sarge has already mentioned what violence he will do to me if/when I cross the border to go south [despite the many wonderful people south of 49 (and up in AK)]
But still, here’s another reason for me not to – when people like this get elected, and say things like this, and people applaud . . . . .

I mean, probably some of our politicians think this, but at least they have the good sense not to say it out loud in this manner
I just cannot understand why society puts up with scum like this – made me nauseous just reading it. Think of the thousands upon thousands of hours of horror that poor little girl when through.
ron in kelowna – I’m not opening it – but I’m guessing I’ve already heard about it.
When such cases come to light, I’m hoping that there’s some secret government fund to provide a lifelong disbursement to these women – courtesy of the taxpayer. I am sometimes ashamed that there are crazies like that who have a Y chromosome. Awful.
Smooth Operator
That was so soooothing. Thanks Vitruvius.
Aye. You’re welcome.
ron in kelowna – in fairness, I’m not sure this one’s really on “society”; it’s a case of an evil individual.
Erik – start apologizing for the Y – chromosome (which is one one of my top 2 favorite chromosomes, BTW), and I’ll have to start feeling embarassed about Heather Mallick and Barbara Boxer and, hell, Myra Hindley and Karla Homolka, and who needs that?
Black Mamba – ha ha!
Seriously, I’m pretty happy with my genetic makeup, but sometimes, I get pretty mad at those of us who don’t know how to handle the testosterone.
They are total p*ss**s.
Didn’t think I would enjoy tonights pick, as I never heard of them before … however, despite the dumb name, she sings very well (and moves very nicely too, I must say) and the sax is definitely saxy/sexy.
On a different note, I got my Hollywood Loser/Alexander of Hollywood “Jennifer Lynch wants to ban this T-shirt” T-shirt today. It’s great, and I say that as a shallow type who wastes much of her disposable income on clothes. Snug, though.
Erik – there’s a theory that men are either wolves or guard-dogs.
I have some time for it, but then what does that make us gals; sheep?
Vitruvius – I have a guilty love for ’80s synth pop (which Sade’s music is, however jazzy), and I’m often amazed at how well it stands up. That was a spiffy example.
Wolfettes. But you shouldn’t say you like
synth pop. You’ll just get me in trouble.

We’re into the Colston Bassett Stilton here tonight, Tenebris;
got a wee bit remaining that I don’t want to leave much longer.
Ron in Kelowna: the really sad thing about this case is the fact this scum was already under supposed monitoring by the parole system. One must ponder just what parole officers were monitoring. Certainly not what the buggar was up to. It seems their (US) Justice Industry is as dysfunctional as ours.

I golfed in a tournament with Stephen Harper’s mother in law. She had nothing but good things to say about him. He didn’t want a gardener, he and Laureen wanted to do the work themselves.
I think we have the best country in the world. I used think that the Americans had it figured out better than we did, now, I don’t!
Canada roxx!!!!
ron in kelowna I liked the link but I get the feeling many of the commenters think willy is getting 3 mil, more likely a hundred and a quarter. Still that’s good money for the man who exported HIV to Canada.
Came across this vid at Youtube. Its kind of a conspiracy type and talks a little about the swimmer Kennedy towards the end. Then right after he mentions a name you are here all familiar with that will surprize you.

Now this is a real readers tip.
This past summer I got quite a bit of tree sap on my truck. We tried the usual bought remedies and a few others.
Nothing really worked that well. I asked my best friend, a musician and luthier what I should use. He is an expert on glues and epoxies, and he told me to use “Motor Master Fuel Stabilizer”.
Cost me about six dollars for a small bottle and it really works! I still have over half the bottle left after cleaning the entire truck That’s about it.
Shawn! WOW! Teddy wanted to do a fourteen year old and turdeau with a box of white powder! How credible is this guy?
Hey Ron, and both Willy and his willy are (allegedly) crooked. Well one’s crooked, the other supposedly has a bend in it.

Sophistications
It is insulting to be told an obvious lie; more insulting when the lie is insisted upon, in the face of undeniable facts. Unfortunately, few of our contemporary politicians seem to grasp this, yet they do not always pay for it in the polls.

“Nixon attempted to spy on Ted Kennedy*”
…-
“Senator Ted Kennedy cooperated with the KGB, Soviet leaders to undermine Reagan
There are some important reports found in Soviet archives, after the collapse of the Communist dictatorship, that provide an interesting insight into the character of the senior senator from Massachusetts.
One of the documents, a KGB report to bosses in the Soviet Communist Party Central Committee, revealed that “In 1978, American Sen. Edward Kennedy requested the assistance of the KGB to establish a relationship” between the Soviet apparatus and a firm owned by former Sen. John Tunney (D.-Calif.). KGB recommended that they be permitted to do this because Tunney’s firm was already connected with a KGB agent in France named David Karr. This document was found by the knowledgeable Russian journalist Yevgenia Albats and published in Moscow’s Izvestia in June 1992.
Another KGB report to their bosses revealed that on March 5, 1980, John Tunney met with the KGB in Moscow on behalf of Sen. Kennedy. Tunney expressed Kennedy’s opinion that “nonsense about ‘the Soviet military threat’ and Soviet ambitions for military expansion in the Persian Gulf . . . was being fueled by [President Jimmy] Carter, [National Security Advisor Zbigniew] Brzezinski, the Pentagon and the military industrial complex.”
Kennedy offered to speak out against President Carter on Afghanistan. Shortly thereafter he made public speeches opposing President Carter on this issue. This document was found in KGB archives by Vasiliy Mitrokhin, a courageous KGB officer, who copied documents from the files and then defected to the West. He wrote about this document in a February 2002 paper on Afghanistan that he released through the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson Center.
In May 1983, the KGB again reported to their bosses on a discussion in Moscow with former Sen. John Tunney. Kennedy had instructed Tunney, according to the KGB, to carry a message to Yuri Andropov, the General Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party, expressing Kennedy’s concern about the anti-Soviet activities of President Ronald Reagan. The KGB reported “in Kennedy’s opinion the opposition to Reagan remains weak. Speeches of the President’s opponents are not well-coordinated and not effective enough, and Reagan has the chance to use successful counterpropaganda.” Kennedy offered to “undertake some additional steps to counter the militaristic, policy of Reagan and his campaign of psychological pressure on the American population.” Kennedy asked for a meeting with Andropov for the purpose of “arming himself with the Soviet leader’s explanations of arms control policy so he can use them later for more convincing speeches in the U.S.” He also offered to help get Soviet views on the major U.S. networks and suggested inviting “Elton Rule, ABC chairman of the board, or observers Walter Cronkite or Barbara Walters to Moscow.”
Tunney also told the KGB that Kennedy was planning to run for President in the 1988 elections.”

O’Narcissist: nOhOpe.
“The “small people”, the “rank and file”, the “loyal soldiers” of the narcissist – his flock, his nation, his employees – they pay the price. The disillusionment and disenchantment are agonizing.
The process of reconstruction, of rising from the ashes, of overcoming the trauma of having been deceived, exploited and manipulated – is drawn-out.
It is difficult to trust again, to have faith, to love, to be led, to collaborate. Feelings of shame and guilt engulf the erstwhile followers of the narcissist. This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder.”

**Hope and Fear:
“Hope is charming, lively, blue-eyed wench, & I am always glad of her company, but could dispense with the visitor she brings with her, her younger sister, fear, a white liver’d-lilly-cheeked, bashful palpitating, awkward hussey that hangs like a green girl at her sister’s apron strings & will go with her whithersoever she goes.”
(Letters of Charles and Mary Anne Lamb)
Is Fear a “snotty” liberal? ‘Course she is.
Socialism = liberalism = Fear.
Fear is the hammer of socialism-liberalism.
Fear is the hammer to drive square pegs, aka individuals, into the round holes of socialism.

Liberal Columnist Credits Gov. Palin for “Stopping Health Care on a Dime”.

here is an interesting thought
With the appointment of Gary Doer as Canada’s next U.S ambassador will Jack Layton back off any thoughts of joining the liberals with a Non-Confidence vote in Sept?
Was Jack given a heads up to the appt? Did Doer tell him or did the PM inform him of the coming appt when they met? In other words say anything Jack Deals Off!
Are the Liberals taking second thoughts of a Non-Confidence motion? with recent polls indicating Not a good move. Recent comments by Igantieff would suggest this.

That voice: smokey, perfectly pitched, and most importantly — and this is where the COOL comes from in my view — vibrato-less! Re-listen for vibrato. There doesn’t seem to be ANY.
Vibrato, like garlic, is often overdone, I feel, in order to cover imperfections.
What an absolutely beautiful package she is!
Thanks again!

“US Dems fill inboxes with 419 scams (democrats.org co-opted)
Scammers pumping out emails that try to trick recipients into parting with large sums of cash are getting a helping hand from the Democratic National Committee.
According to a researcher with anti-spam company Cloudmark, 419 fraudsters have been relaying a “significant” amount of messages through the democrats.org domain name. The abuse, which dates back at least to the beginning of this month, helps evade filters that internet service providers employ to block the messages.
“Unfortunately, because they’re able to relay mail through the Democratic Party server, it does affect the Democratic Party’s IP reputation, as well as their domain sending reputation,” Jamie Tomasello, Cloudmark’s abuse operations manager, told The Register. “I was surprised.”
One such message purports to come from Mrs. Amina Adan and seeks help in recovering $25m in assets belonging to her late husband, said to be the former Somalia security minister who died of an explosives attack in Central Somalia in June.
A second email carries the subject Sign up to volunteer for the Democratic Party and claims to be sent on behalf of a “a wealthy white farmer who was murdered on the land dispute in Zimbabwe.” Other messages try to con recipients with a Microsoft lottery scam.
A spokesman for the Democratic Party had no comment. It’s unclear if he alerted the party’s webmaster so the open mail relay can be closed.”

Hope and Change: The AGW Serpent’s Promises.
(H/T Adam and Eve)
Ron de Haan*:
“People like Obama and Gore represent a bigger danger to humanity than a Maunder Minimum because they deceive the people with the promise of “Hope and Change”, but suck your blood to achieve their objectives.
One time in history the promise of “Change” resulted in World War II and the first industrialized genocide.
When that War ended, the entire population of Germany denied the horrible facts.

*”The current solar minimum is real and the tiny specs detected represent nothing more but irrelevant statistics.
We now have the opportunity to observe the current phase of our sun with modern observation technology and the current knowledge, not available to humanity during the previous comparable solar minimum 200 to 400 years ago.
All direct observations from that time, reports of meteorological events and records
from Europe and the USA and modern studies and climate reconstructions confirm a clear relation between deep solar minimum conditions and extreme cold weather events, droughts, extreme rain and hail storms, a decline of the treeline, an advance of glaciers, frequent crop failures, famine and disease.
But also with increased seismic and volcanic activity, the wild card in our climate system.
Therefore it is more than worrying that our current scientific and political establishment continues to push for the political hoax of Anthropogenic Global Warming.
This despite the fact that the first signs of a cooling climate, a World Wide reduction in crop yields and record breaking cold weather events during the NH summer, which followed an extreme winter that covered the entire Northern part of the US Continent in snow from the East Coast to the West Coast and froze all the Big Lakes.
The time has come for the “Warmists” to wake up to the reality of the current state of our sun and drop all the political plans aimed at a reduction of CO2 emissions.”

Kennedy’s Mea Culpa?

“”After Kennedy’s Death: Silence from the Pope
There was a poignant footnote to President Obama’s historic July 10 meeting with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican.
Behind closed doors in the papal library, Obama handed Benedict a letter that Senator Edward Kennedy had asked him to personally deliver to the pontiff. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs later told reporters that nobody – not even the President – knew the contents of the sealed missive. Obama himself asked Benedict to pray for Kennedy, and called the ailing Senator afterward to fill him in on his encounter with the 82-year-old Pope.
The letter, most likely already re-sealed and tucked away in the Vatican archives, was probably just a dying Catholic’s request for a papal blessing. In the eyes of the traditionalist wing of the Church, however, Kennedy should have been asking the Pope for forgiveness.”

*”The Passing of ‘Fr. Death’
Fr. Robert Drinan, S.J., died at the end of the same month he presided over the inaugural Mass for the new U.S. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.”
“Indeed, in a long forgotten meeting at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport, on a hot July day in 1964, the Kennedy family and their advisers and allies were coached by Fr. Drinan, then-Dean of Boston College Law School, and a contingent of leading theologians and Catholic college professors, to accept and promote abortion with a “clear conscience.””

How’s this for a juxtaposition?
From the LA Times (http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-rarick27-2009aug27,0,3359732.story):
Relatively few businesses, once they’re formed, pick up and move across state lines. Over the last several years, the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California has done exhaustive research trying to measure precisely how many jobs California has lost because of such moves, while also measuring the offsetting number we have gained from businesses moving into the state. The conclusion? The impact is tiny.
Also from the LA Times (http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-toyota-plant28-2009aug28,0,4907237.story):
“Toyota Motor Corp.’s decision to abandon its assembly line in Fremont marks the end of large-scale auto manufacturing in California, which over the years boasted a dozen or more plants building vehicles ranging from Studebakers to Camaro muscle cars.
The Japanese automaker said Thursday that it would end production at the plant March 31, throwing 4,700 people out of work, and return some production to Japan.”
From the San Antonio Business Journal (http://www.bizjournals.com/sanantonio/stories/2009/08/24/daily35.html):
“Toyota Motor Corp. will be shifting production of its Tacoma truck from the troubled New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI) plant in Fremont, Calif., to its company-owned Alamo City Tundra truck plant.”
From Canadian Driver (http://www.canadiandriver.com/2009/08/27/toyota-to-close-california-plant-source-ontario-corollas.htm):
“Tokyo, Japan – Toyota has announced it will end production of the Corolla and Tacoma at New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI) in March 2010, a joint venture of Toyota and GM, and shift production of those vehicles to wholly-owned Toyota facilities, including sourcing the Corolla from its plant in Ontario.”
By the way, the LA Times neglects to mention that the Tacoma production is shifting to San Antonio and the Corolla production to Ontario.
