When the smell of burning tires fills the air, and bitter socialists pound heavy objects against your door, there’s only one thing to do: haul out the old turntable and slow dance with your spouse to the sweet sounds of Herb Oscar Anderson.

CTV: The Sound Of Silent Science
An inventive solution to an old problem: how to silence an inconvenient study?
After initially playing the wrong video under the heading, CTV replaced it with the correct version – without audio.
But there’s agenda journalism, and then there’s flat out scumbag.

CWB: The “Don’t Try Anything Cute” Order Of 2011
His Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, pursuant to subsection 18(1) of the Canadian Wheat Board Act, hereby directs The Canadian Wheat Board to conduct its operations under that Act, while the Bill entitled Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act is being considered by Parliament, in the following manner:
(a) it shall avoid extraordinary actions or commitments that would be contrary to the best interests of The Canadian Wheat Board if that Bill is passed by Parliament and receives royal assent; and
(b) it shall credit profits or gains referred to in sections 8, 33.01 and 39.1 of the Canadian Wheat Board Act to the contingency fund established under paragraph 6(1)(c.3) of that Act, unless a different disposition of those profits or gains is required under that Act.
Related: Facts, Lies and the House Debate – I am utterly amazed that Mr. Goodale, the author and architect of the current CWB Act, would actually take the position that an Act that he wrote was meant to bind future governments to this policy, which would mean they can’t repeal the Act. Are we really supposed to believe that was his intent?
UPDATE – Open letter from Henry Vos who has just quit as a CWB director.
The CWB’s decision this week to launch a legal challenge against the Federal Government over the proposed changes to the CWB ACT, when it is clear to everyone that it will not change the outcome and would not change the timing of the government action, is simply wrong.
But Glenn Beck Is The Crazy One
That’s one side of what people want, right, cause that’s not the only thing people want. they also want to take the bank out of his f****** tower and string him up in the public square.. That’s not that’s not just the crazy left, that’s everyday folks talking about their experiences.
This is America, right? We want to talk about ‘We’re the 99%” as if we’re also not the 99% who also loves Transformers 4, right? As if this is the 99% who also doesn’t feel passionate anger. “All we want is our little appropriate piece of the pie and we just want to be friendly.“
And the capitalists know that’s not the case. If you want to read what the capitalists think about this you can go and look at what Glenn Beck says. He’s got a better analysis than most people on the left have about where this can go and how threaten—

Take Me, Obama
The leg tingles seem a lifetime ago….
“And I’ve said this before, this election will not be as sexy as the first one,” said Obama. “Back then, I was–it was still fresh and new, and I didn’t have any gray hair and everybody loved the ‘Hope’ posters and all that. But this time it’s: We’ve got to grind it out a little bit. We’ve got to grind it out.”

Hon. Gerry Ritz…this government is very strong and very solid with Canadian farmers and with the Canadian farm sector, coast to coast to coast…

This Is Not Your Grandma’s Humane Society
When kind-hearted citizens pull out their checkbooks to make a donation to the Humane Society, we’re certain they picture their dollars buying kibble for stray dogs or blankets for abandoned kittens.
We’re just as certain they don’t donate money assuming it will be used to print slick marketing materials that will be used only to generate more donations.
But, according a story in Monday’s editions, that’s exactly what happened to most of the money sent to the Humane Society of the United States.
