Have a lick for Irv today
Another Canadian who made it big in the US dies...sad. Makes me want to get a chocolate fudge for 5c extra.
Irvine Robbins, a co-founder of the Baskin-Robbins franchise that popularized novel ice cream flavours, died Monday at age 90 in California.

Meet the devil
More info on one of the most sadistic pieces of trash the modern world has ever known.
Elisabeth Fritzl was forced to help build the dungeon where she was kept by her sadistic father Josef, it emerged yesterday.

GM Settling Suits Over Engine Coolant
The most commented post here is on the GM Dexcool problem. Well, after years of headbanging, it appears (former) GM owners have won!
-General Motors Corp. has agreed to settle a series of class-action lawsuits claiming a faulty engine coolant damaged thousands of customer vehicles.

Enviro-terrorists killing the poor
More proof that climate change idiots are doing more harm than good.
Climate-change remedies can lead to greater poverty, starvation and disease, as well as widespread ecological destruction - some of the very misfortunes that they’re supposed to prevent. In our haste to address global warming, we have yet to think seriously about our policies’ unintended effects.
The results have been disastrous, and they’re only getting more so.

Turning on my lights
Don has a good post on the ridiculous Earth Hour ecoterrorism.
By the way, of course, the WWF should award some special prize to the North Korean government, for that government keeps North Koreans not in any meager “Earth Hour,” or even “Earth Day,” but in what WWFers might call “Earth Decades”—very little light ever. This picture of the Korean peninsula speaks volumes—the Dark Ages today; a society keeping its carbon footprint tiny. Of course, in doing so it keeps itself also desperately poor, often even to the point of starvation.
I really like this pic of how the North Koreans keep their lights off all the time.

She’s no whiner
Rarely do I ever comment on the music I listen to, but after all the negative press about Amy Winehouse
Things haven’t been the same since I listened.
She deserved every Grammy she won. I cannot believe she’s written most of her album herself, at her young age.
Calling her a musical genius may be an understatement. Can you imagine if Ray Charles were alive and could duet with her? Both artists hit me the same way.
Kindle: Amazon’s New Wireless Reading Device
Once more, another amazing product
Why is the country so far behind when it comes to wireless? Can the monopoly be broken soon enough?

Noone with daughters can read this without getting mad, queasy, or both.
When Alison Garcia, 16, announced that she was leaving home to be with her 36-year-old lover, her parents could have been forgiven for hitting the roof.

Uphill
Hang on Bob, while the winds of political correctness swirl around your true comment.
General Motors Corp Vice Chairman Bob Lutz has defended remarks he made dismissing global warming as a “total crock of s---,” saying his views had no bearing on GM’s commitment to build environmentally friendly vehicles.

Food banks are ridiculous
I’ve helped out in a food bank, and have to admit, points in this article have since crossed my mind.
Surprise, surprise. Did the people who run food banks never hear the expression, “Build it and they will come”?

Abortion revisited
Frum looks back at abortion in Canada, 20 years later without a law.
On January 28, Canada marks the 20th anniversary of what may be the most astounding decision in the nation&#xu2;019s legal history: R. v. Morgentaler, the case that struck down Canada&#xu2;019s abortion laws.

Where the wind doesn’t blow
This is a man made disaster. At least it makes more sense than he so-called man made global warming.
Continents of garbage in the oceans are killing marine life and releasing poisons that enter the human food chain
Words of a dead soldier
It’s not often you read a blog entry from someone who’s left this world.
This is an entry I would have preferred not to have published, but there are limits to what we can control in life, and apparently I have passed one of those limits. And so, like G’Kar, I must say here what I would much prefer to say in person.
Chilling.

Bucking the nanny state
An article showing the few (albeit American) who dare buck the Swedish nanny state.
No one sees the downside more clearly than Therese Murphy and her husband, Paul.
They are bringing up their four children in the picturesque Swedish city of Gothenberg.
The couple are due to have another baby before Christmas, a welcome addition for 39-year-old Therese to care for at their five-bedroom house near the waterfront.
The couple should have a perfect family life, but when the Murphys go out their neighbours look at them with curiosity.
If Therese takes her two youngest, Elise, nine, and William, five, to play in the park, it is nearly always empty.
For she and Paul, a medical salesman who was born in the U.S., are bucking the system.
Therese is a stay-at-home mother - one of a tiny number of women in Sweden who do not have a paid job.

Mark on the little child(ren)
The anti-natalists are back in force this year, and Steyn doesn’t like it.
The birth of a child. On the one hand, what could be more powerless than a newborn babe? On the other, without a newborn babe, man is ultimately powerless. For, without new life, there can be no civilization, no society, no nothing. Even if it’s superstitious mumbo-jumbo, the decision to root Christ’s divinity in the miracle of His birth expresses a profound - and rational - truth about “eternal life” here on Earth.

Mega anti-car
Old, white, single, has probably rented all his life somewhere near Church and College - all me just guessing at the stereotype of Toronto’s #1 car hater.
Whatever the appeal of the car may be, mobility has little to do with it.
The odd thing is that most that take the TTC would never call it the better way.
Yes, I read this guy just to irritate myself.

lgf: Teddy Bear Teacher Moved to Secret Location
The latest reminder of the difference between (radical?) Islam and the fringe? elements of other religions. Clearly the differences are exponential.
The Daily Mail has more on the appalling demonstrations from Religion of Peace&#xu2;122 members in Sudan, who poured out of mosques after Friday prayers screaming for the death of teddy bear teacher Gillian Gibbons and brandishing swords and knives: Teddy bear teacher moved to secret location as thousands of Islamic fanatics demand her execution.
A reminder why we’re fighting the wars of today.

Tasermania
Put me in the camp that says there should be a moratorium on taser use. Here’s an article that will make you think twice.
The latest taser incident to be captured on film again highlights how fast our society is sleepwalking into a brutal police state

Our war dead
A great site that illustrates our sacrifice in a very geographic way.
Top cop makes his own collar
This is why I always liked Fantino.
A driver who blew past an unmarked OPP cruiser on Hwy. 401, in a car allegedly loaded with illegal drugs, got the surprise of his life this week when he found himself face to face with the province’s top cop.
