What’s The Opposite Of “Diversity”?

Great Moments In Socialism 54 Comments

University.

[University of Waterloo*] is the latest school to fall victim to these self-proclaimed activists. Christie Blatchford was set to give a talk to a small but enthusiastic crowd of people about her new book, Helpless: Caledonia’s Nightmare of Fear and Anarchy, and How the Law Failed All of Us.
Some of the usual suspects decided that Blatchford and her audience were – you guessed it – filthy racists who don’t deserve to have an event.

I say we invade these institutions, fire the administrators and convert them to user pay.

The Isles of Scilly are a group of about 140 islands, five of them inhabited, that lie approximately 30 miles off the tip of Cornwall in England. Even though there are only 2,000 or so people on the islands, they manage to put together a very professional local news broadcast whose positive-minded, helpful, even-tempered, and matter-of-fact tone puts the perpetually outraged stealth-activist lemon-suckers at CBC to shame. From Scilly TV, here’s the relaxing and untroubled Scilly Weekly News Roundup. Enjoy.

Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Calgary Herald, Nov.10th, 2010 – The City of Medicine Hat is set to announce a $9-million solar power project, believed to be the first commercial-scale facility of its kind in Canada. […] “Private enterprise would be much more reluctant to do something like this because they always look at cost-benefit analysis,” [deputy mayor Ted Clugston]* said.
Australia Institute, Nov.11th, 2010 – Government subsidies for residential solar photovoltaic (PV) energy systems are ineffective, costly and unfair, new research published by The Australia Institute shows. […] It found that despite costing the government $1.1 billion, it will only reduce Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions by around 0.015 per cent and failed to generate significant domestic economic benefits.

When in Rome…

Brought to the United States by President Obama a year ago to teach the planet-killers at Chrysler how to make fuel-efficient econoboxes like the ones that proper Europeans drive, [Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne] has fallen in love with big, money-making American SUVs. In an announcement that shook the auto world this week, Sergio announced that he wants Chrysler to help make . . . Alfa Romeo and Maserati SUVs.
Mama Mia! Just wait until Papa Obama gets back from Asia!
[…]
Sergio’s got religion all right. He announced November 8 that he wants Chrysler’s Detroit Assembly Plant — the very facility Obama visited last July to crow about his Detroit bailouts – to build SUV platforms for as many as four brands: Chrysler, Dodge, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati.

I got my first quarter horse yearling when I was 12. I spent the summer breaking him, following the steps in a booklet the King Ranch used to mail out for free to anyone who asked.
If you’ve ever reached forward to slip the bridle off your cutting horse out in a pasture of cattle – just for the fun of it – this’ll bring smile to your face.
And it’ll make you miss your quarter horse.
