You have no way of knowing whether Herbert is the real deal, and as Meek pointed out, no QB is going to salvage this season because the Ducks' issues extend far beyond QB play.

I do agree that there's no point in starting Herbert against UW. Maybe let him play a series or two against their second string defense if the Ducks are trailing big late in the game, but at this point they should work to build his confidence in situations where he can be successful.


Howard Zinn wrote a book called "The People's History of the United States". One of his themes is that the upper class has always let enough money flow into the hands of the middle class that the middle class will identify with the upper class rather than the working class.
I think what has happened in the last 30 years under Democratic and Republican presidents alike is that the upper class has abandoned that strategy, become more avaricious, decided to go for all the gold, and damn the consequences.
We are becoming the world's richest third-world country. More and more of the country's wealth is in the hands of a small few who are working to make sure they keep it. The Republicans may finally achieve their dream of abolishing the inheritance tax. Collapsing infrastructure. Few social services. Disdain by those at the top towards everyone else. A ruling elite. Perversion of democratic institutions. Trump's agenda simply is more upfront about it.


Price is a swamp creature. He lied about his stock investments during his senate confirmation hearings.
He used to rail against government waste while he was in the House, but then abused his office when he joined the cabinet.


Let's not be too hasty to generalize.  I seriously doubt that any more than 20-30% of Democrats harbour this sort of aggression.  Dial it back folks, there is no reason to be alarmed.


Stephen Colbert should have received the same treatment for his obscene rants.


Good explanation.  What you have explained is that the  justification of the decision has nothing to do with the issue of illegal entry, contrary to what I took the passage quoted to imply.  What matters  on your explanation ---which is very clear, by the way, as well as logically coherent---is simply whether someone is in Canada and makes a refugee claim, which in turn makes him or her  exempt from any charge or legal determination of illegal entry. ("God's eye view" judgements of illegal entry as opposed to legal judgements in accordance with our constitution and laws and courts, are, I take, of ,  no legal relevance. )


You left out "lickspittle", "bootlicker",  "lackey", "stooge", but you got "punk" and "toady".  Trump has been described as a lonely man.  He buys his friends, and therefore, holds them in contempt, knowing they like him only for his money.  A very sad and lonely man.  My pity ends, though, when it comes to choosing him as president of the US. Pity doesn't extend that far.


An ever more expensive limited item!


Nice try, no cigar.. You know as well as i that Killary and her foundation has accepted millions from Middle East countries that are as I described... Facts are facts..


isn't this sick?  yes, joseph should get the equivalent of punishment that he put that baby through.  then sit his butt in jail and we both know Bubba. this creep might rate the absolute bottom of the barrel in there.


The law is written totally wrong.  In addition, why are they not charged under the hazing laws or bullying laws?  There are laws against all of these.  Sexual compulsion doesn't require gratification and is a sex crime.  Once again, sports players are treated differently and they wonder why when they grow up to be adults they continue their bad behavior in college and the NFL.


You said it much better than I did.  There isn't an "anti-Christian card" at play here, but rather an anti so-con card.  But for Harper's former communications director to try to convince people that there is an anti-Christian agenda must have been too tempting to resist.


Well you used the correct word to describe carbon pricing( really CO2, apparently few no the difference). It's a scheme alright.


I think China (and some other nations) is getting fed up with this rookie President Trump's abrasive and directionless leadership, even his people is speaking out against his uncensored  impulsive tweets. Absolutely entertaining.
Best is to return it to Trump on Jan 20 with a note: Gotcha!


Shep is heading to CNN or MSNBC soon


Wow, globe - a whole article of yours that I can ag5ree with wholeheartedly.
Freeland did as good a job as was possible. That's all anyone can ask of her when there's another party at the table who won't come to a consensus.

Maybe one quibble with you, globe. JT doesn't need to sign this pact to show his free-trade credentials. Just coming this far is enough to show that. Not his fault there are a load of idjits on the other side if the table.

And zeus knows what the CPC is complaining about. They don't seem to have enough brainpower between 'em to mount one reasonable leadership candidate. They'd have folded at the negotiating table and then every other country would have come back asking for more.


And who will certify the intelligence agencies accuracy or truthfulness? You?


Didn't know Bern was Irish...


Shelley - here's a couple of questions for you to consider, since it's clear you haven't: How often do submarines actually "Go active," that is, use active soar versus passive sonar (spoiler alert: not much). Here's another one: How much waste and impact do you think a submarine or nuclear aircraft carrier (both of which are nuclear) give off compared to all those Holland America tour boats that you love to see pulling in every year?
.
I think it's time certain segments of the population educate themselves on the actual harm our armed forces have on the environment, versus just their own perceived harm.


Duh! The Obama administration properly took a hands off role in Law Enforcement surveillance of American Citizens. LEO makes a case to a court, there is no white house involvement. Why would there be?

It is interesting how Trump supporters think that the President can order wire tapping. It takes me back to the days of Tricky Dick Nixon ordering wire taps of "Enemies", and break in at the Psychiatrist of Daniel Ellesberg and so on.


Don't know why the Globe keeps hounding her when even the ethics commissioner said she followed the rules.


What brilliant insight.  Care to post any of the "free camp" or "free babysitting" websites you've encountered, so that working parents can take advantage of them?  Or maybe the link to the "Things for Kids in Grade 3 to Do at Home by Themselves During the Summer" page you've obviously encountered?


I would not be surprised to see somthing on the list that mitigates the positive effect of  our lower Canadian dollar. It may not make classic " economic sense" , in that we have already lowered our standard of living through the devaluation, but it could be a very easy " sell" to US politicians and public.
  Its an argument line I have heard recently, while doing business in the U.S


Everybody is skeptical about this bill, except for Trump and his rich friends.


Though we are in the minority, our disenfranchised voices are nevertheless living, breathing voices. However, we are devalued in a one-party rule where valid ideas and input never make it out of committee and to the floor. Balance in our legislature will help address that violation.


He misrepresents himself as a representative of the Catholic Church. His beliefs fit in just fine with the Episcopalians.


"The article says, ". . .the United States already has the most stringent process in the world, involving multiple levels of screening and taking 18 months to two years to complete."

Yes, but that's a combination of a claim (most stringent in the world) with some facts (multiple levels of screening, 18 months).  You're supposed to accept the former if you accept the latter.

But that's a non sequitur.

North Korea? Iran? Israel? Virtually any island nation with restricted space? There are a significant number of nations on this planet with stricter immigration policy than the US. It is by no means the most stringent in the world.  Heck, even enacting a full ban (not just a 90 day ban) on a select nation would put it on a list with about 25 other nations, including Israel.


I'm not.  you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink and  You can't save people who don't want to be saved


The "gun control" folks had dreamed that Hillary's pick to SCOTUS would give them the anti-2nd Amendment majority to start chipping away at the 2nd Amendment.  At the end of the day, Grouch will be the most important appointment Trump makes.......and hopefully he'll have another chance.


Just "a town destroyed." You mean the one my sister and her 4 year old twins live in? Rockport does have trailers. It also has a ton of homes. Wood framed. Brick. CMU. Trailer or not, you go up against 150 MPH winds and you lose. Also, all of the cities along the coast (Aransas Pass+) are devastated. Show some compassion, please?


Puerto Rican Americans are worth more than US$1.8 TRILLION, e.g.: less than an illegal sequence of war crimes and crimes against humanity launched by the Cheney and Bush administration in earnest in 2003 upon Mesopotamia and the Levant in collusion with some very interesting interests, which has now cost far more against the US Public Debt despite being worth less than nothing.

Puerto Rico may be costly, but then, after all, there is a price tag associated with maniacally-unchecked anthropogenic global climate change perpetuated at the behest of a few investors. There's also a cost associated with the wrongful US Federal neocolonial despoilment of the island that began in earnest around 2005. Those chickens are coming home to roost, as credibly and so famously anticipated for so very long now despite all parochial defiance to wisdom and common sense alike.


The whole idea that the public has to pay for a fertility treatment - for either  homosexuals or heterosexuals - is preposterous and shows what insane society we have become. No wonder "liberals" is turning into a swearword.


It's that multi-paged booklike thing with hundreds of pages of print that's too damn small for anyone to read.  You keep one around "just in case", then when the new one comes, you put it in the recycle bin.......


The cynical side of me thinks there will be a lot of arm twisting and maybe a little water boarding tonight to bring those pesky recalcitrant Republican representatives back in line. There will be enough changing of minds to bring it to a vote tomorrow. We will soon be blessed with the "Whatever The Insurance Companies Tell Us They Cover Act".


Rent Control aka the LLTB is a big problem that should be fixed.

Many people do not want to become a LL under the current system. Why? Very simple: it is too easy to get burned with a rental. A tenant can decide not to pay and the LL has big head ache to get them out and will lose 3-4 months of rent. So, that is why there is a shortage of rental properties and why rent is so high.

Imagine if you have to evict someone from your own house with you living on the first floor and the tenant in the basement? Needless to say you need to be crazy to sign up such a deal under the current laws.

If it was easy and secure to be a LL then many more people would do it as a business opportunity and rent prices would go down! So, what Wynee has done is pushing prices up even more.


Why are progressives so worried about this?

Why, it was just last year that Clinton herself assured all of us that she "did not email any classified material to anyone on my email." She went on to say: "I’m certainly well aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material.” (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/12/us/politics/no-classified-emails-by-clinton-some-experts-are-skeptical.html)

So, what's the problem with Russia reading her emails?


Sarah is the poster girl for everything dysfunctional and hypocritical about the far right!


Lol.


Just Google them.  They both have criminal records, and you can also find a photo of Myles Gonangnan on his FB page


I have never seen a trash problem in this neighborhood and trash is something I know about. We don't have to go to Safeway and buy our chicken products. We can grow and protect them in our backyards if we want too!


President Trump's 11 yr old son cared greatly when he saw it on the internet and screamed for his mommy.

http://www.tmz.com/2017/05/31/barron-trump-thought-donald-beheaded-image-real/

It was no mistake.... they discussed it at length and rehearsed it.  So far I haven't seen any apology from the photographer.


Who said there was any "letting" going on. You are jumping to conclusions for political reasons.


I doubt if any of those immigration bans extended to people who had visas, and indeed has established themselves in the U.S.


ochen hadashow! No, only kidding.....The only troll I know is ukublue, and there's no telling where he is located.


Actually, not sure about McCain. But that's old Newt's schtick, He left his wife when she had cancer to marry his mistress. Lovely people some of these repugs are eh?


There is a conversation about this going on over at the Israel thread. People on both sides of the political spectrum are being affected by deleted comments that are civil, as far as regular posters are concerned.

No one knows whether it is a human moderator or a swarm of posters flagging comments. I have seen a lot of new names here in the past few weeks.


Leonard Hyde did not get rich by being stupid and national retailers understand that Amazon's free shipping has changed the retail business model. Why go to a store when you can shop from your couch. Outlet malls, just like drive-in theaters have been done in by capitalism. JL is usually ahead of the curve and has the resources to sit on the property until they can get their ROE


Powell confirmed no such thing.


I'm considering starting a petition with fellow Chugiak alumni to strip Amy of her high school diploma. :)


"So, was the Congressional Budget Office really “way, way off … in every aspect” of how it predicted that Obamacare would work, as the White House claims? No, it wasn’t."

Another example of both the desperation and incompetence over at the Pepsi Center. The Nuggets offered themselves up as a sacrificial lamb to enable the Cavs to strength their bloated payroll and to help Indiana avoid losing George for nothing. In return they would get a player who has started to physically break down, whose shooting percentage has fallen to 42% and is owed $73 million over the next three seasons. As the NBA Finals this year demonstrated when an opponent chooses to defend Love he can be reduced to irrelevant to the game. The Nuggets already have that guy in Gallinari.

It is going to be the crowning achievement of the Connelly era when he hands that stiff Plumlee a $70 million contract - and Nurkic makes the All-Star team. Given the obvious lack of interest by other players in coming to Denver and of other teams in Gallinari I won't be shocked when Connelly signs Gallo to a $100 million plus extension. Regardless - 32 and 50.


I made minimum wage in the late 80's.  Needed 2 roommates and my parents often paid for gas and upkeep on my (paid off) car.  My expenses did not include a cell phone, pay TV, or an internet connection - thank goodness!  I skipped a lot of meals.  I stood in line for commodities and did not have health insurance.  I was not aware that minimum wage ever supported a person, but I think it might have been easier back then with cheaper rents.

That being said, I was unable to get a second job at the time because I worked retail with a varied schedule. I knew other people who struggled in the same way, although my employer was more willing to give set hours to people who went to college.  It would be nice if minimum wage jobs had set hours to help people who need another job.


Unfortunately, as someone who has grew up in the Catholic Church and went to Catholic schools, I did see the discrepancies in how the wealthy and poor were treated.  For instance, the  Catholic high school I went to had a strict honor code where you could be expelled for things that you did outside of school.  Of course the honor code only applied to the poor Latino scholarship students while the wealthy kids were never disciplined.  (And this was in the 1990s BTW).  After the hypocrisy I witnessed first hand, it wouldn't shock me if some bishops were pulling strings for the wealthy - i.e. annulments.

And I am sure that you and many other priests are currently doing good work with this but my concern is that AL won't really help many divorcees outside of liberal parishes where they were already being helped.  My liberal parish will continue to welcome remarried people but I am afraid that many other parishes won't.


thank you for speaking the truth,


"Donald Trump suggested several times Friday that he would not have sexually harassed the women who have accused him of assault because of their physical attractiveness.

Works for me, pretty evident from the "ladies" has hangs out with that his statement is true.


First, my bad...I will accede to your first and only valid point. As you surmised of course, my comments really pertained to the second paragraph.

You are relying on the same literary slight of hand that the author did. Neither I nor POTUS said that there were good racists. What we said was that there were good people who were not racists who were among the protesters.

Exhibit one: Black Lives Matter protests.  Maybe say only 50% of the marchers in the instances I will cite were involved, but consider the march where people were screaming "What do we want? Dead Cops! When do we want it? Now! Maybe only 20, 30, 40, 50% of the folks in the March were screaming this hateful vitriol. So, do you think it makes the rest of the people in the march "bad" people. For that matter, I doubt that you even think that the ones that were spewing THAT hate were "bad people".  Then there was the "pigs in a blanket. Fry 'em like bacon" march. Really fine people, no?


Speaking of "Dumb as a rock" those four words best describe Paul Krugman.


I have worked in Taiwan and we could learn a lot from them. Like infrastructure. We are now lagging the world in infrastructure.


This is no different than the reaction from the Brits on Brexit.  People want to start sticking up for themselves again.


Nanos  is a liberal backer and always has been. Wouldn't touch his polls with a 10 foot pole. You can always discern his bias in the questioning and methodology. Want a nice lefty answer- survey the Leaside Lucy's at noon.


Don't you think an audit the Trudeau Foundation is warranted?

Since we found out what the Clinton Foundation was all about this trip smells like sewer.
Since the Cdn authorities won't audit it maybe Wikileaks could assist the Cdn people find out the truth
It's important to clear the air. It is doubtful that any Cdn Authority will since they are too busy recording our every move.

ships coming to Hawaii not going to happen as a result of what the 4 useless monkeys in Washington . They can keep up their useless fighting and continue to lose federal money. The Federal money 'gravy train' has rusted and slowly coming to an end...


Both activities require physical skills, training, proficiency, the ability to be emotionally under control.   The consequence of failing to do these things could result in death.

Preparing  for license test might just get a young shooter a pretty firm start and improves the odds of good citizenship.(not killing anybody by accident, including themselves).   It wouldn't be perfect, people still screwup in car's.  But we know insurance actuaries discount premiums for young driver's who also have a Driver's Ed course,   Getting better training means safer driving/shooting.

At what age does gun ownership become a right?


At least we end our sentences with periods.


nope. BAD IDEA.
The idea of having Texas approved CCW being allowed here is WAY wrong.
I have already dealt with one sociopath from Texas that kept carrying at Jeppesen even while he could NOT obtain one in Colorado.


I agree except that I see no reason why the Budget couldn't be tabled in April as the Conservatives' last Budget was.


So like women used to say "you have to work twice as hard to get hired" except now it is whites and males in that unjustifiable position. Good clarification.


- But you have to admit, she's tanned and toned. Awesome shoulder tattoos - did she get those while the kids were on their own at her home? Good facial symmetry too - just kidding! Kudos to the tipster and to the Bend police department!


For those reading the story this morning, it originally said "A 17-year-old boy was in critical condition Saturday after being found in the roadway with stab wounds in the lower Punchbowl area," to which I replied "Where on the body is the lower Punchbowl area."  The story subsequently was rewritten to say "A 17-year-old boy was in critical condition Saturday after being found in the roadway in the lower Punchbowl area with stab wounds.”  It says the roadway has the stab wounds.  The story needs to be rewritten to say "A 17-year old boy with stab wound was in critical condition ...." or removed from the online SA to keep nitpickers like me from commenting.


Elect Bernie Sanders for President!


In this age of disruption and the democratization of almost everything, the turf wars get more fierce, as each health discipline fights for customers and funding. Caveat emptor!


That is a dumb lie.


I heard that many of the legislators moonlight as dancers there. Chenault in a G-string...AHHH!!


It's hard to believe you're actually serious.  Start with "8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Bringing in and harboring certain aliens" and educate yourself from there.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1324

The governors and mayors in question are almost certainly breaking federal laws by providing safe harbor to these illegals, and they DO risk imprisonment for doing so.  Nothing "remote" about that, but in reality none of them will likely ever do time for their acts (though they should).

And treasonous?  Yes, but I'll give you this:  I KNOW they're breaking the law with their "aiding and abetting", but I only FEEL they are committing treasonous acts in doing so. They work in direct conflict with the interests of American Citizens who of course foot the bill for all the "safe harbor" policies.


My deepest ALOHA to the ohana of the people that passed away.  Hoping for a full and speedy recovery of those injured.


... while Trump is a vile human being that makes the USA the laughing stock of the world, Europe HAS been cruising on USA goodwill for quite sometime when it comes to Defense spending.  Our support of Europe really isn't the 'big hitter' spending and support that needs to be reduced to provide some relief from terrorists : Israel owns that position.  Why the USA continues to provide support to this 'country' is beyond myself ... throwing good money after bad, if the shoe were on the other foot you can bet your bottom dollar if other countries decided to create a new nation out of USA lands, we'd be willing to die for our lands for as long it took.  To boot, 4 major religions all call these lands as 'holy' ... USA Defense spending could be halved or more if we decided to stop support of Israel.  Really think about it ... do we even know what and why we are fighting any more.


Hundreds of police officers and hunters here in Oregon?  Are  those  some of  the 'losers' you mean?

All those hundreds of people in the State of Oregon who have Concealed Weapons Permits obtained after jumping through all the legal hoops?  Those 'losers'?

 All those people who buy gun safes at Cabelas  don't use 'closets'.   They pay hundreds of dollars to secure their firearms, instead.  And that is addition to the mandatory trigger guards and other security devices used by responsible gun owners.

You are a bigot.   You know someone who is  "unfairly intolerant of ideas, opinions, or beliefs that differ from their own, and intolerant of the people who hold them."  Your bigotry is pointed at anyone with a firearm.


I'm sorry, WHAT? Here's an idea: START FIXING OUR STATE Democrats and stop worrying about a TEMPORARY travel ban in which OBAMA started. What special interest group or previous-administration hanger-on's have influenced you to stick your nose into something that HAS NO LEGITIMATE EFFECT on our State? You say it effects our economy, education and tourism?  It doesn't so why lie? Bottom line, you do this for POLITICAL FAVOR. Shame on you, while our State is in shambles. You don't give a d__m about the poor, the middle class or immigrants. You let your people suffer economically every day. Please don't use our ALOHA as your cover up for politics as usual. Please don't voice your concern over RELIGIOUS FREEDOM because it was never a concern for you in the past only when it fits your narrative. Why not bring this to the PEOPLE of OUR State to voice OUR opinion? oh wait, our voices don't matter (just the rich, the politicians, the unions, the special interests, foreign interests, lobbyists)


any chicken would look normal gyrating between one extreme to the next, carrying on what would appear to be a normal erratic life of running in any which direction with a determined purpose except this particular chicken is doing all this with its head lopped off.  the chicken is doing such a wonderful job of seeming to carry on normally that one wonders what the purpose its head served to begin with.  and this folks is the state of america and its current president.


There is only one compelling argument against "vote by mail."  It would increase voter turn-out and counter efforts at voter suppression.  Since all polling data, including exit polling, shows that the greater the voter participation, the better Democratic candidates fare; be assured GOP members of both State legislatures and Congress know this.

Vote by mail has worked very well in Oregon....far more convenient for all, increased participation and very, very few problems.  The system should be a model for other states......With GOP controlled legislatures in many of those states, don't expect that model to be emulated.


I think the pope should find an empty hermitage in the Italian Alps where Burke could spend his remaining years in prayer and penance, and silence, lots of silence.


Maybe the plan was about "appeal and deface" and we just misunderstood.


I remember the huge photo-op with PM Harper in 2013 where he declared that he had signed the deal and it was done.How strange. Can it be that he was being disingenuous?


I agree with Don. Trading Subban for Weber. What need did it address? The Habs were so flush with 30 goal scorers that the screaming need on the team was to tweak the top defensive pairing, giving up almost 4 years of age to do so? Weber may have an edge on defensive play, but Subban  is more of a playmaker. He'll take a bad risk now and then, but he also delivers. And while Weber's plus/minus was better at +20, he also accumulated most of that during the 13--1-1 start, where I recall him being +17. The rest of the way, a little more than a wash.


Thank you Putrid Pumpkin President for giving us affordable gasoline.
Your personal pumping efforts are appreciated.


"Esprit Dr corps?" Is that the morale of a M*A*S*H unit?

I hear you about the identity and purpose thing. Same thing happened to the Gestapo. They just haven't been the same since they stopped wearing the uniform. Sigh.

Seriously, I know plenty of religious sisters and their esprit de corps is just fine with or without the habit.


I did not mention appeals.  Remember that public defenders only represent those without money.  Those having money cannot afford appeals.  They cannot spend all the money because wife and children need it.  So they give up and live in the cage for the benefit of their families.


Read the article in July 7th National Observer entitled "What if Khadr is not guilty?" One of the scenarios could be, given the photographic evidence at the time of the immediate aftermath of the firefight when Speers was killed was that it could have been friendly fire and it was most unlikely to be Khadr's grenade in that he was found severely wounded and half buried under brush ad rubble where it appears he was shot in the back by the US soldier who had not realised there was a person under his feet.


It's always sad to read an article in which someone dies needlessly. But for the fact that Mr. Finicum chose to come to Oregon to break the law.....He would not have been shot and killed.


The problem is getting worse not better, that means we are going in the wrong direction.


.
You haven't indulged in the same?
.


Think about the orthodoxy you are adhering to. Obama won the Nobel prize before taking the job and Trump is already an "unmitigated disaster". Give it time man.  That's why they play the game as they say.


Right.  It gives the feeling of a lawless society.  I'm sure it's a complex issue, and both sides of it have some truth.  But the idea of people harming others without consequence just goes against the grain.


Idiots. The damage is already done. Housing in TO is already far out of reach for everyone except the one percenters. Any new legislation brought forth now to address the problem is too little, too late. The only thing that would bring RE prices back down to earth would be a major housing correction in the neighbourhood of a 30 - 40% (or more) drop in values. I don't ever see that happening. Bottom line - even dual-income average wages today are nowhere near sufficient to service the average mortgage. Prices are absolutely ridiculous with no reason or justification.


Dave, Great Read.


And the truth was widely known in her home town in Ontario; apparently only poor little Minister Monsef was in the dark. Uh huh.


The Church has budged on the indissolubility of marriage. It now says according to Amoris Laetitia that two people living in an adulterous relationship which is gravely sinful can be full members of the Church, fully integrated into the life of the Church which includes reception of the Sacraments. It won't be long, if it isn't happening already before the divorced and remarried will be allowed a second Church wedding on the grounds that it is being pastoral to grant this.
The Church cannot have two teachings, one official and the other unofficial which contradicts the official stance.
Science cannot reveal what is moral or immoral. The Church teaches that sex outside of marriage is gravely sinful therefore homosexual activity is always gravely sinful as the Church also teaches that a marriage can only take place between a man and a woman. Science has nothing whatsoever to say on these issues. I'm not sure what you mean by the "expansion of the circle of sympathy".


Dermot to some degree has dropped the "outhouse" approach of other columnist this week by pointing out the obvious. Everyone has the proverbial "gun" to the head of the other like a stand off in the "Treasure of the Sierra Madre." However, our Governor and legislature are not as good a group of actors like Huston's cast in that movie. In fact they "stink" at it.


Pain with no gain except for the 1% of which Trump is a charter member.


Chong can think independently and sensibly which gives him a huge advantage over the rest of the field. Sadly, the CPC base is not into thinking and suggesting anything that isn't socially conservative or that puts a price on carbon.


a green BMW huh, go ahead and add in stolen vehicle to this fine citizens list of pending and past charges...


.

"A senior business adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump moved to play down Canadian concerns as he met with the federal cabinet in Calgary."

--

The problem with placing any faith in this man's comments is that Trump and his administration are completely erratic.

Today's white will be tomorrow's black.

Today's statement will be reversed  or contradicted, within hours, with no explanation.

Trump will advocate one policy, and his Cabinet-nominee or staffer will say the opposite.

They have zero credibility.

A POTUS who is inconsistent, unpredictable and not credible is a dangerous thing, for his nation, their allies, their enemies, the human species.

.


This is the same government that has committed Canadians to fighting climate change through a carbon tax. They do this knowing that the 200 or so megatons of co2 that they "hope" to reduce will cost the average household 1200 dollars a year by 2022. They also must know that every month in China, Asia, and Africa that they are building over 40 coal fired plants,  which means that in just six weeks all of our efforts for the next 12 years will be erased. That's real arrogance!


exactly...no one is helping her by encouraging lawless behavior..and not owing up to the consequences of your own behavior..or making excuses for sin.....the problem is a lot of people dont understand the word sin anymore..they think everything goes..and its all love love love..and no trust and obey...as scripture teaches...Christ and scripture never taught us to defy authority or have dis respect for another country that is not ours..or to be a victim and think we deserve special treatment when we clearly broke a reasonable law that she could have easily gotten here a long time ago and been a citizen by now had she not wilfully re entered the country after being stopped in the airport..i have no sympathy and i dont understand church people who are enabling this. its not wonder we have an overlflow of lawless entitled youth and millennial in our country if their parents..pastors and church fold are teaching them they dont really have to obey the law and make excuses for wrong doing.


Ridiculous.


So have I, at one time or another. and unfortunately may end up doing it again. But it's not a lifetime, ingrained habit like it obviously is for Trump. The guy is looney-tunes. I could care less about all of this liberal. conservative, progressive, etc. BS labeling. If that stuff is important to you, go for it. Just give me someone who has shown at least a little integrity, principles, etc., and has demonstrated that they somewhat care of about this country and the working Joe. Outside of Mattis and a few others, are you paying any attention as to who this guy is surrounding himself with? Have you payed any attention as to how this guy has conducted his whole life? He's shafted people and lied whenever it suited his purpose, even though he's got more money than you and I will ever see in 100 lifetimes. It's just a big game to him. Don't like Dems, liberals, Clinton, etc. - fine.  But Trump is the answer?? You've got to be kidding me.


At the half way mark...we are three games out of first in the division...with two division games left in the division...we beat KC back, and take Oak twice, we gotta shot, as long as KC loses a few more...which they will...but yeah, at 3-5, the uphill is steep, but not impossible...after the NE game, we shall see...


Thank you, James. I will be sure to both avoid the film and recommend others do so. In times of such divisions and hatreds, the last thing we need is another xenophobic rant.


Baloney. We have more agricultural land on Oahu then we know what to do with.

And the seed companies are a 300 million dollar industry in Hawaii. At that rate much of our agriculture return is from the seed industry. IIRC landscaping is the biggest but much of it goes to hotels.

We should be expanding the seed industry in Hawaii. They have the money to invest. And hunger is an important demand from the rest of the world.


Balto, can we ask you what you do for a living because you seem to know all these subdivisions intimately, and are adamantly opposed. Are you a competitor?  Personally, I have nothing to do with the construction or contracting business, I'm not an investor a real estate agent or an owner of any of these detached fourplexes.  What I am is someone who wants to see people have an opportunity to raise their family in a real home, with a yard, in a safe neighborhood instead of in the stairwell of an apartment building.  You seem to be adamantly opposed to this, going as far as saying the contractor heads up a mafia organization and a cult.  Those type of accusations could be seen as defamatory.


Unfortuately, Vancouver East is NDP and they voted them in and so they will have to live with it.


well Valaika shouldn't be on the bench for late inning pinch hits anymore..He has to start playing SS..how many more games will they lose because story comes up with men in scoring position and less than 2 outs and he strikes out?


So invest in Europe and Asia


Law makers need to be held accountable for their poor management decisions. You can't just steal from peter to pay paul.


Multiple women have accused Bill of unwanted sexual aggression, and those same women have voiced that Hillary tried to silence them.

If this is -THE- subject of this election, then let's round up ALL accusers of Donald Trump -AND- Bill and Hillary Clinton, and let's hear them ALL! Simple.


In reality the author wanted to keep the wounds open and sell his story. He's probably a nice guy and no doubt some people were wronged but so it happens all over the world all of the time. Like was said long ago "The evil that men do lives after them and the good is oft interred in their bones." This has repeated itself over and over. Again the good, like just longevity for instance and health care that's provided needs to be thankful for and you don't heal a cut with more cuts, learn to forget rather than dwell.


Crazy! Expecting Israeli adherence to international norms is just crazy!


Getting up this fine '150 Morning', I suggested to my wife we go to an afternoon.early evening event put on by a local microbrewery in Sorrento - just outside Salmon Arm BC.

Called " Unsettling Canada 150 ",  it will feature some of Canada's finest dark beer - 'Back Hand of God'

DOA is heading a fundraiser to protest colonization/assimilation/genocide of whomever got in the way of them pesky Europeans when they stumbled around North America?

After ten years working for the Feds in an attempt to run small BC First Nations Schools - one native janitor educated me with the observation that I was every bit as much a Native as he: he says I was born here so that made me a Native -  I left more confused than ever, as to the complex, yet simple issues facing our First Nation's 'brother and sisters'?

Many elders told me they could not understand all the whining about Rez schools.....said that without, they would have re-entered the 'Whiteman's' world less prepared.....go figure.


Schumer's words imply that he previously HAD confidence in Trump -- this despite every indication that Trump was, is, and always will be absolutely untrustworthy.  I seriously doubt whether anyone in Canada's government has confidence in anything other than lies, bullying, bluster, and self-centered greed on Trump's part, but the nasty reality is that Canada must deal with him somehow.  There's a huge difference between mistrusting someone and  demonstrating that mistrust with words or actions that provoke reactions that might exacerbate already-likely damage to Canada. It's dangerous enough living next door to a feral elephant; an elephant in must is a truly terrifying prospect.


How times change.  All throughout the cold war American leftists looked longingly to the Soviet Union. (that's Russia for those of you educated in public schools.)  Why you ask?  Because the Soviets communists were building heaven on earth.  Starry eyed progressives saw the world's largest big government mommy and daddy who looked out for all needs while the common people wanted for nothing.  In reality the Soviet Union was the world's largest police state where walls were built not to keep people put but to prevent them from escaping.  Where a random innocent comment could land you in the gulag or worse.  Now Russia is the whipping boy because the left clings to the whacky notion that Russia helped Trump spank Waldo Clinton.


So true. "He's a billionaire - he's so qualified!" The illogic of that statement makes me want to weep. And the crass materialism - money seems to be the American god.


Yup, but Canadian university students keep calling for a boycott of Israel.......not Syria, Yemen, Qatar, Libya, Iran,....ONLY Israel..sheesh.


I quote the article:
"Seminarians today represent a mixed heritage of St. John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. "

Why does the article mention two Popes that protected pedophile priests and enabling Bishops?


Karian: I am not sure about that? When you hit like that you certainly put yourself in harms way, because you simply are not making contact to neutralize the man and take control of the play, but rather hurling your body to hurt your opponent.  Therefore I am indeed surprised, given Ovie's size,   he isn't hurt more often. Good post!


compaed to the lies and fantasy of he usual left wing trolls  this is a fresh peice loser


This money will go the way of the Clinton's foundation in Haiti's, 5% for reconstruction, the rest to the UN personal accounts.


These children want the real world. They are not asked if they want to go into a  backwards culture ,they are forced into it by parents and Chiefs. Let the children have free will and the older Indians need to adapt and accept responsibility for what they have inflicted on their children.


And if McGregor does kick, elbow or choke Mayweather no one outside of the ring will care.


in the throes of my silliness I guess I'm considering the bigger scope and my direct experiences with the homeless while you're focusing on a micro aspect which may work out for some towards regaining a roof over their heads, even if it takes virtually all their income to achieve it. after all they've suffered I'd rather wave the monthly fee so they can cover some of the costs of possibly a brighter future beyond just making the rent.


galera should withdraw.  keith amemiya would be a good choice. proven leader with a vision and made things happen!! galera hasn't done anything large scale besides being a principal.  will be a shame to have him be selected.  This setup is sad for the children of hawaii.  business as usual!!  what did he do as a principal that makes anyone think he can lead the entire DOE.  we need committed people who can get things done and cut the  FAT in the DOE.  Galera will just keep adding to the FAT.


Put me down as wanting to die with my boots on!

I don't wish to pass sitting in the Pioneer's home crippled with age and wishing that I had only done more.


The liberal belief is that when a law is signed by the Governor, magical elves immediately prevent anyone from breaking it.


Hilliary is going to prison for colluding with Russians. Her silly school yard prank of diverting attentions from her treason by blaming Trump for exactly what she is most guilty of is going to just make it much, much worse for her and the Democratic Party in the end, likely be the end of the Party. "This will be the worst scandal America has ever seen,  involving many agencies.


Jesus called us to "metanoia" which means a whole new way of looking at life and living.  I propose this includes looking at our understanding of Scripture and Tradition and ask if we have understood the message of Revelation correctly or have imposed human values on it.


true but it was a solid effort, Ferris State didn't do themselves alot of favors with all the stupid penalties


The Liberals should pay attention to the consultations and implement a proportional representation system as soon as possible. PEI's plebiscite has already indicated that that is their choice.


She's right only because former Presidents who served before the invention of the telephone. could not call families of the fallen.

Looks like Trump just made it up about Obama not calling.


Fantastic.  Go Oilers!


My lungs want to breathe pure clean air, not heavy smoke or toxic solvent fumes. Are my lungs now 'anti-breathing?'  My opposition to and criticism of our current Imperialist regime are about as 'anti-government' as my lungs are 'anti-breathing.'

Because I would rather a government truly based on liberty and justice for all, than the status quo of cronyist financial oligarchs and global military adventurists steering everyone's future, does not mean I am 'anti-government.'

I don't understand the idea the Federal government, as if some untouchable pinnacle, enshrines all virtue, goodwill and decency, and from U.S.A. shines peace and justice upon the globe. False. U.S.A isn't some fairy tale paragon of virtue.

America is a sovereign corporation run by fallable human beings. Evidence of their severe failings are clear and obvious everywhere. Poverty and misery are rampant. I'm against the regime. I think it's unsalvageably corrupt. There's better options.


it's not only doctors but restaurant owners,variety store owners people that don't have pensions and benefits.


This article is silly and petulant. The president is elected by the states via the electoral college. You are correct. Trump is not your president or my president. He IS the President of the United States.


Thanks to the scientists and engineers who continue to improve this fallback if diplomacy fails. Thanks to the military and civilian personnel who work to maintain it, and thanks to our late president Reagan for pushing the concept in the first place.


U.S. GDP per capita is  approximately seven times larger than China's. According to the World Bank, , the US GDP is much larger than China's at market exchange rate. In terms of PPP, the Chinese economy is slightly larger which simply means a yuan buys more domestically than a U.S dollar does.


That's wrong, as usual.


Yes, which is why I specifically stated that "billionaires in power" (i.e. in gov't) haven't done anything for anyone that I am aware of.  I know those three are genuinely philanthropic people but they are not in positions of power.

I'll bet dollars to donuts they didn't vote for Trump.  Now show me some conservative billionaires who are as philanthropic those you've mentioned...


Per-capita is probably a better measure than using, for example, national numbers. The often cited Canadians-producing 2% is a consequence of low population, not efficient fuel use.  What matters is total tonnage, and it makes more sense to target the guy producing 20t/a than the guy producing 6.


You guys started my day beautifully.....so many thanks!


Good riddance. Another con that loses and runs away. She will be making her bed with the people she supported, either Imperial Metals or Kinder Morgan.


Our king salmon population crash was started by Asian fishing fleets in the high seas, since they normally harvested kings by the high 100,000s. One year Japan got a record 1 million-plus kings. A few years after that, kings began failing in western Alaska and subsistence fishing was curtailed in the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers. Even commercial fishing for kings ended. But Japan continued taking very high numbers of king in the high seas, until the USA and Russia forced Japan to limit chinook salmon fishing and created 200-mile exclusive fishing zones. This was in the 80s. However there are still 1,000s of fishing vessels in the high seas from Pacific Rim nations, both legal and pirate, and who knows what they are catching. Legal vessels that target certain fish species have to throw untargeted species overboard, such as salmon. I'm sure rogue fishing vessels don't give a hoot about what they catch.


I suggested you research it but clearly I wasted my breath.  I even provided a link that explains how it was brought up numerous times before Reid ever got to the Senate in '87.  How is it possible for Reid to "resurrect it" if it was used regularly before he came along?  If you weren't such a partisan hack you would have avoided looking like a willful idiot.  All it would have taken is maybe a minute to read through the facts you were just provided but that would require you to exercise even the smallest mote of skepticism in your own self-righteousness.


The chances that all four of Donaldson, Bautista, Tulowitzki and Martin will embark on a sustained hot streak are virtually nil. The chance that Smoak will duplicate his pre-All Star break stats are not much better. They're toast; the simply haven't realized it yet.


Do you have the share certificates? No.  They are in 'street' name. the brokerage 'holds' them, electronically in your name. Now say they let another client short RBC shares, and they 'borrow' the shares in your account.  And then TD Waterhouse goes bankrupt and you want your RBC shares.

Highly unlikely scenario, but thats how it could happen.


I don't know what 'black privilege' means, but George Soros record is clear for this election year.

 "New York financier George Soros has spent or committed more than $13 million to support Hillary Clinton and other Democrats this election cycle, already more than his total disclosed spending in the last two presidential elections combined."

His son also donated $1 million three days ago through the Planned Parenthood PAC for Hillary.  (That tax free corporation has put $20 million toward her campaign, of course.)


All industries evolve through various stage of  technology improvements and innovations that increase productivity.  To equate the decline of the timber industry jobs in Oregon (and throughout the western US) with bigger machines and improved mill technology is either naive or specious.  The basis for the timber industry is raw material (trees, logs) from forested lands.  The federal government owns the majority of forested land in Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.  Government policies (not just regulations and laws, i.e. ESA) have lead to the virtual cessation of logging on these forests.  It is indeed a testament to the "industry" that innovation and modernization  in both production and products has been able to  maintain as many jobs as there are given that the raw material supplies have been reduced to a fraction of what it used to be and what the potential is. (Not to mention the railcars of lumber from our best NAFTA partner, Canada.)


What do you.mean when you say 'liberal'?


This article is moot.  President Trump already prevailed with the travel ban.  The Supreme Court has already decided 9-0


Despite the fact that there's no evidence for your claims, you still make them. The NYT carried water for the Republican charges of pay to play especially Uranium One, which proved to have zero evidence of any such thing. There's not a single charge anyone could bring against the Clintons that would even hint at "federal prison." That's ludicrous. It shows that you indeed are a victim of Republican propaganda. Why do you think they all walked away from it after they achieved their goal of winning the election? They know it was all for show. But there;s still rubes out in the rally audiences yelling "lock her up!" The politicians are laughing at them.

BTW, Hillary's email to Chelsea was based on early information that the intellgenc community later changed.

The Clinton Foundation is anything but a "sham charity." It's done selfless work worldwide. You're confusing it with the Trump Foundation, through which he paid illegal political bribes and had life size portraits of himself made.


This article tries to say that biofuels lower the price of fuel. This is just a lie. The fuel market needs to be returned to a free market which will result in the lowest price. Government need to stop mandating products that are not  viable products.


With regards to Palin's comments, I believe that she's entitled to her opinion.  However, I think she needs to tone down her rhetoric if she ever wants to be taken seriously.  Her characterizations and obscure theories, just make her sound ignorant.  Which she's not.  But, in order to appeal to the lowest common denominator, she puts on this facade and she pays dearly for it.

I think Cardinal Burke would be happy in the Pius X Society.


Well based on Mellerstig's behavior I feel threatened by him. Based on his logic I can shoot him.


I sure would like to know why Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders opposed the amendment.  That's an odd couple, to say the least.


And there are no real problems that need to be dealt with?  How stupid are our elected officials?  Too stupid to live!


Apparently, Kremmling police may be sued, while Colorado Springs police cannot.  How does that work?


Perhaps that explains a tiny band of haoles could overthrow the Monarchy.


Go on, keep deleting it: Some peoples comments WON'T get deleted by G&M, because they fit the narrative pushed by G&M. <------ delete it, oh holier than thou lord of the comments!


Well, in that case, why stop there?


eh Lokela, $4 million plus $2.4 million for a total of $6.4 for Segawa.  Try figga.  Auwe.


Why should Adam Lanza have undergone a background check? It wasn't his weapon, it was his mother's.  He murdered her in order to gain access to it.  Are you suggesting that every member of a family should have a background check for one member to own a gun?  Would that be just the immediate family? Or should we check the extended family, as well?  All the in-laws?  How about the neighbors? Should we check just the ones who live on the same block, or maybe everyone in a 10 block radius?

When you say "simple," I assume you're referring to your thought processes.


It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.

The biggest non crisis since Y2K. The vast majority of older Canadians are not some massive burden on society and never will be.


Gladys is right on.  These four Lane County Commissioners are rotten to the core.  Yes, there is political bribery in both parties, but in this instance, these guys are about as rotten/corrupt as it gets.  Please let your friends/neighbors/co-workers/family members know who they are and the fact that they want to take away our ONE form of direct democracy; the citizen's initiative process.  I am totally outraged, but not surprised that they have gone this low. Let's boot the scum bags out!


Poor snowflakes...can't handle it when the opposition wants to speak in their backyard. Tolerant? Not even close.


Jade, that makes sense. But Motley believes that one should not believe another commenter. Puts one in a quandary doesn't it, but I do believe you.


The much ballyhooed battle for Mosul began a month and a half ago. The news coverage of that conflict versus the news coverage of Aleppo is enormously one-sided. Why is that, considering the differing casualty counts  over the comparable period? If, as this media outlet states, it's a "slaughter" in Aleppo, then it's mass carnage in Mosul. Yet there's very little coverage of this in the Western media. That's all the more telling because the US coalition is fighting the battle in Mosul, whereas they took no direct part in the fight for Aleppo.

The reason why is that Western governments and their media turned the spotlight on Syrian/Russian forces fighting in Aleppo, rather than the apparently greater disaster they're inflicting on Mosul. Again, according to reports, 6000 combatants have been killed in just one month of fighting for Mosul. That is intense combat, and it far exceeds the casualties over any comparable period in the battle for Aleppo.


One thing that I think should be considered when discussing basic income is the fact that we have a basic income for seniors and have had it for many years. OAS and GIS provide a basic income similar (the same)  the amounts for the proposed basic income test. Many households do not have retirement (or any) savings and do not own a home. What do households in that situation do; do they stop working completely? I think looking at the effect of the seniors basic income would provide some insight into the net benefits of a universal basic income.


ITs kinda a math thing. The people who pay the most in taxes, benefit h mot with tx cuts.  Its just a little hard for  someone who pays no net-federal income tax to save $12K a year in taxes.  Only slightly less difficult for those in the middle brackets.  Anyway....it's a math thing.


Well, it's about Time you were on board....


The original purpose of Armistice Day (changed to Veterans Day by President Eisenhower in the early 1950s) was to celebrate Peace at the end of WWI. It has morphed into a celebration of militarism and defense spending, which is too bad.  If there was a Chapter of Veterans for Peace in Anchorage, I would hope that the organizers of the parade would welcome them as participants.


It's pathetically comic to see a publicly-proclaimed, proud sodomite expressing such profound moral disdain for a man whose worst sexual sins are fornication (not even adultery, since he has never been validly married--pre-nups), and who has put his life on the line to save his country from socialist, abortionist totalitarians.


Were these individuals instigating violence?


I think its time for the Zionists to open theirs.  What part of the Iran deal agreement says Iran has to expose its military to anyone?!  Get a life.


Fair enough. The most violent countries to live in are Christian countries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

Turkmenistan is the first Muslim country on the list, at number 34. Myanmar, a Buddhist country, is the first non Christian country at number 28. Why don't you take a walk in an American ghetto, and tell me how safe you feel?


"Trump claims, with no evidence, that 'millions of people' voted illegally"

Trump is unhinged.

2 groups are primarily responsible for Trump's election (I don't buy the poor disgruntled white folks narrative peddled by the corporate press). Trump got votes from Fundamentalist Christians (85%) despite being on his 3rd marriage and all the groping stuff, who were smart enough to realize that Trump might be "gift from god" and get "their guy" into the White House. Then, of course, there are all the NRA folks who, think Trump is one of them.  How ironic.


Back when this started you guys were saying he didn't even go there and now we know he did and was offered prostitutes.  So pretty much everything is playing out exactly like the dossier said.  So the trips, Proven!  The meetings, Proven!  All we are missing is the pee tape.


oh look, another tolerant free speech supporting ...hypocrite!


After reading through a whole bunch of words, apparently the big reveal as to how to keep #metoo from being "just another hashtag" is simply more men and women need to work to end sexual harassment and intimidation.  Excuse me for being underwhelmed.  Regular men and women should not engage in this kind of abhorrent behavior and should absolutely call out this stuff when it occurs (which definitely wasn't happening in the past, based on the accounts coming to the fore now).  Beyond that, the only people who can truly change this behavior are the ones committing these offenses.  And it's a good bet most of these people are clueless and not self aware enough to be an agent of change.  So, in essence, Parker is just preaching to the choir and #metoo will remain ":just another hashtag" because good intentions can never replace direct action.


Monica, he could get very incensed with your remark. After all it could have been his Cappo Magna.


What's tRump's price?


It's seated under the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic DEVELOPMENT.


The deep state must put to the curb, we reject the establishments.
Yes have the drips been debunked - nope !!
Running over Bernie, giving the DNC editorial privileged prior to going to print, lavish speaking fees, releasing locker room talk one day before a debate, lets not even talk about the leaked debate questions.
CNN ratings are dropping like an anchor, simply running from one hysteria to the next isn't journalism
The establishment created this man, know live with it !!!
No path to victory, what a joke.


How about an increase in frequency and average power due to increased humidity due to ocean warming, which is due to ... ? Golly! Didn't think of that, even though it's been mentioned by every hurricane expert on the tube for weeks. Do you know the difference between a fluctuation and a trend? A single anomalous event is meaningless. BTW, how did they measure 200 mph wind speeds in the 18th century?


You quote propaganda from the vegan lobby and then call normal people "brainwashed". Gotcha.


Could not agree with you more. Exclude the Northern Cape and a very different picture emerges.


He DID do little work if he left no written record of work accomplished.
We must infer that he glad handled LNG industry representatives and spoke in platitudes about nothing.
Which was exactly what he was hired to do by the chieftess of speaking and doing nothing: former Premier Clark herself.


Don't you hear slamming doors, talking at night, cigarette smoke wafting up from 5 floors bellow, sheep head stew or drunks on the balconies?


"It was a poor plan to wait 13 years without changing the rent."   How could anything over the last thirteen years been a bad idea given the political majority  in charge of Alaska over most of that time ?  That simply is not possible because all bad things happening in Alaska started with the inauguration of Bill Walker.  Before then all was perfect and no seeds of fiscal destruction were planted by any former Legislature or Governor.  Such talk is defeatist and nothing but a vicious rumor.   But fear not, because perfection will return when the party that then and now controls the legislature again controls the Executive Branch.  You betcha!........


What happened to the previously posted comments, mine among them?


Because the post is so ridiculously hysterical and over the top that I felt the poster needed a reminder to get real. Anyone who thinks that the author is a "fundamentalist" when there is no evidence to support that is clearly in need of some sober second thought.


Monsignors became an endangered species in Peoria under Myers' predecessor, who made none in his twenty years as bishop, even though he himself mad been a monsignor!  But Myers generously rewarded his buddies, including a couple of them later identified as pedophiles.  Oops!  So, becoming a monsignor in Myers' Peoria was a mixed bag, but still fit the stereotype of "candy for the children."  But as the old story goes, we know that God is a UIUC alum because the sun is orange, and the sky in blue!  Meanwhile, I very much enjoy your posts here!  Keep up your good work, please!


I have zero respect for some of the old order Republicans who are kow towing to Mr Trump, John McCain in particular comes to mind.


Wonder if  Anderson bringing up his concerns about this planned condo development is just a signal to the developer to pass out more brown envelopes of appreciation.


What I have judged is your error, I have not "condemned" you, the Bible will do that on its own. If you say 2+2 = 8 I will say you are wrong, just as I stated your definition of a Church is wrong. We are to judge with a righteous standard, I am quite surprised I would even have to say that to a person who claims to be a Christian.


I didn't think Etobicoke still existed as a municipality.  I thought it went away with that fantastical cost saving move called amalgamation.

Is this another example of amalgamation cost savings?


Only way Obama could of escaped prosecution for 8 years of unconstitutionally spying on the American people would of been if his side won the election. They lost.


So does the money just sit in an account? Does nobody get it now?


I demand that you give me $15 and if all you are willing to give me is $10 then I will take nothing.


I must come clean. Donald Trump groped me several years ago but I'd be happy to drop the allegation if only he would 'donate' a sizable 'pain and suffering' gesture of say, $850,000 to ease my tormented soul and humiliation.


No way it would have all puked out in the air, with that many cylinders on a recip engine, sucked a valve maybe


Are you seriously comparing BLM to white supremacists?


What would their reaction be if instead of Russia, it involved  N. Korea?   Would be interesting eh?


I own a footwear store and this story makes me sad and angry.

The idea that women have to go through physical agony during the day is ridiculous.  I can see someone being physically exhausted if they need to lift or move items all day.  High heel shoes  in a professional setting, however, serve no useful purpose.   I have nothing against heels.  Love them, own them and sell them.
However, when I am on my feet for more than 2 hours, I wear shoes that have comfort features.  Sometimes a lower heel helps comfort and/ or the material and quality of the shoe.  The insole properties. The shape of the instep and toe of the shoe etc.
There are many great shoe brands that look gorgeous at work.  Some have a lower heels and look great.

The rules should, of course, be the same for males and females in a work place.  If it is a professional setting, it might be that the shoes must be tidy, clean and not sneakers or sandals.  Whatever the rule, it should increase comfort and productivity.


Throne speeches are ALWAYS PR exercises. The proof of the pudding is in the budget where you find out what promises the government will keep and more importantly how WE will pay for the privilege of those promises being kept.


* The City's new proposed increase in the Bus fare to $2.75 and $70 a month pass !- needs to be Stopped ! This hurts our most vulnerable: working families, disabled & students. Affordable Public Transportation is key to getting out of Poverty.
-----
Sorry. The City won't be able to help it.
When trains begin running, the Bus fare and monthly pass could both double up.
That's because the city has to subsidize rail on top of bus.

Why do you use the terms "elites" and politicians like Trump? Who are "elites" in your view? Scientists? Anti-Racists?  If you're asking the question as to how immigration is good for you are you also leaving out the question "how can we help people in need?"  Does everything only have to be good for you?  I'm glad the U.S. has Trump before we have Leitch.  It'll give us lots of time to reflect on who Canadians want to be.


Any threshold value is arbitrary, and will be subject to endless "too-high or too-low?" arguments.  As an example, just look at the R600 000 income threshold set up for student assistance under the #FeesMustFall banner.  That just started out as a "fer-instance" figure during early discussions, and somehow got elevated to the status of a gospel-given absolute number, and got built into the formality of the outcome.


I find that Economist graph to be absurd, when dealing with ISIS fighters from the west. After all, it should measure number of fighters per Muslim population, not overall population. It is fairly obvious that the most non Muslims in the USA, UK, etc will and can never join ISIS.


You've imagined for yourself a fantasy where your 'role' is to be the hero in that fantasy scenario you've cooked up for yourself.

And then you called attention to your fantasy and by extension, attention to yourself, by declaring 'look at me', I'm a gonna be a hero and here's how.'

That's as good a reason as any to deny you the gun.

If you're still playing role playing games in your head, you shouldn't be armed with anything  more lethal than a cap gun.


I understand - you're not interested in facts.  Canadian voters are.


"70% of the federal money that propped it up "disappeared" . To clarify, you mean it was provided by the Federal govt. but now that subsidy is being eliminated.


Good article. Seriously disturbing.


Perhaps the fact she didn't hear anything is because there were no stories to tell. People didn't regale her with tales of woe became they didn't have such tales until a big pile of money  was put on the table if they could say they were abused.


I see no problem with this accommodation in a Muslim school. Non-denominational public schools are, however, not the place for the practice of non-secular rituals. Organized prayers have been eliminated in these classrooms as have most religious observances as diversity has grown there. To re-institute non-secular practices further to pressure from one particular creed would be a divisive step backwards.


Asinine comment.


Its disgraceful to allow the federal government to control our healthcare.


Tough guy, huh? LOL.


"I believe our dollar should be at par or better than the US Dollar, after all they printed Trillions of them over the last few years and still people reward them, it is beyond my understanding"

Money supply growth - post 2009 - has averaged mid single digits in the US.  Yes, there has been lots of bond buying by the FED, which jams liquidity into the banking system ....but you need solid loan growth to drive money supply growth...and that has been largely missing.


"expected to fill corrections post"

The VVicked VVitch of Ontariowe and the rest of the breathtakingly corrupt McWynnety kleptocracy shouldn't be filling posts for corrections, they should soon be residing in those institutions....


" At this point the only thing newsworthy would be the Liberals actually meeting one of their promises."
Well - I for one hope they don't meet any of their promises - it wold bankrupt the country ! Or create a tax payer revolt. Or both !
Yeah Trudeau - no promises met - waaay to go  ,-)


3500 rides per day at $45X365 days a year = $57,487,500. Frysztaki states it's more than $45 per ride.


How could it be a "security" breach if a drunk was able to wander in?  It sounds like the NDP had Naomi and Avi in charge of "security".


I think it's great that Tom Morphet is committed to public service by running. He certainly would be a very well informed council member after years of reporting.


Rail disgrace in the midst of Congress taking the first step in fixing health care.  205 million pissed away by Dems in Hawaii on that.  Still, nothing compared to the rail boondoggle that is now headed to 10 billion.  Wake up Hawaii.  Your nanny state allegiance to big government bureaucracy, and unions is killing us.


awww, you want to live away from the city for whatever reason...then you want to cry when you don't have city resources. Come on.


I agree with Alaska's First Lady that the Alaska Legislature should vote on and pass HB27 and HB200 before this legislative session ends. Santa Claus - North Pole - Alaska

To Emily Tousaw -  I agree, the use of the word "charm" for a women, particularly Chrystia Freeland, is offensive.  Better use would be:  "Canada's embarrassing joke of a Prime Minister built his reputation on his ability to charm the gullible".


If it is acceptable for ethnicity to be a criterion for appointment to the SCC when a particular social, political or economic agenda is current and being promoted by the government, then it must also be acceptable when a different agenda is being promoted.

Who decides which agenda are acceptable?  What if the case you bring before the court is at odds with the agenda du jour?


Good idea!


If President Obama had whined and thrown a hissy fit every time he was treated with disrespect or outright racism by the GOP or Fox News or Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter or any number of others; it would have taken up all his time and energy. Which by the way, appears to be exactly what T rump spends most of time doing. Whining and crying! What a pitiful little boy! Obama did exactly what such behavior by others called for as President. He ignored them and got on the job. Put your big boy panties on Donny and stop acting like a little boy!


I start work early, finish late, run successful projects, and start and manage additional work to assist the organisation on my own initiative.  Yet I sit in meetings and make suggestions and they are ignored or I'm belittled: Suggestions which are based on current feedback, examples of it succeeding in other spaces, and almost 10years experience, while the person criticising them does not have qualifications in the field or experience of running the current or similar projects.  And more than once when I've asked why we should go with their suggestion instead, the answer is "because I say so".  There are lazy people, and there are entitled people, but I'm sick of “leaders” shutting down alternative opinions, preventing innovative work, and belittling great employees just because they have the power to do so.  Nomatter's point is that in most workplaces respect isn't earned, so let’s stop pretending that’s the case and stop making excuses for poor leadership


wiliki: "It's CYA time for Lopresti. He's afraid of the Republican voters in his district."

Or, you know, the citizens and taxpayers.  The out of control corporate welfare and waste this train project became doesn't represent democrat values either.  Just plugged-in insider values.


Two of the states you alluded to substituted a divine entity for the state itself; the state itself was God. The idea that those states committed horrific atrocities because of atheism is a straw man.

Show me a state that has cast off religion, cast off totalitarianism, and led by the principles of the enlightenment, of Jefferson, of Paine, and still committed atrocities, then you might have an argument. But as it is, your argument falls flat.

BTW... Hitler made extensive reference in Mein Kampf of "doing God's work" by expelling the Jews from Germany. The first treaty reached by the Third Reich with another sovereign state was with the Vatican, just six months after Hitler became Chancellor. And "Gott Mit Uns" ("God With Us") was part of the Wermacht uniform. (It was engraved on a belt buckle.)

I could go on...


I sure wish there was a block head emoji.  It could be square with a stupid expression on it's face.


Camai,
I was going to put up my sarcastic comment about sending them to Hawaii where it's warm but the sad truth is that Hawaii has a huge homelessness problem. Their problem is a bit different then other places, which is even sadder. The influx of new comers with money has priced the homes, rentals, and land out of reach for Hawaiian people. It is hoped that with federal legislation that a Land Settlement Act similar but better then Alaska's, can give them a place to live.  I lived there about 47 years ago and it was a problem then, most of the locals had to work two or three jobs and families lived with extended families. It has only gotten worse !


So when do the Bill Graham, Jean Chretien, Paul Martin , John Baird and Stephen Harper and the FSOs and CSIS officials responsible for his illegal and prolonged detention at GITMO apologise?
Perhaps it is comforting that Canada has "apologised" in the abstract but real people made these decisions and there were crucial junctures along the way that demonstrate they chose one path when several choices - including the right ones - were open to them.
Did they capitulate to American pressure? Did they engage in willful blindness? Were they ignorant of the law? Or were they involved in deception? Or was it merely the "fog of war"?
In some ways all of the above likely are true. After all, some of these officials turned a blind eye to the Afghan detainee abuse scandal and tried to cover it up from public scrutiny.
We forget that the Harper's government proroguing and collapse in 2006 was a result of this coverup. Real leaders would have resigned.


Many francophones have tried to protect his plaque but the far left have so much crying that the Government of Canada withdrew it  close

Greetings.....while I was reading and assimilating this article I thought to myself how much Rep.Paul Ryan's new Republican budget does not  embrace our family values!  This man goes home every weekend to his family and is a practicing Catholic.  Rep Ryan needs a Jesuit retreat on the Beatitudes and the proper use of them as practicing Catholic!


In making his case for Boucher Austin stopped just short of calling the NCAA administrators a group of dunderheads...he should have just went ahead and said it as no one would ever hold it against him...


This is no longer a fiscal or budget issue; it's a party issue. Democrats -vs- Republicans, and nobody is willing to concede, budge. or compromise. They have all forgotten that they work FOR the people.


Lawyer says he’ll appeal coffee farmer’s deportation because this is no longer  a page one tear jerker. He should be trying to get his client legal citizenship.


I'm with you when it comes to constructive discourse, but there's a big difference between that and bizarre, stream-of-consciousness rambling!!
(though I was entertained by the article, in the same way as, say, I would be entertained by a clown car crashing into a mime in slow-motion - it was weird, unbelievable and something you wouldn't expect to experience unless you were taking some serious mind-altering drugs!) :-)

Still, five times.... that's some serious hallucinations right there, I'm just sayin'!!


Thanks for the explanation Einstein.  So you feel Oahu is not a tiny geographic space?  You want Oahu to look like Tokyo?  Are you a newbie or a long time resident here?  A newbie doesn't have a clue of what has transpired here.  We CAN stop the over population by stopping the development.  You pretend to "understand" and yet YOU don't even have the solutions.  What's not going away?  Define "It's".....buddy!


There is no free market.


A big question is: how did they arrive at $10,500,000?

David Milgaard only received $10M, and his award should really be the high water mark.  16 years old, falsely accused, wrongfully convicted and 23 years in the slammer.  Innocent.

Maher Arar at $10.5, while perhaps not quite as straightforward, had an apparently innocent man thrown under the bus by the intelligence services.  Apology & compensation certainly deserved.

Omar Khadr at $10.5M is scarcely equivalent to the above two cases.  Regardless of what may or may not have transpired on the battlefield, he was fighting against the country of his citizenship and happily making IEDs to harm Canadians and our allies.

At minimum, this should have massively reduced the amount paid (in accordance with legal principles/precedent) and have also shifted much of the liability to the Americans.

Canadians are owed a complete explanation --


xbt, you were almost 100% right.  The report was made by CNN and was based on "two people briefed on the discussions."  The story's title is "Sources: White House lawyers research impeachment," but it says in the report that a White House official said "it's not true" and that an outside attorney close to the office of White House counsel Don McGahn cast doubt on impeachment preparations.  Unfortunately, most people reacting to the allegation do not know that because they never read more than a story's title.


And the military.


Lemme see , whose legal opinion do I trust more, Sean Spicier or Doug Chins......


There is a precise legal process involved in gaining an eviction, and it has to be followed to the letter if you want a successful outcome.  In many cases, tenants argue emotional issues in their attempt to forestall evictions.  If the law has been followed, these have no bearing.


Local humane societies see this all the time.


4:20, is that the whole story?  they just "pull in" 2 mil a year plus a "surplus" $100k?  what does that even mean?  i'm sure you looked into the taking in  of money in and money out  of the OCF.


Wow, register guard you no nothing of good cannabis.  This is probably the worse place in Oregon and you keep going there.  Get a clue because your making yourself and Eugene look bad.


I agree with your analysis. I think the problem is that Trevor may be on the bottom end of mediocre as a starting NFL QB. There is a solid team built around him right now. Perfect, no way, but very strong in many areas of the game. Unfortunately, his play brings to light this teams most glaring weakness; the offensive line. He's not capable of lifting the line or covering for them like we saw with Manning; not trying to compare him with Manning just using Peyton as the most familiar example.

If you look at Siemian, the Broncos can really only win games a certain way. Get up early so your defense can be more aggressive; rely on that defense to create turnovers or points; rely on the defense to keep the opponent off the board or to field goals; have a solid running game that keys to his play action strength; play mistake free on offense.

Unfortunately, not every game is going to play out this way and when it doesn't his weaknesses become even more exposed.


Thanks for your reply. But who is condemning all Muslims? As individuals, Muslims are as good or bad as the rest of us. But they are shackled to a scripture that defines Islam, a system that forbids free thought and expression, i.e. apostasy and "blasphemy". (It's worth noting that at least one Canadian imam has called for the mockery of religious figures to be criminalized.)

In this respect, Islam is not like other "faith groups". One is born into it and forbidden to leave or to renounce its nastier tenets. That's part of what makes it so frightening to those raised in Western traditions forged during the Enlightenment.


Incorrect.
I said: "Traffic does follow the path of least resistance. That is why traffic calming is needed in neighborhoods."
You said: "You’ll only see more cross-cutting through neighborhoods because more traffic lanes are being “reassigned” to transit"
I said: "Continuing our practice, we’ll only see more and wider roads, less quality of life, "
You said: Social engineering would be great, if it worked. How would people buy their food without fossil fuel for cultivation, and transporting? Maybe we could turn Eugene into a third world “village”, and we could live like stone-age animals who “hunt-and-gather”.
That last part you talked about social engineering, fossil fuel for cultivation (you did mention transportation), third world village, stone age animals, hunter-and gatherer..
I know you are extremely adept at following a sequence of thought that is more connected. But social engineering  & "hunter-gatherer" is not about roads. Then you started blaming. Just more diversion.


They were "nasty women". Including Joan of Arc. Throw them in the pond. If they sink it is proof they were "nasty women" if they floated that was even more proof. "Nasty women" been with us for a long long time and I for one am very grateful for that.


Meh. Both sides have hypocrisy in abundance.
One side's "nasty crap" does not excuse it from the other side.
You guys love blasting Hillary Clinton for being venal, mean, corrupt, and a liar in her political and governmental dealings, while totally ignoring and whitewashing Donald Trump's reputation for being venal, mean, corrupt, and a liar in his business dealings and in his political campaigning.


your anti-Christian slip is showing


It does take two to tango.  :-)


My condolences to the family.


Well...whatever.
Why should "specifics" need to be completely known other than the historic elements and street front of the theater would be preserved, the Northern Lights Inn being knocked down, and the block between 4th, 5th, F and G streets would be redeveloped?
Because the only specific we can look forward to in the coming years is the specific growing urine smell on the south side of 4th Ave. between F and G streets.


and the 52 year part is relevant to what exactly? do you really think it makes you smarter? LOL


Scary line of thinking. Accusations cancelling rights.

If you want to call for change, trumpet the rights of the accused and the responsibility and liability the accuser should feel. Right now in America there is almost zero blow back if you falsely report your neighbors. Bearing false witness should be treated as a serious crime.


The very same people that applauded Comey's handling of Clinton are now the very same people attacking Comey for doing exactly what he did with Clinton. The only difference is it is now about Trump.

This just shows that certain members of the USA care more about their team winning than finding the actual truth. They need their side to win so badly that they are willing to swallow whatever poison pill they need to just to stick it to the libs.

Trump and his ilk supported and loved Comey until Comey started to investigate Russia. Now they act like he is a serial liar and a terrible person. Just like Trump his followers have a consistency problem. They can't keep their stories straight because they have to adjust them every few hours to stick it to the libs in a new way.

They are okay with serial liars, as long as the liar's name is Trump.

It is the purest form of Party Before Country I have ever heard.


Much the same can be said for your ill-tempered comments, here.  You do not speak for God, for the Roman Catholic Church or for its Magisterium, neither are you a (reliable) conduit for any sort of doctrine or teaching.  In short, we can get along just fine without you and your comments.


Yeah, but it is not a big deal.
Basically, as you said, unless promised to do more heavily subsidized (and it is already heavily subsidized) for 30 years, no way a utility is going to add coal.
And by first of the year, it will be obvious that ICE cars are done for.

Heck, look at what he has done WRT illegals, China, and H1Bs.
Has he pushed to stop China from cheating and dumping on America like he promised? NO. Now, CHina is his best friend since they paid off his FAMILY (amazing that nobody called it the direct bribe that it was).
Did he push for e-verify to be phased in so that illegals go home?
NO, instead, he hires a few more ICE that will accomplish NOTHING.
Did he kill the H1B and perhaps re-do visas geared for America and not for foreign businesses and gov?
NO. He just IGNORES IT.

So, all in all, he is doing nothing other than stroking a bunch of far righties egos, and they go along with it. Amazing.


YA RIGHT, or you could just pick up the phone and find out for yourself.

Mahalo President Trump for another common sense decision!


It's not ADN censoring your comments, Parrot, it's your fellow bloggers.  Apparently most of your comments aren't wanted.  Bam you're spam.


How bizarre, some of the most authoritative writers in college football forecast Royce to be the #1 or 2 RB to go in the next NFL draft. Is it a clerical error??


this article would have been better with pictures of said crystals.  i suppose there is google for that...


Reply to Teleology: China allowed foreign companies to set up factories and other businesses there - so they could learn the technology and have their workers become skilled in those industries.  But now China is gradually replacing the foreign companies with its own domestic companies.  For whatever reason, Canada has the replacement part backwards.  Canadian companies are most often replaced by foreign competitors.


Flipflop Fukumoto and a Maui boy who wants to represent the bulk of Oahu's population.

Uh huh. Great choices there, dems.


There goes you last shred of credibility.


The legal basis for the Government involvement in serving anyone comes from the interstate commerce clause.

Were it not for that, and even with that in regards to private transactions, the government would not have anything to say about who gets served.

The People have all the rights except those that they specifically grant to the Government, not the other way around.


Apparently COER is glad.  Dammit!

============================

COER has been able to hold Growler expansions at both Ault field and the OLF in Coupeville since 2013.  We could not have done this without your support. Thank you!

So … Save the Date — October 21st. We are having a party!

We are planning an Extension Celebration Party at the Crockett Barn on Saturday October 21st from  6 - 8:00 PM.  It will be a Potluck Hootenanny.

============================

Maybe a SAR exercise could be sarcastically scheduled @ this time Fort Casey State Park.  We'll fish out of the water Captain Geoffrey Moore, Coupeville Mayor Molly Hughes, Lisa Padgett, Sarah Stallings, and Ted Brown for starters with VAQ Wing families helping dry em off chanting, "TEN MORE MONTHS".

We'll also have Team Whidbey Intelligence operatives practice insertions in MH-47 Chinook choppers to various Fort Casey locations with VAQ-133 Wizards providing electronic air cover.  Possible some sneaky FCLP too!

PUSH! IT! UP!


What a horrible idea. So some leftists want to ensure that the voting public is properly 'educated' about politics. This is just a further step in the brainwashing of the American public.

These are truly evil people.


Wrong. The only reason the Democrats won the popular vote was because three of the most populous states were Democrat, New York, California and Illinois. If Trump had bothered to campaign in those states he would have won them as well.  The Dems have lost the Senate, the House of Reps and the White House. They have lost over a thousand state seats, most Governorships and most State Senates. While Barack Obama may be popular, it is only because of his personality. The people have clearly rejected his ultra liberal post racial world.


In ten years, we have only collected two billion dollars for rail. A ten billion dollar project - minus FTA funding of 1.55 billion means we (Oahu taxpayers) have to raise over six billion more. We also need to raise property taxes for the yearly operations and maintenance (over 100 million dollars annually). Perhaps the legislators are finally seeing the reality that this project is not worth the cost.


Not to mention that by submitting her phone for forensic analysis her entire life becomes an open book. Just because she doesn't want to be sexually harassed does not mean she wants zero privacy! Come on people she gave them the relevant texts. No reasonable judge would issue a warrant for more than is relevant to the case so why should she as an ADA who well knows the law?


Ted Williams wants to now be an electrician, so he can make bombs


Strawman


It seems simple, police are involved or no permit? Why is John Tory so weak?


I am trying to understand your post - are you saying that the Democrats should not look into reasons why they have gotten curb stomped politically for the last 8 years?  Maybe I misread what you posted but do you not think that some lessons should and could have been learned from how the Democrats ran their campaigns for that last decade?  What core principles and programs did they abdicate in 2016?


Kudos to you Ed Case.  Very appropriate piece given our current state of affairs.  The point that I hope is not lost here is that our politico don't care because they are insulated, first by low voter turnout, a result of hopelessness; second, unions who are currently the voting blocks that get the same arrogant politicians re-elected and third, by a lack of candidates that wish to challenge the machine.
Fortunately, it takes just one to start the revolt, to put a chink in the armor of the current regime. I hope that this "railroad" of a special session, where everything was done behind closed doors, without public input is enough of catalyst to start badly needed leadership here in Hawaii.  With Dems fighting amongst themselves, the hope is that enough independent voters and candidates come forward at the polls and start the snowball rolling.


What a silly hat.


Did they have any stats on how many of those 8,700 denials were successfully overturned to approval status thru the appeal process?


You failed to address my points. When will black Americans take responsibility for their conduct?


When ever anyone asks, I say the state capitol is in Spenard.

Then I say we voted to move it 3 times.

Hooray Spenard!


Who are the people around her who egged her on?
How did she become radicalized?


One case. Hardly a trend. We could spitball all day with one off cases like this with almost any organization of people. Pick your topic and we could find extreme examples until we're blue in the face. Until I see a movement the size of evangelical Christians I have no need for alarm and can assume most Muslim communities are peacefully practicing their religion and obeying the law. Should any individual who happens to be Muslim do something illegal then I'd trust our justice system to work. But I don't see a Muslim-majority political party acting to change laws. I'd be just against them as I am evangelicals pushing their religion through the government.


I wonder who died and made McCain President? I think his cancer has reached his frontal lobe.
Let's also not forget that it was McCain who supplied the so called "Dirty Dossier" to the FBI. He's in the Trump Russia case up to his eyeballs.


Mythman.  Perfect name.


Of course that headline paraphrases and misleads as to what Trump actually said to an audience of military veterans. No surprise there. His actual comments and intentions were   positive and supportive. Clumsy? Perhaps a bit, nothing more.


"Trump’s immigration ban will make America less safe."

The same old boring claims based on nothing more than the speculation of the author. Claiming the ban would  make "allies" in the Muslim world less likely to cooperate speaks volumes to where their loyalties lie. I suggest you extend an open invitation to the countries in question Ms. Carvin, instead of criticizing the actions of a foreign nation. Will your next claim be this ban will also make Canada less safe, too?


No, you pretty much need to burn with torch,
then grind to triple 000, powder.


none of them wanted single-payer; all of them wanted Obamacare, it was the biggest capitalist move to the basket in years -its so funny when peeps call Obama a socialist- his health plan guaranteed vast wealth for this industry group


A difference that you failed to elucidate, it should be noted.


Maybe two too many maybes this early in the day, though I won't begrudge you your right to think the way you think, or say what you care to say.

She's a clever woman and probably his sharpest and most experienced lawyer.


I am appalled by the delusional article in last week’s “Letters to the editor”, by Kay Longhi.  In that letter, she equated the suffering and loss of homes, personal property and years of life by the Japanese Americans in 1942 to the inconvenience of not being able to purchase an airline ticket for a few thousand travelers.  A lack of empathy that monumental is outlandish.  The Japanese were forced from their homes and locked up behind barbed wire until 1946.  Does Kay really think that flying across the ocean, watching movies and being served beverages, food and snacks is like losing everything and being relocated to the desert?  It is this same sort of oversimplification and overreaction that causes so many people to go crazy over the buffoonery that spews from the mouth of the buffoon in the White House.
I hope that if any Japanese Americans grace her gathering at Mukai with their presence, that she will offer up her heartfelt and humble apologies.


A better solution - if the Rox win, invest that money in tickets for Dodgers. If they lose, then you wouldn't want to be there anyway.


We have stayed at Serenity... A Majestic Mountain Retreat and it is AMAZING!  The owners built their beautiful log cabin home from the actual trees they cleared and prepared themselves where the home stands.  Incredibly talented people in so many different areas.  The owners, are the property managers of our vacation rental on the Prineville Reservoir.  They are pros at excellent hospitality.  We are lucky to have them as promoters of our place as well.  www.prinevillevacationrental.com.  Sorry, ha shameless plug for our place, but anything they are a part of is quality!  Thanks for highlighting them because they deserve it!

Mel, you had me agreeing with you until you said: "Those people can't possibly be really victims, because they are the most empowered in society."
Someone who has power can't be a victim of anything? I'm guessing that kind of remark earns high marks in university classes?


The Senate is acting like the partisan congress that plagues the US.
Small wonder, thanks to Harper the Senate is filled with enlightened NeoCons.

Unsubstantiated thyroid claims "not found on antifluoridationist sites"?  Seriously?  It's doubtful that there is one of those biased  little sources of misinformation that does not contain ridiculous thyroid nonsense.

So, still no valid evidence of adverse effect on the thyroid from optimal level fluoride, I see.

Gee, what a shock.  An antifluoridationist with nothing to support his claims. Who would ever have imagined.......

Thats hilarious. Harper couldn't get it done, but 1 month after the election Trudeau is supposed to save Harpers bungling?


So stop building aircraft carriers at $1.5 billion+ (irrespective of the mulit-million dollar planes they carry). Stop throwing trillions into wars.
