…with this example of “committing journalism“:

Sun and Wind Alter Global Landscape, Leaving Utilities Behind
Of all the developed nations, few have pushed harder than Germany to find a solution to global warming. And towering symbols of that drive are appearing in the middle of the North Sea…
Electric utility executives all over the world are watching nervously as technologies they once dismissed as irrelevant begin to threaten their long-established business plans…
A reckoning is at hand, and nowhere is that clearer than in Germany. Even as the country sets records nearly every month for renewable power production, the changes have devastated its utility companies, whose profits from power generation have collapsed…
The Achilles’ heel of renewable power is that it is intermittent, so German utilities have had to dial their conventional power plants up and down rapidly to compensate…
In fact, the problems with the energiewende (pronounced in-ur-GEE-vend-uh) have multiplied so rapidly in the past couple of years that the government is now trying to slow down the transition…

Guess how far down the “news” story those final two paragraphs are.

Mark Steyn:

I was overseas when Obama gave his momentous Isis address, but figured I could pretty much guess how things would go. Despite being the greatest orator of the last thousand years…

In all honesty one must go with the GröFaz, though that he definitively turned out not to be that, for the orator gig. At least within memory of thousand year realms. Please no Godwin’s Law responses.

Coming out in favour of bloated, intrusive, debt-ridden big government:

“(Federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver) should be working alongside Premier (Kathleen) Wynne to build a plan to help Ontario proper. Instead, what does he do? When she put out a budget focused on jobs and growth, he attacked it as a ‘route to economic decline.'”

Golly, I wonder what Trudeau II’s economic policies for the rest of Canada would be if he were to become PM.

Today, we learn that mathematical logic is oppressive…

…and that when it comes to certain topics it’s never too early to start:

A D.C. public school gave a sixth grade class a homework assignment that required students to draw comparisons between former President George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler.

From the assignment:

Now that we have read about two men of power who abused their power in various ways, we will compare and contrast them and their actions…

Meanwhile,

White House press release: “Saudi Arabia has extensive border with Syria.”

It’s all good.

Thomas Mulcair on the Trudeau Liberals’ slogan “Getting ready to lead”:

“Yeah, right. Getting ready for what? I’m sorry, prime minister just isn’t an entry-level job.”

No, but celebrity is an entry-level job, and celebrity culture is slowly eclipsing common-sense culture, including in politics. That’s the only reason we’re facing the spectre of Prime Minister Zoolander.
Any bets on what percentage of the under-50 women’s vote he’ll get in the next election?
I’ll say 65.
