  2. Christopher Hitchens variety-pack video: Islam is Bull Poop.
    Warning: the illogic and dishonesty of Ahmed Younis, Hitchens’ interlocutor on the first CNN segment in the video, may induce vomiting.

  3. Have you bookmarked David Stockman’s Contra Corner?
    If you’re interested in matters financial, DO IT.
    Also read his magnum opus The Great Deformation.
    Top of his site at the moment:
    It’s Earnings Season So Here Come the Crooks
    It’s about the accounting games Alcoa has played to turn a P/E of 75 into P/E 17.

  4. Men Without Chests: How C.S. Lewis Predicted Charlie Hebdo Censorship

    It is an outrage that they should be commonly spoken of as Intellectuals. This gives them the chance to say that he who attacks them attacks Intelligence. It is not so. They are not distinguished from other men by an unusual skill in finding truth nor any virginal ardour to produce her…It is not excess of thought but defect of fertile and generous emotion that marks them out. Their heads are no bigger than the ordinary: it is the atrophy of the chest beneath that makes them seem so.” —C.S. Lewis, “The Abolition of Man”

  5. Any Premier that invites Al Gore to speak on how we must save the planet is begging for a carbon tax. C’mon Ontario, you know you are not paying nearly enough for that wonderful green energy and deep down inside you want to pay a lot more. That’s why you’re going to get a carbon tax ….because you really deserve it. Remember to continue voting Liberal and do your share to stop global warming.

  9. For those who worry that Western culture is going to the dogs – and admittedly the jury is out on that – here is the wonderful up and coming classical pianist, 24 year old Daniil Trifonov, playing Liszt’s incredibly difficult Mazeppa Etude:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEQ90Re8qA
    This performance was from his recent December concert at Carnegie Hall.
    If the young and magnificent Trifonov can do this for us, then surely we can find the guts to stand up against those that wish to destroy everything we stand for.

  13. Got an extra $25.
    Doing nothing this Saturday and live near Calgary?
    Well, have I got a treat for you.
    For only $25 you can find out how to ward off the evil eye.
    But wait, there is more .
    Are you worried about the sihr? How about the Jinn or black magic ?
    If so, you must attend ” Ruqyah , The reality of jinn,evil eye,sihr,black magic. and a quick tafsir of surah jinn.”
    Protect yourself and the ones you love for the price of a couple of chickens.
    http://iisc.ca /
    This organization is ‘legitimate’. They have charitable status in Canada.
    You may not know what a sihr is. I didn’t until a few hours ago. A sihr is a demon that enters your body when you are lacking in faith.
    They are nasty beasts. They will cause so many health problems. If you are a woman that experiences bleeding between your regular periods, that is the work of a sihr. They travel down to your womb and stomp on your veins causing you to bleed. Epilepsy is another sign of their invasion.
    The hijama clinic (use google) can help with these problems. They use cupping to draw out the demons. Cupping is similar to a barber’s leeches without the leeches.
    Jinn are demons that wreak havoc on your whole life,similar to poltergeists.
    A ” tafsir of surah jinn ‘ is likely a quick fix to ward off the demons.
    The evil eye is what your ex gives you when you meet her with arm candy. It may be real.
    By now you may be wondering what kind of crazy people live in the mountains near Calgary.
    Is this Deliverance county, snake-handlers from Kentucky, and the Westboro nutbars united ?
    You would be wrong.
    This event is promoted by the ‘Muslims of Calgary’, the largest organization of Muslims in the province.
    It is being held at the University of Calgary.
    That would be the same university that does not allow Christians to protest against abortion.
    This is medieval.
    This is where political correctness has brought us.

  16. Globe and Mail, Tues., Jan. 13. New meaning for the phrase “hoist by your own petard”.
    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/pension-fund-managers-protest-being-brought-under-powerful-new-regulator/article22421564/
    “Three of Canada’s largest pension fund managers are protesting powerful new legislation that would include pension plans among the key financial players to be governed by a new regulator overseeing systemic risks in Canada’s capital markets.”
    “The three pension plans, all representing public sector workers in Ontario …”
    Public sector union leaders, judging from their frequent op-ed pieces, are front of the line in defending regulations of all kinds, and advocating more.
    So you got your wish, assholes.

  17. Globe and Mail, Tues., Jan. 13. Dietitian Leslie Beck on: How to make sense of the constant onslaught of nutrition studies.
    http://m.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/leslie-beck-a-laymans-guide-to-nutrition-news-reports/article22416064/?service=mobile
    “Scientists don’t expect to find answers from individual studies and neither should we. Think of scientific research as a conversation between researchers that usually goes on for many years.”
    “Different study designs have certain weaknesses, or biases, that can distract you from the truth.”
    Really. So whenever someone regales us about “evidence-based” policies, we should tell them to take a hike?

  20. This one from the Toronto Star will have you shaking your head. The headline blares “Crown ignores evidence as man vindicated” in the case of a Sudanese immigrant accused of pushing an elderly woman down a set of stairs.
    However, the video shows just the opposite. The immigrant did indeed grab the lady’s elbow and apply force, pushing her away from him, and directly lead her to turn half-way around, lose her balance, and fall down the stairs.
    Further, the immigrant is seen to move is leg back so to apply more leverage to his action prior to the push. As well, after he loses his grip on the lady, his hand flicks forward, as the object he was applying force to is gone, and the laws of motion take hold.
    The judge in this case is nuts. The Toronto Star, so ready to run a story that highlights yet another immigrant wrongly treated by the police, likely ran the story without looking at the video.
    And of course, no comments were allowed, which is why I chose to utilize the interweb to post my outrage here.
    The article states the immigrant just wants to go back home. I would donate to a crowd funding effort. Would you?

  22. How much did debt ridden Ontario pay for Windbag Gore to speak about saving the planet? Those of us living here are wondering how we can save Ontario from the bread lines.

  23. Last week a story appeared on SDA “A Public Engagement Goes Horribly Wrong
    Via email;
    Gord Miller, The Environmental Commissioner for Ontario – land of alternative energy, debt, taxes, and corrupt government – feels that “Governments should honestly advise the public about the risks they face, and the responsibilities they will bear, in a changing climate.”
    He thoughtfully provided a spot for feedback at the bottom…
    Update: so far the moderator seems … unengaged.” Jan 7.
    None of our comments appeared after moderation. On the web site, this story was the only one that didn’t have a comment symbol within it’s header. Now I’ve gone back and no comments (nor symbol) appears on any article.
    Have I been banned from commenting? Can someone go to the site and then tell me if they have commenting privileges? The comment part is (was) immediately to the right of each post header. If you made a comment you may also be banned, I don’t know. If you made no comment you should be able to axcess the comment section, I don’t know.
    They may have disabled the comments completely, I don’t know. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks…. Jeff

  29. The piano is not an instrument which should be thrashed so mercilessly. What an infernal row! Is that what they call “Heavy Ivory”?

  31. Good riddance of chief commissar Hall of Ontario Human Rights Commission. Do not replace her, shut the thing down, it’s a cancer in a democracy, a total disgrace, a flagrant waste of money. It does nothing but rob people of freedom of speech, look at the history of the so-called Human Rights Commissions, look at the people who trot to them with complaints,they’re people who want to take away our right to freedom of speech and they win every time, become more equal than others.

  32. Hi. It’s 1:09… can anyone give me a heads up? I would like to know all the facts before I make a judgement and then, if neccissary complain.
    Thank you again….. Jeff
    PS I’m (as I commented on the site) an Ontario taxpayer and the least I’m owed is an explanation.

  33. I commented some days ago. It showed up after I hit the submit button. Whenever I went back, the only comment there was one giving a tongue bath to the global warming scam.
    Just visited the site now and nothing shows up regarding the article and nothing shows that allows comments on the others. Is this what you are referring to?

  35. Thanks Beef… yes , that’s what I’m looking for. You commented and now show NO ability to speak again. Ergo you would be banned if (and only if) only (positive) other voices were to be allowed to be spoken.
    If someone (who didn’t comment) had the same ‘non-comment’ rule applied it would be propaganda, not censorship. A subtle difference.
    Thank you for answering…. Jeff

  36. Open Letter to the French President

  39. Russia appeals for calm as crisis forces it to cut budget
    http://news.yahoo.com/russian-minister-promises-limit-government-spending-081622735.html
    — The government is well aware of the risks of cuts to the healthcare system, a potentially explosive prospect after layoffs at Moscow hospitals sparked protests in November. At least 5,000 people took to the streets in Moscow to protest those cuts, which could see up to 10,000 doctors removed from their jobs in the capital.
    — Defense spending will remain untouched as the Russian government seeks to modernize its military. The Kremlin allocated 20 trillion rubles to buying military equipment from 2010 through 2020.
