  1. Washington post November 1922 ( confirmed to be true by Snopes.com )
    […]The Arctic seems to be warming up. Reports from fisherman, seal hunters, and explorers who sail the seas about Spitzbergen and the eastern Arctic, all point to a radical change in climatic conditions, and hitherto underheard-of high temperatures in that part of the earth’s surface.
    In August, 1922, the Norwegian Department of Commerce sent an expedition to Spitzbergen and Bear Island under the leadership of Dr. Adolf Hoel, lecturer on geology at the University of Christiania. Its purpose was to survey and chart the lands adjacent to the Norwegian mines on those islands, take soundings of the adjacent waters, and make other oceanographic investigations.
    Ice conditions were exceptional. In fact, so little ice has never before been noted. The expedition all but established a record, sailing as
    far north as 81° 29′ in ice-free water. This is the farthest north ever reached with modern oceanographic apparatus.

    “South Africa refuses to arrest ICC fugitive Bashir”
    “South Africa, as a signatory of the ICC treaty, was required to arrest Mr. Bashir. But it refused to take action, without offering any official explanation.”

  10. In case you were wondering about that Engage Canada HDS commercial, yes, of course, it’s pure MoveOn crap:
    http://www.winnipegsun.com/2015/06/12/new-ad-from-anti-harper-group-all-baloney
    Their first 30-second TV spot begins: “Under the Conservatives, inequality is skyrocketing. Income for the wealthiest 5% is increasing 12 times faster than for the rest of Canadians.”
    But that’s not true. To make this claim, Engage Canada used a yardstick that omits income millions of us get from old age security, EI, welfare payments and other government transfers, including refundable tax credits.
    The better yardstick is one one that includes all income — pensions, transfers, tax credits, capital gains — and then subtracts taxes paid to federal and provincial governments.
    Use that more reasonable yardstick and the wealthiest are actually worse off. The rich have seen total after-tax income rise 15.9% from 2006 to 2012. The rest of us saw total after-tax income grow 17% over the same period.
