  1. I just gotta ask. Don’t tell me a Ford gutted another Chev by pulling the frame right out from under the Chev. Ha Ha….

  3. Let’s get this straight. We had a financial crisis brought about by malinvestment during a credit-induced boom. It was enabled by central banks. As Peter Schiff analogizes: the elementary school teacher handed out pixie sticks and soda pop, left the classroom, and returned to find that the kindergarteners had wrecked the place.
    How did the Bank of Canada respond? Liquidate the malinvestment? Nope. Allow the market to determine interest rates to encourage saving and capital accumulation? Guess again. Marco? Polo.
    The Bank of Canada responded by further lowering interest rates to stimulate debt-financed consumption. In other words, they continued to do the exact same thing that caused the crisis in the first place. And now they are patting themselves on the back over it. They celebrate this “robust recovery” in the useless Keynesian macroeconomic metric of “domestic demand.” It is assumed that this time will be different.

  5. It’s instructive what people do when they have time and money to spare.
    Some people invent ways to interfere in others’ lives; some go looking for the Infidel. Americans always do something amazing, experimental and hilarious. Bless ’em.

  7. “North Dakota State University does not discriminate on the basis of age, color, disability, gender expression/identity, genetic information, marital status, national origin, public assistance status, sex, sexual orientation, status as a U.S. veteran, race or religion.”
    That’s good to know. I hope all other Universities can make the same claim!

  10. Everyone’s favourite state broadcaster is doing what do the best this weekend. They have found some small business owners who have come to the dubious conclusion that scrapping the penny will cost them thousands.
    Highlights? from the article;
    ” the cost of re-programming computers and cash registers will be in the thousands.”
    ” The owner of Ottawa’s Café Le Monde estimates a $200 cost to reprogram his cash register. But pizza parlours, where prices usually end with 99 cents, the cost is expected to be $4,000. That includes changes to software, menus and signs.”
    And my favourite,
    ” Many will also have to eliminate odd-numbered transactions.” — That boggles the mind.

    I figured that the people who were contacted for this article were likely Liberal friends of the cbc. They may be. I didn’t find any info on that. But I did find out where the cbc article originated. It came from a quaint little site called Hayat Canada. This site,besides the above article and other news ,also offer the “electronic quran” and ” halal maps” which ” makes it fun and easy to find mosques, halal outlets and Islamic schools.”

    I suppose to balance things out the cbc also has an article on their site about Anglican bishops moaning over the Gateway pipeline.
    FIRE.THEM.ALL.

  11. I could be wrong on the penny article originating from the islamic website. It says written by Hayat Canada,but has links to the cbc article. Odd,but maybe they just wrote the headline.

  14. Thanks for the links peterj. I’m pretty well read in James Hansens role and complicity in the AGW scam, what I found most interesting was his bullshit implication that mankind has ever had control of the climate system.

  16. Anything anyone want me to ask Jason Kenney next week? I’ll be at a “meet and greet” with the next PM next Saturday.

  17. “New steel cable of 1 inch diameter in excellent condition may break at 10,000 pounds, and chain with links made of half-inch diameter material may break at 2,400 pounds.”
    Haw, haw. Yea they may break if they are from China.

  19. fossil, if they’re North America manufactured to standards, the 1 inch cable will go a minimum 83,000 pounds before breaking. Half inch transport 70 chain will take 45,000 pounds. I’m guessing the truck in the video failed at less than 10,000 pounds.

  20. Yeah James.
    Ask him if he knows what the definition of “Conservative” is.

  24. “The government of the predominantly Muslim nation of Sudan has stripped its 500,000 to 700,000 Christians of citizenship and has put them on notice that they have one week to leave the country. Even sub-jim crow dhimmi status is to be denied them.”

    Missed the boat on that one, time’s up, … er, tomorrow.
    Rob Miller’s right, I haven’t seen this elevated to “outrage status” in the MSM..

  25. chutzpahticular @ 12:24 p.m.:
    What? Van Jones and Kalle Lasn are in cahoots? What a f***ing surprise. Not.
    Jones apparently has written a book called “Rebuilding the Dream”, but given his background and viewpoint I guarantee he would turn the USA into a nightmare.

  26. One would want to be sure about quality cable arrestors as used on aircraft carriers. Usually four of them.
    What the aircraft tailhook is supposed to snag. As in Top Gun, one of my favourite movies.
