Fri, 25 Apr 2008 02:21:19 PDT
New kind of beetle found! By CBC staff! Staff on the state-owned CBC Newsworld, where, suspiciously like Fox News Channel’s O’Reilly Factor, “The Spin Stops Here”! (-- or is that just on their “Politics” program?) apparently discovered the new creature. They called it the “GREENHOUSE BEETLE”. Most other people, like the folks at the National Post, which features the little bugger on their front page today, call it the Mountain Pine Beetle. Labcoats call it Dendroctonus Ponderosae. Bu

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:38:06 PDT

Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up!

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 13:28:14 PDT
The state-run media in Canada (and the citizen-owned media who do their best to compete with them) all lament, daily (with intra-day lament updates, all day long), the price of a barrel of oil, and the resulting price of gas. (Of course they don’t have the foggiest clue what they’re talking about, but they pretend they do.) Even as I was writing this, the state-owned CBC did a story about the latest rise in gas prices. Apparently it’s getting higher. You can tell because they const

Peter Smith: Our

Pete slams broadcasters and journalists for "play-acting" about their "roots" whether it's blue collar or cowboy, just so they can "sound off," with supposed life experience, on the news topic of the day.
