  1. And now….The 2014 Darwin Award Champions-
    John Pernicky and his friend, Sal Hawkins, of the great state of Washington, decided to attend a local Metallica concert at the George Washington amphitheater. Having no tickets (but having had 18 beers between them), they thought it would be easy to “hop” over the nine foot fence and sneak into the show. They pulled their pickup truck over to the fence and the plan was for Mr. Pernicky, who was 100 pounds heavier than Mr. Hawkins, to hop the fence and then assist his friend over. Unfortunately for (the late) Mr. Pernicky, there was a 30-foot drop on the other side of the fence. Having heaved himself over, he found himself crashing through a tree. His fall was abruptly halted (and broken, along with his arm) by a large branch that snagged him by his shorts. Dangling from the tree with a broken arm, he looked down and saw some bushes below him. Possibly figuring the bushes would break his fall, he removed his pocket knife and proceeded to cut away his shorts to free himself from the tree. Finally free, Mr. Pernicky crashed into holly bushes. The sharp leaves scratched his ENTIRE body and now, without the protection of his shorts, a holly branch penetrated his rectum. To make matters worse, upon landing his pocket knife penetrated his thigh. Hawkins, seeing his friend in considerable pain and agony, threw him a rope and tried to pull him to safety by tying the rope to the pickup truck and slowly driving away. However, in his drunken haste, he put the truck into reverse and crashed through the fence, landing on his friend and killing him. Police arrived to find the crashed pickup with its driver thrown 100 feet from the truck and dead at the scene from massive internal injuries. Upon moving the truck, they found John deceased under it half-naked, scratches on his body, a holly stick in his rectum, a knife in his thigh, and his shorts dangling from a tree branch 25 feet in the air.
    Congratulations, gentlemen. Two more idiots have been removed from the gene pool and society is richer because of their supreme sacrifice.

    “Labrador blizzard: The snow has stopped, now the shoveling begins”
    “The Wabush Airport observed nearly 80 centimetres of snowfall over a 24-hour period, with coastal areas seeing an average of 30 to 40 cm.”
    “Atlantic Canada is now bracing for another series of winter storm systems. More snow is on the way for central Newfoundland and the Maritimes, beginning Thursday and continuing into the weekend.”

  8. ” Brison said the federal Liberals are looking at a recently struck deal between the Quebec government and its pension fund manager to build new public infrastructure as a potential solution to Canada’s infrastructure woes. ”
    Economic guru Scooter Brison floats a trial balloon. This infrastructure would likely include ‘green’ energy projects and public transit.
    The Liberals would invest our pensions, make oodles of money and save the planet for the children. All patterned on a Quebec plan.
    Everyone benefits.
    What could possibly go wrong ?
    It is a wynne-wynne situation.

  9. No point of wondering any longer, CO2 caused climate change is not a hoax. How do I know? The US Senate voted on it:
    http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=114&session=1&vote=00010
    “Now, in this great deliberative body, called by many the greatest
    deliberative body, we have a great issue before us–perhaps as many
    say, the issue of our time–and that is what our carbon pollution–the
    excess carbon that we burn when we burn fossil fuels–is doing to our
    atmosphere and what it is doing to our oceans. There is no factual
    debate about what it is doing to our atmosphere and our oceans. It is
    crystal clear, and the consequences are crystal clear as well.”
