No lie, I read that as “Courtney Love Songs”. I thought, Jeez, that’s pretty morbid, announcing she’s going to pull an Amy Winehouse like that. Not that anyone would have seen it coming.

Not in northern BC where we fortunate ones live. Never have to touch the clocks. We decided long ago that the motto “do it for the children” was just so much bullsh*t. We just told the kids to get tough or die.

“Above the Law”
“Gleick and the Watergate Burglars”
Steve McIntyre
“We are approaching the 40th anniversary of the original Watergate burglaries. Although everyone has heard of the scandal, most people have either forgotten or are too young to remember that the purpose of the Watergate burglaries was to copy documents listing donors to the Democratic Party and their financial contributions, either hoping or expecting to find evidence of contributions from “bad” sources (the Cuban government).
Like the Watergate burglars, the objective of Gleick’s fraud against Heartland was to obtain a list of donors, expecting to find evidence of “bad” contributions to their climate program (fossil fuel corporations and the Koch brothers.) The identity of objectives is really quite remarkable. The technology of the Watergate burglars (break-in and photography) was different than Gleick’s (fraud and email). And the consequences of being caught have thus far been very different.
In today’s post, I’ll reconsider the backstory of the Watergate burglaries to place present-day analogies to the Watergate era in better context.”

peterj, we never mess with the clocks in Sasquachian either. Except Sasktel moved our cell phones an hour ahead anyway. After waking me an hour early on my cell alarm, they changed back to the correct time and my alarm went off again.
In the “Here We Go Again” department, Air Miles are giving out bonus airmiles for those who participate in the annual turn off your lites night, or as those at SDA call it: Laundry/oven cleaning night.
save a few watts of power and get closer to that aircraft flight. Sounds weird to me.
Thanks Robert. It works for me now. I suspect that a backup update of some sort was occurring and interfering.
Peterj — Try this link re the Obama impeachment thing: http://conservativepapers.com/news/2012/03/09/breaking-news-congress-files-to-impeach-obama/
Something very strange happening. At this link, once you have called up the page an additional bit of text appears in the URL field. I have not seen that before. Also — some others have been complaining about disappearing pages.

Thanks, that worked. Interesting read. Doubt if much will come out of it before Nov. Heard nothing on the MSM.
Once more the “progressives” jump to conclusion. Many were claiming he was turfed because he “broke” the robocall scandal. Sounds like he was turfed because he jumped to a conclusion that was WRONG… no surprise, he is of the “progressive” persuasion. 🙂

Socialism’s natural end result: “solidarity”, aka “social strife”.
Socialism: a religion of the stomach.
“Academics are offering free tuition;”.
“Even the minimum wage is being slashed by 22%. The queues for the soup kitchens are lengthening; each day, the Greek Orthodox church is handing out emergency food rations to a quarter of a million people. An estimated 20,000 Greeks find themselves suddenly homeless, more than half of them in Athens.”

peterj — Yes, well the MSM seems not to be picking up on this. I believe that the House impeaches and then there are Senate hearings. Perhaps if things actually get to the hearing stage we will hear more about it — and maybe especially newsworthy come November. Daily Kos has a note on this, but their theory is that it is a Republican way of ousting BO, anticipating they can’t win.
cbc just had a promo for what is upcoming on Power and Politics next wk..Rosie Giggles Barton tells us they will continue to ‘dig’ to get more info on the robocrap (yet have failed to highlight the Lib ‘oversight’ in Guelph)..then says they will be interviewing porn-pig Larry Flynt on his $1mil.offer to dig up sex-scandals on US politicians!! Way to go cbc.
Obsoiver — There is no more ethical politician than Preston Manning. He has never even collected the pension. He is a man of integrity — scoffed at by the left who are now busy complaining about the “lack of ethics” in politics.

Rush Limbaugh) is not constitutionally entitled to the people’s airways…”
Posted by: EBD at March 11, 2012 5:49 PM
What a joke. Howard Stern is ? Is anyone constitutionally entitled to the peoples (?) airwaves. Did they have airwaves when the constitution was written ? What are the peoples airwaves ? Jane Fonda ? Hanoi Jane ?
So many questions and it’s already March.
peterj, peoples (?) airwaves…Jane Fonda aka Hanoi Jane? You might just be onto something there, as in a Marxist state “enemies of the people” are disenfranchised and not entitled to anything except working as slaves.
The last couple of paragraphs of the screed by Hanoi Jane and friends:
“This isn’t political. While we disagree with Limbaugh’s politics, what’s at stake is the fallout of a society tolerating toxic, hate-inciting speech. For 20 years, Limbaugh has hidden behind the First Amendment, or else claimed he’s really ‘doing humor’ or ‘entertainment.’ He is indeed constitutionally entitled to his opinions, but he is not constitutionally entitled to the people’s airways.
It’s time for the public to take back our broadcast resources. Limbaugh has had decades to fix his show. Now it’s up to us.”
Translation: It’s 100% political. When they agree to go after hatred for capitalism, big business and the captains of industry, then maybe they won’t be hypocrites about “hate speech”. When they say “the people”, they use the term as in “Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea”. The concept of “the people’s airwaves” is just as evil as “the people’s newsprint”.
