This Is Kind Of Cool
There’s a pretty huge Chinese cyberattack against the US right now, and you can watch it live: http://t.co/owDgX5pPqb

These people are evil. EVIL I SAY!
But Glenn Beck Is The Crazy One
E-voting
Lots of complaints on #pcldr about the Alberta PC’s electronic voting.
How many times are people going to continue trying this dangerous use of technology with the false hope of providing a more direct democracy?
Pencil and paper. If you can’t leave the house (save physical restrictions), you have no right to help determine anyones future.
Lord, save us from retired politicians.
Don’t worry, Brian, your ‘legacy’ is safe.
Asking real questions is so unfair.
We have no right to know what they stand for.
Liberals, who’ve been on the receiving end of the ploy twice in the past three months, call the tactic entrapment, unethical and “Nixonian.” And they worry it could lead to the end of candour in federal politics, with wary politicians reduced to mouthing platitudes and reciting carefully scripted talking points.
In my mind, that should read, “…they worry it could lead to candour in federal politics…”
After all, it’s not like recording MP’s is a new strategy for their opposition.
Photoblogging in Candle Lake, SK
Far too many people in Canada’s cities claim that the Prairies are flat & boring. Those who live in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba know otherwise.
The True Revenge on Feminists Marxists
is not just that their one finite lives on this planet were wasted,
but that it was self-inflicted above all things. And that is the juiciest morsel of revenge I can think of.
Just legislate them back, already.
Because giving parents $40 a day and extending the school year isn’t going to make you any friends either. This is the most strike happy union in Canada, treat them as such.

He has convinced Europe that American football is the real football.
Reader Tips
This one is for @AmandaMarcotte.
You don’t say.
The United States expressed concern on Thursday that Syria’s government might be harboring undeclared chemical weapons, hidden from the internationally led operation to purge them over the past year, and that Islamist militant extremists now ensconced in that country could possibly seize control of them.
I’m pretty sure the NY Times was all agog about Obama’s diplomatic coup in Syria at one point. It takes a special kind of stupid to be a cheerleader of someone the rest of the world was laughing at.
Oh, wait, here’s one.
President Obama deserves credit for putting a focus on upholding an international ban on chemical weapons and for setting aside military action at this time in favor of a diplomatic deal. The Syria crisis should demonstrate to Iran’s new president, Hassan Rouhani, that Mr. Obama, who has held out the possibility of military action against Iran’s nuclear program, is serious about a negotiated solution. Mr. Obama’s disclosure that he had indirectly exchanged messages with Mr. Rouhani was encouraging.
Honey, I Finished The Internet
No one saw this coming….no, not at all.
Does anyone else see the mistake and contradiction in this paragraph?
An HHS official said the attack appears to mark the first successful intrusion into the website, where millions of Americans bought insurance starting last year under the Affordable Care Act. It raised concerns among federal officials because of how easily the intruder gained access and how much damage could have occurred.
Burger King Economics
I don’t know how long it will take “corporation hating” Americans to realize that those same corporations who they love to loathe and blame their laziness and lack of work ethic…err “problems” on are also the primary source of:
1. Jobs
2. Careers
3. Economic innovation and growth
and
4. Their retirement wealth
in this country. And the fact they have made it so inhospitable financially, politically and socially to be a corporation here that corporations would rather
1. Spend money repurchasing their shares
2. Spend money buying other companies’ shares
3. Open factories overseas
4. Bribe/lobby politicians
5. Pull a Medtronic or Burger King
than hire and invest in the US should be a wake up call to all the Obama-supporting college graduates working as barristas for $9/hour.
Er…Time To Cut Their Heads Off?
A funny thing happened over the weekend: While President Obama took heat for saying he didn’t have a strategy to deal with the Islamic State (also known as ISIS and isil) in Syria, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) delivered a pretty remarkable statement (for a potential Presidential Candidate).
“If I were president, I would call a joint session of Congress,” Paul told the AP. “I would lay out the reasoning of why ISIS is a threat to our national security and seek congressional authorization to destroy ISIS militarily.”
We Don’t Need No Stinking Giant Fans
Umm, excuse me Mr. Powerman. I know we’ve debased and bankrupted you, but…um, could you maybe…well, come back? Please?
Yesterday National Grid also contacted the owners of recently closed power plants to enquire as to whether they could be brought back online within the next few weeks. This is an option that has never before been used in Britain, and has been predicted to cost tens of millions as the owners would be paid all costs involved in getting the stations up and running, plus an above market rate price for electricity generated. They would be required to produce energy between 6am and 8pm between November and February.
