  4. Steyn Online is contentless right now. Nothing untoward, I hope — but strange happenings on the ‘net these days.

  6. …the birds had taken unprecedented evasive action, beginning one to two days ahead of the storm’s arrival.
    “The warblers in our study flew at least 1,500km (932 miles) in total,” Dr Streby said.
    They escaped just south of the tornadoes’ path – and then went straight home again. By 2 May, all five were back in their nesting area.
    Remarkably, the warblers’ evacuation commenced while the closest tornado was still hundreds of miles away. Weather conditions in the nesting area were still nothing out of the ordinary.
    The most likely tip-off was the deep rumble that tornadoes produce, well below what humans can hear.
    Noise in this “infrasound” range travels thousands of kilometres, and may serve as something of an early warning system for animals that can pick it up.
    “It’s very unlikely that this species is the only group doing this,” Dr Streby said.

  11. John Galt on December 19, 2014 12:01 AM – so the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, this proves only left-handers are in their right mind!
    I was once on a crew of 15 and eight of us were left-handed. Anyone care to figure out the statistical odds?

  15. Wynne is too busy showboating, arrogantly going after the PM for a private meeting. She’s trying to lay blame for the dismal mess her party has made of the province of Ontario to be concerned about any of the scandals and why should she, she has a majority of Toronto.

  19. Two points:
    1. She thinks that she is Premier of Canada.
    2. She’s helping out Turdeau.
    3. She’s on a distraction campaign.

  21. Agree with all three points, that’s exactly what’s going on. Her superiority complex is wearing thin, the more she postures against the PM, the more people will figure out what she’s up to. If she were as clever as she thinks she is she’d face the problems she and her party created, accept the blame and vow to fix them. Begging for more money from the Feds will not attract people to her province.
    At this point I can’t stand the sight of her. I can’t be alone.

  22. The dirty harry method of dealing with hostage takers first you delivery them the car they demanded right through the front of the store then proceed to shoot att three hostage takers DEAD,DEAD,DEAD

  23. Sounds like the Cuomo decision to ban fracking in NY was a lead pipe lock science wise. Just listen to his expert
    Acting Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said 4,500 staff hours were spent reviewing health studies about the drilling method of extracting oil and gas from deep underground by pumping huge amounts of water, sand and chemicals at high pressures to break up rock formations. It’s being done in many other states, including neighboring Pennsylvania.
    Zucker said his counterparts in several other states told him they were not consulted before their high-volume hydraulic fracturing began. He said he wouldn’t want his family to live near it, and suggested it could be like secondhand smoke, which studies eventually identified as harmful.
    So he found nothing.

    “It’s official: GOP will have biggest House majority since before the New Deal”
    “On Wednesday, the Associated Press called the outstanding race for congress in Arizona’s 2nd Congressional district. Rep. Ron Barber (D-AZ), a former aide to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and her successor in office, was narrowly defeated by Republican Martha McSally.
    With McSally’s victory, the 2014 midterm elections have officially concluded. At the start of the 114th Congress, Republicans will enjoy their largest majority in the House of Representatives since prior to the Great Depression and the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt with 247 members. The last time the GOP enjoyed that large of a majority was the 71st Congress in 1929 and 1930.”

    “The Real Barack Obama is Standing Up”
    “Where he once looked to Lyndon B. Johnson, a president known for achieving sweeping change through legislation, he’s now far more interested in the legacy of the Roosevelts, two administrations that pioneered the strong use of executive power, those who’ve spoken with him said.”

  29. John Galt: They escaped the tornado … only to run into a wind farm.
    Fred B. “64 percent of white men voted Republican.”
    So it’s “OK” to hate white men, I mean Republicans:

    Right, she can’t stand intolerant people. More critical thought from our academicians. Imagine being a conservative in her class, apparently it’s not permitted, which is OK because they probably belong to a church, Rotary Club, the Better Business Bureau and other “conduits of hate” which clearly make her and the fellow bigots in her class uncomfortable, thus poisoning the indoctrination, I mean learning process.
    Anyway, they probably didn’t get a social license for any of that s**t.

  30. That’s pretty cool. A study by Cornell on homing pigeons also suggests they navigate by infrasound.
