Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, and building on last night‘s Leroy Van Dyke show, here are Mr. Van Dyke and the boys performing Walk on By in 1961 (2:05), which some have called the biggest country single of all time, or at least based on various charts and sales numbers, anyway. Unfortunately, I don’t have handy access to Leroy’s unforgettable If a Woman Answers (Hang Up the Phone), or his You May Be Too Much for Memphis, Baby, or even his Who’s Gonna Run the Truck Stop in Tuba City When I’m Gone?, so I guess this will have to do. What’s that you say, the audio and the video are out of sync? Well, yes, of course, that’s part of what makes it so charming. And, besides, check out Leroy’s tie, man. Absolutely brilliant.

Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.

    “Back when they said they were going to build this thing, the other doctors in the
    room were very excited. Most, if not all of us, thought how nice it would be to
    access a patient’s medical records anywhere, anytime. Frustrations relieved,
    a happy pallor fell over the room.”
    “Then I mentioned the gun registry. Several groans later, most people were thinking
    about how many CT scanners a few billion could buy.”
    “Soon most had accepted it for what it was, the continuous subtle torment of
    our souls.”

  2. Is it just me or do any of the rest of you find it very odd that Obama has instructed the U.S. State Dept. to invite Iranian diplomats over to the U.S. Embassies for hotdogs & hamburgers on July 4th?
    Let’s hope no Jews are attending that day!

  9. “…Lucy, a girl born in 2009, and her dramatic story about how if we don’t take drastic measures immediately climate change will cause droughts, floods, mass migration, and starvation.
    This may sound straight from a science-fiction movie, but “Good Morning America” went to great lengths to assure viewers this wasn’t science fiction”

    I wonder what science fiction would look like?

  13. “But, writes Plimer – and this is the real cause of his burning anger — scientific facts no longer seem to be necessary.
    They are simply dismissed, to create a belief system purporting to be ‘science’ but which is more akin to a religion sustained through the imposition of authority and intimidation – and anti-scientific claims of a settled ‘consensus’.”

    “The modern heresy of true science
    Every so often, a book is published which, it is instantly clear, is the definitive last word on the subject. Such a book has just appeared on the global lunacy of anthropogenic global warming (AGW). In his devastating study Heaven and Earth. Global Warming: The Missing Science (Quartet) Ian Plimer, Professor of Mining Geology at the University of Adelaide and previously Professor of Earth Sciences at the Universities of Melbourne and Newcastle systematically shreds the theory and the hallucinatory propaganda industry it has spawned. There is simply nothing left of it when he has finished – and he does so from the perspective of real science which the theory has so shockingly betrayed.
    Having painstakingly out the actual scientific facts and evidence involved in the study of climate, he concludes his book with a sustained peroration of fury and contempt at the way such scientific evidence has been dismissed in a breathtaking campaign of ‘cognitive dissonance’. As he says, there is not one shred of actual scientific evidence to sustain the claim of AGW, which rests in its entirety upon charlatanry, fraud, ignorance and ideology. Here are some tasters of this invaluable book.
    ‘The hypothesis that human activity can create global warming is extraordinary because it is contrary to validated knowledge from solar physics, astronomy, history, archaeology and geology’
    he writes. The world has been warming, slightly and intermittently, and also cooling, since the Little Ice Age. Nothing new there. Sea level, ice sheets and life on earth have also changed slightly. Nothing new there. The claims that the seas are rising and the ice retreating in any extraordinary fashion are all demonstrably false. The theory rests on the categorical assertion that rising carbon dioxide levels result in a warming of the atmosphere. Yet although carbon dioxide levels have been increasing, there has been no significant warming since 1995 and none at all since 1998.
    That is because the claimed cause and effect between carbon dioxide and global warming is simply false. History shows us that there is no relationship between carbon dioxide and temperature. Proponents of the theory, he writes, have to explain why the Minoan Warming, Roman Warming and Medieval Warming all produced warmer temperatures than now. Why the temperature rose from 1860 to 1875, decreased from 1875 to 1890, rose until 1903, fell until 1918 and then rose dramatically until 1941. Why the rate and amount of warming at the beginning of the 20th century was greater than now despite lower carbon dioxide emissions. Why the world cooled from 1941-1976, the year of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Why the temperature rose from 1976 to 1998, then cooled. And so on.
    As he says, the whole theory was created not by the scientific methods of observation and gathering actual evidence but by dubious computer modelling.”

  14. “Twenty years after the screams and blood and slaughter at Tiananmen Square, the People’s Republic of China is still a great dungeon. “China is first and foremost a repressive regime,” the noted China scholar Ross Terrill has written. “The unchanging key to all Beijing’s policies is that the nation is ruled by a Leninist dictatorship that intends to remain such.” That was the truth in 1989. It remains the truth today.”
    “China’s ‘socialist road’ to misery
    IT IS 20 YEARS since the Tiananmen Square massacre, and China’s communist regime hasn’t budged an inch.
    The government has no reason to regret its murderous crackdown during “the political storm at the end of the 1980s,” a foreign-ministry spokesman in Beijing told reporters last month. “China has scored remarkable success in its social and economic development. Facts have proven that the socialist road with Chinese characteristics that we pursue is in the fundamental interests of our people.”
    As a euphemism for dictatorial savagery, “the socialist road with Chinese characteristics” may not rise to the level of, say, “Great Leap Forward” or “Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.” And certainly the material riches and capitalist bustle that characterize much of China in the 21st century are a far cry from the mass starvation and unspeakable chaos that devastated the country in the 20th. But make no mistake: The junta in Beijing is no kinder or gentler today than it was at Tiananmen 20 years ago, and no less prepared to crush anyone who resists its grip on power.
    Perhaps nothing today so exemplifies the totalitarian implacability of China’s rulers as their ruthless persecution of Falun Gong, a quasi-religious discipline of meditation and breathing exercises, combined with moral teachings about truth, compassion, and forbearance. By civilized standards, it is incomprehensible that anything so innocuous and peaceable could provoke bloody repression. But China’s uncivilized government fears any movement it does not control, and Falun Gong – with its uplifting values so different from the regime’s Stalinist ethic – has attracted
    tens of millions of adherents, independent of the Communist Party.
    There is nothing subtle about Beijing’s decade-long campaign to suppress Falun Gong. At http://www.faluninfo.net/gallery/12, the Falun Dafa Information Center describes several of the torture techniques the government uses to break Falun Gong practitioners. Burning, for example. In hundreds of reported cases, police or labor camp authorities have used cigarettes, car lighters, or red-hot irons to sear Falun Gong believers on their faces, torsos, and genitals .
    Other victims have been forced into water dungeons – locked cages immersed in filthy water. “Some water dungeons . . . have sharp spikes protruding on the inside of cramped cages,” the center reports. “Usually, the water dungeons are well-hidden rooms or cells where practitioners are forced to stay for days and nights on end in total darkness. The water is most often extremely filthy, containing garbage and sewage that leaves the victim with festering skin.” Other torture methods include electric shock, brutal forced “feeding” with concentrated salt water or hot pepper oil, and injection of nerve-damaging psychotropic drugs capable of inducing “horrific states of physical pain and mental anguish.””

  15. More background on Strong.
    Strong is the guru/sachem/political leader of the rootless cosmopolitans, i.e., Liberals Iggy/Bob Rae, Power Corp., et al, who would gut Canada’s sovereignty and make Canadians into vassals/serfs of Red China.
    Canada is fortunate that we have a leader named Stephen Harper as Prime Minister. But, one man can only do so much. We patriotic Canadians must stand with PM Harper.
    The pun on power/Power Corp. here is unintended, but it is a true fact: “The environmental movement is about power,money and control.*”.
    This is the point re Liberals Iggy and Citoyen Dionky, the rootless cosmopolitans:
    Canadian Strong is the evil genius/Oz/now a rootless cosmopolitan who is a henchman of the corporate fascist state known as China: “a global political framework that would curtail the sovereignty of nations and expand the power of the U.N. and other international organizations.*”

    I have posted the last part of this paper. It is important that you follow the link to read the full paper. In order to understand what is going today it is important to understand the history that got us here. Maurice Strong has been a very busy man over the years. The environmental movement is about power, money and control.
    By Neil Hra
    Key Environmental Strategy: Strengthen the U.N.
    Twenty-five years ago Strong sketched out a global political framework that would curtail the sovereignty of nations and expand the power of the U.N. and other international organizations. Strong’s downpayment on this vision have been the policies he subsequently has helped advance at a series of U.N.-sponsored conferences from Stockholm and Rio to Kyoto and, next year, Johannesburg.”

  16. HoC should be a scream fest today
    “Secret federal documents reveal full AECL funding”
    ctv.ca june 03/09
    *Sensitive government documents left behind at a ctv new bureau….
    *the documents also include a handwritten note that list’s total funding for Atomic Energy of Canada since 2006 at $1.7billion and then a talking point memo to characterize the spending as “Cleaning Up a Liberal Mess”
    IMO: No surprise as to the spending to clean the mess the Liberals left behind, its the Old saying “You can pay me now or Pay me later” And we are paying Now for all the yrs Liberal neglect to Atomic Energy, there was “No Preventative Maintenance Performed” So you pay the pauper. Is this just another example of How the liberals achieved their so called balanced budgets?

  17. Guess who said that:
    …I think that the United States and the West generally, we have to educate ourselves more effectively on Islam.
    And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world…

  21. Compare/contrast the headlines.
    CTV omits the vital word, Liberal.
    CTV attempts to deceive the reader.

    CTV headline:
    >>> “Guilty plea in federal sponsorship scandal
    MONTREAL — Former federal Liberal executive Benoit Corbeil is the first political figure to plead guilty in the federal sponsorship scandal.”

    Montreal Gazette headline:
    >>> “Ex-Liberal official pleads guilty to fraud, influence-peddling
    “MONTREAL — Benoit Corbeil, the former head of the Quebec wing of the federal Liberal Party, pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of influence peddling and one of fraud over $5,000.
    Corbeil accepted an envelope filled with $50,000 from a businessman wanting to buy Crown land. He also wrote up six bogus invoices for a fictitious company, then “paid” them with $117,300 from Liberal Party coffers.
    Crown prosecutor Josee Fontaine said Corbeil had no choice but to plead guilty, since the evidence against him was strong.”

  24. Like Putin, Chavez and Castro have been having a field day ridiculing the Obominable Administration and in extension, all Americans who put this Usurper fraud in power.

  25. I don’t generally recommend TV shows but there’s a new animated comedy on ABC called The Goode Family. Its sole purpose is to mock and ridicule the Rabid Leftists of the Environmental Religion. And is is FUNNY!!!
    Spread the word, folks, as it’ll do more to turn back the tide of this nonsense than most anything else!

  27. Stand with Israel.

    “Jerusalem: The eternal front line
    By CAROLINE GLICK
    For nearly as long as I can remember, the image of the watchman on the gates of Jerusalem has been the singular image of Jewish strength for me. It is has always been to the Jewish watchmen, ever vigilant, to whom we have owed our lives, and our survival as a people.
    Today these watchmen preserve our freedom in our land. For 50 generations in exile, it was the memory of those Jewish Centurions, manning the barricades, that inspired us to keep faith with our traditions, our God, our law and our land.
    It is an honor beyond measure that Bar Ilan University and the Rennert Center would deem it proper to cast me among the ranks of our greatest defenders and champions. I know I do not deserve the distinction. I certainly do not believe that I have earned it. But I do know that since childhood I have strived to emulate the image of the watchman – or watch-woman – on the walls of Zion. And I pledge that I will continue throughout my life to strive to earn the distinction you bestow on me tonight. THE WATCHMAN at the gates is a powerful image. But of course the defense of Jerusalem cannot begin at the gates. And guarding Jerusalem is not simply a matter of physical strength. It requires spiritual commitment and wisdom as well. Indeed, defenders of Zion require a greater mix of physical and spiritual strength than any defenders of any spot on earth.
    Both our recent and ancient history as a people is one continuous testament to this truth.
    And it is this aspect of Jerusalem – the eternal and temporal front line of the Jewish people – that I wish to discuss with you.”

    “…..Atomic Energy is an important technology symbol for many Canadians, possibly making its sale politically dangerous for the Conservative government.
