  1. Hmm, this might help explain my super-awesome neighbours…
    A vast body of research, amassed over recent decades, shows that religious belief is physically and psychologically beneficial – to a remarkable degree.
    “In 2004, scholars at UCLA revealed that college students involved in religious activities are likely to have better mental health. In 2006, population researchers at the University of Texas discovered that the more often you go to church, the longer you live. In the same year researchers at Duke University in America discovered that religious people have stronger immune systems than the irreligious. They also established that churchgoers have lower blood pressure.
    “Meanwhile in 2009 a team of Harvard psychologists discovered that believers who checked into hospital with broken hips reported less depression, had shorter hospital stays, and could hobble further when they left hospital – as compared to their similarly crippled but heathen fellow-sufferers.

  2. City Kids? There is a big difference between most of our city and rural grandchildren. The city kids are lost without a TV or an electronic device, while the rural kids know how to entertain themselves and how to work.
    I thought one of the comments to Anthony’s post regarding the fracking protesters and about using anti-hippie repellant being soap on a rope was priceless.
    Tea anyone?

  3. Re: City Kids.
    I`ve always been curious to know why people of my generation (baby boomers) believed that city kids knew more than we did. I`d be interested in running an IQ test between say 30 kids from Edmonton, and 30 kids from Pincher Creek!
    Thank EBD!

  4. Well, you see, John, there is the difference between you and we. We on the right can recognize and appreciate talent, even if the individual with talent is a barking moonbat. The Left are so consumed with hate that they dismiss the accomplishments of anyone who goes off their reservation.
    I can enjoy listening to the music of many performers who are such lefties that I’d never invite them into my home, and I can also studiously avoid buying their product. That’s what radio is for, after all.

    “Reactions to ‘the pause’: Grasping at strawmen in hidey holes”
    “It has been quite entertaining to watch the various explanations coming out to rationalize “the pause” in surface temperatures for the last 16 years. For example, as Jerome Ravetz points out to me in email, The Times Hannah Devlin says the warming has just gone into hiding.”

    Car bombs, roadside bombs and shootings killed at least 47 people in Iraq on Sunday, police and medical sources said, as tensions intensify between Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims across the Middle East.”

  7. That video is from 2008. I doubt Werner is singing that song today, John. In fact, it seems a lot of leftists are suffering from buyer’s remorse t having been duped into voting for the worst president in history.
    Also, I find it very sad that someone would be so weak of character that they would worship another person like a living god. But that seems to be the way of the left. Cult of personality. Pathetic.
