  1. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans are etched in the heart of all of us who watched Saturday afternoon TV on a black and white Zenith or RCA back in the 1960’s.
    Today I pay $70.00 a month for a cable subscription that is overrun with advertisements. A one hour program had almost 32 minutes of ads. Repeats, and garbage shows run amuck. The worst were the bozos who fought over the contents of storage units. Naked and Afraid is a close second. If someone is standing naked in front of a camera and they blurr the privates out, they’re not really naked now are they!!
    Boring!!

  2. What The Patriot-News doesn’t understand about democracy would choke a horse
    “Yesterday The Patriot News of Harrisburg PA, within minutes of the Supreme Court decision in Obergefell, banned all op-eds and public letters in opposition to the high court’s ruling. You need to read it to believe it: As a result of Friday’s ruling, PennLive/The Patriot-News will no longer accept, nor will it print, op-Eds and letters to the editor in opposition to same-sex marriage.”

  3. In case you missed Ben Shapiro – shame on you.
    “But in the idolatry of the left, we do not have the freedom to govern ourselves, nor even to rely the old God for our values and truths. Our betters will lead us. And they will grant any right they see fit, and reject any liberty they see fit, and redefine any term they see fit. Democracy in America did not die with jackboots; it died with the boredom and stupidity of an American people complicit in its demise, celebrating the circuses and the games provided by its new rulers, fat and happy in their submission. Let the parades be held; let the call go forth. By the power vested in them by, well, them, the Supreme Court and the left declare Americans husbands and husbands, wives and wives — and all of them slaves.”

  4. Ha!
    “On Friday my phone was blowing up with messages, asking if I’d seen the news. Some expressed disbelief at the headlines. Many said they were crying.
    None of them were talking about the dozens of people gunned down in Sousse, Tunisia, by a man who, dressed as a tourist, had hidden his Kalashnikov inside a beach umbrella. Not one was crying over the beheading in a terrorist attack at a chemical factory near Lyon, France. The victim’s head was found on a pike near the factory, his body covered with Arabic inscriptions. And no Facebook friends mentioned the first suicide bombing in Kuwait in more than two decades, in which 27 people were murdered in one of the oldest Shiite mosques in the country.
    They were talking about the only news that mattered: gay marriage.”

  6. Theres a episode of the classic 60’s Sci Fi series THE OUTER LIMITS with Eddie Albert and June Havock call CRY of SILENCE about these freakin tumbleweeds Totaly creeped me out as a kid becuase we used to go to this local place where there are Tumbleweeds. But the song is still great

  7. Television drama is vastly better than it was forty/fifty years ago.
    Don’t like ads? Get Netflix and hbo and ditch the cable TV.

  9. Caliente – Roy Rodgers in the mid ’50s or Howdy Doody (with my favourite, Dilly Dally) all black and white, and one channel in Calgary. I remember there was some drama, recall them advertising “The Spiral Staircase” but my mom wouldn’t let us stay up that late! While I get my cable paid for where I live, I gotta put up with all the crappy adverts for garbage on SHOMI (Shaw)!

  10. Neither will the CBC. I commented on the story saying ” It’s still an abomination in the eyes of God”. Within seconds my comment was disabled.

  11. Court decisions don’t care about equality, it’s equality under the law and the all knowing Justices are supreme beings, they alone can decide on equality which can often make some more equal than others. This has a ripple effect when it comes to hiring and promotions etc, the minority rule.

    “Kathleen Wynne has already steered Ontario’s economy into the iceberg – now sit back and watch it sink”
    “In the 2002-03 fiscal year, Ontario posted a budget surplus of $117 million – its fourth consecutive surplus. But in 2015-16, the province will be posting its eighth consecutive deficit. This is despite the fact that government revenues will be 16.6% of GDP in 2015-16, compared to 15.3% in 2002-03.
    Ontario’s net debt, which was at $133 billion in 2002-03, is projected to hit $320 billion by 2017-18. The debt-to-GDP ratio will have increased from 27.1% in 2002-03 to almost 40% in the next fiscal year.
    One of the primary reasons is the uncontrolled expansion of the public sector.”

  14. You obviusly haven’t seen Honey Boo-Boo. I cam across it once, accidentally, late at night in a hotel on a business trip. Ouch.

  15. The CBC is sanitizing the news once again.
    They had the original Reuters story up earlier today.
    http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/28/us-turkey-rights-pride-idUSKCN0P80OQ20150628
    It was put up at 11:46 a.m.
    It was updated at 1:11 p.m.
    It now reads;
    ” Turkish police have used water cannons and tear gas to clear a gay pride rally from Istanbul’s central square.
    Between 100 and 200 marchers were chased away from Taksim Square on Sunday after a police vehicle fired several jets of water to disperse the crowd.
    It wasn’t immediately clear why the police intervened to push the peaceful if noisy rally away from the area.
    The crowd regrouped a few blocks down the street and continued to dance and chant slogans against homophobia without any further clashes.
    The rally grew to several thousand people as the day wore on.”
    They rearranged a few words and deleted;
    ” The parade has been held in Istanbul in previous years, leading some to dub it the largest gay pride event in the Muslim world.”
    ” However, this year the timing of the parade coincides with the holy month of Ramadan, something that could cause conservative Muslims to bristle.”
    ” While homosexuality is not a crime in Turkey, unlike other Muslim countries, homophobia remains widespread.”
    All references to Islam and Muslims are gone.
    A billion dollars to misinform Canadians.
    Luckily, I took a screenshot of the original article.

  16. In regards to my above comment.
    The CBC took down the original Reuters article and replaced it with an Associated Press article.
    However, they took this out of the AP article,
    ” Turkey is one of only a few Muslim countries not to ban homosexuality, although homophobia remains widespread. ”

    “Greece crisis: Bank Under the Bed becomes last hope for many as ATMs run dry
    As EU finance chiefs pull plug on bail-out, panicking Greeks empty ATMs amid fear of banking collapse”
    “… with confidence in Greek financial institutions at an historic low, the “Bank Under the Bed” is about the only one doing well at the moment. Since Mr Tsipras’s government was elected on its radical, anti-austerity ticket back in January, anxious Greeks have withdrawn an estimated €30bn in savings accounts, adding to the general sense of a 1930s-style meltdown.”
