Ancient Flood, the Gulf Stream, and the 21st Century

In another case of our history helping us make sense of our future, researchers have definitively confirmed what shut down the Gulf Stream some 10,000 years ago. In a tale that reads like something out of Lord of the Rings, this catastrophe might have lessons for our future.

AIM Urges Action to Save “The Savage Nation” Radio Talk Show

Accuracy in Media editor Cliff Kincaid is urging Americans nationwide to contact the companies which have been identified as dropping advertisements from The Savage Nation radio program featuring Michael Savage. The ultimate question, Kincaid said in a recent column, is: “Will Sharia law or the First Amendment prevail in the U.S.? The fate of Michael Savage will provide the answer.”

Russia: Enemy of America’s War on Terror

Recently, the news articles have been reporting that Russian autocrat Vladimir Putin has made a seemingly new alliance with Iranian dictator  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.  However, this alliance has been long-standing and is currently a means to discrediting America and isolating “her” from allied nations. 

Clinton lied, people yawned

Bill Clinton is alive and well in his familiar persona as a pathological liar.  Bill goes to Iowa and tells a group of Democrats that even if Hillary was not his wife, he would be there to campaign for her to be president – which is to say, he looked Iowans dead in the eye and lied to them.  Bill maintains that he always opposed the Iraq War – which is to say, he pretends historical records do not exist, so he lies to us.  Bill informs us that he wants his presidential archives released, but that somehow “George Bush” is at fault – which is to say, Bill lies again.

In the Shadow of Steel Mills

I grew up in Hamilton Ontario in the mid 1950s, in the very shadows of steel mills that were still vital and a football team that still won games, the only son of a refugee family who didn’t own a car, nor a television, nor a cottage and whose idea of a vacation was a yearly trek to the Canadian National Exhibition in far distant Toronto and a day’s outing to the great and bustling metropolis of Buffalo.

James Moore…Its Smack-down Time

The news item of the NDP Political Correctoid MP eating crow...make that a double-serving of crow, with all the trimmings…made my day.

Dishonest political tampering with the science on global warming

Denpasar, Bali - As a contributor to the IPCC's 2007 report, I share the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore. Yet I and many of my peers in the British House of Lords - through our hereditary element the most independent-minded of lawmakers - profoundly disagree on fundamental scientific grounds with both the IPCC and my co-laureate's alarmist movie An Inconvenient Truth, which won this year's Oscar for Best Sci-Fi Comedy Horror.

MPP Randy Hillier Makes Queen’s Park Debut

Newly elected MPP Randy Hillier of Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington made his speaking debut in Queen’s Park today. Mr. Hillier began by welcoming 150 visiting members of the Ontario Landowners Association (OLA) to the Gallery at Queen’s Park, reminding the Assembly that the OLA promotes the principals of democracy, natural justice, strong local government, and represents the interests of the rural community. Mr. Hillier then sought and received unanimous consent from the House that “those (OLA members) present be permitted to wear the distinctive shirts that signify their membership in this very important organization,” upon which the Landowners displayed their recognizable ‘Back Off Government’ shirts. Then the following exchange was recorded in Hansard on Dec 6, 2007

New Peer-Reviewed Study Finds ‘Warming is naturally caused and shows no human influence’

An inconvenient new peer-reviewed study published in the December 2007 issue of the International Journal of Climatology.

Dick Simpson Whitewashing 60s Radicals

They always say that the passage of time sometimes dulls the memory of a person's past, that oft times only the good memories remain. More often, though, time plus a large dollop of myth making and lies creates a whole new world out of the past. Dick Simpson is more evidence of the latter than the former.

The End of a Debate

It is hard to envision anything other than the current dual-party template configuring this country’s political landscape anytime in the foreseeable future. For all intents and purposes, the Democratic and Republican parties are here to stay. And save for the few nominal party members who on occasion stray from their presumed ideological bearings, each party is correspondingly beholden – admittedly in somewhat reductive yet not wholly inaccurate characterizations - to its respective ideology; namely the liberal (benignly dubbed “progressive”) and the conservative ideologies.

GOP: Stop The Latino Pandering

Whose idea was it that the Republican presidential candidates have a Spanish-spoken debate?

Global Warming Lies Create a Climate of Crisis

The United Nations conference in Bali, attended by some 10,000 participants and observers, is likely to make future generations conclude that ours was deranged to be discussing how humans could have any affect whatever on the climate. They will, in retrospect, agree that the global warming theory was a lie whose agenda was to # anything that might extend and enhance life on earth.

Christmas Comes But Once a Year . . .

May be you don’t believe in Santa Clausa, California. But then Chico Marx had a similar problem. His brother Groucho presented him with a contract that included “the usual sanity clause.” Chico objected on the grounds that there “is no Sanity Claus.”

Skirting the Constitution

The U.S. Constitution could not be clearer: “No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation....” Nevertheless, the state of Arizona, USA, and the state of Sonora, Mexico, have entered into an agreement, which is called a Declaration of Cooperation. Obviously, Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano considers this agreement to be neither an alliance nor a confederation.

The Lunch-bag police – coming to a school near you

Six children who attend St. Stephen’s Catholic Elementary School in Woodbridge Ontario, just northwest of Toronto, are taking their school to the Ontario Human Rights Commission. For six years the school had a voluntary program that monitored all kids’ lunches. Teachers would check the students’ lunches to make sure that they didn’t contain such things as peanuts or egg products; ingredients that can pose a danger to children with allergies.

New DVD’s Profile Who’s and Coppola’s Amazing Journeys

A pair of new DVD's provide some fascinating insight into a couple of icons that, while vastly different, have both been influential in today's popular culture.

What If the Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness Was Relative?

For thousands of years, people have pondered the age old question, why I am here and what happens when I die. Depending on the answers a person hears during this time on earth, there can be a variety of different explanations. For many of us, there is the notion that we are here to serve a higher purpose. For others, life is simply what we make of it and it’s over when our bodies cease to function. Which answer is correct and how do we know?

Pen Computer Aims at Literate Kids

Everyone knows kids are far more tech savvy than we oldsters and that they're as at home with computers as they are with mouthing off to grownups and hanging out at malls. This "savviness" seems especially true with computers, to which kids take like the proverbial duck to water.
