  1. VP Joe Plugs Biden’s son discharged from Navy..tested positive for cocaine! See Mediaite site.Can’t wait for the Rob Ford like coverage by msm.

  2. Tillsonburg. Picked tobacco near there in 71 …. paid for a motorcycle. Got stabbed in a bunkhouse. Regular bar fights in town every Saturday. Not enough whiskey in the world to get this one to go near a local woman.
    The ONE good thing about the death of tobacco …. the end of that sh!t Hole as we knew it.

  3. I received an excerpt from this interview in an e-mail from a relative who is ‘convinced’ that I am a racist bigot since I have never joined him in Obama worship.
    This ‘writer’ (academic-seeking-an-interview-with-Oprah) claims the Tea Party is right up there with the KKK.
    Funny thing is said relative excluded the part about the interview being in the TO Star.

    Bonner’s book….not selling well.

  4. Ebola: can dogs catch and transmit the virus to humans?
    Researchers believed that dog-to-human transmission could explain some human cases where there was no documented source of exposure to the Ebola virus.
    Professor David Sanders, a biologist at Purdue University agrees. “The concept that viruses in animals can be transmitted to humans and can have potential harmful consequences, that’s obvious,” he told CNN. “So infected animals that are not showing signs of infection can potentially be capable of transferring virus to humans.”

  5. While Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization officials continue to insist Ebola cannot be transmitted by air from one person to another, an Army manual clearly warns the virus could be an airborne threat in certain circumstances.
    The handbook published by the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, USAMRID, titled “USAMRID’s Medical Management of Biological Casualties Handbook,” is now in its seventh edition.
    The most recent edition was published in 2011, with more than 100,000 copies distributed to military and civilian health-care providers around the world.
    On page 117 of the handbook, in a chapter discussing “Viral Hemorrhagic Fever” (VHF), a category of viruses that includes Ebola, USAMRID says: “In several instances, secondary infections among contacts and medical personnel without direct body fluid exposure have been documented. These instances have prompted concern of a rare phenomenon of aerosol transmission of infection.”
    Page 117 continues to specify: “Therefore, when VHF is suspected, additional infection control measures are indicated.”

  6. I was driving around that area this past summer. I don’t know what it was like there in the past, but there are still plenty of tobacco fields there now.

  7. Are they’re grasping at straws on Ebola? How much do they really know beyond the fact it’s deadly, there is no cure, no vaccine?
    Would it not make a peck of sense to contain it, stop all passenger flights to and from infected regions? It appears our own government is sitting on this one too, refusing to take the most obvious action. If this were something like a TB infected region we’d likely not allow people entry even though we know all about TB and can treat it.

  8. President Ebola.
    “After the spectacular humiliation of Obama’s open door policy nobody — not Belize at least — wants to commit an Obama.”

    “The Flying Dutchman”
    “In a manner of speaking the Flying Dutchman sails the seas again.”
    “An Ebola suspect on a cruise ship, that’s worse than letting the nurse fly by air. At least the government is trying to get him back.
    But wait. There’s more.”

    “Nepal trekkers ‘kicked out of lodge during snow storm’ blame local greed for eight deaths”
    “At least eight trekkers died after Nepal lodge owner at Thorung La Pass promised to lead them to safety in return for cash, but abandoned them to their fate mid-route, according to survivors”

  10. Eeeek!!! Proof there should be no pipelines, or the tar sands, and certainly not oil tankers – or, is this headline misleading?
    RUSSIAN CONTAINER SHIP FULL OF FUEL ADRIFT OFF B.C.
    “…the ship is currently about 17 kilometres off Haida Gwaii and carrying 400 tonnes of bunker oil and 50 tonnes of diesel.”
    I believe that’s somewhere in the vicinity of 120,000 gallons, which is clearly significant, should it leak. I also doubt it’s double-hulled.
    Obviously it’s the Exxon Valdez all over again!
    Inconvenient fact: the Exxon Valdez was carrying about 53 million gallons, with about 11 million gallons spilled, when she ran aground due to rank stupidity by all concerned.

  11. Tillsonburg!
    What memories of a summer priming tobacco on Harold Church’s farm back in ’59. 4 Newfies and my best friend from Hamilton, all 6 of us kept enslaved by Harold’s sexy daughter, who served us huge meals before we were booted off to the fields as the sun was coming up.
    Back-breaking work, but it paid for most of my 1st year at UWO. Memories.
