Next stop... Hamilton, Ontario. Palin's appeal is catching much to the distress of many.
........Palin addressed topics ranging from healthcare to climate change (noting that the Climategate emails made "settled science feel a little unsettled"). She expressed her intention to help more conservative politicians get elected (she will presumably focus her efforts in the United States), calling

I totally agree with Prof. Laina. If only everybody would give a rest to their "political correctness" for just one nanosecond and let some common sense enter those largely false self-imposed layers of "I am so good to everybody, I want everybody to love me, kiss, kiss, kiss" persona, then they would see why it is not wrong to insist that this mode of dress is not welcome in our midst.

Greece is astonishing. The country's economy is in the tank and sinking fast to the bottom, where it belongs anyway. Yet Greek unions somehow think the bonanza isn't over and have called a wave of massive strikes that have already crippled fuel supplies and will cripple the whole country beginning tomorrow.
Ports, borders, transport and tons of public services will all be shut to protest the a

Condensed translation: 1) Global warming caused all this rotten winter weather.2) It was a mistake right from the get-go to use the term, "global warming". It should have been "climate change", which would have made this so much easier to "sell" to the stupid public.3) People who trust their own gut instincts and/or good common sense instead of the experts are stupid.4) Got that, stupid

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. Commo

In an uncharacteristic show of common sense, the United Kingdom’s prime minister, Gordon Brown announced today that flights direct from Yemen to the UK are to be banned. My estimation of Mr. Brown just went up. “This [al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula] is the Yemen-based organisation with close links to the al-Qaeda core in Pakistan. And we know that a nu

Wow ... the progressives are so dead; they are so incapable of seeing the world beyond their filter ... beyond race, beyond class ... as if common sense didn't exist.And you wonder why, that whenever progressives finally get the keys, greater intrusion and regulation are soon to follow ... after all, Nanny knows best.Celestial Junk Blog

Its amazing at how the government continues to blunder multiple issues from airline security to health care and yet a large segment of the population is ever willing to entrust more power to the government to regulate every aspect of our lives.Consider that multiple attacks by air from 9/11 onwards have been thwarted by average citizens with the courage to stand up to terrorists aboard planes atte
