Bo's rambling state of the union address has done little to improve his ratings in the polls. After only one year in office, the hope and change candidate continues to be in free fall. It also looks like health care reform will not happen this year and cap and trade is dead. I look forward to the November mid terms. Congressman Murtha passed away yesterday. There will be a special election....
The debate over man-made global warming seems very much alive notwithstanding pronouncements from prominent global warming watchers that the facts supporting Anthropogenic Climate Change are irrefutable; the debate is over. Climate Change, we are told, will cause massive change to our planet—all negative. And we are rapidly running out of time. Climate scientists have based their predictions...

Toyota must be rather embarrassed. Millions of vehicles have been recalled, and now over 400,000 hybrids are being recalled.I've been saying it for a while. Buy Ford. Ford is the only domestic auto maker making money right now, so the chance of GM or Chrysler pulling through in the long run is slim at this point. The foreign vehicles can be very well built, but you pay much more up front. I'v...

Just giving a quick shout-out to friend Ethan Rabidoux for creating and co-authoring the excellent In the Bullpen sports blog.
Ethan and his colleagues have been updating it frequently (thus giving it an advantage over LC.com). They have some interesting takes on the NFL next season. Even though they picked the Colts to [...]
So the IPCC is taking some real heat, and your everyday person on the street is starting to get the picture. I have never been fooled into thinking that "global warming" was what the eco-nuts were concerned about, they forgot about REAL pollution in their rush for grant money and jobs. Face it, without a disaster in the future all the environmentalists had no jobs, except maybe tree hugging. ...
I would like to ask the question, which Tory Cabinet Minister aged 42 or younger do you think is the greatest asset to the party? My general rule is that candidates should be at least 50 years old before leading a country, but your 30s and 40s are an excellent time to accumulate legislative experience in preparation for a future run at the country's highest office. I am very happy with my cu...
Vaughn Palmer put up an interesting post up on his Sun blog today about the responses to the upcoming HST in BC and Ontario respectively:British Columbians entered 2010 still strongly opposed to the harmonized sales tax, according to the latest poll from the Mustel Group.Opposed: 72 per cent, of which 57 points strongly and 16 points only "somewhat."Supportive: 14 per cent, of which 10 point...

The case of First Nations University of Canada is certainly sad, but timely. Sad, in that it’s another example of liberal hopes gone horribly awry. Timely, in that it’s yet another indication of how Ottawa intends to get serious about how it spends money.
To sum up the news story: both the Saskatchewan and [...]
Some Reflections on Contemporary AntisemitismRobert S. Wistrich (Professor of Modern History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem)We live in an age where stunningly false analogies, misleading amalgams, and the general corruption of language (especially in the name of political correctness) are rampant. Nowhere is this more apparent than in relation to Zionism. This is a fact which has greatly...

Well, it appears that the indefatigable President and his trusty teleprompter won’t be making the arduous journey across the continent to the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver. But he is, as a consolation prize, sending somebody almost as incompetent.
And just to make sure he isn’t wasting the trip, the same [...]
Oh my, this doesn’t look good for someone who criticized Obama for being a “Charismatic guy with a teleprompter.”
There's a lot of talk about wind power being the 'future' of Ontario. Which gives us the opportunity, fortunately or unfortunately, to see wind power in action and gauge its true usefulness in generating electricity.An extremely good resource is the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) website, which documents the price of electricity in Ontario, the spot prices, Provincial Benef...

Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. John Murtha dead at 77.
John was best known for his pork he brought home to PA, including his airport that may now get more traffic from this link, than it does passengers.
The John Murtha Johnston-Cambria County Airport got an estimated $150 million in federal funds that he steered to it.

Voici une lettre à lire dans le journal le Monde ici, qui à été écrit par Drieu Godefridi, un climato-sceptiques, qui dit que les coups porter au GIEC vont permettre de faire un véritable débat scientifique sur la question du climat. Pourquoi ?«C'est assez dire le climat de terrorisme intellectuel qui régnait, et des scientifiques de premier plan ont été jusqu'à suggérer de...
It was nice to see the CBC website blooming in its full splendor today. First I saw a pleasant column by Heather Mallick which describes why Canada can now officially be labeled a "banana republic" and then I went on to see Kady O'Malley describe the Canadians Against Prorogation (CAPP) as being a Canadian based "tea party movement", again asserting that it is a non partisan, grassroots mo...
The TTC doesn't help alleviate the stereotype of Torontonian arrogance. Following public outcry at their inefficiency, TTC employees are rambling against the public and apparently want to add insult to injury through some work-to-rule action. Where on earth does the TTC find them?
Every public transit system will have its ups and downs, as much as every business has good and bad employees. Co...
So I was watching something on my local channel about some proposed changes to the City bylaws regarding pets/owners. One proposal was to fine people $350 if they were out walking their dogs but did not have a 'doody bag' with them to clean up after their animal.Sorry but I find that ridiculous. I've stepped in dog poo. Just last week I went out to shovel my front walk and found a GIANT pile...

One of the most predictable effects of anti-racism policies can be found in the law of unintended consequences, in that after a while they tend to foster and perpetuate the very racism those policies aim to defeat. After all, cataloging and enumerating every shade of skin pigment in a University is more than just [...]
Faced with increasing criticism after a spate of pictures and videos showing TTC employees not doing their job, operators at the public transit syndicate have decided to fight back:
This is a group where Operators can give suggestions on how to fight back to the recent photo and video harassment from passengers just looking to make [...]
Chatelaine magazine has an on-line photo spread of six of Canada's male winter Olympic athletes in various stages of undress. The picture at right is of skier Kyle Nissen, skis strageically placed. So here's an idea - lets start staging the Olympic games with all nude athletes, just like they did in ancient Greece. I think it would do wonders for TV ratings.The ancient Greek Olympic games we...
I’ll believe it when I see it but apparently the trial involving Liberal insiders may actually start in April.
“David Basi and Virk face breach of trust and fraud charges for allegedly accepting benefits from lobbyists representing one of the bidder for BC Rail in exchange for providing confidential provincial government information about the sale. Aneal [...]
Quebec Liberal Jean Charest thinks it’s perfectly OK to ship asbestos to third world countries and he washes his hands of any responsibility for the health of workers in these countries:
“There are no perfect products … No products have zero impact on the environment, either. Everything humans do has an environmental impact.”

Claudette Carbonneau et les syndicats sont négatif ces temps-ci. Pourtant la mode spirituel est au positif, plus on pense positif plus il y a de choses positives.Premièrement, on peut voir dans cette lettre quel est contre tous les nouvelles choses apportés par le comité du gouvernement Charest sur les finances publiques ici (Joanne Marcotte fait une excellente analyse de cette lettre ici),...

Given the vexing mystery currently surrounding the provenance of Shroud of Turin, it is hope that future archaeologist will stumble upon this post, which should help them in resolving the mystery surrounding the Shroud of Overland. First the background to the story. Barrack Hussein [...]
...is to have the right tool for the job at hand.
One of the oft repeated remarks during the US presidential campaign was the Obama was qualified to be the president by virtue of managing the presidential campaign. It was another one of long list of self-referential statement during the campaign which was devoid of common sense. Financial Times wrote an interesting article that examines the [...]
Hello Canada,For family and friends, and all those who are interested, here is another update on life in Ottawa.Stability has comeKoliah and I have entered our most stable time yet in Ottawa.

We instantly went from making "just enough" (and sometimes "not enough") to "mor...

As we prepare to discuss the health and rights of impoverished women and children abroad with our industrialized allies, it was comforting to see Jack Layton take a different road than his Liberal counterpart. Instead of insisting on funding foreign abortions, Jack would like us to instead focus on the women and children here in Canada living under poverty. To hear Jack tell the story, you'd t...
