Adam Carolla Interviews Dinesh D’Souza

Baiting The Left entitlement generation Great Moments In Socialism Media The One 1 Comment

In a 90-minute interview, Dinesh D’Souza and Adam Carolla discuss the many problems plaguing America and the sure road to socialist irrelevance awaiting the nation if it continues down the same path it has been heading. A few callers ask some interesting questions, including one contrasting D’Souza’s more optimistic outlook vs. Dennis Miller’s very pessimistic one. Definitely cathartic listening for SDA regulars.

Cursed Are The Cheesemakers

For they shall inherit Obama’s Food Safety Modernization Act;

A sense of disbelief and distress is quickly rippling through the U.S. artisan cheese community, as the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this week announced it will not permit American cheesemakers to age cheese on wooden boards.
[…]
“The very pillar that we built our niche business on is the ability to age our cheese on wood planks, an art that has been practiced in Europe for thousands of years,” Roelli says. Not allowing American cheesemakers to use this practice puts them “at a global disadvantage because the flavor produced by aging on wood can not be duplicated. This is a major game changer for the dairy industry in Wisconsin, and many other states.”
As if this weren’t all bad enough, the FDA has also “clarified” – I’m really beginning to dislike that word – that in accordance with FSMA, a cheesemaker importing cheese to the United States is subject to the same rules and inspection procedures as American cheesemakers.

I don’t know why they’re surprised – it’s completely consistent with this administration.

Old Libranos never die – they just slither into the greenery;

A U.S. wind power developer that is seeking $653-million in damages under a NAFTA challenge accuses the government of Ontario of manipulating Green Energy Act rules to benefit the interests of Liberal-connected firms, according to court documents obtained by the National Post. […]
The Mesa Power document also claims that NextEra “had direct access to the Premier’s Office.” It says that NextEra met with former McGuinty aides Jamison Steeve and Sean Mullin in October, 2010. Both men would later be involved in the negotiations surrounding the cancellation of gas-plants in the greater Toronto area and the payments to the affected firms.
Opposition critics of the Green Energy Act have long contended that the governing Liberals used explosive growth in renewable energy since 2009 to steer contracts toward favoured firms and Liberal insiders. Various companies have also taken the government to court over the frequent changes to the Feed-in-Tariff program, but the government has maintained that it is allowed to make policy changes even if they negatively impact green-energy investors. Ontario also lost a WTO ruling that found the “domestic content” requirements in the Green Energy Act discriminated against foreign-owned firms and were a violation of trade agreements.

From the comments – “Should be easy enough to investigate as the OPP are already at the campaign headquarters.”

Strange Happenings in America

Religion Of Submission The One 17 Comments

Just when you thought happenings in Obamamerica couldn’t get any more bizarre, this happens:

The Taliban was ‘thrilled’ when Bowe Bergdahl’s father ‘claimed the White House for Islam’ by thanking Allah in his press conference with President Obama, it has been claimed.
The father of the freed soldier – who former colleagues claim was a deserter – said he was speaking Arabic and Pashto because his son’s English was poor after five years in captivity.
But commentators accused him of giving the Taliban a priceless propaganda tool, with one saying extremist sources in Pakistan were delighted.

Multicultists the world over must be joyous!

The Demon Phone

Baiting The Left Baiting the Right Roadkill 28 Comments

Sunday Times;

TOUGHER penalties for using mobile phones while driving are being considered by the government after research showed that it slowed a driver’s reactions more than drink or drugs.

Only if one sets aside the somewhat obvious fact that when the call ends, the driver is sober. The article goes on to bury the lede;

For those on the drink-drive limit of 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood, reaction times were reduced by 13%. For those who had used cannabis it was 21%. Goodwill said: “I will see if we need to change the penalties.”

While legalizing pot.
But that’s the UK, this is Canada. So, note the spike in fatalities as cell phones became ubiquitous on our highways.

There’s a reason that the “distracted driving” campaign is driven by anecdote – the facts fail the narrative.

Shocker: Toronto’s Red Star Supports the Ontario Liberals

Baiting The Left You Might Be A Liberal 42 Comments

The Toronto Star published an editorial that starts with this:

At this point in the political cycle, Ontario’s Liberals ought by all rights to be on the ropes. After 11 years in power they are dragging a clanking chain of mismanagement and scandals behind them. Another party, with an inspiring leader and fresh vision, ought to be a shoo-in next Thursday.

Yet they came to this conclusion: “Based on her record over the past 16 months, we believe Wynne has earned that opportunity.”   Strange times we live in.
