    Into the mind of the Mohawk nation. Among other gems:
    “The fourth is the arrest of an Akwesasne woman, Rosalie Jacobs, by U.S. authorities for allegedly trying to launder millions of dollars made through her tobacco business which is sustained by non-native customers. She forfeited $2.6 million U.S. Her arrest came about because she had nowhere to deposit the vast sums which came from her sales. In the end, she agreed to compromise Mohawk sovereignty by agreeing to pay all U.S. and New York State taxes.”
    One of the comments summed it up perfectly: “Tripe”.

  4. Thanks for your tip. I was just about to buy Wife Beating for Dummies.
    I’m glad the video came with English subtitles.
    You should check out the current protests in San Francisco. They’re still pissed off about police shooting two dirtbags. I thought that was a performance objective for cops.
    Protesters shut down at least five BART stations and put the evening commute in chaos. They wore Guy Fawkes masks and chanted “No Justice, No Peace.”
    How original.
    I’m praying to San Andreas right now. If it’s my time to go, I want to take as many of them as I can with me.

  6. Rubbing more salt in the womb.
    My 20 something daughter, with one child and one on the way, asks the following important question of the medical establishment.
    How is it at 14 years old I could walk into an abortion clinic, no questions asked and I can have one, but I can’t have my tubes tied in my 20’s because I am too young to make such an important reproductive decision?

  7. well, I guess a Saudi wife should count herself lucky she’s not a child. It seems that this learned man would permit beating a child as one would beat an animal.

  9. isnt this kinda like how conservatives sell their view as ‘fascist police state lite’?
    anyway:

    thats because the 14 y.o. is subject to liberalism and the 20-something is subject to conservatism. aint the canadian plethora-of-political-parties system great????

  10. The NYT:
    “The (Obama) administration may…merge the Department of Commerce, the Office of the United States Trade Representative and some economic divisions at the State Department into a new agency, administration officials said. Possible names include the Department of Jobs or the Department of Competitiveness…” (emph. mine)

    That way they are sure to have lots of activist-backup!

  14. A thought on both the “wife beating for dummies” and Mallick’s vile spewing.
    There is a connection,and it leads to the Jews,the evil joos.
    They are not at fault,but they are the target,and the best target,by far.
    The middle east has been in turmoil for years. If the jews are not the ones behind the trouble,then who is?
    It cannot be islam,to even entertain such a possibility,would bring the whole concept of equality into disrepute.That would not do. That flies in the face of all we have been taught by our betters for at least 45 years,two generations.If islam is allowed to be questioned,a gate is opened. Multi-culturalism,both it’s benefits and it’s warts,might be next. After that,Oh my Allah,what’s next?
    A few years ago I told a black friend that white men play basketball better than black men. He laughed,so did I,and then to prove his point he told me to take a look at the NBA.He’s right.
    I then said ,white men are smarter than black men. Whoa,that didn’t go over very well . However,I had stats to back up my claim.My stats did not matter ,not because they were bogus,but because they opened a door that most think should stay closed.IMHO,a case for ‘nurture vs. nature’ would be valid,but the immediate reaction was a cry of racism. How dare I say such a thing?
    The Jews are the scapegoat that allows Mallick and others to get away with genuine hatred. She should be condemned,even moreso than condemnation and fines etc.,she should be made to explain the reasoning behind her tirades. She should not be censored.
    We are failing as a society,and it’s because we are wilfully blind.
    Just my opinion,of course. I also think Heather Mallick is hot,anyone that psychotic would be a blast.

  16. Three headlines on G&M front web page tonight:
    Ontario female voters shy away from Hudak
    Slim chance of Liberal flameout in Ontario, poll says
    Poll: McGuinty ahead of Hudak on trust
    Negative reporting on Ford and PM Harper to follow to prevent the “trifecta” as others have mentioned. It’s gonna be the buzzword for the Ontario election. The unions, special interests, public servants and the MSM will be throwing everything but the kitchen sink at this election to prevent a Hudak victory. They have no choice as their gig is about done. Look what they did to prevent Ford from winning, especially polling data.
    To give you an idea of how things work over there at G&M —- 1473 comments on the restoration of Royal to air force and navy titles —- 2 comments on Oil up $2 as euro optimism lifts markets —- 706 comments on Warren Buffett’s letter to Congress asking them to tax the rich more.
    Eh…

    is reminding me of the Dave Chapelle skit here:
    The German luxury car — base sticker price $370,000.00, for the cheapest model — gets sliced and diced with a blowtorch and power saw. In the first 30 seconds of the clip, the automobile loses its roof and doors and gets remixed into an open-air Jeep-style vehicle perfect for joyriding around a parking lot with a quartet of young ladies in the back seat while fireworks blast off, which is exactly what Jay and Kanye proceed to do in the Spike Jonze-directed video. .

    “As the debt crisis worsens, governments fear the rating agencies, which have the power of life and death over whole economies. The Big Three helped to cause the 2008 financial crisis and are now accused of worsening the euro zone’s woes. But a look behind the scenes shows that there are few alternatives to the mighty agencies.”

    “Why cutting corporate taxes is good policy”
    “If Iowa’s Gov. Terry Branstad doesn’t get a gift basket from Finance Minister Jim Flaherty — maple syrup, Beavertails, Pelee Island wine, whatever — then someone in his office is behind the 8-ball.
    The Republican governor of the state where Tea Party queen Michele Bachmann won the weekend’s straw poll, was begrudgingly gushing over Canada’s financial stability when he appeared Sunday on NBC’s Meet The Press.
    It was amazing to watch.
    Branstad’s remarks on Canada, unprompted by any mention of our country, and surely unprecedented, will likely now be front-and-centre in Flaherty’s next speech — if his staff reads this and get its collective butt in gear.
    For it was pure gold.
    “The Canadian government has reduced their corporate income tax to 18%, and it’s going to 15%,” said Branstad. “I’ve had companies that I’ve called on in Chicago to come to Iowa, and they’ve said, ‘We like Iowa, but if they don’t change the federal corporate income tax, we’re probably going to go to Canada.’
    “Now, that’s a tragedy when (you see that) Canada is now beating us … ”
    But Branstad didn’t stop there.”

    “Merkel, Sarkozy propose eurozone government”
    All countries that use the euro should have mandatory balanced budgets and better coordination of economic policy, the leaders of France and Germany said Tuesday, pushing for long-term political solutions instead of immediate financial measures like a single European bond.
    French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel also pledged to harmonize their countries’ corporate taxes in a move aimed at showing the eurozone’s largest members are “marching in lockstep” to protect the euro.
    Both leaders stressed their commitment to defending the common currency, a cornerstone of integration on this long-fractured continent. They presented their proposals after meeting Tuesday in Paris amid signs of economic slowdown, and after an exceptionally turbulent week on financial markets prompted by concern about Europe’s financial health.
    Sarkozy told reporters that he and Merkel want a “true European economic government” that would consist of the heads of state and government of all eurozone nations.
    The new body would meet twice a year — and more in times of crisis — and be led initially by EU President Herman Van Rompuy for a 2 1/2-year term. After that, Sarkozy suggested, it could be opened up to other heads of states and government.”

  39. O Hates math. Go here:

    “Texas has an unemployment rate of 8.2%. That’s hardly exceptional.”
    See… that’s what I thought when I started looking at the data. I knew that Utah had a lower unemployment rate than Texas and I kept hearing that Texas was go great at jobs, blah, blah, blah, so I looked up the unemployment rate.
    Nothing special.
    So I was going to drive my point home that Texas was nothing special by looking at their raw employment numbers and reporting on those. That’s when I saw this:”
    […]
    “This may not look like anything special, but I’ve been looking closely at employment data for a couple years now and I’ve become very accustomed to seeing data that looks like this.”

    H/T Belmont Club:
    “And Buddy – agree completely with the “Minimum wage jobs” smear. Just found a FANTASTIC page with lots of Texas economic data, easy to read charts, very well researched! His work destroys the “minimum wage jobs” claim and also points out just how incredibly well the Texas economy has been performing relative to the other states.”
    “from the link: “As you can see, Texas isn’t just the fastest growing… it’s growing over twice as fast as the second fastest state and three times as fast as the third. Given that Texas is (to borrow a technical term) f***ing huge, this growth is incredible.”
    and the claim that’s it’s all because of the energy business:
    “However, take the energy sector completely out of the equation and Texas is still growing faster than any other state.”
    WELL worth a look!”

  40. Michelle Malkin
    The Debt Panel’s Patty Murray Problem
    She is the symbol of Democratic intellectual bankruptcy on entitlements.
    Everything that’s wrong with the so-called debt super-committee can be summed up in the person, partisan hackery, and policy ignorance of Washington Democrat Sen. Patty Murray.
    On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid named Murray co-chairman of the dog-and-pony deficit-reduction panel tasked with identifying $1.5 trillion in spending cuts by late November. Murray, an unrepentant nanny-state cheerleader and patron saint of the Washington lobbyist, is a double exclamation point on the debt deal’s rotten joke.

  41. Any takers on an SDA Fantasy Football League? I’d suggest we make it a keeper league, and only redistribute the wealth a little bit every year.
    We will have to move fast, but it’s doable on-line.
    let me know asap here; and/or, email me at anomandrrake@yahoo.ca
    I’ll post in comments for a week or so to see response. Leave your email address or email me to get things started.
    I think we’ll have to max-out at 12 teams, so think fast. Likely an on-line draft on about Sept 1,2011.
