  1. The wrest wasnt won with a registered broom
    the whole place is a looney bin, been there , done that got a teeshirt. at the Church of the Holy Sepulcer there is a ladder that has been standing by a window for about 150 years because of a jurisdictinal fight over who can clean the window.

  9. I can’t believe that the Monty Python crew haven’t gotten ahold of this for one of their movies.

  13. Peace on Earth and good will to men. We will have to wait for the big bright flash first though. If the clergy can’t even get along, what hope is there for their followers ?
    And EBD…..proof that not every life is precious.

  16. EBD @11:07 – how nice for his children. I’m sure this won’t mess them up or anything. Now Kate Moss doesn’t have any t*ts, so I don’t really see what the big deal is.

  18. Can MK Cemetery oust PET Cemetery?

  19. Girl, 14, sees father bleed to death after accidentally slicing his neck open with a chainsaw two days before Christmas

    This story displays the misandry inherent in the system. In a nutshell the article is about a horrible accident in which a man killed himself and how horrible it was for a girl who had to witness it. Most of the comments are along the line of “poor girl, how horrible that she had to see such a thing”!! No such concern for how horrible it must be to accidentally cut your head off with a chain saw. Just as annoying is that the spell checker on this computer doesn’t recognise misandry as a word.

    …America is not the embodiment of hope, but the abandonment of one kind of hope in return for another. America embodies the spirit of creative destruction, selecting immigrants willing to turn their back on the tragedy of their own failing culture in return for a new start. Its creative success is so enormous that its global influence hastens the decline of other cultures. For those on the destruction side of the trade, America is a monster. Now China has become an agent of creative destruction as well, the consequence of its partial adoption of the American model. China indirectly brought about the so-called Arab Spring, by driving up world grain prices and pricing the Arab poor out of the world market for food. Chinese pigs will eat before Arab peasants; food insecurity (if not actual starvation) undermined the Arab dictatorships.
    Iranian resentment is understandable. They recall the Brontosaurus in an old Far Side cartoon, standing at the dais addressing an auditorium full of dinosaurs: “The climate is changing, our food supply is dwindling, and we have a brain the size of a peanut. I’d say we’re in trouble.” Islam is a religion of traditional society, of iron constraints and unquestioned hierarchies. By teaching Iranian girls to read, the late Shah set off a cultural chain-reaction: fertility has fallen from 7 children per female a generation ago to just 1.5 today, a catastrophic decline unparalleled in demographic history. And mosque attendance is down to only 2% by some estimates. Creative destruction has burst in upon Iran and turned its society inside-out. The mullahs still have all the money in Iran’s hydrocarbon monoculture, and almost all the guns, and they will do anything necessary to turn the clock back. Their world is disappearing in front of their eyes. They have nothing to lose.
    Of course, the mullahs would have nothing without the global economy; after oil, Iran exports nothing but pistachios and carpets. Without foreign oil companies, the mullahs could not drill, pump, or ship their hydrocarbons. The whole apparatus of Iranian Islam is a theme park, an Shi’ite Disneyland funded by oil revenues, perpetuating a barbaric society that could not feed itself without global demand for the natural resources that, by unlucky accident, happen to be located in Iranian territory.
    Mullah Paul voices the same fear and resentment in its milder American form. He has in common with the Iranians a desire to make the world go away, and a fixed idea that an evil conspiracy brought about all the problems. Ron Paul isn’t an Iranian, to be sure; he’s just the closest an American can come to thinking like an Iranian without actually moving there….

  22. Niall Ferguson on the “six killer apps” of prosperity in the West, in which he makes the case that imperialism can’t be blamed for “the great divergence” between the West and the rest of the world — but, rather, makes a case for prosperity in the West being attributable to “laws and rules invented by reason [Ibrahim Muteferrika in Rational Bases for the Politics of Nations, 1731].”
    He further quotes Muteferrika: “Why do Christian nations which were so weak in the past compared with Muslim nations begin to dominate so many lands in modern times and even defeat the once victorious Ottoman armies?” Muteferrika’s answer to his own question? Because they have laws and rules invented by reason.

  27. Follow up to my comment @ 10:52 A.M.:
    Question: Why do Christian nations, which were until recently so strong, begin to weaken and lag from within and in their influence in the world?
    Answer: Because they have declined to honour and enforce “the laws and rules invented by reason” — that is, laws and rules based on Judeo-Christian values — which once made them the powerful force for good they once were in the world. They have exchanged their laws and rules based on reason for the lie of multiculturalism and gotcha politics.
    It’s a myth that Christianity and reason are mutually exclusive.

  28. @ batb
    Well put. Not only Christianity has been under attack constantly but also the values attached to it. Except for a few enclaves we are a ship without a rudder.

  30. Woops, the above post has been proven incorrect within 10 minutes of my looking into it. Please disregard 🙂

    That Ibrahim was one smart muteferrika. Too bad his homies didn’t pay enough attention to what he said! Too bad our homies are forgetting it too!

  32. LOL, felis corpulentis! You’re one smart muteferrika! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year — and love to Darcy.

    “Tax Cuts, Less-Intrusive Gov’t Help Canada Soar”
    “Success: Away from the low growth and high regulation of an America under Washington’s thumb, our northern neighbor is economically strong. As 2011 ends, Canada has announced yet another tax cut — and will soar even more.
    The Obama administration and its economic czars have flailed about for years, baffled about how to get the U.S. economy growing.
    In reality, the president need look no further than our neighbor, Canada, whose solid growth is the product of tax cuts, fiscal discipline, free trade, and energy development. That’s made Canada a roaring puma nation, while its supposedly more powerful southern neighbor stands on the outside looking in.
    On Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced that he will slash corporate taxes again on Jan. 1 in the final stage of his Economic Action Plan, dropping the federal business tax burden to just 15%.
    Along with fresh tax cuts in provinces such as Alberta, total taxes for businesses in Canada will drop to 25%, one of the lowest in the G7, and below the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development average.”

  35. Is this one of our dreams coming true…the downsizing of the CBC!
    “I think those institutions that have broad-based support, who have brought in the private sector, who have an approach to business that doesn’t just entirely depend on taxpayers’ money, are the institutions that are going to be the strongest,” Moore told Postmedia News in a year-end interview.
    “But I think those organizations that have been stagnant in the way in which they’ve built themselves are organizations that are not going to have a very happy future.”
