Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors
If CNN is typical of mainstream American news coverage, no freakin’ wonder George Zimmerman was doing his Neighborhood Watch with a Glock. (*)
Free Justin Carter!
Carter’s joke was witless and flippant — typical, in other words, of late-teenaged men. By no means was it criminal. Nevertheless, a woman in Canada, who inexactly described herself as a “concerned citizen,” saw from afar what Carter had written and shopped him to Texas police. Police acquiesced to her request, searching the family’s house in the process — and finding nothing. “They really want my son to go away to jail for a sarcastic comment that he made,” Jack Carter, the boy’s father, said. Apparently so: He’s been incarcerated since March without trial.
Restoring ‘Shaming’ to its Rightful Place
Democrat Rep. Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran, avoids political correctness and rightfully shames IRS contractor, Braulio Castillo. It’s a thing of beauty to watch.
Happy 146th Birthday, Canada!
Is There Nothing That Obama Can’t Do?
Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Barack Obama, 2009; “I think that we’ve restored America’s standing in the world…”
Speigel, 2013; America’s NSA intelligence service allegedly targeted the European Union with its spying activities. According to SPIEGEL information, the US placed bugs in the EU representation in Washington and infiltrated its computer network. Cyber attacks were also perpetrated against Brussels in New York and Washington.”

… promises with a shorter shelf-life than an open tin of sardines:
“Barack Obama and Joe Biden will restore America’s standing in the world by providing a new American leadership to meet the challenges of a new century”.
Yep … Sardines.
“If the media reports are accurate, then this recalls the methods used by enemies during the Cold War,” Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger said in a statement to The Associated Press.

… like a 350 Cummins turbo diesel.

Vehicle has Ontario plates.

Nothing says “this might be one of the good guys” like parking a 350 Cummins turbo diesel in a university parking lot and processing tree core samples for Climate Audit.
Where’s their paypal link? I think we owe them a tank of diesel.
The Mind Numbing Effects of Living on the Left Coast
In recent days I’ve had occasion to meet a late 20’s woman who originally hails from Brazil but has been living in Vancouver for the past 7 years. She’s well spoken, has mastered the English language extremely well, and is currently in the processing of applying to become a Canadian citizen. She lives in Hedy Fry’s riding. She’s also Justin Trudeau’s ideal New Canadian: Wildly misinformed and a liberal/Liberal through & through.
Since meeting her, the following has emanated from her vocal chords:
- I’m studying for the citizenship test so I know much more about Canada and its history than you do.
- I love everything about Canada except Harper.
- Let’s face it, Pierre Trudeau was one of the greatest forces for good that this country has every seen.
- Justin Trudeau is dreamy and I’d volunteer for him in a second.
To #4, I responded, “you mean you’d vote for his hair if it alone were running!” But on a serious note, the Conservative Party of Canada should not ignore the fact the fact that there are lots of people like her. Damning facts like this matter not to her. She is infected with a virulent strain of HDS, which should make Liberals everywhere so incredibly proud on this Canada Day.
The Sound Of Settled Science
A few weeks before Obama’s announcement, on March 18 in Exeter, England, another WMO member, the United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMO), held a meeting to discuss the unusual weather and try and understand the
“disappointing UK weather over recent years.”
In fact, the need for the meeting and the programme indicates how little they know about weather and climate. What is really disappointing for them is the complete failure of their forecasting. They need an excuse for failure, but in doing so expose their incompetence.
Their total failure over decades could only happen in government or government sponsored industry. In the natural world, that advocates of more government generally favor, elimination would have occurred. Typical of government, failures and redundancies are perpetuated as people preserve their jobs. Give any problem to government and they will create structures that quickly work on sustaining themselves rather than achieving resolution. Can you think of any non-government agency that could be wrong 13 out of 14 years as the UKMO was and yet maintain their jobs or business?

Honey, I Finished The Internet
Sustainable…Steak?
That first “s” word is now effectively, for right- (in that other sense of the word) thinking people a meme to identify elliptically all those things they support and those they condemn. From sustainable development to sustainable transportation. And we already have sustainable food, more from a usual suspect.
Having just eaten a superb, barbied on charcoal, one-pound and thick rib steak (gnawed to the bone as best one could) one is both glad and sad to be of a certain age.
By the way the perfect and only side: watercress. Does that green one? A bit?
