Tonight, as we wait for tomorrow’s ‘aye’ or ‘nae’ Scotland independence vote that could break up the United Kingdom, we listen to a modern version o’ Robbie Burns’ Scots Wha Hae. (Lyrics here.)
Hopefully it won’t affect the vote, because tribal tensions are already running high in the comments:
“…your Fascist Faggotry is only exceeded by your wacky bampot wankery..”
The comments are open, as always, for your Reader Tips.

Artificial sweeteners linked to obesity epidemic
Artificial sweeteners may exacerbate, rather than prevent, metabolic disorders such as Type 2 diabetes, a study suggests.
It could be that artificial sweeteners lead to an expansion of bacterial species that extract energy from food that often gets stored as fat, contributing to obesity, Nagler said. It’s also possible the sweeteners could suppress the growth of other bacteria that seem to stave off insulin resistance, she said.

So help me out here.
– A ‘Yes’ vote will permit men to carry-on, in colourful tartan dresses, blowing weird noises, drinking malt whiskey;
– A ‘No’ vote will …..Oh damn!
Yes, that part will remain the same.

That’s some funny stuff. he-hmmmff!!
How Scotland chooses to modify their politics is really none of my business.
I grew up in rural Saskatchewan the 50’s, listening to early morning radio while we waited for the school bus. This song blended in well with a bowl of porridge on a cold January morning. It was number one on the charts in 1961, in Canada, the USA and most of the UK.

Some climate ‘scientists’ now believe that global warming is to blame for extreme cold snaps in North America during the winter months…. yeah right.
Isn’t this the point in the story where some kid in the crowd says “Why isn’t the King wearing any clothes?”
Ontar-I-owe Liberal government showing it’s arrogance again. Their run-away-when-the-going-gets- tough former Premier, Dalty McGuinty/McLiar registered as a Lobbyist, will be lobbying for a company called Desire2Learn which sells the provincial government some $3 million in school software annually. He may not be breaking any rules if they have none and the poor fella has to make a living is the story….Bullcrap, he just can’t get his arse away from government in some capacity. Rats just can’t leave a food source.

wacky, bampot, wankery. man it just does not get better than that. when I first read about Scottish independence, sometime before I was concerned with quebec independence, I did question who was going to pay for the level of socialism they do or do not enjoy.
The Scots have their haggis, bagpipes and kilts but can they build an army with that? Their famous for their frugality but if they separate we’ll know the frugality also extended to their brains.

Livestock Workers May Carry Staph Bacteria from Pigs
Over the past several decades, it’s become standard practice for farmers to give animals, such as chickens and pigs, regular doses of antibiotics. This is not done to fight bacterial infections, but rather to promote the animals’ health and speed up their growth.
However, the increasing use of antibiotics has encouraged the evolution of drug-resistant strains of bacteria. There is now even a livestock-associated strain of MRSA, a bacterial strain that, in humans, can cause debilitating, sometimes deadly, infections and is known for spreading among hospital patients.

Livestock Workers May Carry Staph Bacteria from Pigs
The bacteria may have a greater chance of spreading to the workers’ families, communities and even into hospitals if the bacteria linger in the workers’ noses after they leave the hog operation, the researchers said. Previous research has shown that people who persistently carry Staphylococcus aureus have an increased risk of infection in clinical settings.
