  1. I watched Joe Walsh perform that song live on stage when the Eagles were in Calgary’s McMahon Stadium in July 1978. That was one fun evening!

  2. Bret Stephens: Conservative commentary enters the idiot cycle: “It shouldn’t be a surprise that a post-literate conservative world should have been so quick to embrace a semi-literate presidential candidate”

    Progressives should be licking their chops. Their main opposition is self-destructing. Then again when Bill Buckley is your intellectual paragon, you aren’t a very good opposition.

  3. The liberal commentary has always been in the idiot cycle. That plus their penchant for trying to burn down buildings where a speaker they don’t like is to appear renders then somewhat less than knights in shining armour.

  4. My Dad owned a garage where I spent an good part of my life, before I went farming. Thanks to the feminist movement, ”girlie” calendars are slowly disappearing from the back shops of North America. I had a flat tire last week when I was driving through a small town in SW Sask. I was quite surprised to find such a calendar in a tire shop. Enjoy the song. This was originally recorded on a Scopitone, a 1960’s European jukebox that had both audio and and video capabilities, such as this Neil Sedaka classic.

  5. I was quite surprised to find such a calendar in a tire shop.
    I used to send my father cheesecake calendars as birthday gifts. A few of them went up on the walls of his backyard garage and they’re still there now that he’s gone. I’ll have something to look at when it comes time to clearing it out as part of settling his estate, thereby making an arduous task somewhat more bearable.

  6. So, it’s the Supreme Court and their interpretation of rights as dictated by the Charter that is to blame for rewarding Khadr with millions? The Court has decided he was a victim of injustice when all he did was fight against our allies and kill a US medic for which he spent time in Gitmo? Have I got that straight or am I missing something here?
    If ever there was a case for elected Supreme Court judges this is it.

  7. I am going to assume that all those Katholiks were consenting adults, as opposed to the boys and girls raped.by public school teachers every day?

  9. For some reason, the National Post gets most of its Trump commentary from the New York Times or WaPo. Those are not reliable, objective sources regarding Trump. This is contrary to the Post often striving for balance. Not when it comes to Trump. Most Canadian news sources are the same. As a result, Canadians are badly misinformed about Trump’s governance. I rely on Drudge to get informative links.

  10. Where the UN tells us to spend, we spend. They are also the ones determining what our refugee quotas will be and presumably “vetting” (cough, cough!) on our behalf. It is time that Canadians realized that the UN is not our friend!

  11. Is anyone else having trouble loading up second pages in threads with over 50 posts?
    I can’t load the Oh, Shiny Prime Minister thread’s second page. Just looks like it’s perpetually trying.
    Thanks

  12. Joe Walsh once said,”If I knew I would have to sing this song everyday for the rest of my life when I wrote it…I might not have written it.” A classic line.

  14. Woah. Cat is out of the bag. Canada is directly involved in implementing Agenda 2030 (that’s global communism,one world government for anyone who cares to look into it.) From the PMO:
    “Leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to achieving the sustainable development goals under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In support of these goals, Prime Minister Trudeau highlighted Canada’s recently launched Feminist International Assistance Policy, which focuses assistance on the poorest and most vulnerable.”
    Trump is the only hope for avoiding this. The Sustainable Development Goals sound very nice, but they will be implemented via totalitarianism,as has always happened with Communist “utopias”.
    Anyone who dismisses this as a conspiracy, it is. Think they are going to be up front about their plans? The individual will he sacrificed in favor of the collective. Unfortunately, it is already happening everywhere.

  15. I tried doing that on 3 different machines with 3 different operating systems. The result was the same. The website simply idles when I want to read the 50+-th posting.

  16. Wonder what constitutes treason anymore in Canada? Do the Supreme Court judges know?
    If there is such a thing here anymore why would the Khadr family not fit that description? The Sire of Canada’s poster boy for how to get rich by fighting against your country certainly would qualify.

  17. Getting back to Joe Walsh, it turns out that he’s a radio amateur. His callsign is WB6ACU.
    One story I heard about him was that his abilities as a rock guitarist was credited in part to his being a ham. It was through that he learned about amplifiers and what he could do with them.

  18. This is the first time I haven’t been able to get to the page. They should just up the single page number to 75 or 100.

  20. Same problem here. Used to work ok,so I think it must just be an adjustment needed. Since 50+ comments only appear on topics where there is a lot of interest, it would be nice to get this fixed.

  21. Since such pages idle, it seems like it might be a script that got itself into an infinite loop. Maybe it can be resolved with a simple bug fix.

  22. “I rely on Drudge to get informative links. ”
    *Cue hysterical laughter*
    Someone above mentioned electing supreme court justices. That is a terrible idea. We have too much democracy as is. The point of the SC is that it doesn’t bend to the will of the idiot masses.

  23. What god does Trump worship, again? No doubt 3D chess, or something…

    Trump Administration Threatens Teachers to Use Transgender Pronouns or Else
    Even on the campaign trail, Donald Trump joined liberal celebrities in piling on North Carolina for passing a law that forbid men in women’s restrooms. The negativity Trump helped fuel there led to the law’s partial repeal and the Republicans to lose the governorship.
    And it is the Trump Defense Department that has continued forcing the Army to conduct “transgender sensitivity training” as part of their military preparation.

  24. The left summed up beautifully there Unome. The people are idiots and only a cabal of elite leftists know what’s best.

    “Michael Mann is an unrepentant and belligerent Technocrat who deceived the whole world with his so-called ‘hockey stick’ temperature model.

    “Inventor Of Fraudulent Temperature ‘Hockey Stick’ Is Humiliated In Canadian Court”
    “Penn State climate scientist, Michael ‘hockey stick’ Mann commits contempt of court in the ‘climate science trial of the century.’ Prominent alarmist shockingly defies judge and refuses to surrender data for open court examination. Only possible outcome: Mann’s humiliation, defeat and likely criminal investigation in the U.S.
    The defendant in the libel trial, the 79-year-old Canadian climatologist, Dr Tim Ball (above, right) is expected to instruct his British Columbia attorneys to trigger mandatory punitive court sanctions, including a ruling that Mann did act with criminal intent when using public funds to commit climate data fraud. Mann’s imminent defeat is set to send shock waves worldwide within the climate science community as the outcome will be both a legal and scientific vindication of U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims that climate scare stories are a “hoax.”
    As can be seen from the graphs below; Mann’s cherry-picked version of science makes the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) disappear and shows a pronounced upward ‘tick’ in the late 20th century (the blade of his ‘hockey stick’). But below that, Ball’s graph, using more reliable and widely available public data, shows a much warmer MWP, with temperatures hotter than today, and showing current temperatures well within natural variation.”

  28. Sorry to hear about your Dad. God bless his soul. I know the feeling of cleaning the old shop out for the last time. .

  29. Thanks. I inherited his estate and that includes the nightmare of the inside of the garage. There’s so much stuff that I’ll be likely sorting through it a year from now.

  31. Yes, I’ve been having that problem for two days now. Not an IT guy, so beats me.

  32. Thanks for the feedback and confirmation that it’s not just me experiencing this issue.
    Seeing a few more comments on the tally (now up to 63) begs the question; Is it just us or, given that one can reply from the first page, is this effecting everyone?

  33. I can’t believe there’s still a place called “Squaw Valley” in politically correct California.
    “Indigenous Female Valley” doesn’t quite do it.
