Ezra Levant and Jerry Agar on the biggest Canadian scandal since the pocketed communion wafer: Assaquiddick.

Mick Hartley:

So, University College London, founded early in the 19th century as England’s first secular university, an enlightenment alternative to the strict religious orthodoxies of Oxford and Cambridge, dedicated to admitting students regardless of their religion and to admitting women on equal terms with men, is, in 2013, hosting meetings where gender segregation is enforced…”

The occasion was a debate called “Islam or Atheism: Which Makes More Sense?”
Attendee Chris Moos:

“Not only did (the organisers) enforce gender segregation, but five security guards of the organiser intimidated and attempted to physically remove audience members who refused to comply, falsely claiming that these attendees had been disruptive…”

Much more at both links.

Recently thousands of Americans, including students from across the country who have been planning for months and raising their own money to pay for trips to Washington to tour the White House, have been left disappointed by the cancellation of the tours. The tours cost the federal government an estimated $2 million per year, and there’s just not enough money, says the spendiest-ever White House, because of the limitations imposed by federal government sequestration and budget cuts.
There’s more than enough money for other, more important things, though. President Barack Obama recently jetted off to play golf with Tiger Woods at a reported cost of $1 million. A state dinner at the White House in 2010, which included a performance by Beyonce in “a massive tent adorned with…hanging chandeliers” likewise cost nearly $1 million dollars. The Obamas’ annual health-care costs come to about $7 million, and they spend over $20 million annually on vacations.
Then there are the miscellaneous expenses. The federal government spends $2 billion – one thousand times the annual cost of the cancelled White House tours – in San Diego county alone, for such things as —

A…matching federal grant for interpretive dance called “Trolley Dances.”…$600,000 for “the promotion of physical activity in churchgoing Latinas.”… $550,000 for UCSD research into “safer sex intervention for male clients of female sex workers in Tijuana.”

Gotta close the White House to the public, though.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney:

“It is extremely unfortunate that we have a situation like the sequester that compels the kinds of tradeoffs and decisions that this represents.“

Howdy All,
Some of you have asked me about “Kobo” (Canada’s answer to Kindle) and whether I would put my books on that format and I just literally finished doing so. I “believe” I have succeeded in formatting and uploading them correctly. If you were one of those interested people, and you end up downloading one of those books, I’d appreciate it if you’d inform me of any errors or problems. I have uploaded:
Behind the Housing Crash
and
Worthless
as trial runs (besides, I have an exclusivity agreement with Amazon for Enjoy the Decline until May).
If anybody is willing to play “Kobo Beta Test Puppy” I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
Cpt.
