Sunday morning reading

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 34 seconds ago
A little light reading to accompanying your bacon, eggs and sausages this morning... A couple of weeks ago, ITV accused the BBC of using licence-payers money to rip off TV programmes from its commercially-funded rivals in an “aggressive” pursuit of higher ratings in a submission to the Commons Culture Media and Sport Committee: The BBC’s pursuit of audience share regardless of distinctiveness or innovation has been evident where the BBC has rushed to commission or produce almost identical programmes to those by ITV, and then has scheduled them against ITV’s planned transmissions. ... more »

the alien agenda

Oberon at GlobaLove Think Tank - 10 minutes ago
I have researched and studied the alien presence for 46 years. The early contactees of the 50's such as adamski, van tassel, menger, and meier were contacted by alien groups who were here to offer us help. Their offer was rejected by our government and military because they denied our requests for technology and required us to end war and destroy our atomic weapons. Other alien groups were then quick to offer the enticement of technology in exchange for certain privileges and a treaty emerged. In exchange for technology they would be granted secrecy and be allowed to abduct people ... more »

"Founded by Frank S. Land, a Freemason, DeMolay is modeled after Freemasonry.

Although none of the youth groups are "masonic organizations" as such, DeMolay is considered to be part of the general "family" of Masonic and associated organizations, along with other youth groups such as Job's Daughters and Rainbow. As with Rainbow, a family connection to Masonry is not a prerequisite for membership into DeMolay. DeMo... more »

A Failed Economist

Owen Gray at Northern Reflections - 15 hours ago
As Lorne over at Politics and Its Discontents noted yesterday, there has been much gnashing of teeth as the Canadian dollar has slid down to 90 cents (U.S.) But Tom Walkom writes this morning that the dollar can and should fall farther: With luck, it will end back up at roughly 80 cents. Under the purchasing power parity rule, which compares the prices charged for identical goods in two countries, that’s about where it should be. The rise of the dollar was predicated on the prime minister's ambition to turn Canada into a petro state and himself into a blue eyed sheik. But that d... more »

Republicans, the "right to life gang", freezing Unemployed Americans (including FETUSES) in the Northeast

Big Dan at Big Dan's Big Blog - 15 hours ago
I just took this snapshot of our weather here in the Northeast: Right now in the northeast, we're experiencing a multi-week cold snap of the sorts that I cannot remember, including a Polar Vortex. It's safe to say, knowing we're experiencing extremely high unemployment, that many thousands of Americans in the northeast need their unemployment to purchase heat to keep warm. Since January 1, the unemployment extension has been filibustered by the Republicans along party lines. You need a super-majority of 60 in the senate to pass the unemployment extension, not 51-49.
