  3. Your link link is brokem Vit. I was going to post there … but the off topic stuff …

  4. Sorry about that, ∞², and good point. Here’s the Google cache version of that link, and I’m now updating it there. It was thirty years ago next week that I first enjoyed rabbit stifado, in Athens, attending the home of the grandparents of a fellow grad student in computing science at the University of Alberta. Alas, considering the constraints of Reader Tips, I should leave it at that.

  5. I have been seeing rabbits all over the lower mainland lately … that rabbit recipe Vit – I’m slobbering … got to set up some snares.

  6. If this is true, why is it public secret?

    ….the word “Nazi” is synonymous with evil. It is widely understood that the Nazis’ ideology—nationalism, anti-Semitism, the autarkic ethnic state, the Führer principle…..
    ….It is not nearly as well understood that Communism led just as inexorably, everywhere on the globe where it was applied, to starvation, torture, and slave-labor camps…..
    ….Kenneth Coates, who from 1989 to 1998 was a British member of the European Parliament, approached Zagladin on January 9, 1990, to discuss what amounted to a gradual merger of the European Parliament and the Supreme Soviet….
    ….“creating an infrastructure of cooperation between the two parliament[s] would help . . . to isolate the rightists in the European Parliament (and in Europe), those who are interested in the USSR’s collapse.” Coates served as chair of the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights from 1992 to 1994…..
    ….Francisco Fernández Ordóñez, who led Spain’s integration into the European Community as its foreign minister…..Ordóñez told Gorbachev: “I feel intellectual disgust when I have to read, for example, passages in the documents of ‘G7’ where the problems of democracy, freedom of human personality and ideology of market economy are set on the same level. As a socialist, I cannot accept such an equation.”…..
    It’s a rather long article, though interesting.

  7. 94 RABBITS, “oh the horror ,oh the humanity” , I always thought rabbits could fly. Oh well live and learn,they do screech an ungodly cry when mortally wounded,you never want to hear it,trust me.,, Rabbits are food,hard to cook, but better tasting (probably) than anythin the Donners had.

  9. This is to be expected, Lev, as most Canadians get their information from the nightly “news” and from “Documentaries”.
    Too bad this one got away: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzZdAfx37d8 **
    I think this information is too difficult for most Canadians to digest and they tend to ignore it. It is frustration to talk to people who have achieved some sort of comfort zone in lies and will not move on to the truth.
    Psychologists out there please comment.

  10. From NNW,so use the grain of salt, –Youths participating in forum with Harper say PMO rewrote their questions.” ,,,( numero uno article,BTW),and I did quote their headline. Well,after reading the article,maybe they didn’t,but that really doesn’t matter,does it? The ‘yutes’ were upset,and aren’t they precious? If the young can see through Harpo’s nazi tactics,why can’t you?

    The believers are just that, they can be persuaded many times in under 60 seconds that their beliefs are contrary to evidence.
    At least in the land of lotus eaters.

  14. Vit, the new slimmed down “Reader Tips” are just fine IMHO. I know that you’ve taken a lot of “feedback” on this – but I just thought I would say rock on, amigo.
    I appreciate the work you put into the music selection, both you and EBD are fantastic.
    I love the lecture series, yeah, hint hint again.

  19. How’s this for utter Librano stupidity?
    http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2010/05/17/mulroney-inquiry-legal-fees.html via National Newswatch:
    Mulroney’s inquiry legal fees top $1.8M
    The federal government has reimbursed Brian Mulroney’s lawyers more than $1.8 million for his legal costs related to the public inquiry probing the former prime minister’s financial relationship with Karlheinz Schreiber, CBC News has learned.
    [end of quote]
    So, former PM Brian Mulroney unwisely paid Karlheinz Schreiber $300,000 OF HIS OWN MONEY and, over 20 years later, the Liberal$ (and the CBC, to the tune of how much do-re-mi?) are still hounding him and, by association, the present Conservative Party of Canada?
    What the …?
    And it’s not over! For a $300,000 personal indiscretion, which Brian Mulroney has admitted, the Canadian taxpayers are on the hook for $1.8 million all because the Liberal$ (and their attack dogs in the media) want to discredit the CPC. And let’s not forget that the CPC has burned its bridges with Mulroney’s Red Tories. But, let’s not allow our discrediting of the CPC to be restrained, say the Lib$, by mere factual data.
    The Libranos and their shills in the Canadian media never let facts or truth get in the way of their smears and scandals (sic).

  20. batb, was it not the other way around, Mulroney, after he was not longer PM, took $300,000 of Schreiber’s money? Just askin, as that is what I understand. The rest of the comment is bang on.

  21. Thanks, Ken. ‘Sorry for the mixup.
    Apparently, although there’s no evidence that Mulroney accepted kickbacks while prime minister, apparently, shortly after stepping down in 1993, he accepted $225,000 over 18 months from Schreiber, in three cash payments of $75,000 each.
    It turns out that the Liberal/CHRETIEN government, after Mulroney launched a $50 million defamation suit against them in early 1997 for a smear campaign against him, settled out of court for $2.1 million and a public apology.
    Does anyone know if the Liberal$ paid this money to Mulroney? If so, Canadian taxpayer’s are out almost $4 million because of the Liberal$’ attempts to tar and feather Mulroney and connect this “scandal” to the present PM and his party.
    In the meantime, Canadians are still waiting for the Liberal$ to repay us the $40 million they stole from us in ADSCAM.
    In a down-the-rabbit-hole-Alice-and-Wonderland Canada, an indiscriminate and questionable receipt of $300,000 by a FORMER Conservative PM seems to be more reprehensible to the Opposition and the media than $40 million stolen from Canadians by a sitting Liberal Prime Minister and his government, in order to re-elect their government.
    ‘Talk about taking a get-small pill.

  26. NYT takes notice of the oilsands. Worth reading despite predictable greennik screeching.
    Clifford Krauss and Elisabeth Rosenthal, Mired in Canada’s Oil Sands
    Canadian oil sands are expected to become America’s top source of imported oil this year, surpassing conventional Canadian oil imports and roughly equaling the combined imports from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, according to IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates, a consulting firm.
    In a new report, it projects that oil sands production could make up as much as 36 percent of United States oil imports by 2030….
