  1. Whats up with ‘Watts Up With That’?
    Sunday Noon PST we will find out. Anthony Watts has written that it has nothing to do with FOIA. I wonder what is could be?

  4. For a good giggle check out twitter feed #ProgressiveOlympics! Some good stuff there.

  5. If you want concrete proof that the AGW religion is in decline just go check out the Olympic flame. Probably the largest ever and right in the that religions Jerusalem – London.

  6. Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank and Bank of Nova ScotiaNational Bank of Canada, the credit union system for Ontario and British Columbia known as Central 1 Credit Union, Laurentian Bank of Canada and Home Capital Group Inc.

    I guess it’s a good thing that my business bank and personal bank is the ATB(Alberta Treasury Branch# then, eh?
    God bless you Bible Bill Aberhart!
    #William Aberhart used to broadcast his sermons from the First Baptist Church, Calgary, where I was baptised, met my lovely wife, and was married in 1983)
    Why only 680,000+ Albertans are ATB members out of a population of 3.7+ million is a question.
    ATB is one of the few banks where deposits exceed loans.
    Get with it fellow Albertans.

  7. ” the addictive “I Second That Emotion”. ”
    Really addictive,I just heard it the other night also.

  10. I’ve finally gotten around to reading Watermelons. I’m at the part now where the UN agenda 21 is laid out. I had long suspected this was all a coordinated deal but wow. It all makes sense. I knew the “sustainable” thing was not what the average non-clued in person thinks it means.

  12. Calgary Herald newsroom staff cut by third.
    Never even seen the asteroid coming. They announced a while back that they are stopping the Sunday edition, but never heard of this part.

  13. Am I the only one that thought the NHS segment in the Olympic opening was bizarre beyond belief?

  16. Great song to listen to on the Delco radio of a 66 Cevy Caprice with rear speakers and reverberator.
    An ad ran that year in National Geographic that said:
    “The only squeak you`ll hear in your new Chevy Caprice is the piccolo player on the new Delco AM-FM radio.”
    Great line.

  19. foobert @2:49 – as philosophically opposed as I am to this administration, I do understand the temptation.

    “The Famine that Mao Created”
    “There is a view current in respectable circles that the Chinese economy was market-driven for the first ten years of the reform period, but that after the Tiananmen events of 1989 it became “Leninist, statist and dirigiste”. My personal view is that that is an inaccurate observation. There have been thirty years of reform and we still have massive improvements in people’s livelihood and an annual growth rate which regularly exceeds 10 per cent. If, for the most recent two thirds of that period, this has resulted from Leninism, dirigisme and statism, we market-based economists should pack our bags and think of something else to do.
    It was therefore with some enthusiasm that I picked up Frank Dikötter’s Mao’s Great Famine, an excellent book which shows exactly how real Leninism and dirigisme work in an economy and how fast and disastrously they work. Dikötter describes in horrifying detail Mao’s Great Leap Forward of 1958 and the great famine which rapidly followed and which killed a great number of people—the real number remains hotly disputed but it is at least in the tens of millions, which makes it possibly the greatest man-made disaster in history.”

  27. Invoking G*d:
    “Lord that man is sneaky.”
    ““The premiers … decided that we were going to take it upon ourselves to provide leadership,” declared Nova Scotia’s Darrell Dexter,”.
    “Robert Ghiz, from tiny Prince Edward Island, chimed in: “We decided, as provinces, we don’t need the federal government … We run the health care system.””

  28. As usual a deft understanding by Steyn of why our problems just continue unabated by a left gone so ideological its become parody. I now admire anyone like Chik-fil-a who goes against the forces of Modern conformity, because of the gross double standards of a left leaning monstrosity that is so double standards its become a sick joke.
    They have no values but a revolving door of Political positions so skewed they make no sense. Except if your a die hard racist.
    Mark Steyn: Don’t cross the forces of tolerance
    This inconsistency is very telling. The forces of “tolerance” and “diversity” are ever more intolerant of anything less than total ideological homogeneity. Earlier this year, the Susan G. Komen Foundation – the group that gave us those pink “awareness raising” ribbons for breast cancer – decided to end its funding of Planned Parenthood on the grounds that, whatever its other charms, Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with curing breast cancer. Within hours, the Komen Foundation’s Nancy Brinker had been jumped by her fellow liberals and was strapped to a chair under a light bulb in the basement with her head clamped between two mammogram plates until she recanted.
