  3. Fred Reed’s latest:

    Something strange is happening in the United States. A Canadian friend recently said, “I can remember when Americans weren’t afraid of everything.” Just so. Don’t run on the playground because you might fall. Don’t roughhouse because you might get a bruise. Don’t go outside at high noon because you might get skin cancer. Don’t swim after eating because you might get a cramp. If a child draws a soldier, call a SWAT team because he is a murderous psychopath. Don’t ride a bicycle without a helmet. Fill in the deep end of the pool because someone might drown. Supervise everything. Control everything. Fear everything.

  5. Fear and paranoia are the easiest way to control stupid sheeple.
    That’s what the so-called ‘patriot act’ was all about.

  6. When I went to fill the bird-feeder this morning, the windchill was -42°C, and one of the chickadees actually landed on my shoulder…and *stayed there*.
    We had not previously met.
    Cold night!

  18. It’s under the “question of the day” tab adjacent to the “become a fan” tab in the right column, for anyone else wondering if Gunney99 is a Man seeking a Woman from 18-25:

    Canada’s Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq tweeted a photo of a freshly killed polar bear with the caption: Enjoy!!! Do you think this is appropriate?

  19. The ongoing ‘climate talks’ are rapidly degenerating into nothing more than the 3rd world shaking down the 1st and 2nd world for more compensation. Fortunately Canada refuses to be blackmailed.
    The EU, Australia and some small Kyoto parties, representing about 15 percent of total global emissions, have said they would take on commitments in a second period, but New Zealand, Canada, Japan and Russia will not.

  20. Glenfilthie, the article says that both “authorities” and the media refuse to acknowledge that the “game” is not a hate crime or that race is a factor. Were race not a factor, they wouldn’t be looking for the shooter.

  23. Green-Red AGW Watermelon Progress Report.
    Bestest of all:

    “Obama Lived With Undocumented Uncle White House Claimed He Never Met”
    “Two days after an immigration judge ruled that President Obama’s Kenyan uncle could stay in the United States, the White House today acknowledged that the president lived briefly with Onyango “Omar” Obama, despite having previously claimed there was no record of their ever meeting.”

  25. BITCOIN again.
    Another superb piece by Gary North
    I, Broken Pencil. An economic analysis of Bitcoin (digital tulip mania!!!).

    I see LAS’s “Christian Taliban” label is not original. Frankly I don’t give a sheet about North’s religious views, or his alleged Holocaust denial (which accusation I saw this morning) any more than I reject Wagner’s music for his anti-semitism. LAS’s hero Ron Paul is one for sure!
    The key thing to get here is the Libertarian Utopianism of Bitcoin. Having been a libertarian most of my adult life I’m finally beginning, abashedly, to come to terms with this Utopianism with the able assistance of our lad LAS.

  26. Well hallelujah, the Will County workers got their 14.5% raise:
    http://heraldnews.suntimes.com/24192910-417/will-county-workers-approve-contracts.
    “The contracts — retroactive to Dec. 1, 2012 — give workers a cost-of-living raise of 4.5 percent phased in over the next two years. The raises will be 1 percent Jan. 1, 1 percent when a new health insurance payment program takes effect next year, 1.5 percent Jan. 1, 2015, and 1 percent Jan. 1, 2016.
    Those raises are on top of the 2.5 percent “step” increases on the pay scale that members now get for each additional year of employment — meaning a total 14.5 percent pay increase by the end of 2016.
    Also, the two bottom steps on the pay scale will be removed in mid-2015, which will increase each scale step by 5 percent.”
    If I lived 500 feet to the west I’d be in Kendall County and this wouldn’t be coming out of my wallet.

  29. Do you have a house full of chickadees now, EBD? Entrancing but you know birds are. They cr@p all over everything. You’ll want to watch out for that.
    Non-chickadee-related: Mark Steyn: Inequality far worse than economic: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/work-540498-one-health.html
    ‘America’s liberal elite seem to enjoy having a domestic-servant class on hand, but, unlike the Downton Abbey crowd, are vaguely uncomfortable with having them drawn from the sturdy yokel stock of the village, and thus favor, to a degree only the Saudis can match, importing their maids and pool boys from a permanent subordinate class of cheap foreign labor. Hence the fetishization of the “undocumented,” soon to be reflected in the multimillion bipartisan amnesty for those willing to do “the jobs Americans won’t do.”’

  31. Hey idiot, Red Green [Steve Smith] does not support the AGW agenda. Get your facts straight and stop disrespecting a Canadian hero for your stupid little agenda.

  33. It might interest you to know that that terms like Red Green or Radish are nothing new. A Radish saved my wife’s grandfather and his brother from being picked up early in the morning by the Bolsheviks and taken to a place for execution. Radish being Red on the outside and White on the inside. Term was in use already in 1917.

  34. Talk about hypocracy.
    Women, We’re Our Own Worst Enemies

    My post back
    When you start talking about real problems for Women like FGM. The fact Women are half human in Islam. The dehumanizing of females in real Patriarchal nations. That don’t allow Women even to drive. Let alone sex selection against girls in abortion. Healthcare , schooling, denied any girls.
    If not murder to stop emancipation of any kind.
    Than it makes a lie of the statement your a Women first. Frankly your a Marxist , first , last, & always. Its an anti western self loathing you preach. Nothing else unless it nurtures this political poison, is just fodder to extend this agenda. Including carefully crafted Western Female problems.Which has more to do with a monochrome leftist culture, than actually inequality.
    That don’t come even close to what happens to most Ladies living on this planet.
    Speak about honour killings. Shout out against a theology that allows Women to beat, for their own good. Scream about from rooftops the suffering of Women in third world Nations. Than maybe we will listen to you. Perhaps even seriously.
    As long as people like you stand for cultural equivalence, while your sisters suffer you have no weight.
