Hello. It is Christmas time, and Bjork is sitting there by her TV; she has been watching it very much lately, because she’s on holiday, and she’s been seeing all those programs about all sorts of things…
Warning: Bjork is a highly-trained electronics technician, as you’ll see, so please don’t try this at home.

  5. The Cult of Magic is very good.
    I like this comment in the link.
    ‘It is increasingly obvious that Progressives are post-Christians who cracked the flywheel of his civilization, retaining an evangelical belief in man’s perfection without going to the trouble of learning his restrictions. A half Muslim is an improvement over a Muslim; a half-Christian is a great deal worse’

  7. Geez, I found myself going “NO! DON’T TOUCH THE …” as she’s fiddling around with the back of the CRT. A buddy of mine was lucky, only getting thrown halfway across the room when he touched that cap (after the TV had been unplugged for a week). 25000 Volts is nothing to be messing with.

  8. LoL! Loved it! I met her briefly when I was in Reykjavik and she is a very sweet lady. She is a big believer in freedom and is truly an unaffected and free spirited person. She also defies aging! She is at least 50 but looks 20 years younger! If you have never been to Iceland you must go. Wonderful country!

    “Morocco postpones opening of world’s largest solar power project
    No explanation given as inauguration of the Noor-1 plant – the first part of a massive new complex – in Ouarzazate is unexpectedly called off”
    “Morocco has postponed without explanation the inauguration of Noor-1, a solar power plant due to open Sunday in Ouarzazate, part of what will eventually be the world’s largest solar power production facility.
    When asked by AFP, the communications agency that organised the inauguration on behalf of Moroccan solar energy agency Masen gave no reasons for the last-minute delay.”

    “Desert tower raises Chile’s solar power ambition to new heights
    Towering 200 metres above the desert, the Atacama 1 will harvest the sun’s energy from a surrounding field of giant mirrors. But the completion of the $1.1bn project, the first of its kind in Latin America, has been thrown into doubt by the financial difficulties of its Spanish owner
    Still under construction, the Atacama 1 Concentrated Solar Power plant is a symbol of the shift from dirty fossil fuels to a cleaner, smarter way to generate electricity in Chile which is leading the charge for solar in Latin America thanks to its expanses of wilderness and some of the most intense sunlight on Earth.”

  13. Don’t believe anything you read in the Winnipeg Free Press, a total rag.
    They are in the tank for the Liberals, they hate all conservatives.
    Shills all of them. Also the Winnipeg Sun has more content.

  14. Not ready for prime time. Where did I hear that before? Unfortunately too many “progressives” are too much into their “magical thinking” to notice how incompetent he is.

  16. She said one thing very much worth noting. To paraphrase: Don’t swallow everything you see on tv.
    Ed: me too. Those gizmos can make you permanently dead.

    ….Top 10 Good Things…
    1. We didn’t hear that much about Honey Boo Boo.
    …we’ll have to get back to you on Good Things 2 through 10….
    …pressing issue — which will be debated for years to come….New England Patriots’ footballs get deflated for the AFC championship game….
    In Paris…..horrific terrorist attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo….Eyebrows are raised when,,,,,,,, several days later, Secretary of State John Kerry arrives in France with James Taylor, who — this really happened — performs the song You’ve Got a Friend. This bold action strikes fear into the hearts of terrorists, who realize that Secretary Kerry is fully capable, if necessary, of unleashing Barry Manilow.
    Of course there is more and more.
    Not making this up.

  20. “Liberals won’t hold referendum on voting reform:
    Mr. LeBlanc, who has previously said that one party with a majority should not be able to rewrite the rules for everybody else, said the government sees “Parliament taking it responsibility and having a committee travel across the country and then having a debate in Parliament.”
    It will be important to obtain a number of perspectives during the consultation process, he said, “from the status quo to an extreme, which would be perhaps proportional representation, and anything in between we think is worthy of being looked at.”
    Yes, let’s continue to experiment with Canada. More wind turbines instead of oil rigs, collectives instead of family farms. Grievances instead of loyalty. Chasing climate change instead of terrorists. Big government instead of good government.
    Who needs realism when self-interested idealism works best? Fine 50% +1 it is for the next election. The silly statists will surely provide much grist for this mill, assuming the socialists haven’t unionized it.

    “Joe Oliver: Ontario’s fiscal train wreck”
    “Ontario is the largest sub-national debtor in the entire world
    Ontario’s deteriorating fiscal situation is an overarching problem for the province, as well as a cautionary tale for the federal government, it’s new BFF. Right-wing ideology or partisan politics have nothing to do with the irrefutable conclusion that Ontario is in fiscal trouble. This is a challenge for the country as a whole, since Canada cannot reach its potential when its biggest province is languishing and too many other provinces are following the same path of fiscal imprudence.”
