Investing in traditional climate change remedies

noreply@blogger.com (Mike) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:48:00 PDT

Iowahawk on the "virgin sacrifice" rider that was attached to the American Cap and Trade bill.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) defended the bill, saying that "it is critical that we do something immediately to show we are serious about solving this climate crisis. Without burnt offerings of taxes and virgins, Gaia will smite us all in her angry burning wrath. So let me just say to the corporate and virgin special interest groups -- don't come crying to us in 400 years, when our temperatures are up almost 1 degree celsius." Pelosi denied the bill was anti-consumer, pointing out it contains specific infrastructure and job creation funds. It specifies 500,000 unionized positions to construct a planned 300-foot tall National Eco Pyramid and Virgin Sacrifice Altar in Youngstown, Ohio, as well as funds to train over 20,000 youth volunteer earth-priests in live beating heart removal.

Spotted at Belmont Club. I don't know too much about this Climate Change thing that so many people have gotten into over the past decade or so. I know some folks say it is a religion of peace. Me, I've never had much of a religious/apocalyptic bent, so it's just never interested me enough to look into it any deeper than I have, say, Scientology or palmistry. But, whatever the truth or falsity of their promises of salvation: I do know that I would far, far rather the earth spirits' wrath burn the planet to a crisp than see these people and their thoroughly fascist aesthetic succeed. Better to be slightly warmer on one's feet than be pressed into a chanting, letter-shaped mob of anonymous, faceless Action-Takers on one's knees.

Jet D'Eau: An Aboutown Driver Speaks

noreply@blogger.com (Mike) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 13:28:00 PDT

Thank God for the jet d'eau which has helped wash away the garbage and trash off the sidewalks. I'm working long hours now, six in the afternoon to six in the morning. Sometimes even eight in the morning, six days a week. Sometimes seven days a week. It's a long hustle but it keeps me real busy. I can take in three, three fifty a week. Sometimes even more when I do it off the meter. All the animals come out at night - activists, professors, organizers, queens, fairies, journalists, dopers, junkies, teachers, sick, venal. Someday a real jet d'eau will come and wash all this scum off the streets. I go all over. I take people to White Oaks, Masonville, I take 'em to Western. I don't care. Don't make no difference to me. It does to some. Some won't even take public union members. Don't make no difference to me.

The Invisible Randy Richmond

noreply@blogger.com (Fenris Badwulf) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 15:42:00 PDT

More reports of crime in London. Now the reporter who re-wrote the police press release is not mentioned. His tagline is invisible. Did the invisible Randy Richmond write this? The criminals have no race. No street names, either. Although this time the London Free Press found the time to report that the miscreants wore blue bandannas. Which is to say Crips. The organized criminal gang, the Crips. Now, the press is promoting racism. By not stating the race of the criminals, the people who read the paper are assuming that they are people of colour. This contributes to the perception that POC are disproportionately criminals, neer-do-wells, and parasites. Given that the POC are already disproportionately represented in prisons, this makes the challenges of the POC to recreate their lives, culture, customs, and language here in their host country that much more difficult. Of course, this is not fair. Progressives and activists like to blame anyone but criminals for crime. ...

Is that a grow op in your basement or an old beer fridge?

noreply@blogger.com (basil) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:00:00 PDT

David Suzuki and his ilk are tightening the laces on their jackboots. If you thought kicking in doors to search and seize property because of little herb was silly, you better dispose of that old beer fridge. Lorrie Goldstein reports: In the original version of McGuinty's Green Energy Act -- applauded by the Suzuki Foundation and other environmental groups as "world class" -- Suzuki, or anyone designated by a government bureaucrat, could, in fact, under the "Inspection, Enforcement and Penalties" section of the law, conduct surprise search and seizure raids on anyone's home or business. This to check out activities deemed suspicious by the government related to energy or water use. In the case of a house raid, the government, uh, generously stipulated a search warrant would have to be obtained, presumably before grilling groggy homeowners at midnight about their electricity and water bills.

noreply@blogger.com (Fenris Badwulf) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 15:58:00 PDT

Yet another progressive coup for everybodies favourite newspaper person, the one with the super power of invisibility ... Randy Richmond. This weeks episode: Street Swarmings in London Town No mention of the race of perps. When my co-workers were discussing this at break (being working poor, that is white people with white privilege who still pay taxes and do not have access to the fast track to social benefits that the disadvantaged do; they live in the area of the crimes) they assume (like the good people of Toronto now do) that the perps are people of color. Indeed, this Toronto phenomena has come to London town. When the main stream media does not mention the race of criminals, public opinion assumes that they are some dusky hue. Now this has been a known thing for some years now. I would have assumed that the invisible Randy would have known this. Regardless of whatever personal standard of journalism he has, he has reinforced racist sentiments in a large number of...

Engaging In The Right Kind Of Dialogue With Iran

noreply@blogger.com (Mike) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 02:22:00 PDT

Finally, the Iranians have given us a chanting mob we can all get behind. You'll cheer as a crowd in Teheran takes a "policeman" prisoner -- and burns his motorbike! Sweeet. More and faster and less gently, please, Iranians! I think I got to this from the Corner but it's definitely at Gary's Choices.

Do you want relish with the super sized Denialism Combo?

noreply@blogger.com (Mike) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 01:04:00 PDT

Yum! Here's one drive through I would love to idle in. I bet even the most inveterate vegetarian denialists among us might, just for a moment, be tempted to take up the practice of eating beef!Me: But "Global Warming is Baloney" is certainly a different sort of message, a more political viewpoint? McNelis: I would agree that it's a viewpoint, but not necessarily a political one. But we're not sheeple around here, and while Barack Obama would like to have you believe that no one is entitled to have a view other than his, if someone wants to stand up and say "Global Warming is Baloney", then I'm all for it. It doesn't matter to me, whether I believe in it or not. They have first amendment rights to say whatever's on their mind. And nobody dictates otherwise.This is making me so hungry...

Да, это правда

This is from fucking Pravda. (HT Corner)It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed... First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics... The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world... These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them? ...The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Up With Cola

noreply@blogger.com (Mike) — Mon, 25 May 2009 03:01:00 PDT

Lead and other synapse-impeding heavy metals? In London's tap water? Get outta here. There better be some sugar in the clear liquid in that bottle, boy, or you're coming downtown. No. It can't be the lead we all drank for so many years that's making people think this way. Lead impairs learning, and this sort of thing just has to be learned. With an uncountable infinity of stupid ideas out there, the odds are against any one person thinking up something so retarded on their own. It would be a cosmically unlikely confluence of random events for 39% of the population to do so. No; we all know that a hidden hand, a hidden mover, pulls these strings. Get your flaming torches and pitchforks ready, because I am about to name names. Clearly the fundamentalist religious bigots at the United Church have been at work, spreading their hideous doctrines through our schools and media. It has gotten to the point where 39% of the population apes their nonsense -- most without even realizing its...

Yo dude, pass the torch

noreply@blogger.com (basil) — Wed, 20 May 2009 21:50:00 PDT

Canada preparing to pass heroic doobie across the country. Composed of stainless steel, aluminum and sheet moulding, the torch was designed to evoke snow, ice, skiing and skating, but to many, the metre-long white torch looks suspiciously like a marijuana joint, especially when lit. The observation has become so common in this city that it's hard to know who was the first to say, "Hey, doesn't that look like ..." But the torch's resemblance to British Columbia's biggest cash crop was evident right away to Jodie Emery, editor of Cannabis Culture magazine. "A lot of people come to Vancouver because it's marijuana-friendly, so I think people who already enjoy a joint themselves will feel a little more kinship to the Olympics," said Emery, who ran as a Green party candidate in the provincial election this month.

Lunchtime Lockdown to Fight Obesity

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Wed, 13 May 2009 14:57:00 PDT

I grew up in the country, meaning I wasn't one of those fortunate students who could walk home for lunch. Instead, I had to sit in a dirty classroom and eat lunch with my classmates. Well, I didn't actually eat lunch. All those mingled smells from sandwiches and bits of food dropped on the floor rather spoiled my appetite. I might add it didn't make me feel particularly social either. If the food fascists have their way in Toronto, arguably the socialist capital of Canada, all middle-school students might soon be locked in for lunch because of course, if kids aren't allowed to leave school property, they won't smuggle it in, nor eat crap after they get to leave for the day. Never mind that some of the schools don't even have cafeterias but only vending machines. Next the authorities will be checking everyone's lunchbox. Oh wait, that's already happening. The Toronto District School Board is pondering a controversial plan to prevent middle-school students from eating junk food:...

Roger Caranci drops the "C" word

noreply@blogger.com (basil) — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:49:00 PDT

Silly hall's killer Bs are now the killer Cs -- "c" as in CommUNisT. Coun. Roger Caranci last night accused some colleagues on city council of supporting a measure that he views as another step towards communism -- exploring what social activists call a "living wage." "Why are we trying to make everything the same for everybody?" Caranci said. "We'll be creating what I call a CommUNisT society." A living wage policy had been suggested by Controller 'Gina Barber, one of the so-called killer Bs whose last name begins with that letter and who have drawn derision from proponents of development . . . Other cities have gone further requiring companies who do business with them to get a living wage, Barber said later. Those who think that Barber is an idealist who has never worked outside the insular parasitic worlds of education, activism and politics, and wonder just where she thinks the money to pay these wages will come from during a recession . . . can only guess.

Save the polar bears, starve the fatties

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:00:00 PDT

Will average weight for the taxation year become a required box to fill out on the form? A copy of your census confessions too? Coming soon to a global village near you. British scientists say the global obesity epidemic needs to be reversed not only to save lives, but to save the environment. [..] What's more, the researchers say, a heavier population is more dependent on greenhouse gas-emitting cars to help move around its people who have grown too obese to walk. "When it comes to food consumption, moving about in a heavy body is like driving around in a gas guzzler," the researchers wrote in their study. [..] "We need to be doing a lot more to reverse the global trend toward fatness, and recognize it as a key factor in the battle to reduce (carbon) emissions and slow climate change," they write. (CTV)Keep the funding coming and "the researchers" will provide guidance for your regime.

Jarl the Activist

noreply@blogger.com (Fenris Badwulf) — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 09:51:00 PDT

My glasses fogged up from tears when I watched this multi-cultural video depicting my distant ancestor, Jarl 'Bad-Eye' Badwulf, the famous activist from my families distant past. Jarl came from a quiet farm in the uplands of Sweden. He cared about people, and about the planet. He went abroad to spread awareness about the evils of Global Warming, and the evils of material wealth. He encouraged immigration back to our ancestral village of Badwulfenberg, as this video clip depicts. He encouraged debate, and celebrated non-violent means of conflict resolution. I wish more people could meet Jarl, and share in his legacy. Note also the supply battalion cadre with the wagon, giving a lift to the foot sore immigrants about to enjoy their new life in the asbestos mines that surrounded Badwulfenberg. Jarl was not a Christian, and suffered discrimination all his life from bigoted, hateful Christians. He also had a learning disability, which was not recognized at the time, which made...

No Garbage, No Peace

noreply@blogger.com (Fenris Badwulf) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 19:53:00 PDT

I was walking by the banks of the river Thames the other eve. It was cool, spring, with the sunset, a light breeze, and some geese cackling in the brush. There I came upon a figure by the bank. He was throwing garbage into the river ... I watched him as he pitched in an empty orange juice container. I asked him why he was throwing garbage into the river. After all, London is a modern city, a creative city, that has prompt and efficient garbage pick up. And when I mentioned this, he laughed like a pirate watching a looted ship burn and sink. There is no garbage pickup in London, he said. Then he told me about the schedule of pick ups which you cannot follow or understand, and then he told me about the rules upon rules where you cannot throw out this, and that bit cannot be placed in this container, and that the surly garbage workers will not do their job and leave refuse to rot on the curb. The London Free Press, I suggested, why don't you write a letter to the editor and...

Creative cities seek solution to potholes

noreply@blogger.com (basil) — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 19:57:00 PDT

With increasingly hard times and crumbling roadways before us, a modern city requires faith. Visions of smooth pathways to work and fried chicken haunt our crumbling dreams. At a recent workshop, somewhere in the bowels of Chity Hall, solutions of heroic initiative were sought. "Infrastructure", the mantra, was chanted. A stomach growled. A cell phone vibrated. "Let's order some takeout," suggested the Deputy Mayor. "Creative cities demand creative thinking!" exclaimed Gord Hume. "Fast food restaurants must be held responsible for the excess weight on our roadways!" demanded Gina Barber. "Companies which target a people's most fundamental desires must pay for their exploitation of human need," extolled Susan Eagle. The problem was solved. Colonel Sanders appeared and all were refreshed. London requires the repairing of potholes by those responsible. In addition to the payment of fines, the guilty parties must be forced into humiliation. They shall be...

The invisible Randy Richmond

noreply@blogger.com (Fenris Badwulf) — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 11:01:00 PDT

I was thinking about Randy Richmond, newshound for the London Free Press * just the other day. I was calling in to cancel my subscription to the London Free Press, and he does work for that paper. Pierre Burton's son is the editor. If you go to wikipedia and check out the latest version of Kathy Shaidle's entry * and lo and behold, there is Randy cited three times. He must be an important, influential guy. And he must have gifted psychic powers, too. He was never at the Kathy Shaidle event, but his astral body allows him to pass judgement, because he was there in spirit. Such is the nature of progressive, activist newspaper persons. He could have dragged his carcass to the event, and found out for himself, asked questions, and based his judgements on facts, rather than the second hand stuff told to him by his friends. But I am not a journalist and do not know how they turn second hand rumor and innuendo into copy. I was talking to one of the advertisers of the London Free...

London Free Press and Human Rights Sleaze

noreply@blogger.com (Mike) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 06:25:00 PDT

Kathy, Mark, don't be surprised by London Free Press deception, innuendo, and sleaze when it comes to "Human Rights". I came to understand what "human rights" actually means, and what they're for, back in the mid 1990s -- all because of the London Free Press' collusion with local politician Susan Eagle to ruin local businessman Elijah Elieff.. Together, they smeared the man as a racist, using the HRC to break him, seemingly so that Eagle could turn his properties into social housing. It was a textbook example of Human Rights in action. All the elements of the eternal fight against hurt feelings can be found in that case -- from crooked media stoking the fire, to grasping, cynical activists, to nobody (apart from Freedom Party) really caring or doing much as an innocent man was ruined by a bunch of greedy assholes unbound by the rules of law or evidence.Eagle's ambitions were warmly received in the London Free Press. Coincidentally, her husband Joe Matyas, was a long-time...

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 17:24:00 PST

Fenris mourns the predictable loss of Canada: Another thing I am going to miss about Canada, now that Canada is no longer Canada, but a multi-cultural paradise of entitlements, handouts, and oozing, open sores of social diseases, is the companionship of my fellow members of the working class. The old world where people worked, and an unfortunate few struggled to overcome adversity with the help of a social welfare system, is gone. Now the controling minority struggles to get more social welfare, a cabal of socialist social services sector satraps work to enlarge their empires, and the taxpayer is despised, ground down, and told to shut up. In the new world, fourty percent of people pay no taxes, so what do they care for taxpayers or their country of convenience but to demand more, based on the fairy dust logic of guilt and reparations?Yet all is not lost: The good news is that those who know the world has ended have moved on. The hunted, slandered taxpayer now embraces the cash and...
