  1. Lit her up for earth hour.
    Now I’m gonna fire up the wood stove and burn some fossil fuel.

  2. watching ‘Dark Knight’ right now. Ledger had some of the nasty/funniest lines in film.
    CIA ‘Skyhook’ was mentioned:
    https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/2012-featured-story-archive/skyhook.html
    too bad they went into the business of assassinating foreign leaders who rubbed various international corporations the wrong way instead of merely *reporting* on the goings on ie the ‘intelligence’ part of the name.
    I once left a phone message with them pondering that very issue and mentioning their better know failures.

  3. Some of these eco-freaks says the human should go extinct becuase they claim were a cancer on the earth well the real pluague on the earth is enviroemntalism

  4. Ditto here.
    Now that we live in town I noticed that the two streets I can see from our windows did not look any different light wise than any other evening. No misguided earth muffins here.

  5. Finally I can pack up my Christmas lights, I kept them out just for this occasion.

  6. I haven’t looked at the clip, my Lady, but Dr. Zubrin (whom I’ve met) doesn’t have a great reputation in the space community…
    After watching people and their pets, my professional and unbiased alien opinion is that humans aren’t the dominant species anyway!!!

  10. I do understand that we can’t make another environment the way it was in 1700 when missionaries arrived here to educate ”Les Sauvages” as the Catholic church.

  11. Re: Earth Hour. That’s funny!! The most outrageous are people who sit in the dark with their electrics lights shut off, while burning candles and believing that they’re ”saving the planet.”

  12. I missed earth hour. I am not sure it got that much publicity in comparison to other years. Usually I like to turn on all my lights. Missed the chance this year.

  13. Funny is it not to have the Liberal Prime Minister appoint 7 people to the Senate and little to nothing is being made of it in the media. If this is being done as a shield for the upcoming budget it’s not working.
    It’s also proof the Senate is of no real interest among the media hacks when Liberals do the appointing.
    No one cares a rat’s bum about the outcome of the Duffy circus trial either, the circus shut down when the Harper and his Conservatives were replaced with the Liberal Cabal.

  15. well shyt. I missed it too. when was it? Ive missed every one of them so far. and it ain’t looking good for future observations. regarding electricity consumption, I reminded my tenants Im on a fixed rate contract (which is in the ‘payback’ period now, ie lower than the usurious rates ms wynned farm has ‘produced’), therefore feel free to do laundry any time during waking hours any day of the week. the duuuhh, smert meters have NO effect on the rate I pay.

    Cuban President Raul Castro pinned the medal, known as the Order of Jose Marti, on Maduro in a show a solidarity between socialist allies that have stood together against the United States since Maduro’s predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez, came to power in 1999.
    Maduro paid repeated homage to Chavez and former Cuban leader Fidel Castro,…”

  17. I don’t remember Butts Hour being popular where I live. Over the years, I noticed fewer people switching off their lights each time.
    After I found out who was really behind it, I stopped observing it myself. During that time last night, I watched a movie and at least had some decent entertainment. It’s better than sitting in the dark and wondering how much longer I have to put up with it.

  18. My parents–and now just my father–noticed that too once they started having dogs as pets. They wondered who was really in charge: them or the critters.

  19. I was an active shortwave listener during much of the 1980s. One station that I often heard was Radio Havana. It was hard to miss because it not only put a strong signal into western Canada, it often interfered with adjacent frequencies, such as those carrying the BBC World Service.
    I remember when, as part of its sign-on announcement, it claimed it was broadcasting from “Cuba, free territory of America”.

  20. Fidel refuses to meet zero? Hahahaha
    Hey maybe bongo can help? He’s buddies with fidel. Zero calls bongo and asks for an intervention……it’s what good networking is all about.
    Too far fetched?

  21. I see where Sheldon Whitehouse wants global warming skeptics silenced it seems like most liberal demic-RATS he has forgoten his oath to Uphold,Protect and Defend the Constitution of the United States Might i suggest he leave america and he can take that David Suzuki idiot with him along with Robert Kennedy Jr and his Water Keepers idiots with their stupid fish logo

    “Europe got Muslims for Jews”
    “The truth must be told! All European life died in Auschwitz
    By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez*
    I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz.
    We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, and talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.”
