Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Sunday night classical music show, here are the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra performing the finale from Johannes Brahms‘s Symphony #1, Leonard Bernstein conducting (9:57).
Update: Courtesy of EBD in the comments, here is Mr. Andrew Coyne’s most excellent essay: The Tories Made Them Do It.
Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.

Got this in my e-mail this morning.
You know what would really PI$$ OFF the Democrats…
Bush should resign now.
Then Dick Cheney, would become President (that would really PI$$ OFF the liberals)!!!
Then he appoints Condoleeza Rice as VP.
Then Cheney resigns two weeks later and Condoleeza Rice, A Republican,
becomes the first BLACK President and the first WOMAN President !
What this cabal plans to do, is take power away, not merely from the legitimate government, but from the people.
Layton’s plan to hold power for several years is a strategy of manipulation of the voter, where he will raise taxes and use that money, in true Liberal-NDP fashion to fling at special interest groups (ethnic, unions,) to buy their votes for the next election.
It’s all about power, not about what is good for Canadians.
This kind of scenario goes on in the corrupt governments in Africa. But in Canada?
Is it going to be the norm, now, where any political party can band together with an other party, and ‘just because’ – vote against the legitimate party..and without an election, move themselves into power? And in this case, do so by the use of the Bloc, a party which is UNAVAILABLE to the majority of Canadians who cannot vote for or against this party.
Can you imagine – a govt held in power by a group which the majority of Canadians cannot vote for or against? That isn’t a democracy. That’s tyranny by this set-up.
And how do they get this corrupt coalition together? By promises of power, of money, of cabinet positions, of money to special groups, of backroom deals.
This isn’t democracy. This takes place in the corrupt regimes of Africa and other third world countries.
Layton the Deal maker
Lets Not forget how Layton Bragged & bragged about his NDP Budget when he Manipulated Paul Martin, That was conceived in a Motel!.
Layton’s negotiations with the Bloq Not 2-3days after the People of Canada spoke in a Democratic Election is IMO nothing more then outright Treason.
We need to hear from our Provincial leaders, sure a couple spoke against the conservatives, But would they tolerate A Coalition with the Bloc & NDP.
BTW: closet King Bob Rae was all smiles this morning on CanadaAM. Liberal my A** he is just another NDP’r that Knew he did not have a chance in Hell so infiltrated the Liberals under the Guise that he has switched sides, Anything to achieve his Ultimate Goal, PM!
History repeats itself
Buy your indulgences now: cheap.

“UN climate talks to create 13,000 tonnes of carbon
POZNAN, Poland (AFP) – Staging a global forum on climate change is a dilemma, as it adds to the very problem it is trying to solve.
Around 13,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) will be added to the Earth’s greenhouse effect from the December 1-12 meeting of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the UNFCCC said.
That estimate is based on a turnout of 8,000 people, but as of Sunday 10,657 people had registered for the talks.
Poland, which is hosting the meeting, “plans to offset the total emissions resulting from the conference once a final calculation has been made,” the UNFCCC said.”

Michael J. Totten, What’s next in Iraq
For the past two weeks I’ve been embedded with the United States Army in Baghdad, and I find myself unable to figure out what to make of this place. Baghdad, despite the remarkable success of the surge, is as mind-bogglingly run-down and dysfunctional as ever, even compared with other Arabic countries. Iraq is a dark place. At times it feels like a doomed country that has only been temporarily spared the reckoning that is coming. Other times it is possible to look past the grimness and see progress beyond the mere slackening off of violence and war. Is Iraq truly on the mend, or has a total breakdown been merely postponed? Opinions here among Americans and Iraqis are mixed, but nearly everyone seems to agree about one thing at least: terrorists and insurgents will respond with a surge of their own in the wake of the upcoming withdrawal of American forces…

If you ever want to find people with very bizarre and scary views, go to the Law Is Cool web site that Steyn talks about in his article.
