Really Late Blogging - click here
Hey! Back like always, even if a little late with the links to the stories on today's show.
One of the things that kept me from posting earlier was going to see 'Iron Man 2,' with my 14 year old boy. The movie was great fun! It's not Shakespeare (that would actually have been disappointing), but certainly provides terrific escapist entertainment with extremely talented actors playing in all the key roles. I recommend it for fans of the genre.
Back late for the daily post of links both from the stories I covered on my radio show and just important things being ignored by the various asshats in the MSM.
Not much Canadian news on the radio show today. CBC story has Afghan authorities beating citizens on a whim, so it makes you wonder why detainees were handed over without much follow up scrutiny. Here's a list of the officials named in Richard Colvin's testimony. And here's a comprehensive look at war crimes and what's known as Superior Responsibility.
In spite of Canadians being unhappy about the proroguing, the detainee issue, politicizing the funding of the maternal health for women in developing countries, the tories actually gained ground in the polls on the Liberals. The incompetence of Ignatieff and co. would seem to know no bounds. The NDP is unable to take advantage as well.
Here in Quebec, our Premier is facing numerous ethics questions about the Liberal financing practices. The muckrakers in the Bloc Quebecois up to their standard s*** disturbing. Sure wish people in Quebec would stop parking their votes there during federal elections. It's kind of a cop-out.
So today was heavy on the science stories beginning with of course with the attempts to cope with the ongoing disaster in the Gulf. The MSM is helping to whitewash BP's malfeasance by reporting oil flowing into the Gulf at the rate of 5,000 barrels per day - which is considerably differet from this report which went straight down the memory hole - that would seem to be different by a factor of 5! Why is that do you suppose?
A reminder that the consequences of the oilspill will be many. And even small government conservatives will be begging for help from big government. Some scientists think that because of global warming future temperatures could exceed livable limits.
Trying to build food security in the face of climate change. Speaking of which 255 scientists from the National Academy of Science speak out and issue a letter about the integrity of science and the importance of not politicizing it.
Doctors underestimating the environment as a cause of cancer?
A very creepy story about a so-called oathkeeper just looking to wreak havoc.
Won't be back on the radio 'til Wednesday morning but I will continue to blog the news.
Talk soon!
