THE NEW SAM-AND-COKIES: In search of a possible traffic study!

Stephen Harper Receives Honorary Doctorate from Tel-Aviv University
I feel sorry for students and graduates of Tel-Aviv University, this must
be an embarrassment for them. I hope this doesn't damage the university's

Israel are critical of Netanyahu's hardline politics, but Harper is blindly
obedient to the Israeli prime minister.
To top the day off, Harper visited a bird sanctuary named after him.
Canada and Nunavut
This week Canada's National Newspaper has had a special focus on the North
- and that is a good thing.
The main story clearly tried to understand Nunavut and put it in context -
but it is striking that in so doing the very distance between (the rest of)
Canada and Nunavut became obvious. And I don't mean physical distance only.
The story was of an adventurer in a strange land far from home -- and it is
very true that most Canadians haven't the faintest idea about the North.
The writer was clearly a visitor who would go home and stay there. The

No, says a new paper by Raj Chetty et al.:

stable for the 1971-1993 birth cohorts....[C]hildren entering the labor

Anbar Before And After The Awakening Pt. IX: Sheikh Sabah Aziz Of The Albu Mahal
Sheikh Sabah al-Sattam Fahran al-Shurji Aziz is the primary sheikh of the
Albu Mahal tribe located in western Anbar that stretches into neighboring
Syria. After the 2003 invasion the tribe joined the insurgency to fight the
Americans and was actually allied with Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). In 2005 it
decided to turn on the Islamists for a number of reasons making it the
second tribe in the province to do so. Its revolt was short lived, however.
Sheikh Aziz’s story not only highlights the change in Anbar from rebellion
against the U.S., to fighting AQI, but also the beginning of a new S... more »

The Liberals are a paradox. They build institutions and then demolish them.

They pride themselves on their crafty pragmatism. But they can be fooled
time and time again by their own PR.

Gun Range
Today a bunch of the church singles met at the gun range for an afternoon
of high velocity gunpowder-propelled cordite-scented fun.
Yes, these are all ours, all the way back to Southern Man's crutches.
Little Jeri brought her own.
Jeri puts a through few her pistol.
Big Jacob shoots the little five-cylinder .38.
Southern Man spent most of the day on the bolt-action Russian Peasant Rifle...
...which has but a five-round internal magazine so he spent a lot of time
reloading those big 7.62 bullets.

The intricate lace of One
Lucas' article today hit so many points with clarity that I cannot even

jumped out for me was in this sentence:
*"None of you has the full big picture."*
None of Us!

realize: That there is absolutely no one out there, nor down here, that
has all the answers. No ONE.

problems with their local Housing Authority which runs government
low-income housing programs. A responder on FB had this to say:
If you find out the answer to this, I would like to know as well. Cause if
housing there is like it is here, just as corrupted, I am afraid anything
you can do will have to be something outside the agency. Of course you are

all working people must mobilize against right-to-work laws. but will we?
It's no secret that Tim Hudak, who wants to be Ontario's next premier, wants
to break every union in the province. So-called right-to-work legislation -
the name has been a persistent and successful piece of propaganda, used
everywhere without quotes - is at the centre of Hudak's campaign agenda.
Will Ontario become a "right-to-work" province? Will Hudak become the new
premier and succeed in dismantling Ontario's unions?

It must be election year
The shadows fall across our summer earlier this year.
One unwelcome sign that this must be election year is that politicians who
are normally still at the beach until the dog-and-pony show in late January

broadcasts with pretentious, confusing, and probably disastrous election
promises – promises and platforms they each hope will set the tone for this
election year.

Prior to this month, I could probably count the number of people that knew

insurance" in the event they were to become pregnant after being sexually

Scientist searches for timetravelers
