  1. George Zimmerman Not Guilty!
    I feel bad about Trayvon Martin. I do not relish his death and I feel bad for his parents. But convicting Zimmerman would have been very wrong given what happened. This remains a tragedy, but a conviction would have been a travesty.

    calgarystreetchurch denied entry to stampede parade….probably saved a riot from happening with all the drunk’s in town wanting to attack them.

  3. Re: The Pogues
    Sorry EBD, but for some reason, I see Statler and Waldorf of the Muppets in the balcony.

  4. I think this is the same group that regularly feeds people in front of Calgary City Hall each week. City Hall has issues with them, they give food away, tell folks they’re loved unconditionally, talk to them as though they were actual humans.
    I can see why the current City Hall doesn’t like them.
    A similar group was singing down the street from there yesterday at 4 pm … on the main C-train line, 7th ave & about 1st street. They sounded at least as happy as those others wandering around aimlessly until dawn, but they don’t usually puke on anyone.

  5. After first pointing the finger at a team of local firefighters and then an almost-certainly-nonexistent band of unknown saboteurs – on Wednesday the owner of the train that destroyed half of Lac-Mégantic, Que., laid the blame squarely on the train’s engineer.
    “It’s very questionable whether the handbrakes were properly applied on this train,” Edward Burkhardt, the chairman of Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway, told a crowd of angry townspeople on Wednesday. “As a matter of fact, I’ll say they weren’t or else we wouldn’t have had this incident.”

  6. Edward Burkhardt is lying through his teeth. Air pressure is applied to both the hand brakes and car brakes to keep the brakes OFF!! If there is any fall in pressure,then the brakes APPLY. A train sitting idle,with an engine(s) running and air pressure up,is not moving simply because the engines are keeping it in place.Air pressure must be applied to release the brakes.It is a fail-safe system.A train with 5 engines and over 200 cars moving at 60 mph is doing so because the engineer has applied power to the engines to move the damn thing. If for any reason,there is a lose of power in even one engine,the air drops and the brakes,on all cars,start locking up.Yes,it will take 70 seconds to stop that much tonnage moving at that speed,but it cannot start moving on its own.
    Another point.On any CNR/CPR train carrying even one car with dangerous goods,there are 2 engineers,and at least 1 conductor.And no CNR/CPR engineer would park his/her train on a hill!!

    Maybe your toe needs removal,
    no wait, maybe your foot,
    no wait, maybe your leg and foot,
    no wait, maybe your other leg and foot,”
    Sheeesh!

  8. Ughly, Kemo Sabay?
    MSM says it’s due to c****te c****e’s exponential attributive frequency curve growth.
    “Still, as fears grow that climate change will increase the frequency of catastrophic floods, the government on Sunday is expected to announce a future flood prevention and disaster recovery plan.”

  9. “The dirty secret of Britain’s power madness:
    Polluting diesel generators built in secret by foreign companies to kick in when there’s no wind for turbines – and other insane but true eco-scandals”
    “Moving to wind power is expected to cost £1 billion a year by 2015
    Official figures on the size of the green economy are extremely misleading
    They exaggerate the worth of the sector by up to 700 per cent”
