Reader Tips

Tonight’s tips music features the most famous guitar riff in rock ‘n’ roll history, and a sound that was to become a musical template in the decades to follow: Here’s Chuck Berry – who’ll be 87 next month – playing and singing on the original recording of Johnny B. Goode.
The comments thread is open, as always, for your Reader Tips.

  1. The Other McCain on the ignorance of the anti-Semitic, “Sirhan Sirhan wing of the Democrat Party”, and the left’s airbrushing of history:

    The increasing dominance of the Left — ideologues who share the dangerous views of extremists like Bill Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright — shares less in common with Bobby Kennedy than they do with his assassin. But try asking anyone under 30 about who assassinated RFK (correct answer: a Palestinian nationalist) or who assassinated John F. Kennedy (correct answer: a pro-Castro communist named Lee Harvey Oswald) and you immediately discover that young people have been taught no facts about history.

    The names and motives of Sirhan and Oswald are not obscure bits of trivia, but these facts are deliberately suppressed by the Left (whose control of academia, especially in the humanities and social sciences, is hegemonic) because if young people were taught the truth about history, they would oppose the Left’s worldview and oppose the Left’s policies.

  2. Re: Johnny B. Goode
    Thanks! Great song while driving around on a quiet Saturday nite! This town is so boring, the female impersonators are women!

  3. Gas missiles ‘were not sold to Syria’
    Export papers seem to back Assad’s denial over sarin attack – but Russians won’t go into detail
    -information is now circulating in the city that Russia’s new “evidence” about the attack includes the dates of export of the specific rockets used and – more importantly – the countries to which they were originally sold. They were apparently manufactured in the Soviet Union in 1967 and sold by Moscow to three Arab countries, Yemen, Egypt and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s Libya.

    Published: September 20, 2013”
    “”Even those guys with all their power, speed and money couldn’t conquer the ice,” Wolf said.
    The ice-clogged passage from Cambridge Bay northward was the result of a late continuation of the ice season and the vagaries of where wind blows ice, Wolf said.”

    “First the Mall, Now the Church”
    “How many ways can you say, “workplace violence”? The writers of the Narrative have their work cut out for them tonight. With hostages still in the grasp of al-Shabab in Kenya, ABC News reports that 43 people have died in a suicide bombing attack on a church in Pakistan.”
    “Unsurprisingly, women and children were killed. The BBC says that “a bomb blast outside a church” wreaked the customary havoc and “the victims were said to include women and children.”

  6. The NDP: champions of freedom of expression rights:
    NDP wants Visa ban on Russian politicians who supported anti-gay law

  7. Vis a vis NDP wants visa ban on Russian politicians who supported anti-gay law, will they call for a visa ban on all Somalis from Kenya after the Muslim mall massacre — or would that be considered racist?

  8. Revenge for Veggie Day…
    “In what could be a cautionary tale for First Lady Michelle Obama’s efforts to tweak Americans’ diets, Germans look set to punish the Green Party for urging that public cafeterias go meat-free on a designated ‘Veggie Day’ each week in order to help the environment and reduce cruelty to animals. Borrowing colorfully from English, German newspaper Bild described public reaction to the idea as a ‘shitstorm.’ ”

  9. “Your Move, Global Warming Alarmists. Science Has Exposed Your Unwarranted Hysteria”
    “Who will decide American public policy on the issue of potentially catastrophic man caused global warming? The answer is you and me, through the democratic process that governs our country.
    So spare me the comments saying Shut Up, you are not a scientist and your commentary here is not peer reviewed scientific literature, so you have no business even talking about it. That is an anti-democratic, brown shirt tactic meant to foreclose public discussion and debate, which has been the dominant strategy of those trying to force their unwelcome ideological agenda on the rest of us through this issue. What does that alone tell you about who is right about the actual science?”
