1. We haven’t had a really good look at Uranus, the methane-shrouded giant, since Voyager 2 passed by in 1986, but thanks to NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft we’re finally getting a good long close-up goggle at the dwarf planet Pluto.

2. Pluto no linky.

3. EBD LINKY NO WORKY!!!

4. Look around Saskatoon and you find filth. Meridians, such as, Clarence street overpass, 51 street overpass, Preston street overpass, and many parts of Circle Drive are full of sand and gravel. Mayor Atchison, Murry Totland, and city council, clean up this shit hole. BTW, the city streets continue to fall apart even though taxpayers gave a 13 percent increase over 2 years so street could improve.

5. Ever wonder why it’s called The Grauniad?

7. Love this idea from Don Braid’s sub-headline: ‘Brad Wall is already campaigning for another term as premier of Saskatchewan. And maybe Alberta too, just as a sideline.’

   Wall could take a page from Putin’s book of excuses: invade Alberta to save ethnic Rider Fans from the abuse of a Have Notley province. Reunify the pre-1905 NWT and call it Buffalo. An idea whose time has come.
   Buffalo Time

8. My theory is, it just takes too damned long to turn them into good little Democrats and socialists. Illegal immigration and unaffordable freebees is so much quicker.

9. When your primary objective is to make travel as miserable as possible, the need to be efficient is a distant secondary to pretending you actually give a damn.

12. This is disgusting journalism. The Canadian Press is just trying to stir the pot with the headline and creating division with Alberta and the rest of Canada. They should be ashamed, however, I doubt if they have the moral capacity to feel shame.

    “Solar Impulse 2 Grounded for 9 Months in Hawaii Due to Battery Damage”
    “Additional time is needed to repair the plane’s four batteries, which store energy from the sun during daylight hours to keep the aircraft powered overnight, allowing it to remain aloft around the clock on extreme long-distance flights.”

17. Solar Flight MAZ2
    “The team stressed in a statement that the damage was “not a technical failure or weakness in the technology.” Instead, flight managers had miscalculated the temperature increases the plane would experience, and the appropriate amount of insulation required, for the tropical climate encountered on ascent.”
    WTF “not a technical failure or weakness in technology” When you depend on all sorts of probability.. failure is pre-destined…
    Thermal failure is a primary design factor and they seem to operate on or near the critical path to explosion…Oh yes a band aid will fix that crap.

24. Linsey Graham “was” Senator of SC , that state with lineage to the Jeffersons. (That is The Jefferson’s of TV fame) surrendered the Confederate Battle flag without a whimper. The Banjo rhythm he hears may be the same as Obama…
