John Duncan resigned today as Min of Indian Affairs – James Moore will serve as the new minister of Indian Affairs:
https://warriorpublications.wordpress.com/2013/02/15/aboriginal-affairs-minister-john-duncan-resigns-over-inappropriate-letter/
James Moore is the man with the $$ for Ceebeecee and other ‘cultural’ things! What will the media/cultural parasites do now – trash the piggy bank? Our Prime Minister is, as Kate puts it, ‘a magnificent bastard’. He is in the good company of President Vaclav Klaus (Czech republic) and Lord Moncton (UK).
Brilliant.
“Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced Wednesday that the Pentagon is creating a medal that can be awarded to troops who have a direct impact on combat operations, but do it well away from any combat zone.”
The medal will rank higher then Bronze Star because, according to Panetta, “The risks taken and injuries suffered on the battlefield of Twitter are very real, the combat as intense as any other war zone”

“Nothing influences President Barack Obama’s decision on the Keystone XL pipeline quite like the protests against it, led by Bill McKibben, an American environmentalist, and his organization, called 350.org. On Wednesday, 350.org and the Sierra Club participated in an anti-Keystone protest…”
“In the interest of fairness and transparency, McKibben should fully disclose 350.org’s funding and the Rockefellers and other charitable foundations that have been bankrolling the anti-Keystone campaign should come out from the shadows…”
” RCMP questions claim of 600 missing aboriginal women ”
It appears that the data that supports the claim of “600 missing” women has gone missing also,or never existed. This is a cbc link,yet even their rabid pro-native,anti-RCMP crowd are questioning the motives of those behind the 600 figure.

Hi Kate,
Yes, our thoughts are with Rachel Alexandra. An incredible horse. How about Black Caviar? Last night at Flemingdon in Melbourne, this wonder horse won number 23 in a row – a world record – in the process shattering a track record. And the jockey never had to urge the horse even once!

I watched that live. She destroyed the field, made them look slow. The fillies have been the class in TB for a few years now. Maybe because they can’t retire them to stud at the first sign of a warm tendon.
Yup, I saw it live too… . Your observation looked right – she did make everyone else look slow. And it looked so effortless. Apparently she will race a couple more times. Kate, it is early days, but do you like anyone yet for the Kentucky Derby? Given the low number of races the contenders go in, maybe we haven’t even seen the ultimate winner yet! But I like Normandy Invasion.
