Good morning sweet Soo! And good morning to my lovely spouse who peeks in to see what her hubby is up you. I won't give away her handle she is quite capable of standing toe to toe and holding her own with all. It does have the benefit of keeping me reasonably honest. Had my morning meds so I'll toddle off to rest beside her till the house stirs. Sweet.

The Obama silliness aside, I watched a bit of that program. Sanitized scripture.
The actors have better teeth than our population let alone an ancient tribal culture.
I wonder if anyone in Hollywood ever thought of portraying Jesus as really Marty Feldman ugly. Or like Osama?
I suppose it is a step up from Heston's portrayal of Moses.

The weather experts can't accurately and consistently predict the weather or temperature one week away.
Yet the climate change experts and their anti-anything-oil environazis claim they can predict temperatures 30 to 40 years from now.

Growing up each Sunday night we would listen to 'The Greatest Story Ever Told' at 5:30 during supper on WSOO.
Essentially it was a drama about the New Testament.
Whenever Jesus spoke, a choir sang an overture and then a booming voice proclaimed the Jesus quote.
It fascinated my young mind and years later I figured out how to duplicate it as a young teacher - I'd hold up an empty metal garbage can and use it as a boom box.
Cracked the kids up.
Probably not a good career move.

The silence from the global warming worshipers is deafening lately.
It would seem the buzz word has lost its momentum...along with government funds drying up for studying the effect on snails due to global warming.
The polar bear population in the Arctic expanses of Northern Quebec, Labrador and Baffin Island has jumped to 2,100 animals from around 800 in the mid-1980s.
...and ice is up again, the Arctic has blown away the previous record for ice gain this winter. This is only the third winter in history when more than 10 million km² of new ice has formed.

You know, when I see this type of activity I always wonder what is behind it. Being head of a hedge fund do you possibly think or imagine that he is against this pipeline because in his hedge fund portfolio, he has other pipelines which would suffer because this one was being built? I always have doubts about the altroistic ideas of people with lots of money, there is IMO an ulterior motive somewhere down the road, they do not turn this way for nothing. I would ask you, do you think Mr Gore and Mr Suzuki come and give their talks about the enviroment for free or at cost of airfare and hotel?? No I didn't think so! There is money involved somewhere, always is..

I asked you the other day about the situation in Cyprus, seems things are getting pretty dodgy over there, especially as now the E U bankers are demanding that people with bank accounts cough up a percentage of their money in their accounts.. I am just wondering how you view this situation now, could it happen here or in the U S of A or any country if the Government decides the National debt is too high, and decides to take a percentage of monies in bank accounts.. I have been through a similar but not the same process when the U K went decimal like Canada losing the penny/cent. In the U K there were 240 pennies in the pound which became 100 pennies in the pound or 2.4 old pence was worth 1 new penny. This effectively got rid of the Farthing, the old Halfpenny, the threpenny bit, which in itself doesn't sound much, but overtime amounted to quite a bit. Much as the removal of the cent here will overtime amount to quite a bit of inflation/price increases, which ever you want to call it. I wonder if this is a matter of concern for many on here..

Voiceofreason...once again you are incorrect.
The 'assault weapon ban' has not been 'dropped'.
The motion from the Senate Judiciary Committee has not included it - but it may be included as an amendment to the motion.
Whether the Chair Senator Feinstein (D. Calif.) does that or not could make a difference.
Not in the outcome but in actually pointing out which members want it or not.
Remember that amendments to motions are voted on separately.
That way politically each politician - Senator Harry Reid is a prime example - must declare whether or not they want better gun control and whether they want the assault weapon ban
If I were President Obama that would be what I would target now.
You may still be in favor of more controls on everything from background checks to better identification processes but still must vote in public where you stand on this issue of assault weapons.

Why?
Because the Dems fully know that the majority of Americans have a "keep your f*cking hands off our 2nd amendment" opinion...and that means votes...no matter what side you represent.
I will give the Dems full marks though in their attempts at making themselves look angelic while painting the Republicans as those evil gun supporters.
Good luck Dingy Harry.

Mallett - I can see Ms Wynne becoming Daltons sacrificial lamb (mutton) in this other fiasco. Lets see how many is that now, gas plants, ornge, health care, kindergarten daycare, hydro, and the lists go on and on.
She should have thrown over her old boss, fessed up while she had the chance but she chose to carry on trying to hide the screw ups. And to think Dalton had his farewell tour before retiring again at the expense of the taxpayers. Surely Ms Wynne must be either as stupid as a bag of hammers or it's power at any cost.

Things I learned today.....
Global warming is a hoax
Guns are "good"...they save lives
Pharmacists are reasonable people and really, really smart
Obama looks like Satan
Money in the bank is "safe"
Banks are friends
A thirty dollar oil change is a "prudent" thing to shop for...(why pay more?)
Jesus died of heat exhaustion (or diabetes...up for debate as we speak)
One should not be ashamed shopping at Walmart
Libtards are really stupid
Socialism is the main reason why we are in financial trouble (nothing to do with unregulated market economy run amok and/or Wall Street speculators , hedge funds and sub-prime pirate mortgages)
Free markets rule
Calendar "spring" in Northern Ontario is balmy, warm and you should get your flip-flops out
Hitler was "misunderstood"

It was a heated meeting tonight at the Conservation Authority meeting.It appeared that the chairperson of meeting did not know how conduct a meeting and it led the meeting in chaos and finger pointing.
When the chair was challenged he refused to hand the gavel over to the deputy chair to here a motion to rescind a motion of Dec 13 that had been illegal under the rules.The Chairperson refused to read the minutes of Dec 13 proving the challengers point.
At this point the chairperson of the Conservation Authority was served with a summons to appear in Superior Court of Ontario over the Point Louise Estates.

I'd like to see what kind of bums roam this chat room. I can't believe it, but I'm considering the next summit.

In his last two comments Vor called one poster dumb and the rest of us bums. And to think I complimented him by comparing him to a pure innocent child. Could he be writing his own prescriptions?
