German MP wants DNA testing on dog poo.
The Ontario Human Rights Commission petitions to restore muslim women to their proper display of subservience.
The Ontario Human Rights Commission is arguing that a provincial court judge failed to recognize the religious freedoms of a Muslim woman when he ordered her to testify at a sexual assault trial without a veil known as a niqab.
The government agency is asking for special permission to be allowed to intervene at a Superior Court proceeding hearing an appeal of the lower court decision, because of its 45 years of “expertise” in the area of human rights.
(Note that “expertise” is in scare quotes. Heh.)
The commission says it can assist the court in interpreting the Ontario Human Rights code and help explain issues of human rights.
“The Commission’s intention, if it were allowed to intervene, would be to articulate the current state of the law in respect of the duty to accommodate religious beliefs and practices and to explain how Mr. Justice Weisman’s ruling is inconsistent with the current state of the law,” the government agency argues.
Via Andycanuck, who writes – “Isn’t it nice to have a pretend court system and pretend judges wanting to overturn the ruling of a real judge?”

On March 2, join thousands of people in a multi-generational act of civil disobedience at the Capitol Power Plant — a plant that powers Congress with dirty energy and symbolizes a past that cannot be our future. Let’s use this as a rallying cry for a clean energy economy that will protect the health of our families, our climate, and our future.
This will be a peaceful demonstration, carried out in a spirit of hope and not rancor. We will be there in our dress clothes, and ask the same of you.

British soldiers are engaged in “a surreal mini civil war” with growing numbers of homegrown jihadists who have travelled to Afghanistan to support the Taliban, senior army officers have told The Independent.
Interceptions of Taliban communications have shown that British jihadists – some “speaking with West Midlands accents” – are active in Helmand and other parts of southern Afghanistan, according to briefing papers prepared by an official security agency.
Estimate: MI5 has estimated that up to 4,000 British Muslims had travelled to Pakistan and, before the fall of the Taliban, to Afghanistan for military training. The main concern until now has been about the parts some of them had played in terrorist plots in the UK. Now there are signs that they are mounting missions against British and Western targets abroad. “We are now involved in a kind of surreal mini-British civil war a few thousand miles away,” said an army officer.
Somalia is also becoming a destination for British Muslims of Somali extraction who have started fighting alongside Al Qaeda-backed forces.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Saturday night distinguished lecture, documentary & interview series, here is Matthieu Ricard, previously a molecular geneticist as the Pasteur Institute, and now a Buddhist monk, presenting his talk: Habits of Happiness (2004, 20:55).
Last week, Dan Gilbert rounded out our very hasty walk, over the last two months, from the cosmos to atoms to the value of predictive pattern matching, consciousness, and happiness. In tonight’s show Mattieu continues our look into what new science and technology are telling us about ourselves, and how that relates to ancient versions of said understanding, once at a mystical level, now moving toward an epistemological level. Mattieu’s combination of Buddhist monk plus scientist I find interesting, much as in the way I find Lee Kwan Yew’s combination of Oxford economist and Confucian interesting.

The freedom we spoke of earlier is the freedom, it’s the ambition, it’s the desire, the wherewithal, the passions that people have that gave us the great entrepreneurial advances, the great inventions, the greatest food production, the human lifestyle advances in this country, why shouldn’t that be rewarded? Why is that now the focus of punishment? Why is that now the focus of blame? Why doesn’t — Mayor Bloomberg the other day, ladies and gentlemen, resisting his Governor’s call for an increased tax on the rich in New York had some astounding numbers. Eight million people live in New York. 40,000 of those eight million pay roughly 60 to 70% of New York’s operating budget. He was afraid that if he raised taxes on those people some of them might leave. Mayor, one already has, by the way. [Applause] Stop and think of this, though. Stop and think of this. 40,000 people out of eight million. He’s right, if 10,000 of them leave, or 5,000, they’ve got a huge problem. Because New York has its own welfare state inside the one the federal government’s created. They’ve got a dependency class that has grown up and been educated their entitlement is to be fed and taken care of by these evil mean people who have more than they do. If New York City, New York State or Washington, DC were a business, these 40,000 people would be taken on golf tournament trips to Los Angeles, and they would be wined and dined and they would be thanked and they would be encouraged to keep it up. They wouldn’t be told they’re the problem. They wouldn’t be told, except there’s — I pride my accuracy rating. There is one other business where the customer is always wrong and that’s the media. Sorry about that. [Applause]
Have you ever called to complain about whatever they do? They say, yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full. They hang up and say you’re too stupid to know how they’re doing what they’re doing. You can’t get it. You’re not sophisticated enough. So that’s another business where the customer is always wrong. But, seriously, the people who have achieved great things, most of it is not inherited. Most wealth in this country is the result of entrepreneurial, just plain old hard work. There’s no reason to punish it. There’s no reason to raise taxes on these people. Barack Obama, the Democrat Party, have one responsibility, and that’s to respect the oath they gave to protect, defend and follow the US Constitution.
They don’t have the right to take money that’s not theirs and none of it is from the back pockets of producers and give it to groups like ACORN which are going to advance the Democrat Party. If anybody but government were doing this, it would be a crime. And many of us think it’s bordering on that as it exists now.
President Obama is so busy trying to foment and create anger in a created atmosphere of crisis. He is so busy fueling the emotions of class envy that he’s forgotten it’s not his money that he’s spending. [Applause] In fact, the money he’s spending is not ours. He’s spending wealth that has yet to be created. And that is not sustainable. It will not work. This has been tried around the world. And every time it’s been tried it’s a failed disaster.
