  2. Food prices are reported to be going up due to the unprecedented drought in the States. That is the narrative given by the MSM, but there may be other factors involved, such as billon dollar lawsuits.
    “Don Barrett, a Mississippi lawyer, took in hundreds of millions of dollars a decade ago after suing Big Tobacco and winning record settlements from R. J. Reynolds, Philip Morris and other cigarette makers. So did Walter Umphrey, Dewitt M. Lovelace and Stuart and Carol Nelkin.
    Ever since, the lawyers have been searching for big paydays in business, scoring more modest wins against car companies, drug makers, brokerage firms and insurers. Now, they have found the next target: food manufacturers.“

  4. “Trans-Partisan Media Activist” – seriously – Duane Elgin at HuffPo:

    Humanity is converting the Earth into a gas chamber by pouring lethal amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The consequences are profound: Scientists estimate that in less than a single lifetime from now, we will be living in a planet far different from anything that our ancestors have experienced over the past two million years.

    It gets even worse:

    The oceans are turning acidic and dying; prolonged droughts and historic floods from weather extremes are becoming the norm; heat waves beyond the tolerance of people, plants, and animals are more frequent; more powerful hurricanes and storms are spreading, tropical diseases are expanding into warmer zones and, eventually, a sea level rise will flood coastal cities around the world and produce massive migrations of people, animals, and plants. A climate crisis of this magnitude will result in massive crop failures, famines, food riots, and the breakdown of societies…

    And the eco-alarmists wonder why more and more people are just rolling their eyes.

  7. The Investor’s Business Daily did not mince any words. Good for them. It is also great to read from one of the commenters from BC to the article that Mann seems to be procrastinating with regard to producing the requested documents in his suit against Dr. Tim Ball.
    I didn’t know Joe was like that.
    Beer! I enjoy the occasional beer, but I still remember some home made beer a buddy and I got into at the age of sixteen, and it is not a fond memory, as I can still taste it after 54 years.

  8. First Newsweek, now Anderson Cooper:
    http://youtu.be/8k-KuYJraEg
    Really not sure what to make of this apparent sudden desire by the left-wing media to dig for the truth.
    As for Wasserman, she is a loud mouth freak of a woman, and she epitomizes all things awful about the left.

  11. Re: “As we like it.”
    I was raised in SW Sask. On Sundays, we drove across the lines to places like “Turks Tavern” in Opheim, Montana. I must say that patrons were well behaved, and the beer was good. It all came to an end when they allowed Sunday drinking in Saskatchewan.
    I read a book about a guy who worked on Montana highway crews during the Great Depression of the 30`s. They actually had barrels of ice cold beer for the boys to drink on scorching hot days.
    The name of the book is Dust, Dreams and Depression. Can`t recall the author–he was from Saskatchewan.

  12. Wasserman shultz grilled by Anderson Cooper:
    DWS looked like she just came from being laid in the back of a DNC bus/garbage truck. Comb the sweat out of your hair woman!!!
    Probably her best “campaigning” in a year.ick.

  16. First DHS issues totally irresponsible memos to all police agencies insinuating that returning veterans, gun owners, Christians, Constitutionalists/patriots and Ron Paul supporters are terror suspects. Now we see the fallout as local control freaks try to please their paranoid fed masters – Vets being “disappeared” and locked up in mental institutions without warrant, charges or a crime soviet style – for posting political opinions on Face Book – is it time for concern yet?

    “How hip-hop fell out of love with Obama”

  26. Robert, that “blooper” was actually more professional than they usually are at CTV Victoria. Chek is about on par. In fact Chek just made a guy straight out of J-School their anchor.

    Nothing very new; just a “2-wheeler” version of Moller’s perpetually “under development” Skycar.
    Ducted fan flying machines have been proposed since at least as far back as the 1950s. The big problem with them is that they rely exclusively upon engine thrust to keep them airborne. Let just one engine fail on that thing, and you won’t even have time to bend over and kiss your a$$ goodbye.
    Basically in the same league as those backpack rocket systems, a technological stunt that may work, but has no practical value, because the cost, hazard, and flight duration issues can’t be overcome.

  30. Well lookie here! Remember that Robocall scandal?
    Seems the LIBERALS have been fined for it.
    cbc.ca All you Liberals out there-remember-Karma’s a bitch eh?

    “Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi’s Pan-Europa
    as the Elusive “Object of Longing”
    “The Austro-Hungarian intellectual Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi (1894-1972) saw the end of World War I as the ideal time to finally create the centuries-old “object of longing,” i.e., a peaceful, united Europe (Coudenhove-Kalergi, Pan Europe 8). In doing so, he inspired a large additional body of literature and a movement for a unified Europe which exists, albeit in a much-reduced role, down to the present day. I locate his magnum opus, Pan-Europa1 in the continuum of German-language treatments of Europe as a political project.2 This interwar text is especially interesting for scholars as it represents a rare bourgeois dissent against nationalistic pretensions prevalent in many other Weimar-era political treatises on the cultural position of Germany and Europe in the wider world. Pan-Europa contains much of interest beyond utopian policy prescriptions for interwar European statesmen, illuminating discussions on the pace, scope, and goals of European integration into the present day.”

  37. Lance Armstrong’s statement… and having read it my opinion is, if he was going to be caught out / cheating, the time to do that was when he was an active participant in cycling. He hasn’t lashed out and said others took drugs, just re-stated his innocence, pointed out that some others seem hell bent on revenge, and walked away.
    “There comes a point in every man’s life when he has to say, “Enough is enough.” For me, that time is now.”

  44. maz2,
    Only a 46 year difference? … ? sounds Liberal to me.
    I especially liked the mention that she’ll be in court on her 1 year wedding anniversary.
    46 years?
