Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to lazy late-summer nights and to our love of this kind of saxophone music here in the studio, we present the great Wayne Shorter (whom you no doubt recall from our previous show featuring his work with the second Miles Davis quintet in the ’60s) performing his beautiful Apache solo, with Carlos Santana and the band, on their Supernatural tour (ca. 2000, 6:54).

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

  4. I have a question ..how come when i post on here iti s alway’s 2 hours ahead i livei n calagry and if kate lives in saskatchewan should it not be the same time ?

  8. A sign of how far Steve McIntyre, Anthony Watts, Lord Monckton et. al. have come: a story in an MSM newswire service is trying to achieve “balance.” The sun watchers even get a mention, though not identified:
    “Drop in world temperatures fuels global warming debate”
    It’s now a “debate,” and the skeptics are labeled “skeptics.” There’s still a trace of the usual slant, hinting that AGW skeptics are not really scientists, but it’s far better than 2007’s treatment (or 2008’s.)

  10. I can’t count the number of times I’ve wondered the same thing, RL. But you forgot to add a “…hmm?” at the end to let everyone else off the hook.
    As for your essay, well done. It’s an excellent, brief statement that nicely introduces the matter of the unintended consequences that will always – it’s almost tautological when well-explained – result whenever highly political, and in that sense arbitrary to the problem, time-bound political interferences are applied to the private economy.
    Peter S. Taylor’s entry was very good as well, with its – similarly clear-headed – look at daycare.

  11. Aren’t “progressives” warm and fuzzy towards the black population?
    From the article “A History of Violence”
    “Perhaps Berlet should consider the career of South Carolina’s Benjamin “Pitchfork” Tillman (1847-1914), a leading progressive who railed against the sins of “unregulated capitalism” while preaching the salvation of white supremacy……..….When President Theodore Roosevelt entertained the black leader Booker T. Washington at the White House in 1901, Tillman served as a de facto spokesman for the Southern opposition, declaring: “The action of President Roosevelt in entertaining that nigger will necessitate our killing a thousand niggers in the South before they will learn their place again.”

    In a related story:
    “On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer fretted over health care reform protesters legally carrying guns: “A man at a pro-health care reform rally…wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip….there are questions about whether this has racial overtones….white people showing up with guns.” Brewer failed to mention the man she described was black.”

  12. EBD,
    Thanks for the kind words. In truth, I think that Taylor’s and Skarbek’s entries are superior pieces of scholarly work. Though I researched my piece, I think I benefited from the ‘anything goes’ citation requirements.

  13. A very excellent choice today, Vitruvius. If there was only one instrument that I could master, it would be the sax-a-ma-phone. My soul bled a little tonight. And Carlos’s guitar band-strap is totally deadly!

  15. The call of the K2yKyoto virus: pigggflucawcaw ….
    “A virus that could swim a salty ocean would certainly be enough to kill us all quicker than a federal bureaucrat could say AIDS, or SARS, bird flu, Hong Kong flu, killer tomatoes, poisoned peanut butter, global warming or strangulation by kudzu, earlier doomsday threats to the planet.”

  16. maz2…thanks for the link.
    Wake up people! The H!N! paranoia is very contagious and costly!
    Glad at least that someone is finally writing about it.Read the link that maz2 provides.
    Keep the government away from your body.
    We need more MRI and PET scans, not vaccines, but the phamaceutical companies get rich by pushing the paranoia.

    “Auditor general questions foundation funding
    The federal government is unable to hold 15 private foundations accountable for the more than $9 billion it has given them since 1997, Canada’s auditor general said Tuesday.
    Sheila Fraser also said about $7.7 billion of the money, which otherwise would have made Ottawa’s substantial budget surpluses even bigger, is still sitting unspent in the foundations’ bank accounts, gathering interest.
    “Given the significant sums involved, I am concerned about the lack of adequate accountability to Parliament,” she wrote. “Important gaps remain in the external audit regime and ministerial oversight.””

    Anyways…right on topic as per usual, someone call a doctor, maZquerade has got case of bi-polar paranoia.
    FYI…As steam is required to extract oil from sand the process would contribute to global warming.
    Pssst maz…the antidote to lying or dissimulating is to ignore it, they’ll eventually go away when they realize they can push your buttons.

    The crooked Chretien / Martin governing bastards were funneling money to cronies worthy of the worlds worst gangsters, all the while giving “foundation trusts” fiasco the air of legitamacy.
    Meanwhile Canadian MSM were complicit in turning blind corporate eyes to the malfeasance. Corruption at the highest level.
    Legitimate room mates for Conrad Black, in my view.

  29. Interesting comment wrt Conrad Black. My own conspiracy theory was that some of our missing Canadian money paid for Blacks demise.
    JMHO

  30. Is there nothing out there that can’t colonise the french? Germans, Algerians, Hornets…

    Tourists are being warned to steer clear of Asian hornets that are colonising France, after swarms of the aggressive predators attacked seven people.

    WASHINGTON — Iran agreed with United Nations inspectors to grant greater monitoring of Tehran’s uranium-enrichment facility at Natanz as well as a nearly completed heavy-water reactor, according to officials briefed on the talks.
    The accord breaks a monthslong impasse between Iran and the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency that has fed into concerns Tehran is moving toward developing atomic weapons. Officials involved in the diplomacy hope Iran’s decision could signal a greater willingness by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s government to cooperate with the West.
    President Barack Obama has set a late September deadline for Tehran to respond to an international offer to negotiate on the future of Iran’s nuclear program, or face a new round of economic sanctions.

  36. Headline from the National Post: “Woman stranded in Kenya sues Ottawa for $2.5M”
    http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=1916533
    Sometimes I wish someone would detain me in a foreign country so I could sue the Canadian government, aka the taxpayers of Canada, for $2.5 million, which would set me up nicely. No doubt, this woman will get Lawfare, which I wouldn’t be eligible for — not because I have lots of money but because I have just enough not to qualify.
    Why would I, a participating citizen and taxpayer, expect any “perks” for being a good Canadian and for financially supporting the system for well over 40 years? OTOH, it seems that new Canadians are eligible for lots of monetary perks, especially if they get in trouble in foreign countries; ‘seems like they’ve hit the jackpot when they’re seized by the notion of sueing the government for million$ once they’ve made it safely back to Canadian shores.
    I don’t call that being a good Canadian. It smacks, somehow, of opportunism and seems to be happening with some regularity. I wonder who her bloodsucking lawyer is …?

  37. Sorry, curious_george, I didn’t see your post before I posted.
    I guess we both feel the same way about this scam.

  41. I think maz2’s posting re uncovering Swiss bank accounts is highly relevant. With any luck, the sh* will hit the fan just in time for an election. I think it is important for Canadians to realize that Gomery was the tip of the iceburg, and that corrupt foces are still active in the LPC. Of course Liberals are not all corrupt, but give them another dram of power any time soon and all those suspicious foundations and back-room boys will be back.

  42. this tune first came out in 1917 when The States entered the Great War.
    I first heard a few bars (from this version) on the awesome series ‘World at War’ (which I have on DVD).
    I have a growing suspicion I am a reincarnated WW II – Korean veteran, killed and then born on the same day. which explains why I have such an abhorence of violence but carry a wealth of knowledge of these conflicts.
