  1. I liked how this was used as the closing music to the last episode of Breaking Bad.

  2. Re: Sheep being butchered by naked protesters.
    I didn’t get the drift!!
    Auschwitz-Birkenau is in Poland! Not Ukraine! The media and other souces always use photos of that particular camp (Birkenau) to describe Auschwitz when in fact there were 3 camps in that area. Auschwitz I (the original camp), Auschwitz II–Birkenau (a combination concentration/extermination camp), Auschwitz III–Monowitz (a labor camp to staff an IG Farben factory), and 45 satellite camps.
    I can partly understand the nudity, however the sheep has me baffled. A letter to the editor of the Saturday edition of USA Today would have been more effective.

  3. “Auschwitz-Birkenau is in Poland! Not Ukraine! ”
    Congratulations you’re today’s winner of the coveted: “No $hit Sherlock” award.

  4. Read the article Einstein!!
    ”Unconfirmed local media reports said the incident was intended as a protest against the armed conflict in Ukraine.”
    I could understand if the issue involved Jewish people! WTF has killing sheep in the nude in an extermination camp in Poland have to do with an armed conflict in Ukraine?
    I await your answer patiently!

  5. While were on the topic of unconfirmed genius!
    Vincent Van Gogh, past and present, was diagnosed as insane, alcoholic, bi-polar along with allegedly having suffered from syphilis, dementia, and poor vision that could account for his style of art.
    Don McLean spells it out in this song. For your enjoyment on this clear starry night.

  6. Re: That comment was from me, not sure why it was recorded as “c”.
    Because that’s how you typed it out, Sherlock.
    My Dad always told me that whenever someone humiliates you publicly, (Ex: Colonialista,) at a meeting, party, gathering etc. or in this case on a blog site, within a few minutes they’ll usually confirm their ignorance.
    God Bless my late Dad.

  7. “I await your answer patiently!”
    You must be comprehension impaired. Try to read the linked article slowly and then try to understand my comment. Maybe after that you could figure out by yourself why asking me the above question is, to put it mildly, not really the smartest thing to do.
    “My Dad always told me that whenever someone humiliates you … ”
    I did not humiliate you. You humiliated yourself, it happens often to those whose IQ and shoe size can be measured comfortably on the same scale.

  8. Hosni Mubarak, out of custody:
    “Egypt’s former dictator Hosni Mubarak has left the Cairo military hospital where he had been held in custody for much of the past six years, and returned to his home in the Cairo suburb of Heliopolis, his lawyer said.
    Mubarak, 88, was acquitted by Egypt’s highest appeals court on 2 March of conspiring to kill protesters in the final verdict in a long-running case that originally resulted in him being sentenced to life in prison in 2012 over the deaths of 239 people in Arab spring protests against his rule. A separate corruption charge was overturned in January 2015.”

  9. Ontario’s Premier Wynne is tanking in the polls but fear not, she announced she is not going anywhere, she is staying on for the people of Ontario! No surprise really, she lives in her own bubble. Her arrogance is really astounding, she’ll stay on if the people say so. We have to hope they will send her packing, if not Ontario can be tagged the brain dead capital of Canada.

  10. This week, Variety magazine announced that it would honor former first daughter Chelsea Clinton at its Women in Power luncheon with a “Lifetime achievement award.”
    So many things, where to start?
    Former first daughter … is she no longer a daughter? … no longer Chelsea Clinton?
    Women in Power … what power has she ever exercised?
    Lifetime award … a la Obomber’s peace prize?

  11. ‘Canada’s Largest School System Cancels All Trips to USA,
    Fearful of Travel Ban.’
    Sooooo,
    A group of school kids from Canada with Chaperons,
    gets arrested for looking at an American Bridge, Nuclear Power Plant, Airport Terminal, or being a Muslim or Hispanic.
    NY Times would make that a bigger news story than a Terrorist Bomb in the White House.

    Are all Canadian Educators this frigging stupid ?????

  12. We’ve had a Liberal government here in BC for what seems like forever. Sooooo…. that means we get all the standard side effects of liberals in power too.
    Last week, Premier Christy Clark heard the four letters that every politician dreads: RCMP.

    Only five days after announcing its investigation into lobbyists who may have had personal donations to the BC Liberals and NDP reimbursed by unknown third-parties, Elections B.C. called in the cops.

  13. Chelsea Clinton at its Women in Power luncheon with a “Lifetime achievement award.”
    Chelsea Clintons list of Achievements-
    She washed Hillary Clinton’s dishes.
    She laundry Hillary Clinton’s girlfriends panties.
    She carried Hillary Clinton’s girlfriends cell phone.
    She lost Hillary Clinton’s girlfriends cell phone.
    She carried Bill Clinton’s girlfriends cell phone.
    She carried Bill Clinton after a trip to his girlfriends.
    Her travel allowance is 40 million dollars.
    Her monthly allowance is 10 million dollars.
    The girl is a walking achievement.

  14. “Are all Canadian Educators this frigging stupid ?????”
    Yes.
    If the students are citizens of Canada there should be no problem. If they are citizens of a Godless Middle Eastern shithole and have a US visa there should be no problem. Note that most civilized countries require visas from citizens of Godless Middle Eastern shitholes.
    The teachers are thinking too much and it is clearly beyond their capability.

  16. But doesn’t the Charter of Rights allow Muslims to kill their slutty daughters and dress their wives in potato sacks? The real racists are the whities that criticize such behavior. Not ny opinion – my observation.

  17. No, but most are, and the ones in charge are part of that majority. You get what you put up with. The quality of elected officials reflects the electorate, and the education establishment has directed its efforts over a very long time to training the electorate to put us with this.

  18. Are all Canadian Educators this frigging stupid ?????
    To echo the earlier comment from TheTooner, not everyone in the system is.
    I spent many years both as a student and as an educator myself. I’ve encountered some really good people who were both talented and of good character, though there were more who were one or the other.
    There were a few who were neither and were content to simply go with the flow, having few convictions or opinions about anything. If they did, they simply parroted what their administrators told them to say.
    Then there were some who were complete blithering idiots and, unfortunately, many of them became administrators.
    If this reminds you of a bureaucracy, you’re right. That’s what the educational system is nowadays. It’s a bureaucracy that has long abandoned the principles upon which it was founded and exists only because it can.

  19. http://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/trump-exposes-hypocrisies-1.4034658
    oh my this one is a beauty, leftist heads exploding in the CBC comments
    But neither his bluster, nor even necessarily the content of his policies, explain such strident opposition to America’s 45th president. Instead, it may be that, in Trump, critics and the media see their own failings and hypocrisies laid bare — a twist of the knife that generates opposition more fervent than a President Cruz or Rubio might’ve encountered.

  20. This didn’t get much attention, but it should have. For this reason
    “Mosque should apologize, says Muslim council
    “The president of the Muslim Council of Montreal, Salam Elmenyawi, wants to know why the imam was invited. He says the mosque should apologize”
    Nobody said anything until the subject was brought up three days later by B’nai Brith, so that tells me that it was okay with the local muslim audience until somebody noticed.
    Comments closed of course.

    According to the newspaper El Nacional, one-third of Venezuela’s 24 states – Miranda, Aragua, Lara, Barinas, Anzoátegui, Nueva Esparta, Bolívar, and Monagas – have reported significant shortages in gasoline for sale in stations throughout their cities. Hundreds of cars have been stranded on long lines at gas stations or in the middle of streets on their way to gas stations, distorting traffic flows and generally preventing city traffic from flowing smoothly.”

  22. The Canadian House of Commons has passed a motion M103 which singles out the criticism of Islam as a form of “Islamophobia”.
    Critics condemn it as an attack on free speech.

  23. So, much like Spud, what exactly has she achieved in her life that is noteworthy of high recognition? Being born with a last name? What is it with the left with a last name, Kennedy, Turdeau, Clinton, Obammer…..is it the need to be led, and not to think? These people are embarrassing, in their need to follow empty suits

  24. Yes, our leftwing, preening, virtue signalling school boards really are that stupid and narrow minded. All because, a handful of their muzzie students -might- have a problem crossing the border, so all students have to pay for it.
    No word if parents have cancelled their spring break or summer plans to visit Disneyworld or Disneyland, somehow I think that those trips will carry on, business as usual.
    Just more lefty preening, jousting at windmills.
    These foreign school trips though, are just another example of “non-education” that our “education” systems promote, with little return in value, other than an excuse for time away from the 3 Rs. Without diving into the whole issue of public education, and its rot, suffice to say, the wife and I have promised our adult kids to assist them, in putting their future offspring into private schools, to avoid the idiocy, lefty social warrior, green, aboriginal heavy education so prevalent in the BC school system. It really is a next to useless education, the graduation requirements are third world.

  25. It really is a next to useless education, the graduation requirements are third world.
    Unfortunately, that’s been going on for many years. I noticed that soon after I started my post-secondary teaching position in the late 1980s. Many of my students were fresh out of high school and they displayed a staggering lack of knowledge in basic subjects such as algebra and trigonometry.
    I estimate that I often spent around a quarter of my lecture time reviewing or even actually teaching material that they should have known before they even started my courses. None of that was in my job description, let alone the course outlines.
    Whenever I brought up the issue with administrators, the response was usually a shrug or a comment along the lines of I had to work with whatever I was given. I wasn’t the only one with such concerns, by the way.

  26. Just a reminder that tonight is Earth Hour. So folks, turn on those lights and gentlemen, start your engines.

  27. While the vast majority of Canadians were spending their Christmas holiday with their family and loved ones, Justin Trudeau was spending $125,000 of our hard earned tax dollars visiting his Muslim mentor on a private island in the Bahamas. Not only was this a clear violation of Parliamentary rules but this holiday on the taxpayer’s dime spewed as much CO2 as the average Canadian’s activities create in a year, and now he wants to tax us for that too. This drama teacher is a disgraceful hypocrite, and does not deserve to be the Prime Minister.

  28. “Venezuela: socialism’s end result.”
    Good they deserve it. Elections have consequences. I pity those who opposed commies, I hope they will survive, as for the rest I hope they starve, I hope they hunt each others’ children for food. They wanted to enjoy life by taking from their betters. Now there is nothing left to take. You just run out of other peoples’ money. Go eat each other now.

  29. At 830pm Saturday night, run your chainsaws, lawnmowers, pressure washers, the F350 and turn all your lights on. Mother Gaia needs a good dose of CO2 fir her trees and shrubs

  30. It’s gotten worse, my friend. My oldest graduated 2 years ago. They now only need 1 Grade 12 course. They can skip everything else, most of their credits are earned in Grade 10. Think about that for a second. The majority of high school kids are undereducated, but they are well trained for their career at Costco, Saveon, the pubs serving drinks, and the wrecking yard. The government has allowed this to happen, in the mistaken and misguided desire to have more kids “graduate”. But hey, don’t want them to be literate in math or the sciences, those are nerdy. Better they be educated in apocalyptic climate change and ABCDEFG activism. The Rent a protestor career field is a growth area!

    I often encounter that when I go to a store. For example, I might pay for my purchase with a certain bill and I make jokes about which PM is on it, such as Macdonald and his boozing.
    I’m rarely surprised when I get blank looks. They may know the name but they really can’t say much about what he did. The shocking part is that they might be eligible to vote in an election. (No wonder PM Shiny Cardboard Cutout won, eh?)
    Situations like that convince me that, maybe, citizenship should be earned and not automatically bestowed.

  33. Re: High IQ.
    Is there a correlation between shoe size and the ability to type in a word?
    Especially when it’s your own name??

  34. citizenship should be earned and not automatically bestowed.
    Having gone through the immigration and citizenship process I agree completely.
    Upon reaching the age of legal adulthood, a person should have to apply for certified citizenship if they wish to work for the government, apply for a passport, vote, or be elected to public office.
    Citizenship should be a privilege not an accident of birth.

  35. To tell you the truth I have no idea. You should know though, after all you spell “retard” as “Jordan Rivers”
