In dishonour of SDA’s most annoying, angry troll, tonight we present a series of videos designed to drive him/her/it apoplectic: 1, 2, 3, & 4. Hopefully it’ll have a similar effect that Bug-Off does on mosquitoes!
All examples of farming related, or non-farm related, reader tips you’d like to share would be much appreciated in the comments.

“It wasn’t my job!”
Gilles Surprenant, a retired Montreal city engineer, has admitted to taking over $700,000 in kickbacks.
“I don’t think it was my role, as a simple functionary, to call the police about it.”
“I’m not a villain. I am a civil servant who has been corrupted.”
They know they’re losing.
Ugh.

How deep is the economic hole? The Greek statistics agency EL.STAT is reporting that the 2011 deficit stood at 9.4 percent of GDP and the public debt at a staggering 170.6 percent. Greece is begging the EU and IMF to release the latest tranche of aid—a staggering 31.2 billion euros ($39.7 billion). Forget trite talk of Greeks losing only their feather-bedded pensions and early retirement. The cuts are deep, the pain real, and the anger white-hot.
Free Ezra Levant!

“72% of consumers know little or nothing about farming and ranching. Yet, 70% say purchase decisions are affected by how food is grown and raised.”

Sitting here waiting to board my flight to Amsterdam, and they’re still calling “Osama” and “Mohammed” to the desk for “documentation”.
When I was asked in Saskatoon if I had anything in my pockets, I replied “just gum”. The security screener guy said “You’ll have to take that out.”.
Odd, I thought, but I pulled it out and showed it to him.
“Oh”, he said. “That’s fine”.
I looked at him for a second.
“I said ‘Gum’. With an ‘M’” ….

Michael Mann to Proceed with Lawsuit
Notorious climate scientist Michael Mann is going to proceed with his lawsuit against National Review Online, Mark Steyn, and a few others. Steyn shares a few preliminary thoughts.
Here’s a prescient question: Does Prof. Mann fully understand the concept of “discovery” under American law? During this phase of his lawsuit he will be required to release any & all documents that the lawyers of the defendants demand of him. The public release of those will be beyond fascinating!

In contrast with best industry practices ….
Germany’s gold reserves do not seem to be independently verified by a third party.
Philipp Missfelder, a politician from Merkel’s own party, has asked the Bundesbank for the right to view the gold bars in Paris and London, but the central bank has denied the request, citing the lack of visitor rooms in those facilities, German’s daily Bild reported. The Bundesbank won’t let German parliament members inspect the German gold vaulted abroad because the central bank vaulting facilities supposedly lack “visiting rooms.” And yet one of those vaults, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, offers the public tours that include “an exclusive visit to the gold vault”.
