Roman Catholic Church is holding the moral line in a secular world grown increasingly prone to legitimizing death cults and the snatching of human rights from those with whom secular humanists disagree. The Pope’s clear understanding (whether Pope John Paul II or Pope Benedict XVI) that the world is in thrall to “a culture of death” helped me to see that crossing the Tiber was my only option if I, too, were going to take a consistent and logical moral and spiritual stand in a world gone mad.
We need all Christians to stand up and say “enough is enough.” United we stand, divided we fall. All it takes for evil to triumph is for good wo/men to do nothing. We don’t have much time left before the world plunges into total darkness: What more evidence do Christians, or well-meaning non-Christians, need that the fire of civilization is close to being extinguished?
“El Salvador’s role of aiding Jews in WW II finally told
WASHINGTON — During World War II, more than 25,000 European Jews became citizens of El Salvador, a country most had never visited and few ever would.
The country, roughly the size of Israel, would come to justify its Spanish name as “the savior” thanks to bogus certificates that made thousands of Jews citizens of El Salvador and kept them from being deported to concentration camps.
The signature on nearly all the certificates was that of George Mandel-Mantello, a Romanian Jewish refugee who in the early 1940s sought help from a Salvadoran acquaintance in Switzerland.
The El Salvador consul general in Geneva, Col. Jose Castellanos, appointed Mantello to the made-up position of first secretary, securing him a diplomat’s passport.
The name Mantello was added to make his name sound more Latin.
The operation Mantello and Castellanos arranged to have blank nationality certificates with Mantello’s signature taken to consulates in various countries of Geneva, where they received additional stamps.
The text stated that the holders were citizens of the Republic of El Salvador, which extended its protection to the holders and their families.
Other diplomats then smuggled the certificates to various locations in Europe — primarily Hungary — where they were filled out with the Jewish people’s information.
Most of Mantello’s and Castellanos’ papers were smuggled to Budapest and issued by Carl Lutz, the Swiss vice-consul there, who was helping Jews obtain papers at his “Glass House,” an abandoned glass factory he rented on behalf of the Swiss government, which became a safe haven for thousands of Jews.”

“Harper gov’t achievements — longest minority since 1921!
Fellow conservatives, let’s celebrate the fact that, in spite of opposition “gotcha” politics and a Liberal opposition too weak to take the government down (by sitting on their hands or not showing up for parliamentary votes), the Harper government is the longest sitting Canadian minority since the election of 1921.”

From the man behind the curtain. Yes, you’re right Harper is a bully too, being mean to all those parties that have way more seats than him, and control Parliament. Let’s have an election to get rid of this guy who has only minority level support, unlike Stephane Dion who is sure Canadians want to punish polluters (those masochistic b******s).

“Muslim Mindset: ‘The hatred is in Muhammad himself”
(Jerusalem Post)
…Not so for Ali Sina, who has a different suggestion: destroy Islam.
Sina grew up a non-practicing Muslim. Raised in Iran, educated in Pakistan and Italy and now living in Canada, he began jousting with believers in the 1990s. What bothered him, he tells The Jerusalem Post, was not the penchant for jihad and intolerance that certain fanatical Muslims displayed, but the foundation for such ills in the Koran and core Islamic texts.
Through the Faith Freedom Web site, Sina lists canonical references to Muhammad’s actions and offers $50,000 to anyone who can disprove Sina’s charge that Islam’s prophet was “a narcissist, a misogynist, a rapist, a pedophile, a lecher, a torturer, a mass murderer, a cult leader, an assassin, a terrorist, a mad man and a looter.” Respondents relentlessly attack Sina’s motives, but none has won the prize.
———–
Anybody who has studied the Islamic trilogy and Mohammad knows this is the truth. Islam cannot be reformed without throwing Mohammad under the bus. And getting rid of most of the texts.

An article on the DoD not acknowledging, let alone studying Islamic warfare “Know your enemy” at American Thinker:
– and that the only function of the peace treaty, or “hudna,” is to give the Islamic armies time to regroup for a renewed offensive, and should, in theory, last no more than ten years.
Koranic verses 3:28 and 16:106, as well as Muhammad’s famous assertion, “War is deceit,” have all led to the formulation of a number of doctrines of dissimulation-the most notorious among them being the doctrine of “Taqiyya,” which permits Muslims to lie and dissemble whenever they are under the authority of the infidel. Deception has such a prominent role that renowned Muslim scholar Ibn al-Arabi declares: “[I]n the Hadith, practicing deceit in war is well demonstrated. Indeed, its need is more stressed than [the need for] courage” (The Al Qaeda Reader, 142).
