I was just contemplating the carbon footprint of a latte. From the farting cows, to the transportation of the milk products, to the pasteurization heating, to the packaging and delivery to the distribution center, thence to the coffee bar, and the steaming. And that's just the milk. Let's not overlook the cooling requirements through the supply chain either. Those have got to hurt.Then there is

Breitbart: OPEC ministers could hold an emergency meeting ahead of the next regular conference in December as the oil market is clearly "out of balance" and prices are falling, a senior OPEC official has said.Sound like a meeting to find out who is pumping the oil?

While we rejoice in the new possibilities open to humanity, we also see the dangers arising from these possibilities and we must ask ourselves how we can overcome them. We will succeed in doing so only if reason and faith come together in a new way, if we overcome the self-imposed limitation of reason to the empirically verifiable, and if we once more disclose its vast horizons.

Nasrallah makes it clear:"if they (Jews) all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide."His is not a solo voice either. He has students:"Just like Hitler fought the Jews, we are a great Islamic nation of jihad, and we too should fight the Jews and burn them."— Hisham Shamas, political science student, at a symposium hosted by Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV at Lebanon's

Sunni vs. ShiiteThis is a widening schism between these two factions of Islam. It is a contest between Iran, now the center of gravity of the Shiite world, and Saudi Arabia. Both are oil-rich, and have their preferred list of customers: Sunni oil goes to the USA, Shiite oil goes to China.A bonus for the winner is possession of Islam's holiest places.Have you heard of the Shiite rioting in Saudi

They'll look at the facts and understand the consequences of what they're going to do," he said. "But if they pass a law, I'll deal with it with a veto."[emphasis mine]This is baffling indeed.

The MSM need not spend too much time worrying about whether abstaining from reporting the cartoons (by publishing them) on the basis of whether it will aid or hinder the Islamist cause - they are damned if they do, and damned if they do not:publishing the cartoons will only play into the hands of the Islamists - "see brothers, there is the proof that the West hates muslims, just as we have told

Let's just hypothesize for the moment that Iran is using the Danish KharThuns to divert attention away from the resumption of their uranium enrichment programme, and in particular, Denmark was targeted because of its current unique status within the UN Security Council.

This is why Mithter Dithers tossed this out at the last minute, before the CPC could implant a reasonable position. The women in Toronto and commuting surrounds were once again spooked.Pay attention everyone. Corruption, entitlement, cronyism etc

I've been in a quandry for days. What is the proper libation and appetizer for watching the returns next Monday evening?Any suggestions?

I have long admired Ed Broadbent. I don't agree with his policies, but I respect him all the same. I've always thought of him as straight as an arrow. He says it all, and says it better than I ever could. It's a monstrous pity that he is compelled to say this in his final press release.[...]It is clear the Liberal Party no longer has the moral authority to deserve people’s votes. It is, simply,

March, in Iran, again. The group says the launchers move only at night, and have been instructed to change their positions "in a radius of 30 to 35 kilometers." Prior to the new orders the Shahab-3 units changed position on a weekly basis. Advance Shahab-3 units have been positioned in Kermanshah and Hamadan province, within striking distance of Israel. Reserve mobile launchers have been moved to

If one is prepared to do something like this in order to attain power, think of what they are prepared to do once they have it.Nevermind Vlad the Spammer, this is good enough reason to deny them power.

The Libranos have no vision for Canada, only for their own bank accounts. They are about to pay for that myopia.Now is the time to shift our dialog and thought processes from what we are against, to what we are for. It is time to visualize a New Canada, one with which are we are proud to associate.Here's a start. I am for healthy family life as the crucible in which we raise good and productive

The mole strikes again! From deep inside the Librano war room, minions attempt to channel PET in a last ditch effort to rescue their campaign.

Speaking of Canada's leadership role in peace, love, humanitarian aid, the environment and all that good stuff...National Post:[...]Mr. Park was intercepted in Mexico City on a flight from Canada. What was he doing in Canada? Second, he was reportedly taken into custody as a result of a posting from Interpol. Don't Canadian airports check for those wanted by Interpol? Or is it that they don't

I just returned from the Advanced Poll. The line was long - I waited 45 minutes before I marked my 'X'.Take heart all those wanting to banish the Libranos to the wilderness - seldom have I heard such chatter amongst loosely collected Canadians. Nearly everyone standing in line had something to say regarding their motivation to get to the polls to turf out the Libranos.Motivation. It was a

Adscam. Reloscam. ITScam. StripperScam. The Librano scam namespace is getting crowded.I read that the Libranos are going to announce massive spending on infrastructure. We know how Librano pork and kickback mechanisms work. Therefore, to bring about order to the Librano Scam Namespace, I propose the Librano Scam Registry. Henceforth, all Librano Scams must be properly pre-registered so as to

I used to work near Harborfront in downtown Toronto. Perambulating during decent weather after lunch often resulting in walking through the arts center. Glass blowers working away, paintings and photographs hung on the walls, etc etc.On display one particular day, a 'sculpture': a little imaginary domestic scene, made from sticks. Such as a child might make in a sandbox. But this was Art. And, we

President Bush has no option other than to go through these motions. I fully expect Iran to thumb its nose at Western civilization at every turn. They are working to a plan.This 'diplomatic' effort will fail, of course, and we'll get to sanctions, which will also fail.My sense is that Iran is bent on provoking a first move by the West, which will justify its retaliatory response.

Some idiot... " went and sent it out with the other 11 ads, and it was never sanctioned by the party, never approved, and we are completely appalled that this went out. We apologize to the men and women in the uniform," he said.And who might that idiot be?

When the SSM debate was raging I participated in the commenting in various blogs stating that I thought the SCC logic would inevitably lead to this."Oh, don't be ridiculous" wailed the Left. "You neo-cons and your slippery slope arguments are stoopid".Just so I can be clear in my tiny mind, what do the women of the Left think of the idea?What of the ramifications for child support?

Damage control: stand down, clam up, stop campaigning. Silence would be more helpful to the Liberals/Dithers than more of what has been served up since the "Holiday Season". (Festive Season is yet to come - give it a couple of weeks).The Nothwithstanding Clause turd was the kicker.

THis is a compelling read. As I research around this topic - the relationship between Iran and China, the increasing tensions over dwindling oil supplies, the size of the US national debt, the US balance of trade problem with China, the spread of the "Religion of Revenge", the picture that emerges is that the English-speaking world is in a very, very delicate position.

This looks like a transparent attempt to divert public attention away from the gun murders in Toronto:While all levels of government have recently trained their sights on tackling gangs and guns, road safety continues to command little attention, despite recent statistics that show car-crash deaths outnumber homicide by almost five to one in Canada.Why couch this in terms of the gun crime?
