Wow - Canada is building a LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) terminal in Quebec, to allow the importation of Gas. How can this make sense, if they have this much in reserve? Mysterious. Must read: Top IEA official: without Iraqi oil, we hit the wall in 2015 In a stunning interview for the French (reference) daily Le Monde, Fatih Birol, the chief economist of the International Energy Agency (i.e. the intergovernmental body created after the oil shocks of the 70s to coordinate the West's reaction to energy crises) effectively says that peak oil is just around the corner, and that without Iraqi oil, we'll be in deep trouble by 2015 What characteristics do you want in a President? How about a man who's not afraid to strap a dog to the roof of his car and drive for hours, until the poor beast defecates all over it? Ladies and gentleman, let me introduce Mitt Romney! Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack. He'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog. As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours. As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway. It was a tiny preview of a trait he would grow famous for in business: emotion-free crisis management. I'm not sure what's worse - the facts, or the hu-hu-humourous way in which they're described. Here's a follow up on the linked article - basically, Mitt's treatment of the creature was illegal. Don't worry though; as a feudal overlord, he's subject to different laws than us peasants. He'll try the "aw shucks" dumb-yokel shtick and win a "get of jail" card. It must be great to be Them. For once, the comments that follow this story are almost universally funny... So what's the big deal? He treated the dog just like he wants people treated. I'm sure he stopped short of organ failure.

Here are a couple of things to watch over the coming days, now that Brown is Prime Minister: Mrs Beckett fought hard to keep her job as foreign secretary, but, in a difficult conversation, Mr Brown said he needed fresh faces. It is thought he may bring into government Mark Malloch Brown, the former deputy secretary general at the UN, who has been a fierce critic of the Iraq war. Rumours also swirled as to the identity of a fresh Tory defector to be unveiled this week by Mr Brown; putative identity ranged from Lord Patten to Malcolm Rifkind. Disney only liked boys.

This would be the time when we'd sacrifice virgins - but they don't exist anymore.     Lego = good plastic. Bags = bad plastic (just in case I'm accused of hypocrisy). About bloody time. Blair is told where to stuff his MBE! I stumbled upon this page of beautiful illustrations while researching my Animated Oil Documentary. Scroll down for a series of Panoramas of plant and animal life through Earth's history - quite something. It might be fun to float around as a disembodied spectre for a few billion years, just to see what crawls out of the slime once homo-moronicus has shuffled off-stage. A doozy from latoc: The Crash of the U.S. Economy Has Begun Among those poised to profit from the crash is the Carlyle Group, the equity fund that includes the Bush family and other high-profile investors with insider government connections. A January 2007 memorandum to company managers from founding partner William E. Conway, Jr., recently appeared which stated that, when the current “liquidity environment”—i.e., cheap credit—ends, “the buying opportunity will be a once in a lifetime chance.” The fact that the crash is now being announced by the Post shows that it is a done deal. The Bilderbergers, or whomever it is that the Post reports to, have decided. It lets everyone know loud and clear that it’s time to batten down the hatches, run for cover, lay in two years of canned food, shield your assets, whatever. Those left holding the bag will be the ordinary people whose assets are loaded with debt, such as tens of millions of mortgagees, millions of young people with student loans that can never be written off due to the “reformed” 2005 bankruptcy law, or vast numbers of workers with 401(k)s or other pension plans that are locked into the stock market. In other words, it sounds eerily like 2000-2002 except maybe on a much larger scale. Then it was “only” the tenth worse bear market in history, but over a trillion dollars in wealth simply vanished. What makes today’s instance seem particularly unfair is that the preceding recovery that is now ending—the “jobless” one—was so anemic. Joe Bageant returned to the U.S. for a month, away from his shack in Belize. Is it just me, or does his writing improve as a result? It can't be easy to excoriate the state of affairs if you're having a good time in Central America, I guess. I visited the MidWest (Iowa and Missouri) for a week back around 2000, and found it an intensely dispiriting place. The towns had sold their souls to the big boxes, their centers gutted and abandoned. In Missouri, huge billboards littered the highway every fifty feet. I saw no pedestrians. As Kunstler said a while back, the scene in the end of "It's a Wonderful Life" where Jimmy Stewart runs down the streets of "Pottersville" is actually preferable to reality today - at least Pottersville had a real, living urban center. Grimy, yes, sleazy, yes, but alive. I couldn't wait to leave Iowa/Missouri, and hope I never have to return. If you live there, my apologies. Luckily, the Mexican border ain't that far away.

One of the biggest influences on my childhood was Carl Sagan's TV show "Cosmos". I must have been around ten when it aired, in 1980. I remember seeing the opening title sequence of galaxies and stars gliding past the camera, and the first shots of waves crashing on the beach. I was hooked! Up until then, my education had comprised of thousands of hours of formal education in Ireland's pitiful schools. I'm grateful for the ability to read and write (which I had pretty much mastered by age nine, thanks). The rest was largely useless; a waste of my time - worse - years spent being physically and mentally abused by teachers and fellow students. I don't think I've ever really learned how to trust people as a result - some "lessons" can NOT be unlearned. One of my former teachers threw a pair of scissors across the room in a fit of temper - it struck an eight year old boy in the head. She took a few years off, but was re-hired when the fuss had died down. This didn't happen in my class, but five or six years after I'd moved on. That should give you the flavour. 'O what was I doing when the procession passed? Where was I looking? Young women and men And I might have joined them. Who bent the coin of my destiny That it stuck in the slot? Patrick Kavanagh, "The Great Hunger" I despise those people. They, and the system they slavishly serve, stole what should have been the best years of my life and warped them. The worst thing is - they're still at "work" - eating the lives of children as you read this. "What's the Irish for 'chair', Sean? Don't shake your head, we did this yesterday! Stand at the back of the class you little gom!" Way to go teacher! Do that job! Bully that child! And while you're at it, die a slow and miserable death, alone, because that's what you deserve, verminous wretch. Plutarch once wrote that: "The mind is not a vessel to be filled, it is a fire to be lit." Sadly, the teachers that I've known have been vessel stuffers of the first order - dreary things who think it's their job to cram as much data into resistant minds. If the little snotters can't or won't conform, then hit them, humiliate them, whack them over the head with a copy book, but whatever you do, instill fear and shame in them. Opposed to these magnificent mediocrities was Carl - not a vessel stuffer, but a fire-lighter. Thirteen hours which dwarf the thirteen years of formal education, "Cosmos" covered a multitude of topics, including lesser known historical events such as the translation of the Egyptian hieroglyphs by Champolion in the 19th century. It was the work of a mind that took pleasure in knowledge for its own sake...an idea which was very new to me. Once the flames were burning, I couldn't be stopped. I consumed books, read encyclopedias for fun, and made my dad's life miserable by watching every documentary the BBC had to offer. Ah, the fun I had struggling with the mathematical proofs of the five perfect pythagorean solids. Every ten year old's typical childhood. No, I was NOT a normal child. I saw Carl in 1996, shortly before his death from Cancer. It was at Caltech in Pasadena, California - a public event to celebrate the Galileo space probe's orbit insertion at Jupiter. At the end of the hour he took questions from the audience. He insisted that the children there be allowed to ask questions before the adults, which was a nice reminder of his priorities. There's an amazing scene in "Cosmos" that I'd forgotten, until I watched the show again recently. Carl was showing a classroom of kids the latest photographs of Jupiter from the Voyager probe. They ask questions. One kid asks: "Is the Sun a part of the Milky Way galaxy?" His reply: "YOU are a part of the Milky Way galaxy". Another fire lit. Easy! What got me on this rant? Oh yeah! Carl Sagan's Cosmos, recut for rednecks! Want to sound off with opinions on teaching, or share horror stories about your worst teachers (or good ones, if you have any)?

See how far we've advanced in 160 years? THE CORK EXAMINER December 17, 1847 DREADFUL DESTITUTION. A CASE of death from starvation occurred lately in the vicinity of Nenagh, under circumstances of aggravated horror. The deceased was a man named Edward Hogan, a carpenter, who was reduced from a state of great physical strength until his person was totally fleshless. He had been disabled by fever from working, and was waiting at a place called Dolla, to get relief on a cold and wet day; but the relieving officer did not come. Returning he was excluded from a refuge through the people's dread of contagion, and stopped outside the police station. One of the police-- and it is not the first time the force have been distinguished for such kindly acts-- got permission to have him put in a neighbouring barn. Here they left him, and on the constable coming again with some nutriment, the wretched man was found almost in a state of insanity, with a sod of turf firmly grasped, which he endeavoured to gnaw. Assistance appeared to revive him, but next morning he was found a corpse. We now have so much food, we can forget that it's not, in fact, sacred - nah; it's just crap that we stuff into our faces for fun: Photo above is from "Bridezilla"...a cake eating competition in New York, if I read it right.

Best not to mention Irish swimmers. Ahem. Anyhow, here's a dandy about the forced re-location of Chinese people to make way for - ta-daa - Olympic buildings. I love the smell of fascism in the morning! Monbiot on the suffering caused by the Olympics: Someone Else’s Legacy One of Joe Bageant's readers sends this account of a real life zombie: An acquaintance/friend of mine is so thoroughly brainwashed and "out of it" that she spent all her money, retirement funds plus a sizable inheritance in five years. She has been homeless now for an entire year and do you know what she STILL does? If she has any cash, she will either buy a glass of wine at a bar or buy some piece of shit at a yard sale. She has a storage unit with her remaining consumer commodities in it, the ones she bought during her spending spree. Things like collectible Star Wars figures that are worth big money, she says. Her three gigantic TVs are spread in locations around town during the two to three month period when she got evicted. All she can think about is getting a place where she can watch TV again every day and night. She doesn't really enjoy couch surfing at my place because we don't watch TV and we eat boring vegetables and rice that are not ready-to-eat. Part of getting back on her feet to her means a place with a microwave that she can cook all her boxed food in. She has stayed with us probably six weeks over the course of the last year and EVERY TIME she stays over she asks several times where the microwave is and why we don't get one. By the way, she's 57. She's only one of many homeless people here in real estate hell called Ashland, Oregon but she has no insight into her situation and no political or philosophical rationale for being homeless, she just is and getting back to spending and consuming is what she wants. Another Bageant piece: Purpose of Government is to control people. From China: Beer bottle solar water heater. From this long and grim piece, The Beginning of the End for Life as We Know it?, the following stunning information: Of the 40,168 species that the 10,000 scientists in the IUCN assessed, one in four mammals, one in eight birds, one in three amphibians, one in three conifers, and other gymnosperms are at risk of extinction. The peril faced by other classes of organisms is less thoroughly analyzed, but fully 40 percent of the examined species of planet earth are in danger, including perhaps 51 percent of reptiles, 52 percent of insects, and 73 percent of flowering plants. Extinction of marine wildlife is considered to be even more severe with only 4% of the Northern cod remaining and sharks being removed from the sea at a rate of one hundred million a year. I like this word: Kakistocracy. (via Growabrain). Mike Whitney: Swan Song of the Democrats The present system is a fraud which marginalizes 95% of the American people and makes democracy impossible.

Labor Party affiliation should be the equivalent of union membership"providing a clear statement of support for pensions, universal health care, maternity leave, yearly wage increases tied to productivity, profit sharing, collective bargaining rights and 50% representation on all corporate boards. The goal of a Labor Party should not merely be to live off the scraps from the corporate table, but to share political power in shaping the country's economic agenda.

I got out just in time: LA residents told to cut showers Just in time, here comes the Solar Shield! Here's as weird a thing as I've ever read - quantum communication: Quantum teleportation involves "entangling" two particles so that any change to the state of one also occurs instantly in its twin, wherever it may be. The researchers entangle a pair of photons and then fire a single photon at one of the pair. The resulting interaction changes the state of both entangled photons, effectively teleporting a quantum bit of information - known as a qubit - from one place to another. The entangled photons behave "like psychic twins", the researchers say: even if they are far apart, a disturbance to one affects the other - an oddity that Albert Einstein dubbed "spooky interaction." I saw a documentary on particle physics last year - NOT "What the Bleep do we know" - they were real scientists. One of the quantum boffins described this universe as "creepy". I see what he means. Is there a limit to this? If the photons in the above example could be moved to the ends of the universe, would each still know of the other's state? This would allow communication over vast distances - as in billions of light years, or maybe further. Does the communication occur instantly, or at the speed of light? HOW IN HADES CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE??? I'm freakin' out here, man. This is, like, gnarly 'n stuff. Spooky, creepy, indeed. Oh, and don't worry - I know the military will use this new power only for good, and not for evil. Loony Wedding Madness.
