  3. Neo-AGW Progress Report.
    Leftists say, It’s for the children.
    …-
    “AP: Obama says he’ll unveil climate plan in Tuesday speech ‘for the sake of our children’.”
    “It seems though, that the world is making a collective yawn (consensus?) so far given the views. The video has been up for several hours and has only a few hundred views and has 437 “likes” as of this writing.”

  4. Has anyone else noticed that a very high number of the links we are directed to by many popular blogs go to pay walled sites?
    Readers would have to subscribe to many news outlets to actually read and understand what is trying to be relayed by the blog.
    Unless blogs start linking to free articles, I fear the media is once again exerting controls on the dissemination of right wing information.
    I’m not speaking about SDA specifically. The problem seems to be becoming commonplace.

  6. Re: The derogatory comments about Stephen Harper’s jacket on CBC.Ca when the PM was commenting on the flood. This was my reply. I doubt that the CBC will publish my comment on this story.

    ”I believe the jacket was a gift from the Cdn Forces. I don`t believe the story is about jackets, or men`s wear, I do believe the story is about a flood in Calgary where people have suffered greatly. I also believe that Stephen Harper is an MP in that city, and that he has a home there, thus I don`t think he needs permission from anyone for being near there.
    I do however wonder if that flood was in Ottawa, Ontario, and Justin Trudeau was standing beside the Rideau Canal commenting on the flood, would the CBC allow such derogatory comments about his jacket, and would they be published? I doubt it.” (End of Quote.)

  11. Hey, Calgary mayor is gay and Muslim. He can say whatever he wants no matter how frivolous, irrelevant, or offensive.
    He’s special.

  12. Detroit is so broke, they are thinking of selling off their artwork.
    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324412604578515610762790192.html

    Last month, Detroit’s emergency financial manager notified the DIA that its art is a municipal asset and might be sold to satisfy creditors. The art world is watching to see what happens next.

    “This is unprecedented,” says Timothy Rub, president of the Association of Art Museum Directors and head of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. “I can’t believe anyone is thinking about liquidating this public treasure.” The AAMD has strict guidelines that prohibit museums from selling art except for the purpose of acquiring more art.

    But here’s the kicker. Much of the art held by cities is held in public trust and has been donated. What collectors will donate art knowing that it may be used as collateral for governments that can’t balance their budgets?

  13. I have not heard anything previously to the effect that Naheed Nenshi was gay. I knew he was Muslim, but I thought he only had the one diversity point, thereby being diversity-challenged.

  14. Mayor Nenshi is neither gay nor Muslim. He’s single and Ismaili. Ismailis consider themselves, and call themselves, Muslim, but by any objective standard they are an entirely distinct religion and no branch of Islam accepts them as fellow Muslims. Men who remain single at his age are resigned to being written off as “gay”, and he’s a politically correct lefty who would never utter any criticism of homosexuality, but there’s no reason at all to believe that it’s actually his bag.
    And no, I don’t particularly like him, but fair’s fair. There are good reasons to criticize him and no need to make stuff up.
