Crown Butte… Saskatchewan?

If Women Ran The World 53 Comments

[Mavis] Moore, who grew up in Crown Butte, Sask., says she is incensed at Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s characterization of the [gun registry] debate.

Has anyone heard of this place? Just asking. (Her firearms safety skills are …. exemplary.)
Update – here’s something the Star article neglected to mention about rootin’ tootin’ shootin’ rural Mavis – she’s currently a vice-president of the National Council Of Women.

Y2Kyoto: State Of Aneroxia Envirosa

Great Moments In Socialism 27 Comments

This time it’s Australia;

Death of a Feedlot Operator …in which the anal-retentive government of West Australia has “licensed” a family farm out of operation due to some shonky science and arbitrary application of the “sniff test”. Yes that’s right, cattle farms smell, so do pig farms, as does any farm. But now it’s reason to shut one out due to baseless complaints from the local greens. And, it all started when Matt Thompson started doubting global warming and talking about it publicly.

See WUWT for the details.

Tonight’s amusement en route to the Tips is a pleasant, easy-listening song from the late seventies. Buoyed at one point by the plaintive, womanly, wailing vocals of slide-guitar whiz David Lindley, here’s Jackson Browne and his band performing a two song medley consisting of Browne’s Stay and Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs’ 1960 hit Stay (Just a Little Bit Longer).

Losing Our Heads

… to be progressive:

Even with the Constitution on his side, Jones was in effect stripped of equal standing in the eyes of his fellow citizens. Little wonder, then, that his bank actually called in his church’s mortgage; his insurance company actually canceled his church’s policy; and his Internet server actually pulled the plug on his website — all repercussions of his planned 9/11 demonstration. Inside of a week, Jones achieved a state on nonpersonhood that exceeds that of most convicted criminals, despite the fact that the only law he contemplated breaking was Islam’s.

Our Friday night amusement en route to the Tips is a catchy original song made famous by the young Rolling Stones, who – you may notice – not only copied most of the instrumental arrangement but also closely mimicked the vocal inflections. From a 1963 recording, here are the song’s original performers (and writers) The Valentinos singing It’s All Over Now.

Y2Kyoto: It’s A Contest! (Bumped)

Climate Cult 360 Comments

Anthony Watts, on The morphology of “global warming”;

Obama’s science Czar John Holdren has decided the new name for global warming, er, climate change shall be:

Because the first two didn’t work apparently.

And neither will this. First of all, it’s three words, and secondly, they don’t exactly roll neatly off the tongue. That adds up to one big fat TV reporter fail.
So, comments are now open to SDA reader suggestions for a new Big Scary Name for the coming fourth stage of morph.
Winners will be announced Monday. Keep it clean.
Update: Instead of just naming a winner, I’ll close “nominations” on Saturday night, and put the final decision to a poll of selected finalists. The submission chosen by our readers will win a $50.00 donation to the registered charity of their choice.
