Billions were removed (divested)  from fossil fuel investments from the Netherlands, not Arab Countries. They did it in one week. You guys don't even know your own industry, you should be embarrassed.


Why? Its all  interpretation when you boil it down whether in SF or at the MM festival in Hilo. It may not be kahiko in it's traditional form, but it's expressive of Hawaiian views and values in a progressive way. I haven't seen it, but I'm open to it. At least he is not competing. Competition is all for show.


Please be sure and send your thoughts to Cory Gardner's office.  He staff is reading them and there needs to be documentation that Colorado voters do not want this.  He is using the excuse that Colorado voters wanted this and that is why he was voted in.


well , i think it comes down to basic human nature.  for some reason Scarimucchi feels the need to pee on everything.....

Is there an inaccuracy here?


More Dough Morneau is been a major disappointment in a cabinet of disappointments.

Many of us hoped he would be a voice of reason, responsibility and fiscal prudence in a cabinet of economic illiterates and spendthrifts.

But he lost his credibility quickly with 3 disasters.  1st was as finance minister allowing a 1st year deficit of $30 billion despite a promised $10 billion maximum with no compelling reason for any deficit and with the ostensible reason of providing long term infrastructure turning out to be over 80% short term pandering.

2nd was going against his own book about why Canadians did not need and would be badly served by another government pension plan and suddenly endorsing such a scheme.

His final strike is this tax war against SB while leaving himself, Justin and the really rich office shore tax shelters crowd alone.

Morneau went to ground this week and hired the highly talented Ben Chin as his new communications director.  Good luck, Ben!  You'll sure need it!


She was asked to apologize twice and refused both times.
She will soon be the ex-Democrat Senator from Missouri!


The Denver area is "desperate" in the sense that we have a lack of national companies headquartered here.


the only pathetic argument is your delusional belief that futile efforts to control local feral and/or your neighbors cat populations has anything, ANYTHING to do with T. gondii. its ridiculous. you have too much free time and cats somehow caught your attention. and you shoot them. whatever! don't care. don't care about TNR.

"false equivalency"? no Fred its called hyperbole. (you must be the life of any party you attend.) lol.

Indeed I do. If you did you would know the only subsurface rights landowners can get it water. The state holds the mineral rights. The PFD is the Residents dividend from an investment account set up from the oil sales for the Residents.


When you're in a hole--stop digging.


It might be interesting to read about who got #1 and #2.


Hopefully the legislators realize that forcing the City to pay via its property taxes hurts their constituents, whereas the GET is paid for by non residents somewhere between 18-33 percent. Heck I say slap a $10 landing fee on anyone flying in and that would generate about 100 million a year.


Bad as it is in Puerto Rico, it has the US to fall back on. Why isn't the Globe running an article on how to help the smell independent countries like Antigua and Barbuda or Dominica? Perhaps because that would mean creating content instead of plugging in American-sourced content.


Nobody is making the argument that the players don't have the right to kneel. I haven't seen or heard that at all. They're arguing that their boss should fire them for disrespecting millions of the people whose money pays their salaries. Like when the owner of Chick-fil-A said he thought marriage was a man plus woman type deal. Or the owner of Hobby Lobby said something to the same effect. Or someone didn't want to make a gay wedding cake. Or said something off color on Facebook. Or wanted to speak his or her political opinions at Berkeley, they wanted his book deal taken away. Now that you mention it, it appears that the Left is a tad jealous that someone is using their go-to tactic and it's working.

Odd that a bunch of racists would idolize and buy and wear the jerseys of black players in a sport that is 70% comprised of blacks. Just a thought here, but maybe they disagree with the claims concerning the police made by groups like BLM. Maybe there are some numbers that support this.


Pretty much all they need to do is check current bus ridership figures from the area going to town and that would approximate  it, basically doubling the public transit population for that area going to town.  As it is the 120,000 projected that they state is probably as solid as all the numbers they've given so far that have proven WRONG.  Just remember the "curtains have been drawn" and learn the lesson WHO RUNS HAWAII.


Sears catalogue store was huge in the 70s and 80s.
They never capitalized on that.
Craftsman tools were high quality and a huge part,of Sears and their brand.
They gutted Craftsman for reasons I can’t fathom.
Their  management team was old, stogy and couldn’t see the forest for the trees.
Toss in inefficiencies, old product and lazy service and presto, this is the result.


And just like that, it is as if the goon Obama was just a temporary nightmare and we are back to normal business.


First mistake - not wearing brown trousers.


You read the article wrong. The Globe and Mail reports that MCFD said that Ontario does not allow children under 1 to be left unsupervised. This is accurate; I have read MCFD documents making that claim and pointed out the error, but they haven't bothered to correct it.


"Our" views? Suggesting all people "brought up here" have the same views as you is laughable, at best.


"The OCO budget includes $5.3 billion for continued operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)."

"War" also includes all those air strikes from aircraft carriers, from Italy and from Turkey.  They are called 'tactical' air strikes, by the way.

They even include the bombers that went all the way from Missouri and back to bomb those in Syria/Iraq.

Those Special Forces soldiers 'advising' the Iraqis and the Kurds in Syria and Iraq will be interested to learn that they were not in a 'war' zone!  How about the ones using laser designators to guide in the bombs?

Do they all have to give back their "hazardous duty pay"?

There is your phony semantic argument and then there are the troops on the ground and those in the US Navy and Air Force dropping bombs.  And dodging Russian jets at the same time.

Just another elderly Armchair Warrior.


Praying for him and his family.


They still have his seat at "Inside Edition"?


I know the stats....and I also know that there were more officer deaths per year in my first decade as a police officer than there are now.  There are many instances wherein the officer HIMSELF screwed up and was subsequently killed (the EPD motor officer shot on I105 @ 52nd comes to mind, as does the recent Texas Tech officer killed in the past several days.)  In fact, former EPD Chief Pierce Brooks wrote a book about the "10 deadly errors" committed by officers that get them killed.  I would submit that ONE officer murder is one too many.  And you might want to get stats from the FBI/NCI records than WApo....LOL


That's just a bauble in a blight.  Like anybody who works for living actually lives there in Koolina.  It's a enclave for the rich.  The Bus doesn't even go there.  It drops you off on Farrington, half a mile or more from the front doors of  those posh hotels.  Get real.  Fact is, the west side has always got the short end of the stick.   Living in town doesn't mean entitlement,  unless you mean they don't have to have a four hour commute everyday.


Still no one has been fired can't believe it.


All the panic artists will keep the news alive reading so much into Trump:s every move or the move he didn't make?  It will actually be dull but the responses will make interesting reading .


He'll "shut up", FOREVER, soon.

Just, not soon enough.


Other than high bottom alcoholics in denial, who romanticizes alcohol?  Except for the aforementioned, the days of the three martini lunch are long gone.


Predictably, this pathetic excuse for journalism has zero to do with male/female issues.  Naturally every family has its own dynamic and sure, mother's are the primary caregivers in most families, BY MUTUAL CHOICE AND AGREEMENT.

This frivolously cheap jab at XY chromosome is in actuality just another lame vanity/ego piece from this nasty, nasty person who is consumed with jealousy, self-hatred and a painstakingly obvious sense of insecurity over her value in this world.  No doubt the many failed and unstable relationships (who is this poor sap currently married to her and wtf is he thinking?) the drinking, the faux superiority complex (really inferiority complex) emanates from somewhere deep and dark in her childhood.  Why G&M readers should be subjected to this writer's psychosis on a weekly basis is beyond reason.

Conway defending Trump's transition-team choices. "You can't just appoint novices. You have to have people who know what they're doing."

Odd, that is the same reason some of us used in our reasoning to vote against Trump


Please provide a cost comparison between some alternatives to this project, such as geo-thermal and PV with batteries. The idea of biomass for fuel evolved from plantation days when bagasse was burned for power. But bagasse was a waste product and burning was better than dumping it in the ocean (done by most Hamakua Coast mills), so eucalyptus was planted. For a while the trees were sold to China for plywood or whatever, but I guess that has failed. There might be merit in bio-mass for power IF albizia was the fuel. We have a big problem with that tree, and it needs to go. UH scientists have proposed to make charcoal from albizia which sounds like a win-win. The proposed cost-savings to consumers from the proposed eucalyptus bio-mass project are not appealing and would lock big island consumers into long-term high cost power. This is wrong and I hope HELCO fights the push to do this project. Big islands are being sold down the eucalyptus river to save some foolish investors!


So you're saying minorities should abandon all vestiges of their cultures. It's like saying the Quebecois should all start speaking English. After all, how do you know that a French-speaking cop will treat you equally if you don't speak his language?

One reason that many Georgetown students feel Love Saxa should be defunded, is because the pro-choice group on campus is defunded. H*yas for Choice (they cannot use Hoya in the name) has been kicked off campus and defunded. In the name of the Jesuit principles of equality Love Saxa should also be kicked off campus. Upholding one group and defunding the other doesn't make sense, if you defund one you should defund the other


The UN has more credibility than you and your weak attempt at apologizing for the racists.


I attended Vic for four years (South House) and then was a Don at St. Mike's for a year while I was in professional school.  First, neither Vic or St. Mike's are satellite campuses.  Those of us who attended those colleges think that they are rather the centre of campus life.  While it is possible things have changed over the years (I admit its been a few decades) since I was there, I found the students at St. Mike's far more willing to engage in rigorous intellectual debate about all sorts of topics, even abortion, than those at Vic.   As the only non-Roman Catholic Don in the residence I was impressed with the students receptiveness to ideas that were counter to Roman Catholic orthodoxy.  That is not to say that there aren't students who have racist and Islamophobic ideas at St. Mike's, but I wonder whether the members of student council (who are often more interested in padding their resume than actually doing anything substantive) are reflective of the St. Mike's student body.

Explanation #2. See above.


Based on this logic if gang A beats up someone because they are  a visible minority and gang B stands up and defends the minority and beats up gang A, they are both equally as immoral?   So when the allies resorted to military action against the Nazis they were just as immoral as the Nazis?  Sounds like very flawed  logic.  The type of logic that hate groups would embrace in a feeble attempt at legitimizing themselves.

Okay, so go read Breitbart; it's a lovely echo chamber of racist, sexist garbage.  Would you rather your child had cancer or feminism...remember that little chestnut?  Here, we have Ezra Levant's "The Rebel", itself a wonderful source of right-wing rubbish, half-truths and pure fiction.  Remember the report on the school board in Ontario that exempted Muslim students from Remembrance Day activities...even though that never happened?


Non-partisan and Democrat voters far outnumber registered Republicans.  But the Republican caucus holds the state hostage.  As Charles Wohlforth argues, the problem is not incumbents per se.  It's overwhelmingly Republican incumbents, and not even all of those.  This is too important to be left to the usual helpless shrug at Alaska's oil-corrupted politics.  There is a huge need for a non-partisan citizens' Legislative Responsibility Coalition to gather and disseminate to the public in each senate and house district to what extent their incumbents are responsible for this infuriating impasse.  Granted, in some cases that'll be a hard call.  But not in most.

How many agree?

You are incorrect. Most adverse possession claims occur when the rightful owner puts up a fence, etc., and blocks passage. In many cases, that's the first time someone gains knowledge that there is even a boundary dispute.


I have a real problem with the Canadian government presuming to speak for its citizens, who strongly disapprove of land grabbing anywhere, yet tell Israel, and the world listening, that we approve of its blatant occupation and outright theft of land in Palestine. Clearly, Israel never has had any intention of two states, of allowing the Palestinians to think they have any right to keeping their own state, but every intention of 'settling' Israelis there. We have an old and long history of land-grabbing by the English in Canada and, other than the most crass business leaders, would never set our seal on any state intent on stealing land anywhere.

Perhaps it is time to pause and reflect why the Liberals were turfed out the last time. Adscam, the sponsorship scandal, Shawinigate and I'm entitled to my entitlements are some of the many reasons why. I'm surprised they are back at it so quickly.
If anyone thinks government business is not being discussed for $1500, they are a primary candidate for the sunny ways certificate of stupidity.

Of course you mean, the time-worn, racially-tinged, same old, same old strategy that plays so well with the poor thinking base, don't you?


I still don't understand people's antipathy towards Hillary Clinton. For years the Republicans have denigrated her, and that effort has been ramped up moreso lately by Trump. But I would think people would take that as what it is: propaganda. Partisanship and ideology aside, what has she really done to deserve such an unfavourable opinion?

As a career public servant, she would have by necessity made a number of mistakes and miscues, and having survived this long, she must clearly have learned from her mistakes.

To take the word of a known fibber, and come on, what has Trump ever really said that was factual, accurate, truthful and unbiased? - as he claims his opponent is a liar, the devil, a traitor, a criminal, and has hate in her heart, and accuses her relentlessly of the worst things possible...this surely must be the antithesis of critical thinking.

It is of concern that so many American voters are failing in their civic duty to honestly appraise their presidential candidates.


Tiresome lib propaganda piece. Notice that the tides in the West are changing, the majority is more concerned about ultra liberalism, socialism, globalism, marxism, green communism, mass immigration and the religion of peace. Libs as usual, have no insight, delusional and clueless about reality. They still did not figure out how they furhter alienate themselves from people with Trump bashing and Trump supporter shaming. They don't want to notice that the lib MSM propaganda machine is broken,, no longer effective, because people reject propaganda and exchange ideas via social media, bypassing them.


The turnips are reading from the party manual again . Trump ( Sweden terror attack ) needs to be deposed swiftly He is buying drugs from Eugene's local drug dealers or he is mentally insane or both


'
Maybe the only Latin American dictator we didn't prop up.

You recently praised the United Fruit company,

..that hugely profitable US business at the root of several US led coups in Latin America.

Just one example.

Partly at their urging, the CIA deposed the democratically elected Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz.

Castillo Armas, our puppet, quickly took dictatorial powers, banning all political parties, torturing and imprisoning political opponents, and reversing the social reforms of the democratically elected Arbenz.

Armas committed massive human rights violations against Guatemalans, including genocide against the Mayans.

A series of U.S.-backed authoritarian governments ruled Guatemala until 1996

The coup has been described as the definitive deathblow to democracy in Guatemala.

US actions serving the corporations throughout Latin America served to install brutal dictators that make Castro look good in spite of his own faults.

.
You should judge?  I don't think so.


How would liberals know what actually Trump represents, they tend to only be tolerant enough to listen to those who think like they do.  Freedom of speech doesn't seem to be high on their list unless it's agreeable to their opinions or they're doing the talking.  When Bernie or Hillary comes here,  they deserve common courtesy and respect as Presidential candidates, I'm not expecting liberals to act like adults though.


I also say abolish room taxes.


Michelle Obama is kind of uppity if you ask me my opinion - I wish she and Hillary would just shut up

The real estate guy was in Niagara.


This is still the ""lull of summer""....I'm still waiting for the students to return
and more normal #'s on Willamette.
I'm surprised that so few are using the bike lanes....perhaps they do not care to bike
so closely to traffic,  or do not feel safe with so many turn-outs, or perhaps the hilliness
of the area is a consideration.  If more bikers start using the area, traffic will be slower...waiting
on cars to turn right into businesses.


If by "Republican values" you are criticizing promotiion of more efficient and accountable government, I'm guilty. The unnecessary (traffic gets worse) and grossly over budget heavy elevated rail system truly does reflect Democratic Party values--spend as much of the people's money as possible so the Party's big contributors (construction unions and corporations, developers, the big banks, HECO) are enriched at the expense of the poor and middle class. Hawaii's decades of Democratic Party "leadership" has suffocated the economy and the people with the nation's most regressive tax system, hitting the poor and middle class much harder than the wealthy. Funding the Democrat rail project with the GET surcharge is insult to injury for the poor, as they they now are threatened with forever paying an even higher additional proportion of their income to pay for the gross negligence and malfeasance of Honolulu Hale and HART. Yes, bash Republicans while Democrats destroy our city.!


Why not 10.5 Million per household ? Oh wait that is only for terrorists.


Bravo! Yes, Trudy is a phony and a tax cheat, a vacuous one, but still a phony and a tax cheat.


Not at all, StewartBrian, it's just that what you wrote was oblivious, even for you.


Dude,  dude. Its hard to say this give that its traggic what happened. I wouldnt say that homosexuality isn't under attack but that its the male identity is under attack. I know, I know how that sounds but hear me out.

These boys that attacked him are probably so frustrated with the systematic sexism and outright attacks that the feminist are inflicting on the male indentoty that they lashed out at a symbol of that. Hell, who cares about being gay these days? A man who wants to love another man, whats wrong with that?

But you have to remember, there is a concerted effort by feminists to turn men into slaves. These boys go to school only to be treated as sub-human by the feminsit oppressors. There is zero respect for what men have done to create this society and are boys are being taugh in school, in society that they are evil sinners, nothing better than criminals. The oppression and disrepect these days is rife, ask more so why than how.


"I haven't heard of anything O'Reilly was being accused of as being perverted."...Speechless...😲😲😲


Smells like it's time to shovel more taxpayer money into the bottomless pit.


An eye for the eye will make the whole world blind.


Wouldn't be a cop in this town for love nor money.  We want them to do societies dirty work and then often criticize/second guess the hell out of them when they don't do it "nicely".  Meanwhile, it's "open season" on cops for no other reason that they are cops. One reason there isn't enough cops on bike paths and elsewhere is because the City spends too much money on non-essential positions like PR/marketing, spokespersons, training coordinators,etc. Your sarcastic comment about cops in doughnut shops is bull.


I am an Anesthesiologist who works in a Toronto Hospital - the VAST majority of Anesthesiologists (I know of none in the 416 area code) are NOT paid by the Hospital.  Please list your reference(s) that claim that Anesthesioloigsts are directly paid (a salary) by their Hospitals.  Perhaps you are mistaking Pathologists (where the majority are paid a salary by their Hospitals) with Anesthesiologists - Pathologists work on dead people while I keep my patient alive.


Sounds likes job for McMenamins!


SB91 has essentially removed jail time for "non-violent crimes".
But having read your interactions with others on this site, I have no desire to continue discussing/debating with you. You only appear interested in insults and your posts all come across as attention seeking. I'm done with you.


Oh of COURSE! It's Bush's fault, I forgot entirely. I guess Bush has really been secretly running the country, and just let everyone think Obama has been in charge for the past 8 years. So seriously, how do you guess they coordinated this, I'm really interested... I am wondering what length leash Bush has had Obama on. Is he a micromanager or does he let Obama do some things on his own? Interesting stuff.


Yes, this was a game I won't be replaying with my DVR even as the Blazers win a playoff series.  There was no building to a crescendo, nothing even close; but more like the ending of the French Connection and a fade to black.  Gritty and Grimy but nowhere as memorable as the French Connection.


Ah, this is a very familiar tactic. When Harris broke up Ontario Hydro and opened a "competitive market", prices spiked! Ernie Eves, facing defeat, capped pricing at 4.3c/kwh. Note that the actual price was much higher. OPG were forced to pay the difference, thus adding to the stranded debt.
 Politically, nothing changes, just the people doing the sleigh-of-hand by kicking the debt further down the road.


America’s Founders felt obligated to state the basis on which they claimed the Self-Evident Rights we enjoy (Sadly Self-Evident’s definition seems untaught in HI’s schools despite its importance to principles that define The American People (Exceptional as a People defined by shared principles instead of a bloodline). Self-Evident means: Not provable, disprovable or subject to compromise. We agree, we separate, or we fight to the death.
Yet the Star’s socialist editor, and others who don’t participate in, aren’t affected by, and don’t suffer the consequences of, flotilla foolishness presume a right to forcibly impose their will on those who do w/o explaining the basis of their claim.
If their claim is they must do so for our own good, Beware! Putting oneself in charge of someone else's wellbeing is an age-old tactic for enslaving them. Injustice done to women in the name of caring for them. NYC’s mayor claiming the right to control what we eat for our own good. Always an evil claim.


You've been repeating this, but do you think this is an actual solution? Some heavily armed young male Arab comes into the club, and the bouncer says, "Sorry, you aren't welcome here!" and then the heavily armed young male Arab is going to say, "Ok" and turn around? I have a feeling you know very well this idea is ludicrous but enjoy thinking that gay bars will be hypocritical in some way when danger comes their way. Either that or you really believe this idea will work to prevent future massacres.


Mike, would you kindly give insight into your thinking?  Her mind seems pretty sharp and her reasoning is buttressed by facts.  Please present yours so we understand the reasoning behind your statement.  An opinion without facts to back them up will appear to be based on a whim, nothing more.


"It’s a trap, plain and simple."
Asking questions regarding possible criminal behavior is "a trap"? If a person being questioned faces no criminal charges, and they are being asked to provide information as part of an investigation, why should they resist? I have no problem with someone using the 5th Amendment to protect themselves, but whey should they be allowed to avoid testifying in regard to someone else's potential criminal behavior?


This is ridiculous.  Our roads are in bad shape.  Our food bank is open one day a week except for seniors who get an extra few hours on Saturdays.  Seniors live lonely in seclusion, without adequate public space and public transport.  There's not enough parking for residents downtown.  There's trash all over our streets and folded signs strewn all over our sidewalks, making it difficult for disabled people to move about the city.  Our buses don't run often enough for people without cars to be able to have normal lives.  But hey, we're giving free space to Hollywood to come write screenplays.  Awesome.  This is DEFINITELY what this community is about, now.  Very sad.


Diversity is beautiful!


BC's provincial debt is 70 billion. Add in contractual obligations and it is 165 billion. Not quite in Ontario's league, but considering the fact that when they took over from the NDP sixteen years ago it was 31 billion it's not the best of records.


This lie by the Donald is treason.  Lock him up!


Speculation tax measures must apply to everyone not buying a home as a principal residence.  Why target "foreign' buyers only.  Do we really care about the source of legal cash? Our own homegrown speculators far outweigh the number of folks from anywhere else.

Another bone-headed solution from the Liberals.


I never knew that.


If I were on the School board, I would fire them.  They are either too arrogant or too stupid for their current positions and there are lots more where they came from.

That would also encourage others, both now and into the future, to leave those attitudes at home.

Retirement bennies are a total guess without access to their actual employment histories, including.


It just raises concerns that Brennan was colluding with the Russians too and needs to be immediately investigated! :)


Wow!  The "deplorables" just gave the political and media elite a big middle finger.


Typical GOP.  Cant just fix things and work things out.  Always angling for their own benefit.


These games of paid twitter bots can no one except whites can play better because the strategies twitter analysts hired by them follow are commendable. Blaming the same game on Guptas seems another strategy to safeguard their twitter masters so they are not disturbed and caught.


While Trump is admittedly one of our most peculiar Presidents, he did get nominated by the Republican Party and won within our Constitutional electoral process.  Having a public temper tantrum because your candidate lost is every one's right.  but it is a shame more of the pink-hatted women didn't show up at the polls in battleground states where it counted.  The many anti-Trump marches looked like British "buyers' regret" after their  Brexit vote.  It's a little late to get all pumped and proclaim "I'm with Her !"


He did answer questions, just not from your network of choice.  CNN has a lengthy history of  fake news, is something other than the truth not categorized as being a lie, which is fake in comparison to the truth.....


Rather than issues of lift, I suspect that this will happen because of the amount of emissions generated by aircraft. If countries take climate change seriously, as they should, aviation should be hit hard. There is an awful lot of unnecessary air travel. The downside is that I'll miss my annual warm-up trips to Cuba or the Mayan Riviera and I'd better fit in one more visit to Australia to visit my brother, his kids and grandkids while I can afford it and I'm not too old!


Think you were a little hard on Dr. Marrus, but in general, this was one of the Globe's best editorials in quite a long time.

It appears sane, community-minded and business-like people are too busy doing sane, community-minded and businesslike things to join the Kenai Assembly Asylum.

Any chance of just starting the meetings with the Alaska Flag Song and getting religous fanatic insanity out of it?
Or maybe the members just don't know how to do the real business of local government, and this is their cop-out?


That amygdala of yours just doesn't shut off does it?


He voted down a ridiculous health care act that would have taken insurance away from 20 million+ people, including anyone with pre-existing conditions. That's being a hero to most people.


Wrong


Just don't raise the tax or add a 100,000 dollar a bedroom tax on those luxe towers going up in the TOD zones!  Then 10000 thou a year in property tax. Rail driven corruption is killing low income rentals. Try working a 10 to 15 buck an hour job and try to find a one bedroom apartment. Rail is a real estate scam dressed in mass transit clothing.


He said he could see all the cars go by and even see to their faces.  Then, how could it be no one could see his car?  Doesn't make sense.  Also, a closer look by the deputies along the likely routes should have located him.  A roadside accident like this seemed like a fairly likely easy find to me.  The Sheriff's Office explanation is weak and unacceptable, IMO.


LOL

There are more people protesting against Trump in London then he had at his inauguration in DC. Sad.

So you say Assata Shakur was not a cop killer and that Assatas Daughters was not created to honor her?   Or do you say Colin and his charity did not donate $25,000 to the organization?  Is Assata Shakur the type of person you promote?


You've really got to stop taking ecstasy at your raves, SirJohn. The effect is not wearing off any more.


Wilbur Ross, newly confirmed US Commerce Secretary... Bank of Cyprus... Deutsch Bank... Russian oligarchs... Donald Trump...

Stay tuned, folks. This one's gonna be YUGE. Bigly.


This began with the Donald making a comment about a reporter suggesting she was having her period. From there, is anyone surprised at where he continued?


The SACP are a bunch of hyporcrits. All along they have been singing Zuma's praises, doing his bidding and turning a blind eye to all the corruption and looting that was taking place. Looking at the podium, during their conference, one can see many cabinet ministers and deputies.  They have all been singing from the same song sheet whilst usurping the bling in the ANC led government.

And now they try the 'holier than thou' trick. With Jeremy Cronin wailing about 'what went wrong'?

Nxesi conducted the sham (inter minsiterial) investigation to get Zuma off the hook on paying for Nkandla.

It was not long ago that Blade Nzimande was praising the Gupta's and slipping in diversion tricks by pretending that they were bona-fida businessmen.

The SACP have been part and parcel to the rot that has set in. They cannot now distance themselves from the catestrophic mess of state capture. Blaming the Gupta's and simulateneously absolving Zuma does not cut. It takes two to tango.


That is thug mentality.


It took 7 years for Bush (dubya) to crash the healthy economy handed to him, I wonder how long it will take Mr. T (Trump).


The alt-left meme is an alt-right fantasy. I can find dozens of examples of racists calling themselves alt-right (Spencer et al) but I find no one calling themselves alt-left.


Good point. It's hopeless. We should all just shoot ourselves. We've got the guns.
Seriously, all of the situation we are in was created by the voting public. Since the hanging chad election of George Bush we've had an accelerated erosion of one person, one vote. Giving up is not an answer.
We've had a hard lesson just how obstructionist Congress can be. Placing a candidate in the oval office that can galvanize the people is an excellent start. For some reason people question Sanders' ability to get things done, but not Trump. Either will face opposition.
We need 2/3rds of that 535 congressional members to propose an amendment, then 3/4ths of states to ratify.  We have passed 17 amendments.
I am not giving up before we try.


I wish they had a system that rejects idiot posts like this one.


Prairiegirl.......You didn't hear?  "Canada is back"


Canadians need to set up a guaranteed income fund for the victims. If just 35,000 Canadians donated $20 each, none of these families would have to rely on charity in years ahead. That would be the best and most appropriate financial response, in my view, to this terrible tragedy.


“send these migrants back to the U.S.”

"When asked ( Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll) specifically about the recent border crossings, the same number - 48 percent - said Canada should “send these migrants back to the U.S.”

"Another 36 percent said Canada should “accept these migrants”.

"Almost half of Canadians want illegal border crossers deported: poll" - Rod Nickel and David Ljunggren- Globe and Mail - Mar 20, 2017


none of the "good" will ever be reported or documented.


Nice


oh please.  this was an suburban neighbourhood where the ranges were short less than 100M, likely 50.  a C8 has an effective range of 400M.  the guy could have been just as effective with an Enfield.  Don't bring a pistol to a rifle fight


These are who we should have taken in the first places. Them, the Mandeans, and the Christians targeted for genocide by ISIS.


badges, uniforms are NOT symbols of oppression, bigotry and racism you ignorant loser.  NO FUNDING!


China maybe not yet, Shanghai can and Shenzhen - cities where there is enormous developments being made in working clean energy solutions such as bike sharing and electric scooters.

Most of China's emissions are due to factory line production of products to the west.

Europe is leader and will remain leader in clean energy solutions. Asia has also strong presence and growth in this field.


He said;
"Government bonds with a 10-year maturity are likely to generate a negative return over the next seven years."

You said;
" a 10-year bond purchased today would have three years left to maturity, seven years hence. "
???

How many (series) of GoC 10 year bonds are there outstanding and available on the secondary market currently Rocky ?
hint...has to be less than no less than nine (!!)
How do they differ ?
hint;several ways
How many will mature in 7 years ?
answer;all of the 2014 series
What will mature in 3 years...
the 2010 series
 (what was the coupon at issue and what is the price/yield  now ?)
etc etc


Good point. Let's register guns, mandate training, require additional training for certain guns, create a license for them, and insure them as well.


RadirD you are back...its been a couple days.

How was your time at the dacha?


what a  steaming pile  of  offal from someone  who  supported  the  congenital  liars  LBB  Barry  and  Swillary.


Leader, you make me laugh out loud! Obviously, you are not a leader!


David Brooks wrote a fascinating opinion piece in the NYT (Oct. 11) about the psychology behind Trump. You may want to share this with your students: "Donald Trump's Sad, Lonely Life"


There is plenty of evidence that he is a racist and an anti-semite...


So he stabs his wife and child to death, but takes the easy way out (gun) for himself. Disgusting, cowardly pig.


The Church indeed, is the entire people of God.  However---that does not entail that the Church is a democracy.  That does not entail that the people of God exercise the teaching authority within the Church.  The Church does not take straw polls on teaching.  The Church does not decide teaching just because the whims of pop culture and Hollywood demand it.

As an aside--I find it interesting that despite the fact that Hilary Clinton had behind her the rich and powerful news media, Hollywood, the president, a former president, etc--in short--she has the best of circumstances in order to win the presidency, she lost--despite all the power that was behind her.

I guess that means that people think for themselves--and do not think what Hollywood and the media tell them to think.


Agree, and also best known for his improper use of the phrase "average locals"


The Roman culture embraced slavery, infanticide [exposing unwanted infants in hostile environments], suicide [it was manly for a man to kill himself if by his jailing he would be demeaned], etc.  Our Western Rite still calls itself the Roman Catholic Church---and it embraced Roman law for much of its model of Canon law.

But today, we no more belong to the Roman empire than we do to the planet of the apes.  It is time for the Church to stop allowing ancient understandings of language or custom [which gave rise to shape how we minister to PEOPLE OF TODAY.  Study and learn from the past, but don't be shackled by it.


Canada and monopolizing the artificial intelligence industry ?!
Sorry - pot is not yet legal in Canada  .-)

NOT a chance .....


When trust is gone, no excuse like polygamie can make that right.
You deserve respect Honesty and more, if he cant talk About another woman, you can question a lot more than that.

Be safe, take the pain for now and move on, you deserve more than a man who had a lot more than most men, but still has the needs to cheat on you.

You are going to be ok, dont settle for less and trust youre instincts.

Wish you the best you deserve, cheer up, head up and shine like never before ;-)


Corey Booker, if his closet is empty.


Useless posturing by Impotent Little Donald. The North Koreans will just laugh and continue to thumb their noses at the US.


So, you're an expert on which animals are self-aware?  What do you know about seals and walrus?  Or chickens and cows, for that matter?  If you were from India, you'd be condemning the cow-eaters.  Why should an entire culture listen to you?


Well, Mike, your comments require a lot of discussion to address your underlying assumptions. Hatred of Trump isn't necessarily irrational, but I believe that supporting him is. So, that's just a value judgment, a he-said she-said road to nowhere. Hillary's track record has not been "covered up" by a liberal media. All mainstream media is conservative; all of it is owned by a handful of corporations that have their fingers in every $-pie in the US.  The entire US political body is corrupt, for your information. They are all corporate whores who DO NOT care about ordinary people.  And they are very, very skilled at making sure that a lot of Americans are focused on race, religion, sex, Kardashians, Hollywood, and other issues and non-issues, anything but the truth of how our "business is everything" (i.e., money is everything) mentality exploits large majority of the people dry everyday. Trump is a nutcase sociopath.   The rest are just sociopaths.   We should do something different.


Do you Roy....? Maybe spending time in jail should make you smarter, a lot of time to read. What a hypocrite you are, who is comparing Hitler with Columbine? Only one is you.....so what you are saying is Republicans are the only corrupt ones and the Democrats are not? Is that your truthism there?


That is a total misunderstanding of the scientific method. By your logic everything we know about the sun is fake since we cannot recreate the sun in a laboratory.


"This is the difference between a guy ascending toward excellence in Wentz and one that is mediocre at best in Siemian. One put his team on his back and the other did nothing."

Bingo...you win the prize! This is what several posters have been trying to tell you for a bit now. Trevor Siemian is an average NFL QB who will only be as good as the team around him. If the line protects and the running game is clicking then it is Siemian who can throw 4 TD passes (see the Cowboys game). Carson Wentz to the delight of Eagles fans is growing into what he was expected to be as the 2nd over-all pick in the draft. A franchise QB who is the main man on the team. The kind of player that can throw his team on his back. This is what Paxton Lynch was drafted to be....this is what Brock Osweiller was drafted to be. Trevor Siemian was a 7th rounder...Chad Kelly was Mr Irrelevent. They are the type of guys you are going to have to help.
The Little Guy


Difference is I back up my oddball stories with facts which you can't refute.  Disparaging them isn't the same as refuting.  And you're the one who said to a black female commentator--in your online comments--that you wanted to "put her in her place."  Do boy scouts do that?  Maybe the ones who wear sheets...


He thought he was ordering a pizza.


IF the rail is completed in the "who knows when future", the West end residents who want to use it will not be able to afford to buy a ticket...be it a one way, round trip, monthly or an annual pass.  With the cost of electricity, rail maintenance, rail security, employee and employee benefits, etc., I would not be surprised that a one way price of a ticket will exceed $20 and will be less than that only if and I mean if the rail has an 85% capacity ridership.

Yea...I am pulling numbers out of the air, but, please, someone out there can give us a more accurate number.  It would be interesting to know a more accurate cost of a one way ticket...to paradise???


Most people are financially illiterate so one cannot expect intelligent questions and the good questions will be skated around by the more knowledgeable advisor.
There is so much free information that is good and available free on the internet that using an advisory is a waste of money.  Just use two fee only advisors and compare their results and next year get rid of the poor performing one and replace him with another one.
Fees are too high for the amount paid and no one is going to be as careful with your money as you would be.
A lot of good free advise just reading this business section. I even used one of Rob Carrick's porfolio suggestions and it worked out I'm sure much better than an advisor.


Well, the first thing they did was to consult the provinces, which had not been done in 9 years. Then told Alberta that is was a carbon plan before pipelines, or nothing, and so Alberta, or rather Notley agreed. BC is happy. Alberta is happy. Ontario is happy. The Chinese are happy, Donald Trump is happy.

Everybody, apparently, except you.


It must have been a good comment to be taken down


I choose not to further engage with someone who cannot treat me with dignity and respect.  Goodbye.


Let's face REALITY and prepare for GET for life...


Why does the far right wing want to stop an investigation into treason? Ppl like you went after Hillary and Obama for no reason and now,we have an admin that is loaded with traitors. As it is, the Logan act is about to be invoked on trump, pence, Trump's SiL, etc.


Nanakanda What is this rant about? Did you read the article or is this something you always wanted to say?


"Such an impression"??  We are nothing to tRump but an element of his next business deal ...
Not the impression I was looking for in my NEXT president, sorry.


If the Elliott would have been managed properly, according to its unique mission statement... to maximize funding to K12... not to provide timber to local mills, we might not be at this juncture point in its fate.

The state could have cut a third of the timber for three times the dollar return had they taken advantage of the export value of the older timber. This would have maximized both dollars and habitat.
I say this as an ex timber cruiser who has marketed export timber for private coastal forest owners.

Of course, they'd still have some greedy enviro attorneys to pay off.

As are you, I'm against any and all privatization of public lands. I'm also against subsidizing private industry with public timber.

Had the private industry lands in the coast ranges been managed truly sustainably, the Elliott would not be the sole surviving habitat for endangered species. And there would still be mature timber for local saw mills.


So, there is a moral equivalency between the Taliban and Christian Evangelicals?  WOW, there's the problem with the sanctimonious LEFT right there in one neat little package.


Pocho do you have a reading comprehension problem? Where did I say that there was any terror committed by the KKK? I said that the vast MAJORITY of terrorist shootings/bombings etc... in this country since 9/11 were perpetrated by RIGHT WING "Christian" extremists. Since 9/11 there were 21 instances of right-wing, white extremist, "Christian" terrorist attacks in the U.S. that caused 53 fatalities....


Technically, three presidents have been impeached ("impeached" basically means "charged", the function of the House of Representatives). Of those three presidents, two were put on trial in the Senate and acquitted and one, Nixon, resigned before the process could be completed. It is generally agreed that Nixon was at most days from being formally ousted when he resigned.


When they and other local stores stop charging for bags I will consider giving them my business again.


Verdell is going to surprise a lot of people when he gets here...I think he makes the rotation.


Nope, if he wants to do drugs, I don't really care, but hypocrisy annoys me.


80% devoted to natives?  I don't think so.  Not on my last visit.


Too bad the Liberals and the NDP didn't give Mr. Harper the kind of support the Conservatives are offering Trudeau!


Agree.  These economists never look around as they drive to work.  They just look at old data, this data is from June.  All economists that work for the state should be cut to save money.  There is no point in paying people to tell you the obvious facts that you easily figured out on your own 1 to 2 years ago.


If you mean that Donald Trump is doing his best to turn the United States into a tin-pot phony democracy, I have no argument with you. However, the DJT "Great America," if  (Heaven Forbid) he succeeds, will look a lot more like Mussolini's Italy than it will Zimbabwe or Paraguay.


It is time to lay down pipe and to tear up the trails.


One.  It's all I need.


"the hoax that is man-made global warming"

Sweeney vs. the world's climate scientists? That should be a one-sided match, assuming any even notice him.


BRO there's no mention of the amount of money these guys will be allocating to abuse victims....in the Fox News article cited below....there is apparently a time limit....and this is a CNS story Catholic News Service...the bishops news agency....


You're the ignorant one if you don't think Hillary would've continued her lies and deception after taking office. We'll never know whether or not her level of "badness" would have been less or more than Trump's. It was a lose/lose situation.


Close the pool or make it self-supporting.


Quite so. The Zoroastrian fires burn in the hills of Persia annually to this day. But for the Battle of Nahavand and the fall of Ctesiphon, Iran today might well be a Zoroastrian-secular democracy, rather than the despotic theocracy brutally maintained by the IRG/basiji mafia.


I think it's possible, being he said there was a connection to wikileaks, that he now does not want to end up, as those associated with the Clinton's  in the past, ie. in the morgue. He is desperate although there is proof he said what he now denies. Give the guy a break, as he is trying to save his life.


You must be really getting frustrated boyo all your stuff is < this comment did not meet civility standards >.  Then all you have to say is the same canned comments you use when you run out of gas on a thread.  SAD


You got a point there. Send out a few packages of Hawaiian organic raw escargot. A very fine French & Portuguese delicacy I'm sure he'd enjoy. Let the rat-lungworms eat his brain away! LOL


...congress cleaned house at FEMA

The Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act was passed (bi-partisan) The act also increases funding for Urban Search and Rescue teams and requires the establishment of a family registry within six months after a storm.

the Army corps of engineers rebuilt the levee system.

the city of N.O. overhauled their inadequate emergency  alert and evacuation system.

yes, Travis, your comment is a logical fallacy and frankly only serves to prove YOUR willingness to politicize Katrina, its loath worthy.

your comment is a perfect example of false equivalence.


You shouldn't be letting your kids decide what cereal they get to eat.


This cant be real, can it? You think you have heard and seen it all but then all of a sudden this, just sick peope we have in this country!


Think about this:  USDept of Education has a SWAT team.  Its Inspector General formed a fully armed and armored defense team for Dept of Education.  So far,  they have only shot one person in the early morning hours beating down a door to serve a warrant for loan fraud on a college loan collection effort.  That was under Obama.  If you are not now thoroughly paranoid,  just hope Gov. Killer Kate Brown doesn't send OSP officers with them to make the kill shots when you reach for you cell phone or a pen.  (To be fair,  over 70 Inspectors General in the Federal Government have formed and armed their version of Seal Team Six for their agencies.)  The  USFS IG bought 36 fully automatic assault rifles for his troops last fiscal year.  Gotta be prepared for a battle with the Southeast Asian mushroom pirates.  Or the Cartel weed growers.  Only they are always served by the local county sheriff out of private assets tax money.  You don't think the USFS would pay for law enforcement,  would you?


"""""""""""""Say something nice PCan""""""""""""  something nice.


Wow...sounds familiar, like a Law & Order episode. As much as I dislike her motives/ways, it's still not a crime to be a jerky meany baby. They'll need more evidence of "collusion" to convict. Hmmmmm...sounds familiar, again.

"Let us put a real president in power who knows how to be cool under pressure. "
Who do you propose step in and take Trump's position?
1. Caldwell, Honolulu's "Pharma Bro" equivalent known as "Choo-Choo Bro"?
2. Elizabeth Warren from the Mandan tribe?
3. Ortiz the deported illegal Big Island coffee farmer now growing medical marijuana in Mexico?
4. Klastri the failed Honolulu ACLU lawyer?
5. Boots the pro "Maui-Wowie" messiah?
6. Dennis Rodman?


Sorry for the delay Frank
Non consumptive users have no rights to an opportunity to purchase an introductory Alaska license that represents their constituency.
They have no rights in the Board of Game arena
They have no rights to viewing areas save for two or three in the entire state.
Nonconsumptive users are generally bullied even though they bring double the amount of money into our state in expenditures, wages, jobs, state, borough and city taxes.
We all "own" wildlife as per the constitution yet the rights of the majority wildlife enthusiasts take the back of the bus...due to political bully tyrants.
Listen in at the legislature or the BOG and this is evident.


Well, they stole something. Where they the real plans or just a set of made up fakes?


I just have to ask, how much are these "campaign rallies" costing the American taxpayer in terms of travel and security? Doesn't Donald have a day job he should be working at?


Show by not showing up for the small claims court session the renter automatically blocks compensation for the landlord??  Did the bill provide that the small claims judge actually hear landlord proof even if the defendant does not show up?


Walker has to surround himself with boot licking yes men.  It's classic Walker to keep Whitaker and grow government.  Two more years of Walker ... it hurts just thinking about that.


Your reply makes no sense. There is only 1 national debt, it isn't divided into "areas". Trump's "plan" will add at least $5 trillion.

http://www.crfb.org/papers/promises-and-price-tags-preliminary-update

"What has gone on for several decades cannot be undone in months", were you singing the same tune for Obama when he inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit because of Republican borrow & spend policies, and then oversaw the largest deficit reduction in history during his administration?


"in 40 per cent of cases there was no clear ideological motivation"
That totally strains the credibility of your "recent academic research"!

I hope we can agree on the following:
Right-wing terror exists.
Left-wing terror exists.
Islamic terror exists.
Organised groups carry out attacks with logistical support and widespread applause.
Loners carry out attacks with no support and no applause and no allies.
Mentally ill people carry out attacks that look like terror.

And I hope we can agree:
It is wrong to blame right-wing peaceful democrats for right-wing terror.
It is wrong to blame left-wing peaceful democrats for left-wing terror.
It is wrong to blame peaceful anti-extremist Muslims for Islamic terror.

Clueless


Trump and Co are greedy morons. The time will come when they will profoundly regret their greed. Their stupidity on the other hand is something they will regret but can never remedy. That's just how they are: as intelligent as fence-posts. They are as dense about their economy as they are about the health and well-being of their citizens. If they pass this stuff into law, they are toast.


A vicious - but profitable - cycle. The beverage industry makes money selling soda, the pharmaceutical industry makes money selling diabetes drugs & ultimately the medical industry profits when the disease progresses enough for frequent doctor's visits & ultimately hospitalization, As usual the American taxpayer loses.


Its time they all stay home, in their pajama's and get paid $10.00 for every bill they can click "yes or no" to online. No more airfares, hotel bills, perdiems, suit and ties.


Good point but people have been stealing for alcohol for years. Yes more drug addicts steal but stealing is done even by non drug addicts.


Again, the United States is not a theocracy. Its governing framework is the Constitution, not the catechism.

Legally, "stealing divine laws" is a meaningless concept. The establishment clause concerns the government establishing a state religion. Your right to practice your religion is not "injured" by the recognition of the civil rights of same-sex couples under the law. This is basic civics.


So do airports.  But they and the Vatican both own the areas they are monitoring.
The mosque is not Israeli land.  Yet.


The only thing scarier than what Trump is doing is what Hillary might be doing.


Again, have you ever played "the telephone game?"  Who knows at this early stage what she said to the lieutenant and what was understood, let alone what was conveyed further down the line?  My underlying point is that at the very least, she put her husband "above the radar" as far as the police were concerned and was not in an easy position to ensure that everything intended was relayed to any officers who paid him a visit.  She just wasn't there and on the spot - yet she alerted law enforcement nevertheless.


That wasn't his post: he knows he and anyone can "look it up."  He wanted a synopsis of some kind- the kind you can bet we'll get when Trump is about to leave office- on the list of criminals pardoned and given reduced sentencing, in order to assess whether that was a prudent decision or not.  Stop playing oblivious: you're smarter than that.


I agree. Gregor's strategy to fight for 'affordable housing' is to declare war on homeowners in  single-family neighbourhoods . Just how they are responsible for the inflation of home prices is not explained but for some reason they are the new enemy and the object of Robertson's latest crusade to placate those who have been displaced from the market by their inability to compete with the deluge of immigrants who have more financial horsepower. Throwing single-family neighbourhoods under the bus for a crisis created by Ottawa's immigration policies is a desperate and pathetic attempt to retain political power in the upcoming civic election by the Mayor and his Vision council members. Given the litany of failure and mismanagement on their watch, it is unlikely this cynical ploy will save them.


His office has already issued an apology.  Innocent people don't apologize.


1st they said the would hit the PFE so they wouldn't have to tax us, know they take the PFD and want to tax us. Total BS, just like the past election when they said they were retiring bonds so the new ones wouldn't cost us anything. And the dumb a$$ voters fell for it. Is our property taxes staying the same? NO they are going UP. Why not propose a sales tax instead of an income tax? That way everyone pays the same percentage on what they buy. Not just the working people. Alaska was gotten so f'd up over the past 10 years I cannot get out fast enough. The low life welfare, live in the middle of nowhere to get subsidized, live on the backs of the working people have ruined a wonderful place. It is simply just a sh-t hole, welfare, snowflake state.


So explain this to me.  Everyone thinks there is a mania.  But nobody wants to sell their house.

Ultimately that is what solves all these artificial demand/supply imbalances - owners stop hording and all head for the exits at the same time.

Question is when.  I still own my house.  But the kids are all grown up and I do wonder sometimes.  But gotta live somewhere and moving is a pain in the a$$ and then there are all those costs - transfer taxes, real estate agent fees, new furniture, curtains, carpets, moving.  Is it worth it?  So far, no.


Without question this is nothing more than a grab at free publicity, now that we know that Spacey's show was cancelled a few months ago. Two  actors, in careers in need of a boost, have figured out a PR stunt which hurts neither of them, but seizes the hysteria of the moment about alleged sexual assaults. BTW, what was a 14 year old doing unchaperoned at a party of otherwise adults? Don't eat this story Elmer, snowballs are white!


Waddles The Clown just can't let it go like a real man, instead preferring to blubber, simper and whine behind his stupid tweets like the bloated orange coward he is. The freak has all the dignity of a dirty-faced toddler with a fully-loaded diaper.


Probably about how the "marketplace" encouraged runaway climate change and led to massive economic and physical upheaval. I hope you don't own any Miami real estate. They will probably also care about the tens of millions of climate refugees.

Given as white men were in charge when all this goes down, perhaps they'll care more about aggressive and toxic masculinity (note qualifiers please) than you think.


Unfortunately, this initiative has a loophole large enough to fly helicopters through.  Most sprays are not directly next to homes and therefore would be continued.  It is strange that this company and environmental groups refuse to suggest the aerial spraying should be stopped, period.  Asking the State to determine supposedly safe buffers is a poor substitute for prevention.   Aerial spraying is banned on federal forests and aerial sprays drift for miles.  Upcoming Weyerhauser spraying in the Coast Range near Lorane would probably not be stopped by this initiative.


I just don't get how our confidential information gets stolen.  I thought Trump just asked us to turn over all information about ourselves from the day we were born and keep it in a safe in his house.


OMG I have never read such an out of touch comment like this before........look at all the talk shows, all the tv series coming out, the media,  all the celebrity narcissists attacking Trump and writing him into their story line,  they do not even try to cover up the contempt they have for their sitting President.    And to say maybe only 10 Universities with only a few hundred people are this nutty??  Wake up and try to sell it somewhere else.....sheesh.  And the Left are the ones who are a danger to democracy, not the right.


The occupational force  in Gaza is Hamas.


I see the photo of Senator Murkowski speaking with reporters.  I do not see any of her comments.  I see nothing from Senator Sullivan.  Ditto for Representative Young.  Perhaps those comments would be of interest to dispatch readers?


I read your 1960's study in more detail.   As no surprise, at age 9, the control group and preschool group had the exact same IQ level of 87.    What you also FAILED to mention is this was not just preschool for needy kids.   This was part time preschool augmented by family intervention and the participants were often single parent African American households.    The cost savings cited in the study were questionable and underlying factors had not been considered in totality.   Here's a link of an assessment done in 2011.

You are trying to provoke the same kind of mindless idiots that you have successfully turned into a mob in your country. Leave our country now, and don't come back. If not, we will throw you out.


Why is this non story front center along with Trudeau"s?   The media up to its tricks, just like the reporter who refused to acknowledge her question was already answered by Scheer.  And for the record there is nothing wrong with working for the Rebel Media.....why is this reporter making such a sinister thing out of hiring someone who did?   Whether Scheer knew it or not, makes no difference.


So...shut down the jails and prisons? What do we do  with criminals? And the violent ones? Is treatment and rehabilitation voluntary, or forced? If it's the latter, how do we enforce it if we don't incarcerate?


So the police can now return fire with similar fire? It's about time....


Biggest problem with mining companies, is that they are usually obligated, by law, to maximize profits for the shareholders.
I have been in contact with Pebble's VP, Mike Heatwole, suggesting that PLP incorporate some "benefit corporation" provisions into their bylaws.
Just a few changes to their bylaws, would protect the management from civil suits from the stockholders, if Pebble took extra (and expensive) precautions to help protect the environment. This would of course take away some profits that would normally go to dividends.
It would cost a couple billion of the profits to seal and backfill the pit, during the same time that Pebble was still operating. Come on, a couple billion isn't going to really hurt anyone's bottom line, what with over 500 billion in ore.
All the "No Pebble" until you're blue in the face won't stop Pebble from opening. There's too much money involved for the fat cats to give a hoot. Instead, support PLP incorporating "benefit" provisions into their bylaws.


Will be interesting to see if we can elect another ethical, non-professional politician to this office.


The BMA is in fact (as I read it) the worst thing that can happen to South Africa.  It would complete the  Zupta's  STATE CAPTURE, and they could do with the money whatever they wanted, because it wouldn't show any amounts collected and used on the SARS's system, because it would not be connected to it.  What is also now totally clear is that Malusi Gigaba is a completely captured individual, as this is his pet peeve.  This boy has a mission to accomplish, and he has been Minister to the main structures of our country to carry out his mandate.  Let us look at his resume, if I don't miss anything else. He was at the helm at: Transnet, Department of industry, Home Affairs, and now the Treasury and Minister of Finance.  I have to give the Gupta's kudos for their immaculate planning of the road to complete State Capture.  They have covered all the bases of complete control of our country. It is time to arrest and prosecute this traitor of the nation, failing which, South Africa is doomed.


Yea, because we can easily retroactively change what people have been promised by law. That's not begging for a lawsuit. Btw, PERA did significantly change their retirement tables after 2008 and new hires do not have bearing the same robust benefits as older workers.


(I'll try this again. Amazingly, it was rejected as being "uncivil." Apparently people really do vote based on whether they agree with the comment or not.)

I was speaking about voters in general, not necessarily Colorado voters. The GOP has slightly less representation than Democrats nationwide, but Independents are where it's at. We're the ones who decide elections, and we prefer moderates. (Again, I'm speaking generally.)
Despite her flaws, Clinton was more moderate than Trump, which is why I think she won Colorado. I think she would have won the country if Dems weren't such lazy voters.


All pit bulls should be euthanized


Silence is complicity. Pointing out equivalence, when there is none, is offering a defense.

Trump didn't know the facts on the ground, even on Tuesday. If he had, he'd have known the entire congregation was composed on white supremacist groups. No nice people there, just violent fools.


It is a way that already exists. Those who have been -convicted- (i.e. have received due process of law, not merely been baselessly accused) of even misdemeanor domestic violence (which has been construed very broadly by the Courts) are prohibited persons, reported to NICS, and cannot legally purchase, from a dealer or privately, nor possess firearms.


There's no evidence of that, or that Trump ever had any relationship with Putin.

Conspiracy theories aren't evidence.

And your girl Hillary blamed her loss directly on Comey -- had she won the election, she would have fired Comey too.

Think.


"During his campaign, President Trump talked a big game about rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure "

Why is Patty Murray talking about rebuilding things that haven't even been built once yet?

Regardless, I'd feel a lot more disappointed about this development if Sound Transit had come up with a financially responsible plan in the first place. Building what as far as I have been able to find is going to be the least cost effective transit system isn't a goal that exactly inspires me with a strong desire to continue.


Which Red Guard?


You are the one who is using "left wing" and "right wing" in trying to put modern liberals to blame for a movement that began in the years following the Civil War, led by the WCTU, Women's Christian Temperance Movement. Wilson was a progressive, and he vetoed the Volstead Act. This is what your BS is about: You say everything bad is from liberals, everything good is from conservatives. And you're not even a conservative, you are at the far edge of right wing , in my opinion. You hold not a single moderate opinion. I doubt you even know what moderate means.


Hockey is not a uniting force for the nation it was 30 years ago.
Number 1 watched sporting event in Canada is Super Bowl, number 2 World cup of soccer and number 3 the Euro cup. All three have nothing to do with Canada.
GTA is more into basketball (people under 40) then hockey. Changing demographics blacks, chinese, Jews, Phippinos all watch basketball.


Kag....I am pretty sure I can hear this guy saying....patiently, "Look_________, funding for public schools is already thoroughly inadequate" AND you are arguing to further reduce this very inadequate funding by splitting it up between public schools desperately in need of every last dollar and other institutions.....your argument further imperils the kids left in the public school...do you really want to do that?

What we need is greatly enhanced public school funding itself"...and Kag I checked the school pop figures and came up with 51-2 million kids...


Surely this is preferential to the Chinese actually living in the homes?


OK.  I'm wide awake.  Next step, OT?


ES:  thank you, I'll do that.  Cheers, Gary Crum


Instead, we get third rate comedy like...Cheech and Chong?!
I might not be in favour of a cannibis cup-like event, but the music in the last 5 years needs some improvement.  And something needs to change for the better at the fair.
The same ol' thing for 30 years is getting...well....


Mr Meyers has a clear conflict of interest here and our elected representatives have a duty to clarify and make these things pono. Senator Schatz is on very solid ground here.


What the Globe & Mail meant to say was vote for the BC Liberals and maybe Christy Clark would resign. The Globe editorial board continues to discredit themselves with brain dead endorsements.


Trump and Trudeau are very much alike in making lots of noise but producing little substance.


Exactly......we have a very biased, manipulative media......and they wonder why people don't trust them.....always thinking we stooges are to stupid to see what they have been up to.


Agree totally. My favorite examples of how unhinged the left became after Trump's victory is the far lefties who, on the day of the election, before anyone knew what was gonna happen, were posting things on FB and Twitter essentially about how, "no matter how the election turns out, we need to work together in love and peace to move our country forward".  Clearly, they thought Mrs. Clinton was going to win.  Then, the very next day, without any sense of awareness or irony, these same far lefties filled their FB and Twitter feeds with "OH MY GOD [redacted] TRUMP, [redacted], [redacted], [redacted] TRUMP VOTERS!!!".

And when people tried to point the glaring discrepancies between the day of and the day after, these same far lefties responded with yet another stream of  violent invective fill with additional [redacted] terminology.

And then, with his infamous [redacted] Trump column, the uncivil Schwab positioned himself to be just like the deranged far left.


Rogoff: "We always tried to hew to the center line".  Uhmmm ... no.  Sorry to say, but you definitely did not do that.


This report is perfectly in keeping with the fact that the total for most major medical procedures in the U.S. is at least 4 times the total in other advanced countries. For example, a hip replacement costs about $50,000 in the U.S. and $12,000 in Europe ($3000 in India) . Of course, the outcomes are highly and roughly equally successful in all advanced countries; just far, far more expensive in the U.S.

Several websites offer cost comparisons for medical procedures abroad, for example https://www.medigo.com/  Have your favorite operation and pay for your vacation abroad!

Some decade soon, the U.S. will advance to a modern, cost effective health care system (preferably single payer insurance), but certainly not while Republicans or the Trump are in power.

The past tense of 'beget' is 'begot,' Comrade. If the Obama presidency was such a failure, why did Clinton, a candidate with much baggage and a woman to boot, garner almost 3 million more votes than Trump ? Maybe the begetting of Trump had much more to do with Putin's role in the U.S. election than did the imagined failures of the Obama administration. Maybe certain kinds of Americans are more loyal to their backward ideas than they are to the nation they inhabit and its democratic institutions. Maybe these pro-Putin dupes are the dregs of American society, their patriotism all show and no substance.


So mabrham, if they are failing at half the rate that means they are doing twice as well?  I think nrh clearlt stated there were 3 factors.  He couldn't be more accurate.  Why are you accusing him of bashing.


The Roman Catholic Church has failed victims of clergy abuse in so many ways. Changes have been made. Most of these changes are still being fought by many in the Hierarchy. For me, a victim , the biggest failure is the refusal of those in authority to take responsibility for their part in what has being going on for many, many years. They continue to see victims as the enemy. We are not the enemy. We never have been. We are innocent children whose lives have been altered in ways that most people cannot even fathom. Until the Church begins to treat victims with the care and concern that they deserve, the crisis will never end.


Would be better if all the autistic high school kids got together and had an exclusive prom of their own. I'll bet you they will like it better.


Jeffrey, have you ever considered that the majority of people in Hawaii are satisfied with the democrats and don't feel the need to vote?  In any case, what is the alternative to Democrats?  It is sad that the republican party has abandoned republican principles and today are little more than witch doctors practicing Voodoo.  Maybe the Greens or Libertarians can become the second party?


lol at the headline of this story...


I couldn't agree more.


Sounds like the former Marine got his hands on the lolo first.  Either way, he was toast.


this sounds kind of crazy but Elway should trade for Eli Manning before tomorrows trade deadline is over. Hell what does he have to lose. the Giants season is over and the Giants want to start over I believe. Hell I would rather have him as the starting qb that the crap qbs we have now. Hell it worked out great for Peyton


Great sounding recipe! I have several mint plants and was wondering what I could use them for!


Bzzzzzzzzt!


They might have had to shoot the plane down if he took over the cockpit.  Could have been a Anti-Trumper crashing into Trump Tower.


Hospitals can't refuse people emergency care so it will never be a free market product.  You have a natural monopoly and we need to stop pretending everyone doesn't need healthcare and it isn't a human right in a first world country.

Refugees from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Dubai, and Azerbaijan? Really?


Um, wow. Where to start with you? There is absolutely nothing in the article indicating that these three emails are in fact "classified." You realize that, right? You realize you are wrong, yes?

It's also clear that there's nothing in the articles indicating that the emails are even from Hillary Clinton. Do you realize that? Can you admit that you are wrong about that?

I'm betting you're going to ride those two statements into the ground no matter what. They're wrong, they're lies, and you're going to die on that hill.

As for your question, it's hard to restrain the epic facepalm. You don't know that Weiner's wife works closely with Hillary? After all that has happened, you don't know that, and you feel that you can provide a meaningful comment on that issue?

Unbelievable.


It would appear that the religion of Islam covers a wide spectrum of beliefs with different interpretations. Some of the sects within it are very peacefully while others, like ISIL, are not. It also appears that the various sects each feel that the others have misinterpreted the true meaning of the faith. This really an issue for Muslims to resolve however,  if it is to fit into the 21st century the religion of Islam is badly in need of a major overhaul.
In the interim perhaps we could make a dent in this kind of thing if we dealt with the mosques and educational institutions which preach a very conservative version of Islam, (salafism/Wahhabism/Muslim Brotherhood organizations for example) as these are the groups that are preaching a more conservative, one prone to a more violent interpretation


Oh great. I'm one of the 143 million. Oh wow free credit monitoring, woo hoo. And you will make it available to me on 9/13? What the heck? What a joke...


No matter who won, we likely will have another recession before the next election.  We are due for another one as we've never gone ten straight years without one and 2019 will be that and likewise with the housing bubble, that is bound to pop at some point.  Otherwise yes we will probably see another recession, but that is going to happen regardless of the ideological leanings of the provincial government.


The notion that moral issues are reducible to axioms like '1+1=2' is naive nonsense that shows an utter failure to grasp the issue at hand!  There is no 'one size fits all' cookie cutter answer to the problems of divorce, remarriage, and the best way to respond to those problems.  Amoris Laetitia proposes dealing with individuals on a case by case basis - that's the way it should be because no two cases are the same.  Nor can the role of a person's 'informed conscience,' which the Church teaches is the individual's supreme authority in matters of faith and morals, be ignored.  Burke wants to render the same verdict and punishment in all cases, no matter how divergent the individual circumstances.  That 'everyone is guilty no matter what' mentality is the hallmark of a God of vengeance and unrelenting punishment, not a God of love and forgiveness.Those who exalt the rule of  law over God's law if love and forgiveness are, in Biblical parlance, 'Pharisees.'


The likelihood of 'mass migration' in the US as a consequence of global warming is about the same as the historical 'mass migration' from the 'low countries' in Europe who have built massive structures to continue living below sea level.

"So at a cost of some $8 billion over a quarter century, the nation erected a futuristic system of coastal defenses that is admired around the world today as one of the best barriers against the sea's fury -- one that could withstand the kind of storm that happens only once in 10,000 years.
The Dutch case is one of many in which low-lying cities and countries with long histories of flooding have turned science, technology and raw determination into ways of forestalling disaster.
London has built floodgates on the Thames River. Venice is doing it  on the Adriatic."

We rebuilt levees in New Orleans, remember?

 Florida is  a Presidential 'swing State'!

My question is still, how much do the top managers, CEO, head honchos make?


I can only imagine just being touched by this repulsive thing , never mind raped.


Trump: "I don't believe it." Based on what? Gut feeling or just denial that something might just be there? Something could have truely happen without his knowing. That would be actually believable but to just say "I don't believe it" leads a reasonable person to think you are covering up. Buffoon. What till a real crisis comes up that requires critical thinking skills without just pushing the button!


I had two over the years. They were unique in many ways. The thing though is that you never felt isolated from the machine. Always aware of what is going on.


They do a pretty good job without comparing to the Eastern Rites in my opinion..........you just don't know who the are many of them not knowing themselves.


Stadium manager Scott Chan said, “There’s always risk with an aging facility. At this time, though, it is a facility that is still operable and a safe facility to come to.”  Very scary comment to say here Mr. Chan but I know what you're trying to say.  Exciting times ahead Hawai'i!  Get on board to make sure your seats are locked when we take off!  Go Warriors!


100% agree....a disgrace of a leader


Ok all you NDP "LEAP" manifesto types, where is your hero Naomi Klein? Her fawning adoration of  Chavez and Venezuelan thuggery knows no bounds. I'm sure she's awfully hysterical over the thought that such a pathetic dictstorship could ever be sanctioned.


LOL you are off your rocker or off your meds.  I thought you were all about 'protecting those who were falsely accused of crimes'.  Usually you have to have actual proof to be guilty and this falls far far short of 'proven guilt'  Lets say we reversed a few facts in the story.  It was a black man and a black woman involved or a black man and a black man.  Or maybe just a anyone not as despised as a 'rich white girl' with a lawyer for a daddy.

As I have said repeatedly its possible that she is in the wrong but I would like to see some REAL proof not lynch mob NONSENSE. You have bought one possible story and are defending it without facts against other stories that could just as easily be accurate.


"No one should EVER physically Force the body to do anything that creates severe pain."

Then we had better eliminate high school, college, AAU, and Olympic wrestling immediately.


What one pen has done another pen can undo.


This is something millions of believers has pondered and rightfully so.   This nation needs to fear God again.  Does this justify the attack - of course not and Moore certainly was not saying anything of the kind.  But sin robs a nation of God's protection and gives rise to foolish leaders.


Don't waste too much time on a poster who can only bring up a team's past. It comes from hate and jealousy. They cannot stand it, when a team is on the right track and put it together.

Every time he gets a chance to make a comment, that Edward Sonshine (sunshine up his azz?)  lets us know how incredibly positive it is for his company! How is RioCan not the most valuable company in Canada?


If we had proportional representation then the parties would have to learn to compromise and I believe we would have better, sounder government.


Hillary never condemned Weinstein. She said she was "shocked and appalled by the revelation " but never condemned him. Maybe a small difference but maybe not. Maybe because Weinstein gave and raised $Millions for her campaign, but maybe not. Maybe because she doesn't want to give the money back, as others have, but maybe not.


That so heartless, gofundme funds the victims of every mass shooting victim in this country? They must have a purpose?


No schools require teachers to do such, and all have texts, and no-one pay's less than $2 for fuel, and no-one pays 9 times that, or even $9.  You are correct Janette.


This is NOTHING.  With an average of 6 stolen cars per DAY there's obviously a chop-shop in Anchorage that's out-innovated all of the auto parts chains in town.


Evolution describes a process of change among living things. It doesn't confirm that the origin of life is random.

Rail and bus will overlap service because express routes will be canceled and bus riders forced to ride rail.

It would more than double the cost and make transit less efficient.


Great news! Canada has gotten a free ride with 'free' trade with the U.S. and the chickens are finally coming home to roost. Instead of protecting our local industries,both major political parties sold out to Communist China,TFW slave labor,and flooding our country with cheap trash at inflated prices. Businesses have to wake up from snooze land and develop new markets and pay more than lip service to the local labor force. President-elect Trump is doing Canada a great favor that will hopefully force Mr. Selfie to spend more time in his country and focus on the economy and not giving away taxpayers money abroad! Canadian businesses and many of their lazy politicians, like Manitoba's premier on two month 'working' holiday, out of the country, on the taxpayers dime, need a swift kick where the sun doesn't shine!


Selecting low-grade insulation in a rush to show you are 'fighting' Global Warming is very much a First World problem.


Meanwhile, tuition rates at the LCB have gone from 'that's a pretty good deal', to 'might as well go somewhere else'. And the rankings of the LCB? Well, they have trended in the opposite direction of tuition and fees.

Now tell me, in what other industry is there a product, where the price / quality trend lines are inverse of each other? It baffles the mind...


So what you are saying is that when NASA publishes data that does not fit your denial of climate change, you reject them.

I worked with some NASA people as well. I had a minor part in the correction of the Hubble space telescope optics.

Republicans are not totally to blame.  Key word is 'totally'.  Members of the house are re-elected every two years.  As such they are running continually for re-election.  1/3 of the senate likewise.  They know that 25 percent, or so, of republicans are adamant Trump supporters and it would be at their peril to counter Trump.  That is a misfortune for all of us.  What does it take fully knowing that TRUMP is mentally and emotionally unfit to hold office.  If one is to ask a Creationist what would it take to realize the Bible is not literal.  The answer is nothing.  So it is with a Trump supporter.  Nothing possibly would deter them from believing his lies.  Trump must be taken to task and examined by an exogenous entity such as the American Psychiatry Association.  He is THAT disturbed.  Take courage, take heart.  This means journalists, cable news, all who hold this nation more dear than party politcs and religious persuasions.


Cherry : Please don't paint all Democrats with a wide brush.  I've been a liberal Democrat all my life, while, at the same time, employing common sense......they shouldn't be mutually exclusive.

The JC State Hospital is a huge, huge fiasco.  I applaud Governor Brown for having the guts to recognize that fact and propose its closure.  Those legislators who pushed it through the legislature (in the face of unanimous opposition from all mental health professionals) will, hopefully, acknowledge their mistake instead of trying to defend it.  The idea of a mental hospital operating at a cost of $425,000 per patient per year boggles the mind.

I suggest those specific individuals who "ramrodded" the hospital construction should be the ones held accountable.  regards, Gary


Lynn, while we can appreciate your stand on protecting dividend payments, you need to reflect on your role in creating a $4 billion dollar budget deficit.

You voted for SB-21.  This legislation is unconstitutional as it gives away our oil- literally, almost $10 billion per year, tax- free.  Your vote to give away our oil, and your support for corporate welfare to the tune of $700 million per year has created a $4 billion dollar deficit.

We are troubled when you proclaim that when Alaska stands up for itself- that we are "attacking" the oil industry.  Presumably you read these responses to your piece.  Please explain how you think that you are not violating your oath of office when you ignore what is required in Art. VIII of the Alaska Constitution.  Our constitution requires we get "maximum benefit" (for Alaskans) from our natural resources.  When the owners (us) are giving away almost $10 billion per year, how is this remotely constitutional?


You're embarrassing yourself.  Please read "Centesimus Annus" by JPII, especially paragraphs 35-42.


This three-times convicted felon is getting to be a real pest.  Maybe he is a 'suicide by cop' aspirant?


He doesn't like Muslims who want to blow you up. Sounds like you listen to MSNBC or CNN.  At least consider both sides of the issue.


Goodness are people actually crediting the Blue Jackets' success to hard work? Didn't think you needed that dimension to win, in hockey.

So if the PFD payout is increased that would be the same as reducing taxes? brilliant. Actually the PFD is a negative tax. A tax by definition is a contribution, not a dividend. That is why the acronym is PFD, not PFT


The house didn't rebuke anything.  A small committee thumbed their nose at their colleagues and all Alaskans.


A:  Is George Soros included in the story or is it just another liberal political hack job?


CChild - you need to read the story a little closer. He has no interest in building anything in Canada. It is merely a second choice country from which he is attempting to re-open underground hospitals in Syria.


Since Washington is owned by Beltway Boys, another word for Corrupt Bastsards Club, how is Mr Sanders going to get anything done when the Koch and Norquist boys own everybody including Don, Dan and Lisa. Remember no matter who,they sign a statement of loyalty to Norquist to promise not to implement taxes on wealthy and corporations. Just us stupid voters who put them in office get to pay!


I love this comment by the dealership bc it will prove that all these so-called patriots offended by the 'disrespect' shown to military service men and woman are fakes. Little money, time or interest will be shown in their Mount Carmel Veteran's Service Center that is actually trying to address the true disrespect to our military - the physical, mental, behavioral, and financial toll they endure daily, which is largely ignored by the government and these so-called 'patriots'.

Truly respecting those who have, are currently and will serve is to treat them with dignity which extends to much more than simply standing for a song!!!


Whisper it, Steve, but a poster not a million pixels away actually stated - not for the first time - that Burke and Co demanded an explanation in his answers and not just yes or no's. He even gave a link to the actual letter. Then of course in the letter was the exact opposite to what he had claimed. Burke actually DID want simple yes or no answers "without any theologising."

It is mindblowingly crass that he is back on accusing people of not reading it.


Catou,
Why would you waste even 3 minutes of your life thinking about where the stock market is headed next? This theme keeps coming through in your many comments.Haven't you learned anything from Warren or P Lynch? Any investment plan that starts with a market forecast is doomed to failure.

Or do you know? And could you tell us how? ( gut feel doesn't count, sorry-could just be gas).


Your post consists of a  'little hands' attack and then you call Trump 'immature'?  You just have no sense of things, do you?


You used to edit W Week when it was a collection of counter culture rants and pornographic images.  You are stuck in the past, baby.


Stupidity has no shame so he won't be erasing anything.


"top heavy"???????

In an average sized school board in OntariOWE, you have 1 Director, 7 Superintendents, 5 Senior Managers, 52 Principals and... 3,435 other staff and teachers, 20,000 adult and continuing education students and 22,000 day school students.  You have 13 people managing the affairs of 45,435 staff and students on a $250,000,000 budget.  I sure as heck hope you redefine your understanding of "top heavy" because this isn't it!!!


It's misogyny! No it's Russia. It's Comey!  It's Macedonia! If only more illegals and dead people made it to the polling places!  Well, she may not have said that last one out loud.

Did you hear her talking about her email scandal being a "nothing burger"?  Sure Hillary! That's why your staffers took the fifth, others were granted immunity, you had cell phones smashed with hammers, and you wiped your server (you mean like with a cloth?) No, like with BleachBit.  All for a little nothing burger.


Still working at 71???? Hahahahahaha, lol... I gave up at 50,... give the younger kids a chance in the salt mine!


23 point favorites sounds about right as UCLA's Josh Rosen was picked Pac-12 player of the week, leading the Bruins to five straight TD drives in a little over one quarter of play, passing for nearly 300 yards in the fourth quarter.


What a beautiful person she is. Brother and sister are both blessed to have each other!


Hi TransparentCourts, thanks for not having a point, ever.


Where is Joe Vogler when you need him.  He proposed a "scenic highway" from Juneau to Seattle.  Blasting some glaciers out of the way would only be a minor imposition.  Kind of flies in the face of the word "scenic".   But the bottom line: Road to Skagway - child's play.  We need to think bigger.  Did someone below say something about sarcasm?


Actually- it is a relief that someone actually points out that the natural consequence of setting up the funding system as we- or rather actually the Conservatives- have is that there is now no alternative to the odd bit of stroking that goes on.  I think eliminating the direct government support for our democratic machinery was a mistake- giving the better off more influence in the process is not necessarily fair to all parties because as we all know they logically tend towards supporting the Conservatives- ergo the rule change by them.
