I know people in my little community who have gone without heat because they couldn’t afford oil. If that’s happening in my prosperous corner of the world, what is expensive energy doing to the miserable places?

Don’t get me started. I now hate “green” anything. Only the loony left can argue that jacking up the prices on everything makes it “affordable.” My dream is to see all these AGW and carbon credit scam artists end up in prison.

Prison? Nah. They need to be transported to a paradisaical self-sustained community, where they can grow their own food, build their own shelter, heat their homes with solar panels made from shiny rocks they find lying about, treat the sick with organic herbs, write their masterpieces on handmade paper using natural ink…

Green on the outside, red on the inside.

Oceania’s link is about Obama’s birth certificate. Bless his little cotton Kiwi socks.

Good catch, Oceania. I’ve had a haunting feeling for years that jug ears is the Manchurian Candidate.

If the Left are allowed to get away with such a fraud there is no telling what will come next.

Insert my usual rant on global warming here. Emphasize the part about how no matter how many people in America ride bicycles and power their McMacs with solar power it won’t amount to a tinker’s dam compared to the pollution/CO2/oil use/ whatever, in China and India. It’s all about trying to make you and I wear organic hair shirts.

Bah!

Oh, and where are the cheers for the hackers like we heard when they were bravely putting it to the Republican Man ©…

We’re just fighting a holding action against things like CISPA. It’s like lots of other freedoms: we already have what we want, there’s no positive movement, only “No! Leave it alone, you evil jackasses.” But just like everything else, it’ll be lost & many years later people will get shot & then our (great-great) grandkids will have those freedoms for a while.

But, seriously: the only way to stop them from encroching your freedoms is liberal application of the 2nd amendment. Get over your fear of violence, or submit, because whinging while wringing your useless hands is annoying.

Re Obama: the horrifying thing is that he isn’t. There’s no real doubt that his mother was a citizen. So he’s a citizen by birth, even if he wasn’t born in the U.S., which he almost certainly was (99.9999%). (There are some cranks with creative definitions of “native-born”, but they would have disqualified President Chester Alan Arthur, among others.)

But there is also no doubt that Obama’s teen mentor was Communist Frank Marshall, and that he was a close friend and associate of admitted terrorist bombers William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Nor is there any doubt about his associations with convicted corruptionist Tony Rezko, Arab terror apologist Rashid Khalidi, and race-baiting “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright.

None of this is secret.

However, it does not seem that he is actually programmed to carry out a true. “Red” agenda. He’s too happy shoveling money to rich cronies.

Paraphrasing Clayton Cramer…

Our liberty rests on four boxes: soap, jury, ballot, and cartridge.

(To my previous comment, insert ‘”Manchurian”‘ after isn’t. Oops.)

Much appreciated break from Cyprus, Russian money barons, and 10% savings taxes.

What bothers me about the cispa isn’t the invasion of privacy, it’s the intrusive aspect of big government. You wake up in the middle of the night because the SWAT team just knocked down your front door and suddenly you are in handcuffs.

Humans and their various attempts at government have a history, and human behavior hasn’t changed in two thousand years when tolerance and forgiveness were codified into a religion.

Wait…I thought Kiwis wore wool socks…what with all the sheep that live there.

Now those leaks are gone, and all I get is this Forbes article that says the only people publishing the content are Russian sources that (it strongly implies) aren’t to be trusted. FT said it’s trying to validate the authenticity before it publishes anything, and I haven’t heard a peep out of any other news outlets that were given the material. Hmmmm.

I rather suspected that this would happen as soon as I heard the subject matter of the emails. The American media is controlled by the Journo-List 2.0. Not one bloody thing that reflects badly on the “administration” of “Teh Won” is going to be published here, and it will actively be covered up. Actually, the Russians are a more reliable source of American political news than the American media right now.

I make a point of reading a couple of Brit newspapers every day; specifically because amongst the star struck fluff in their coverage of the US, there is actually a semblance of real reporting on American political affairs, and the amount of Obama worship is <100%. You have to allow for the fact that Brit Conservatives are not that far from avowed Leftist Democrats, but information can be gleaned.

Mind you, I am not expecting it to last much longer; because from what I gather TPTB in Britain are sufficiently upset at members of the elite being caught out by the press [regardless of party] so a new law is in the works that makes Brit reporting subject to "journalism" licenses and functional censorship.

I will expect to hear about the Hillary emails from the Russians, or online. And I expect that the full power of the coercive organs of the State will be attempting to conceal them.

There is an old song that might be on point. It starts:

The night of fire is yet to come, the Tyrant’s Shadow on the years …..

I wish you were wrong, Subotai, but…

…you ain’t.

Off topic but this showed up on Gerard Van Der Luan’s little corner of the web and should be of interest to our proprietress and others, artsy photos of champion chooks!

Hey, look! Chickens!

http://www.slate.com/blogs/behold/2013/02/18/tamara_staples_the_magnificent_chicken_examines_varieties_of_championship.html

Obviously, those are show chickens. I wonder what tricks they use to make them look good. Do they use butt glue? Beak gloss? Hot rollers? There must be some tricks to the trade to make your chick look fabulous!!!

Oh, they wash and blow dry them and put Vaseline on their combs and wattles and feet, so I’m told. Chickens that are shown often get to liking the process.

I washed Mapp once. She looked pitiful wet, but she fluffed up nicely.

The dirty little secret of our manufactured energy crisis and the ‘green’ movement is that China and India will be burning every lump of coal they can dig or buy. Japan and Korea too. Despite the fact that these countries have very ambitious nuclear energy programs, they will remain coal dependant for at least 150 years yet.

Sweasy, I was thinking about your fox problem. Why don’t you get a jack russell terrier?

I think any kind of dog that would go for a fox would go for chickens and possibly cats.

Were-chickens. It’s the only way.

That “Silver Duckwing Modern Game Large Fowl Hen” looks more like some kind of badass guerrilla warfare chicken.

I can imagine her with bandoliers and a keffiyeh around her neck. She makes the roosters look like dandies.

Regarding dogs, chickens, and cats, I’ve read that herding breeds will not see domestic birds as prey items if they are trained from a young age. Dogs and cats get along fine as long as they (the cats) are introduced as part of the pack from the beginning. I’ve had cats for years and have never had a problem with any of the huskies that I’ve brought home from the pound.

Now if it were a used tissue, it wouldn’t stand a chance. One of my dogs is The Reaper when it comes to snot rags.

My GSD used to clean the litterbox. He ADORED our cats. I only had to tell him to leave the ducks alone once.

Weasel,

You need a security goose. Of course any goose good enough at security will probably see you as just as much of a threat as a fox, so be careful.

A goose! What a fine idea. Domestic Canadian geese are particularly matronly, and good weeders.

Wouldn’t Mr Fox make short work of a goose?

Have you ever seen a goose defend her territory? A fox would flee in fear of its life.

My sister has a neighbourly fox who keeps eating ducks. The geese, not so much.
