  1. But I thought it was Samoli Pirates..
    As the rates of piracy rose so did this totally fictious average annual global temperature, as reporting of samoli piracy faded so did the this imaginary average temperature, while still being expressed as accurate to 0.001 of a degree celcius.
    The Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming meme is an intelligence test, shame modern academia is full of fools.

  2. The hypocrisy and lack of anything beyond Stage One thinking of the Left is staggering!
    Examples:
    – They fight over pipelines but say little to nothing about transporting oil by rail.
    – They demand an end to burning carbon, fail to acknowledge that solar & wind won’t meet our needs, but refuse to allow new nuclear plants to be built.
    – They encourage more windmills be erected but refuse to admit that these same devices are slaughtering birds.
    – They force an end to burning coal in Britain but are okay with cutting down wood in the U.S. and shipping it over there.
    With apologies to Jack Nicholson:
    Q: How can you write about the Leftist mind so well?
    A: I start with an average person and then remove all logic and accountability.

  3. Love the ‘satire’ heading.
    Wonder if Goracle and Co. would recognize that they are being mocked?

  4. On a somewhat related note:
    The Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway has filed for bankruptcy in the US and Canada. The company’s insurers, who can tell the difference between an unfortunate accident and criminal negligence, refused to pay out on MMA’s policies. That leaves MMA incapable (or so the people of the United States and the Queen are told) of paying the cost of cleaning up the mess they made in Lac-Megantic, which will cost several times the firm’s estimated net worth.

    In a better-ordered world than this one, the Queen would have authorized the people of Lac-Megantic to settle accounts with Mr. Burkhardt the only way that would come close to doing so—tying him to a pole, dousing pole and man with the volatile petroleum product of their choice, setting it alight and putting the resulting spectacle on Youtube as a warning to others. As it is, the only winner is likely to be Warren Buffett, who doubtless will be only too happy to pick up a new railroad for a dollar, and for whom the needless death of fifty people is a cost of doing business, not a calamity.

  5. This was not unexpected, the company will likely be liquidated, and the parent company may go under as well

  6. Hummmmmm. The Montreal(full of french parasites)the Maine(full of DemocRATS)and the Atlantic(full of welfare leftards) has no money.Gee.Who would have thunk it? And BTW,for the millionth time,diesel fuel does not explode.I wonder what they where really carrying.

  7. Justthinkin: Despite its name, MMA’s headquarters are in Chicago. The French Canadians have many things to account for, believe me. Much as it may surprise some people here, though, I do not actually blame the French Canadians for everything that goes wrong in this dominion.
    Only a lunatic or an ignoramus could ascribe blame in this matter to anybody but the reckless fool who passed himself off as a great entrepreneur, cutting costs by contracting incompetents and transporting flammable goods in hopper cars that everyone knew cracked like an egg at the slightest blow, expecting the insurers to clean up the mess. That’s why the insurers refused to pay. They knew no court even in the United States would pretend for a moment that this was anyone’s fault but MMA’s.

  8. Geeze!
    If I’d only not bought those lottery tickets the Earth would not be in such JEPARDY!!!

  9. Dick…sorry. I forgot the /sarc tag.I was being tongue-in-cheek. I do not blame any Canadian for this either.Although I am one of those who believe there is no such animal as French,or any other Canadian.You are either Canadian,or not.And I still want to know what they where really carrying.I worked far too many years in the oil/gas industries to know that dieseal DOES NOT,CANNOT explode. Burn like hell,yes,but explode? NO. Did the train hit a gas line? Could be. That will start a great little fireball.And BTW,I am from Atlantic Canada,and know the leftard welfare system very well. I only got out of it because my Dad worked his buns off as a mechanic 14 hrs/day,6 days a week,to allow me to go to college. And he is still alive and gripping today about the fact that his bad shoulder won’t let him play 18 holes of golf. I hope that is the only thing I have to beyootch about 30 years from now if I make 85!

  10. The last word hasn’t been said here. After the MMA is liquidated, which will be worth nothing after the various compensations and penalties are paid, the creditors will sue the insurance company. Fifty years or so later, we’ll have a final outcome from the courts.

  11. There have been a lot of accidents in the general area of petro-chemicals in the past year or so. Does anyone else think this might not be a random occurrence?

  12. Yeah,I saw this on the news tonight.
    Remarked to my wife that undoubtedly the GOOD OLD CANADIAN TAXPAYER will be on the hook for this one.
    And THAT is no surprise. Have to agree with Slater, maybe lynching the owner would have been the right thing to do.

  13. Know a very big player in the oil biz, good man.
    He would agree 100% with this statistic.
    He thinks people opposed to pipelines are fools.

  14. What dreadful writing:
    “Disregarding a three hour temper tantrum it through around Cape Lyon last night, the wind has been behaving extremely well.”
    “Early in the trip, while camping on a beach, a polar bear leaped on their tent and mauled them” (I wonder how a polar bear camps…)
    &c.

  15. Hey DS- the blame lays squarely on the engineer who didn’t follow regulations when tying up his train for the night.
    It’s foolish to ascribe blame to inanimate objects; only someone who believes in anthropomorphism [or Disney cartoons] would be that foolish.

  16. Yeah well, railways have been well regulated for about 150 years.
    The “Big Hill” (long replaced by the spiral tunnels) was too steep but the regulatory authority gave a special exemption…with many conditions…..speed limits, # of cars in a train and so on.
