Once again the name and face of Chicken Little buys the recognition that continues to elude him through normal channels. I predict he will make a play for the White house in 2016 with the only obstacle in his way being his own lack of personality. Remember the name. You will hear it often in the next two years.

“PC candidate earns Liberal endorsements in Lambton-Kent-Middlesex”
“Wolder was campaign manager for former Liberal MP Rose-Marie Ur through four elections but said he’s not supporting the party provincially this time for reasons that include the ORNGE air ambulance scandal, gas plant scandals, climbing electricity costs, Ontario’s growing debt and wind turbines rising in his community.
“My wife certainly doesn’t want these towers near our farm,” Wolder said. “She’s quite upset about it.”
Wolder said he believes many “high-profile Liberals” aren’t supporting the party this election, and added, “I see lots of Liberals down my street that have Conservative signs.”

“Dalton McGuinty questioned in probe of alleged gas plant scandal coverup, OPP confirms”
“The OPP anti-rackets investigation into an alleged coverup in Dalton McGuinty’s office intensified Thursday with detectives serving a court order at Queen’s Park for key records, and confirming they have interviewed the former premier about the gas plants scandal.
The judge-issued order requires staff to hand over various records, including visitor logs for the times police believe an off-the-books computer tech accessed hard drives in the premier’s office, four days before Kathleen Wynne was sworn in.
The information to obtain the court’s production order was drafted after a handful of police interviews, including one with Mr. McGuinty in April.”

“The Failed Presidency of Barack Obama”
“He promised to bring us together. Instead, he drove us apart.”
“In the end, Obama’s legacy will not be a stronger Democratic party or a nation that is happier, more harmonious, and more free. People will not look back on these years as good for the country, for our politics or our people. And as for his policy legacy, the repeal of his only real domestic achievement of significance, Obamacare, will be a core issue accepted by every Republican presidential candidate in 2016. The opposition to Obamacare is motivated, but its supporters aren’t.”

“This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder.”
“The “small people”, the “rank and file”, the “loyal soldiers” of the narcissist – his flock, his nation, his employees – they pay the price. The disillusionment and disenchantment are agonizing. The process of reconstruction, of rising from the ashes, of overcoming the trauma of having been deceived, exploited and manipulated – is drawn-out. It is difficult to trust again, to have faith, to love, to be led, to collaborate. Feelings of shame and guilt engulf the erstwhile followers of the narcissist. This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder.

“Europe Faces Green Power Curbs to Stop Grids Overloading”
“Europe’s drive toward a power system based on renewable energy has gone so far that output will probably need to be cut within months because of oversupply.
Network operators are likely to curb solar and wind generation at times of low demand to prevent overloading the region’s 188,000 miles (302,557 kilometers) of power lines, Entso-e, the grid association in Brussels, said last month.”
““In some member states we have been too fast” in expanding renewables, European Union Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said June 3 in an interview at the Eurelectric conference. The region needs better infrastructure to integrate the new power, he said.”
