The Left’s Missing Self-Awareness Gene
Froma Harrop wears two hats: She’s the head of the Civility Project and she’s a political columnist. While wearing the second hat last summer, she wrote this:
Make no mistake: The tea party Republicans have engaged in economic terrorism against the United States — threatening to blow up the economy if they don’t get what they want. And like the al-Qaida bombers, what they want is delusional: the dream of restoring some fantasy caliphate in which no one pays taxes, while the country is magically protected from foreign attack and the elderly get government-paid hip replacements.
Yesterday, the Daily Show’s John Oliver tried to help her see the light (link for our American friends). No luck. Absolutely no luck. Ms. Harrop claims she was in on the joke. Many think she was not.

The Canadian Liberal Party’s “Road to Renewal”
Can the Liberals reinvent themselves … with Sheila Copps or Bob Rae as leader?? Adler chimes in and hilarity ensues!
Never before in history could a pillar of support be more aptly described as a toothpick. Even Coyne isn’t enthusiastic.
Still, some are optimistic that enough hyphenated identity groups can be strung together for another grasp at power! Note: While watching the video at the last link, does this keep running through your head? Could someone encourage Ezra Levant to interview/debate this pair? Please!!!
Update: For those interested in a good laugh, you can follow Kady O’Malley’s live blogging of the 2012 Liberal Convention. Here’s a sampling (read from the bottom) :
They Took All The Rights, Put ‘Em In A Rights Museum
I’m not a project manager by trade, but I have worked on projects and taken project management training and I am confident in saying this: if you want your project to come in on time and on budget it needs to be properly managed. Especially if it’s a large project like, oh I don’t know … just pulling something out of the air here … the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

Dead People Voting in New Hampshire

The World Needs More Canada
James Delingpole loves Canada! The comments from his readers are more of a mixed bag.
Is There Nothing That Obama Can’t Do?
The incident illustrates the law of unintended consequences. The unwavering Green campaign to block economic growth reduces their host’s relative clout in the world. What weakens America eventually weakens the very thing they rely on to advance their agenda.
Meanwhile other organisms unburdened by parasites grow apace. Sooner or later things reach the point where the parasite-ridden host it loses its apex role in the ecosystem. And then surprise, surprise: they no longer make way from the former king of the hill. President Obama probably never believed that Canada could take its business elsewhere.

John O’Sullivan Goes Above And Beyond
It’s slipped past most skeptics with all the action lately, but John O’Sullivan is putting in above and beyond what any single skeptical soul ought to.
He’s already been a key figure helping Tim Ball in the legal fight with the UVA establishment, which has spent over a million dollars helping Michael Mann to hide emails. The case was launched by Michael Mann, but could turn out to do a huge favor to skeptics — the discovery process is a powerful tool, and we all know who has been hiding their methods, their data, and their work-related correspondence.
Tim Ball and John O’Sullivan are helping all the free citizens of the West. The burden should not be theirs alone. There are many claims for help at the moment, but that is a sign that the grand scam is coming to a head.

Get Ready Saskatchewan…The Coming US Farm Boom
“Not all dirt is the same. Some dirt is astonishing, compared to other dirt,” – Jim Rogers 01/10/2012
“If I were buying anything I’d be buying agricultural commodities,” “Going forward we’re going to have huge shortages of everything – including farmers – I think ag will be a great place for the next 10-20 years” – Jim Rogers 12/30/2011
Analysis has revealed that with a buy date of December 6 and a sell date of June 13, investors have benefited from a total return of 95.14% over the last 10 years. This scenario has shown positive results in 6 of those periods. – by Don Vialoux of EquityClock.com
Sioux County, Iowa: Ground zero for U.S. farm boom. While farmland prices across the Corn Belt in Iowa have been among the heartland’s fastest growing – up 261 percent since 2000 – they’ve more than tripled in Sioux County, rising faster than most of the state.

This Is Awkward
Northern Gateway “interveners” signed up without their knowledge;
“I don’t know what you are talking about,” said the 53-year-old woman on Tuesday from her home.
“I have never heard of this pipeline and I did not apply to speak in Canada,” she said, in broken English.
That’s strange. On the federal government’s National Energy Board website, Gudic is one of a whopping 4,522 registrants who apparently applied online to make an oral application. Her name, mailing address, e-mail and phone number are included on the website.
Gudic’s daughter, Flavia, also has never heard of the pipeline, that, if approved, would ship raw Alberta bitumen to Kitimat, B.C., to be sent to Asia via supertankers.
“Maybe the environmental organizations we donate to signed us up,” offered Flavia, a 19-year-old art student.
