  1. Well, that’s one way to get your name in the news:

    “HUNTINGTON – The Marshall University Board of Governors has been dismissed as a defendant in a lawsuit involving a student attempting to shoot bottle rockets out of his anus at a fraternity party…”

  2. No tip this time. Just a nightmarish thought for you all to ponder. Drudge reports that Chelsea Clinton is ruminating that it is time for a woman prez. Imagine she is talking about herself, not her mother. Can you even for a moment think of a world with Chelsea Clinton as president and Justine Trudeau as PM? I am gonna have trouble sleeping now…

  3. With today’s climate of “Low Information Voters” (aka Idiots) I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if this were to happen in 2015 & 2016 respectively. Seriously, I would NOT be surprised. 🙁

  4. The New York Times is smart.
    This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:
    Correction: June 14, 2013
    An earlier version of this column incorrectly identified the biblical texts in which three figures — Saul, David and Esther — appear. Their stories are told in other books of the Jewish Bible, but not in the Torah. The column also incorrectly described a passage from I Corinthians that ends with the statement, “God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.” It was written by Paul, not spoken by Jesus.

  5. That’s absolutely wonderful news, TJ, that you approve of tonight’s musical selection.
    As long as you’re happy, I’m happy. I’ve always felt that way, for as long as I can remember.
    RT: “Standing up while urinating may soon be illegal for men in Europe…”
    Doubtful, but the inevitable protests would be kinda fun.

  6. I have always loved Maria Callas. Her voice has a dark, rich quality that had never been bested. There are sopranos with a more crystal-clear sound but they don’t move me like Callas does.

    “Ontario court rejects fraud appeal of ex-Liberal senator Raymond Lavigne”
    “A former Senator who got a staffer to work on his personal property had an appeal of his convictions for fraud and breach of trust dismissed.
    Raymond Lavigne resigned from the Senate in March 2011 after he was found guilty of breach of trust and fraud. A court found that Mr. Lavigne had a staffer cut down trees on his land in Wakefield, Que., and that he improperly claimed more than $10,000 in expenses for trips that were taken by his staff. He was sentenced in 2011 to six months in prison and six months under house arrest.”

  8. While on the subject of “journalism”, the ICIJ has released a searchable database of people and companies that use tax havens. I don’t have the knowledge to follow this stuff around,but a search of some words does give results. If you put in Montral,Quebec,Ottawa,etc. you will get some hits. That is not surprising.You even get a hit if you put in Chretien,as in “Chretien et Cie”.
    Likely means nothing,if it did the ‘crack’ journalists at the CBC would be all over it.

  9. many thought the subsequent massacre would force substantial nationwide changes to American gun laws…
    results have been mixed, with some states tightening laws, some actually expanding gun rights, and federal initiatives being soundly defeated…
    the changes that have occurred in those states seem to be relatively minor and in states that already have aggressive gun control laws.
    “They’ve made them a little bit more aggressive but I’m not aware of anything really significant that’s been done anywhere,” he said.

  10. This is odd,really odd.
    The CBC is running a story on the tax havens uncovered by the ICIJ.My comments above are links to the ICIJ site. The one MAY point to Chretien,the other definitely points to Paul Martin. There is no doubt on that one.
    I have been trying to get this information posted on the CBC article. They even have a request link for any info or tips on this story.
    The CBC have ignored my comments. That in itself is not unusual. What is extremely unusual is that on my profile page they have one of my comments listed as posted. It is not.

    If you check out “CSL”,the company owned by former PM Paul Martin you will find that his company has 4 off-shore accounts. If you search “Chretien”,a company called “Chretien and Co.” comes up,which …”
    Why would they do that?
    An oversight,a soft-ware malfunction,or do they want me to believe that my comment has been posted?
    This is not tinfoil territory. The CBC and I have a long relationship.We do not exchange Christmas cards. They are covering for Paul Martin and their beloved Libaral Party.
