Summer's Last Days

September 19th today and just one more day of official summer left to go.

Just super, that after 3 months of mostly wet and colder than normal with every weekend drenched... that now when everyone's life is geared toward the post summer activities we get the best weather we've seen since last May.

Oh well take it when you can get it ...... so off to the country and get some great outdoors time.

Cheers!

Just Because It's Friday!

Well ... the annual Flatlander's beer Fest is on tonight..... and I am tempted to go.

But after last years experience I have to say that I'll give it a miss.

Too little opportunity to really get the feel and sense of what each is about. Dinky little sampling glasses and no food to match anything with.

I'll be looking around for folks who went to see if anything improved over last year's effort by the MLC.

Too much involvement by Manitoba Liquor Marts and not enough effort by the guys who bring the products.

The exception of course Half Pints Brewing who made a real effort last year to show off not just the regular menu but some of their very special brews.
Although according to the publicity... this year it's only one seasonal and the regular offerings:

Half Pints Brewing Bulldog Amber Ale Canada - MB Ale
Half Pints Brewing Oktoberfest Lager Canada - MB Lager (Seasonal)
Half Pints Brewing St James Pale Ale Canada - MB Ale
Half Pints Brewing Stir Stick Stout Canada - MB Stout

I've got a Little Scrapper IPA on the go right now .... so CHEERS!


So if you're around town and head out to the Covention Center between 7 and 10 pm let me know how it worked out!

In the meantime .... There's Friday Night Blues at Friday Night Blues Podcast over at DMB

Here's What to Expect from the New US Congress

In case you had any ideas that our southern neighbours are getting better government in any way shape or form as a result of the recent midterm elections.....think again!

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington are a very optimistic and determined bunch!
Here's what they have to say.......

"Future House Speaker Pelosi's endorsement of Rep. Murtha, one of the most unethical members of Congress, shows that she may have prioritized ethics reform merely to win votes with no real commitment to changing the culture of corruption. How can Americans believe that the Democrats will return integrity to the House when future Speaker Pelosi has endorsed an ethically-challenged member for a leadership position? Rep. Murtha is the wrong choice for this job."

Oprah's Book List ............ NOT

From CNSNews

...Liberty and Tyranny has been riding high on non-fiction bestseller lists ever since it was released in late March. It debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times best seller list and has remained in the Top Ten on that list for 24 straight weeks. It is currently No. 7. (Levin's previous two books, Men in Black: How the Supeme Court is Destroying America and Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover's Story of Joy and Anguish, were also New York Times best sellers.)...

So does this mean that the Times and the WaPo reading list is as skewed and irrelevant as their reporting?

If There Is Anything Less Obvious ....

Than the realignment of a scared New York Liberal's synapses ... as in reverting to type ... then I for one am not aware of it.

From the getgo Charles (Don't Call ME Chuck!) Johnson, the founder of Little Green Footballs was upfront about who he was and where he came from.

He is a New York Liberal who had the bejeezus scared out of him by the attacks of 9/11 and had an epiphany of sorts about what constitutes a rational reaction to having one's life threatened.

No more bleeding heart love the thug liberalism for Chuck ... so he said.
No more putting up with cheese brains blaming America for the actions of others.... so he said.

No siree ... Chuck was going to go after the bad guys and keep going after them. He was going to build an army of like minded individuals to monitor and report on who was helping the enemy and who was on the RIGHT side of things.

Yes SIR ... Charles Johnson had become a solid, clear thinking lover of freedom and democracy and a guy who knew just what was important!

Well ... at least until a few Europeans started to stick up for themselves.

Chuck ... all of a sudden got really concerned about Nazis and neo-fascists lurking about ... waiting for the chance to undermine his righteous crusade and muddying up the waters.

You see ... Chuck is a paranoid .... and one of his pet phobias happens to be people who might just be white supremacists or might be related to someone who was one. And as things evolved in Chuck's head.... pretty much anyone who might have a slightly variant view to his own. That would include anyone with a blog who has an original idea. Or, anyone who questions Chuckee boy's interpretation of things. Seemingly anyone who is Christian ... because all the "smart"people know that Christian is the exact same thing as being ignorant of science and just a closet exectuioner of abortion doctors and such.

That's the way it works with people like Charles Johnson .... starting out as elitist know it alls with thin skin and bilious temperment... might get focussed for a while on reality ....but ... inevitably fall back into the old habits.

Chuck Johnson .... has a kindred soul in one Warren Kinsella.... as I see it.

I wonder if he lurks around community clubs biffys looking for swastikas scribbled in marker on the metal doors?

Just plain pathetic.

Election Hooo Haw - But First ....

Some Google Auto-complete fun :




















The MSMers have been banging the drum for a fall election all summer long.

It has been insidious and relentless.

An endless stream of slights, slurs and outright lies propagated about Stephen Harper and conservatives in general. The unceasing efforts to hold up Ignatieff as something other than a crass opportunist and phony pretender to a Canadian life and outlook.


Today it reached a climax with an early morning lionizing of Jack Layton as being the "reasonable" man in parliament .... the Saviour of Harper's bacon .... the wise adult.

It is to laugh .... the disgraceful clown who attempted to engineer a coup through the coalition of the Criminal the Secessionist Traitor and the Marxist political parties, is held forth as something of a statesman!

Idiots and unabashed lovers of all things other than what is our great Canadian Heritage, the mainstreamers have proven over and again that their only interest is in how much havoc they can create. Such deep and abiding love for the corrupt party of Powercorp and the Mob that they must spend every effort to aid abet that party of assumed entitlement.

Leave it at that and things are sorry enough in the mainstream media. But can they leave it at that?

No.... In a twisted theme that writhed throughout the day like the convulsions of a junkie detoxing off a speedball binge, the MSM contort their view of events in every effort to hang on to that fast disappearing buzz of belief in their inherent ability to create and manipulate public opinion as unchallenged arbiters of truth.

The fever swamp home of the most deranged of them is going dry and it can't happen soon enough for this Canadian.

The clamoring desperation evidenced in the MSM on this day alone is satisfying to my heart.... because NOTHING is better than seeing your enemies frustrated.

Two Million March In Washingtin DC on Saturday

And just how much coverage did that get on CNN and the rest of the aphabet networks?

If 20 moonbats from CodePINK or any other moonbat racist or leftist group were there for an anti Bush anti American protest you would and did see hour after hour coverage.

If any group from the catalogue of official victims or their self proclaimed activist spokespersons were there in an number greater than the single digit..... you would have it broadcast on the TV news every hour for at leat 24 of them.

But when TWO MILLION American citizens with no other axe to grind except to tell politicians that they are tired of seeing their earnings stolen and squandered?

Did you see any?

2 Million !

More Digging Into Van Jones

Mealanie Phillips at the Spectator

Introduces us to: Trevor Louden and his blog New Zeal


"The really big question the mainstream media won’t ask therefore is how Van Jones could have been appointed in the first place. For his significance lies not just in the fact that he is a ‘truther ‘or blabbermouth. It is that he has a long history of extreme, anti-western radicalism and membership of a network of such radicals– a history not only known to the Obama administration but of which networks Obama himself was part."


http://newzeal.blogspot.com/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Previously at OMMAG:

So you thought Van Jones was maybe a One Off?

There are 35 of these so called "Czars" that nobody had a chance to look into before they were appointed.

This book is due out soon ... admittedly partisan ... but likely acurate that digs into more
of Obama's political activist buddies.


"Shadow Government: What Obama Doesn't Want You To Know About His Czars"

Wheeler and Leitner take readers into the world of Obama's powerful elite, tapped to run
the government without standing before the United States Senate for confirmation,
as members of any president's cabinet are required to do by the Constitution.
"Shadow Government" exposes the radical agenda of the Obama power elite,
and why he has handed them power and authority and bypassed the Senate confirmation process.

• Adolfo Carrion, former Bronx Borough President with a history of taking bribes and putting the interests of his donors above those of thcommunity was named Director of Urban Affairs by Obama.

• Ron Bloom, labor leader, is at the helm of the unprecedented government interference into the private sector. With no real experience in the auto industry, Bloom is the successor of the even less qualified Steven Rattner, who left his post amidst an SEC investigation into his private equity firm. Bloom is a former investment banker who made his name working with the United Steelworkers union.

• Kevin Jennings was appointed to be Safe Schools Czar. Jennings has actively promoted homosexuality in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools and on college campuses and has distributed graphic material to children as a way to support his crusade.

• Carol Browner, Obama's Energy Czar, was listed as a commissioner in Socialist International, the worldwide organization of social democratic, socialist and labour parties.
  

• -- Van Jones, a self-avowed communist-- Is Gone for now.

More to be done .... much more.

The Economic Geniuses of the MSM

Specifically Canadian Press ...

In a chicken little piece Titled : "Bank of Canada in bind as loonie continues climb toward parity with U.S. dollar" ..... that goes 7 paragraphs before letting slip the underlying reason why our dollar is nearing parity with the USA...........

"The Bank of Canada has a great opportunity. If U.S. weakness continues, the Canadian dollar might actually underperform other currencies waiting for what the bank might say," Scotiabank currency analyst Camilla Sutton said. "

OOPsee ....... The Canadian Dollar isn't the problem ... The US Dollar is the problem.

But that won't stop the folks who are cheerleading for a failing economy.

No matter how plainly the US economy is tanking there are those who wish to see ours go down with it. Somebody has to make the case that it can't happen fast enough.

Apparently, the job of the Bank of Canada is to pander to the wishes of people who can't stand to see a stable Canadian economic policy.

Why do they do that?

ABC News has learned that the 65-year old who had his pinky bit off is William Rice. The Ventura County Sheriff's Department does not know at this time whether or not he was a local resident.

He was taken to nearby Los Robles Hospital for treatment.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Department does not have a suspect at this time and does not know whether or not the suspect was a member of MoveOn.org.

"It's considered a mayhem which is the removal of an appendage from a human," said Norris of the Ventura County Sheriff's Department. "The crime is punishable by imprisonment for 2, 4, or 8 years."

Too Much Cheering Over the CHRT Ruling

Many observers noted the critical language of the CHRT in suspending the hostile attacks on Marc Lemire and others.
This changes nothing in the larger sense because the tribunal can call the legislation whatever it wants to without affecting the fact that the legislation still stands.
They may have made it a lot harder to justify continued abuses of the depth we have recently seen.... but that does not change the fact that the law stands and that HRCs operate outside the law with impunity and that this very tribunal continues to hold court.

The tribunal is only another pseudopod of the bureaucrat's club and has no legal powers to affect law. They are nothing outside of the realm of their own little circle. I am sure their hope is that the politicians will grasp at the convenient bone they have thrown and simply alter the despicable law to limit the penalties they refer to. But let this be understood, the root of the problem is not the penalties, as wrong headed as they are, the fundamantal issue is the power given to these bureaucrats.


A moral victory for Marc and others who have been abused by these self righteous bullies.
The decision is only a weasel's way out of being forced to defend their abuses in a real court.

No law has been changed and if you read their comments on the law per sec.13 of the CCRF ... they are only criticizing the fact that the law has penalties attached to it. On that basis they claim it is wrong.

Never a thought given to the fact that the entire concept of the legislation is wrong or that their own little clique is an affront to our democratic and free heritage.

How to fake science, history and religion

Bumped again .... Because They just wont let go of their delusions.

"Evidence from ancient ice cores tell us that when greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere, the climate warms," said White. "And when the climate warms, ice sheets melt and sea levels rise. If we see comparable rises in sea level in the future like we have seen in the ice-core record, we can pretty much say good-bye to American coastal cities like Miami, Houston, Norfolk, New Orleans and Oakland."

This from a supposed scientist running a very expensive ice coring project! Professor Jim White .... dedicated warmist and propagator of fake science.

And for the record the readings indicate no such thing .... rather that increased CO2 follows warming my friend. But of course when people whose livelyhood depends on pleasing the politically motivated wallet minders................................. two words for White "Tectonic Shift".

"One of the epigraphs that punctuate Invented Knowledge is from Pascal: "It is natural for the mind to believe and for the will to love; so that, for want of true objects, they must attach themselves to false". Whether it is natural or not, it would seem that the false – the extravagant, the fantastical, the grandiose – can at times be so seductive that we suspend our critical faculties in its consideration."
