I gotta know right now. Before we go any further. Is it a consensus? Or is it a convenience? What's it gonna be girls and boys? Come on, I can wait all night. What's it gonna be girls and boys, yes or no? What's it gonna be girls and boys, YES or NO? You can sleep on it. Maybe, maybe you should sleep on it. I'll let you sleep on it. Give me an answer in the morning...

Math Lessons
When it comes to understanding how much CO2 Canadians put into the atmosphere, it helps to put things into a bit of perspective. If big numbers are not your thing, maybe this will help...

Sombre Easter Sunday
As another tear rolls down my cheek, my thoughts and prayers go out to the soldiers and their families.
Cha Cha Cha Changes
Mother Nature has her way of adapting to everything. You no doubt have heard how with global warming, the oceans will rise and cause flooding on low lying area's. In a twist of fate, Mother Nature has come to the rescue to protect the Island of Ranongga in the Solomon Islands from rising sea levels. But you won't see anyone mentioning that fact anytime soon. Instead you will hear how the islands coral reef was destroyed and the possibility that the fishery in the area will suffer. Negative news sells...
This is just another example that proves that our world is ever changing whether we like it or not. We humans cannot and do not control, or cause everything. Although we certainly like to think we can and do.
We are all at the mercy of Mother Nature no matter where we live.

Happy Easter Eater
It saddens me to announce that one of Easters regular participants will not be making the rounds this weekend. I apologize to everyone especially the children for the mistake that was made. It was an unfortunate accident. Myself nor my faithful hunting companion had any idea that this rabbit was "THE ONE". Apparently, he had put down his little basket of chocolate just prior to this incident and it was not visible through my sights. On a positive note, I was able to keep Roxie away from the deadly chocolates, which, by the way, were delicious!
Sorry, I could not save the bunny. Bad Roxie Bad...
Dynooooooomite!
Coming from a long line of Welsh coal miners who's stock and trade was blowing the crap out of things not to mention the son of a Sapper, I simply don't understand this. They blow up beaver dams all the time for the same reason. Why not do the same here or am I missing something? If we can implode sky scrapers without them wiping out the rest of the buildings near by, surely someone has the knowledge to blow a hole in some ice on a river. Call in the Canadian Military Engineers and let them have some fun...
The Battle of the Bulb
The war has just begun and the church of climatology has won a few of the battles so far, and will no doubt win several more. They use propaganda to convince the public how dire their cause is. Distorting and exaggerating the truth is the norm as is pushing for change that they claim will save our planet. Yet it seems that many of their cures are worse than the problem once you take a good look at them. The banning of the incandescent electric light bulb in favor of the compact fluorescent bulb, as it turns out, might yet be another one of those not so well thought out plans. Unless of course you have invested in the Chinese market that manufacturers most of the CF bulbs and don't mind the fact that China is doing nothing to help the cause of fighting the evil climate change.
I will admit that I personally had changed over to CFL's a couple years ago to try to lower my electric bill, and it did seem to work. Or did it? The one thing I forgot to account for was the fact that I went from being a two person household to a single person household at about the same time I switched over. My daughter moved out on her own so no more lights left on for no apparent reason, no more stereo's etc. operating 24/7. I have yet to replace a single one of them due to them breaking or burning out. As a result I have not added to the mercury problem that this change might cause. I will also note that Edmonton, being one of the leaders in this country in recycling, does have a program that excepts fluorescent bulbs at either of the two ECO Stations which helps, as long as people are not too lazy, as is often the case, to use them.
It's the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fine...
Bleakest climate report approved
We shall just toss in a bunch of...
if, could, maybe, possibly, projections, thought to be, likely, probable, chances are, computer models suggest, etc... just to cover our asses in the event that we are totally wrong.
This quote from FARK.com... seems very appropriate..."Report offers scientists attention, bureaucrats a crisis, politicians equivocation. Oh, and it says something about global warming that will be praised and derided by the usual suspects and fail to change anybody's mind"
Praise the Gore and bash Mr. Ford...
Update: That should be Blast Al Gore and Praise Dr. William Gray"He's one of these guys that preaches the end of the world type of things. I think he's doing a great disservice and he doesn't know what he's talking about,"
Over the past 24 years, Gray, 77, has become known as America's most reliable hurricane forecaster
Rather than global warming, Gray believes a recent uptick in strong hurricanes is part of a multi-decade trend of alternating busy and slow periods related to ocean circulation patterns. Contrary to mainstream thinking, Gray believes ocean temperatures are going to drop in the next five to 10 years.
Personally I will take the word of someone who has proven himself over the past 24 years over a hypocrite like Gore any day.
Seatbelts Work
Simply take a look at the picture of what is left of the car in this article. Then note that the only person in that car wearing a seatbelt, walked away virtually unharmed. Perhaps it was just his "lucky day" or "fate" intervened... yeah right...
Buckle Up!
This has been a public service announcement and was not paid for by any government agency.

One World Government
With all of the fighting going on, on our planet, I think it is time for us to elect a government that represents us all. Yes, a One World Government with one leader who decides everything for us. We humans have shown that we cannot get along in our current system of many governments. Here is my proposal.
Ultimate being/Leader: Mickey Mouse
Finance: Scrooge McDuck
Defense: Buzz Lightyear
Education: Little Einsteins
Health: Popeye
Science: Gyro Gearloose
Environment: The Great Prince of the Forest
Early Children Development: Mary Poppins
Transportation: Lightning McQueen
Law Enforcement: Quick Draw McGraw and his side kick, Baba Looey
Oceans and Fisheries: Mr. Ray
Agriculture: The Tweedy’s
Energy: Charles Montgomery Burns

Oh Danny Boy
The pipes the pipes are calling...
Looks like NL Premiere Danny Williams might want to take another look at the numbers before he continues to yell and scream at Prime Minister Harper over the governments proposed equalization formula.
CNews:
Newfoundland and Labrador will end up getting $5.6 billion more under the federal government's proposed equalization formula than under the status quo, says a Memorial University professor.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy.... Oh boy...
R E S P E C T
Too many business's have joined the "church of Climatology" crowd and are now going green. Doing so is GOLD in many minds. They have caved into the hype and pressure being placed on them from the uninformed citizens and by people like Al Gore and David Suzuki. It is easy for these two men amongst many other wealthy people to get on this band wagon. They are not the ones that will suffer with a loss of income due to job cuts and a down turn in the economy caused by their rhetoric and lies.
Now let me introduce you to a business man who does deserve your RESPECT.
Bob Murray, founder and CEO of Murray Energy Corporation: A CEO With A Spine
"Some wealthy elitists in our country," he told the audience, "who cannot tell fact from fiction, can afford an Olympian detachment from the impacts of draconian climate change policy. For them, the jobs and dreams destroyed as a result will be nothing more than statistics and the cares of other people. These consequences are abstractions to them, but they are not to me, as I can name many of the thousands of the American citizens whose lives will be destroyed by these elitists' ill-conceived ‘global goofiness' campaigns."
We certainly need more people like Mr. Murray to come out and tell the truth about what this scam is going to do to the average citizen.

More Silly Science
Do the jokers who call themselves scientists ever run out of ridiculous claims in regards to climate change? Reset your watch Ok... I'll stop laughing now... then again...maybe not...this is just too funny.

It Ain't Over yet Folks
Another friend of the past liberal government has a warrant out for his arrest in regards to the sponsorship scandal. You do remember the sponsorship scandal don't you? Thats the one that millions of your hard earned tax dollars were stolen from you by Liberal friendly folks. Oh wait that might not be enough detail as there were so many of those things happening back in the late 90's and early y2k years wasn't there. I know... you certainly will remember everyones favorite ex Prime Minister showing us his golf ball collection during his testimony at the Gomery Inquiry right? I know how bad our memories are, especially when it comes to politics so I will forgive you... a little, if you have forgotten.
CBC NEWS:
An arrest warrant has been issued for former advertising executive Jean Lafleur, one of the key figures in the federal sponsorship scandal, who is facing fraud charges in relation to the program.
Lafleur, the former head of Lafleur Communication Marketing, is facing a 35-count fraud indictment over allegations related to 35 contracts worth $1.6 million.
I know its just pocket change and we should all just move on and all but gosh darn it, I am a conservative and I would really like to see a little more justice in this country.
Conveniently.... Lafleur is MIA and believed to be out of the country. What are the chances that he plans to return any time soon?
Gone too Far
The folks at the "Church of Climatology" are really taking things over the deep end now. A large group including Green Peace, Friends of the Earth and four American cities have filed a lawsuit against the government over its funding of overseas projects that may contribute to climate change. The projects include a pipeline from Chad to Cameroon; oil and natural gas projects in Russia, Mexico, Venezuela and Indonesia; and a coal-fired power plant in China.
Whats even worse is that a federal judge has allowed the lawsuit to go ahead.
White accepted the plaintiffs' argument the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA, can apply to the U.S.-backed projects overseas. The law requires environmental assessments of proposed domestic projects. The administration had argued that the agencies were exempt from NEPA.
However, White said he did not have enough information to rule on the question of whether the projects at issue constitute a "major federal action" that would significantly affect the environment _ an important criteria for NEPA.
What I want to know is when is this group going to take China, India and other countries to court for their part. My guess is never, as they know they would be thrown in jail or at least laughed out of those countries for even thinking about it. Our western liberal justice system at work folks. Gotta love it.
Happy as a Pig in the Mud
There could be some truth in that old saying. Scientists in the UK and Canada have found that dirt could very well be good for you. Boosting the immune system as well as stimulating the brain to make you happy. This may explain why every kid in history has eaten at least one handful of dirt!
Lead researcher Dr Chris Lowry said: "These studies help us understand how the body communicates with the brain and why a healthy immune system is important for maintaining mental health.
"They also leave us wondering if we shouldn't all spend more time playing in the dirt."
I have always had my doubts about the value of using the anti bacterial cleaners. My reasoning is basically what these scientists are saying. The more we expose ourselves to, the better off our immune systems will be. By over using anti bacterial cleaners we are not allowing our bodies to build up any resistance to the every day bacteria that we normally encounter day in and day out. I also suspect that those same bacteria build up a resistance to those cleaners and become the super bugs that are becoming more prevalent in our hospitals. I am no scientist by any means, but I do have a bit of common sense and logic left in me. Besides have you ever seen a avid gardener who was not happy muddling away in their dirt?

In case you did not know
Edmonton ROCKS! It is no wonder why we are "The City of Champions". Edmonton is currently hosting the Ford World Men's Curling Championships at Rexal Place. The opening games yesterday set an attendance record and the fans have given the players more than they could ever have imagined.
Taking the Plunge
Anyone who reads this blog at all knows how I feel about human caused climate change. I have been labeled by many, a DENIER. The time has come to admit that I was wrong. Very very wrong. My mistake as with many others was that I focused on the CO2 factor, and not the big picture. Thanks to a little known organization that I stumbled upon, I have been convinced that mans over use of Dihydrogen Monoxide is surely the cause of Human Caused Climate Change. It is also linked to many other problems that plague our planet and the demise of our species. I implore you to go to the following web site and educate yourself on how bad this chemical is and what you can do to help save the planet. DMHO.org
