Leave it alone Toyota

News.com.au - TOYOTA has told Japan's government it will recall its newest Prius hybrid vehicles worldwide, a transport ministry official said today. ..."The recall is being taken in response to reports of inconsistent brake feel during slow and steady braking on certain road conditions such as a pot hole, bumpy or slippery surfaces when ABS is activated," Toyota Australia said in a statement.

Ok let's get some shit straight, the prius is driven by stupid lefties and a lot of hollywood celebrities. These clowns believe that the rest of us are bastards and should be taxed to the eye balls so that they can entertain their various fantasies of fiddling with the weather. These clowns also have an irrational hatred of the Japanese because they eat whales.

Toyota finds that the brakes of the Prius are faulty and this endangers the occupants of the car, so they institute an expensive recall to fix it.

Why?

PP reveals its inner pedophile

Fox News - A new report by the International Planned Parenthood Federation is advocating that children as young as 10 be given extensive sex education, including an awareness of sex's pleasures. ... The report argues that sex education should be "recast" to show sexuality as a "positive force for change and development, as a source of pleasure, an embodiment of human rights and an expression of self."

Oh just eff off you bunch of sniveling closet-molesters. That's right, I called them a bunch of pedophiles, I don't give a shit what these cockroaches think anymore. For decades these pustules have had free reign with children and look what we have, drug abuse, unwanted pregnancies, abortions and all sorts of depravity. No matter how much we tell these pustules to leave the children alone, they just keep coming back pushing more and more sex on our children. Quite frankly I've have had enough, the time for polite discourse is over, so just eff off you bunch of pedophiles, hands off our children and go fiddle with each other or better still, do us a favor and jump off a cliff.

America's recession chugs on, except in government

White House apologists were quick to point to the unemployment rate decline from 10 percent to 9.7 percent as evidence that the recovery is gathering momentum and that President Obama's policies -- especially his $787 billion economic stimulus bill Congress approved last February -- are "working." But the back story behind the figures provides cold comfort.

First, the drop to 9.7 percent unemployment does not reflect the creation of new jobs that normally accompanies an economic recovery. The number of new jobs is actually declining. Total nonfarm payroll employment, for example, dipped by an additional 20,000 positions after a December decline of 150,000 positions. The unemployment rate the day Obama took office last year stood at 7.6 percent and 134.6 million people had jobs. When he signed the economic stimulus, Obama promised the bill would bolster the economy sufficiently to keep unemployment below 8.0 percent. But the unemployment rate has exceeded 8.0 percent since last fall, and total employment stands at only 129.5 million. The stimulus has been a bust.

Second, anybody who thinks the job situation is going to improve dramatically in coming months is not paying attention to what's going on behind the unemployment rate.The Hudson Institute's Diana Furchtgott-Roth notes that "This is a better employment report than last month's report, yet the economy is still not creating jobs. The percent of the unemployed who are out of work for 27 weeks or more exceeded 41%, an all-time high. This is unacceptable and shows that Congress and the President need to focus on job creation, rather than on expanding government, because the tax increases and borrowing used to expand government reduce overall job creation and create uncertainty." Furchtgott-Roth further notes that "the labor force participation rate is the lowest since mid-1985." This means that fewer Americans are in the labor force.

Third, among the few sectors of the economy showing net employment growth over the past year is the federal government. The federal civil service is rapidly expanding as Obama increases the size of government, with 33,000 new positions being added in January alone. Only 9,000 of those new slots were for temporary census jobs. In other words, what we are seeing is good times for the public sector and the growing prospect of a continuing and perhaps even deepening recession for everybody else.

“Understanding the Ruddy ETS”

The Carbon Sense Coalition today claimed that the Emissions Trading Scheme proposed for Australia and now before the Australian Parliament was far more than “A Great Big New Tax”. The Chairman of “Carbon Sense”, Mr Viv Forbes, said that PM Rudd’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme combined a Big New Tax with a War-Time Rationing scheme and an Income redistributing compensation scheme, all to be run by a regulatory army probably bigger than our real army.

He continued: “Let’s try to understand this Ruddy ETS. “To simplify things, let’s look at just the electricity industry.

“If Rudd’s ETS ever rules Australia, companies producing electricity from carbon fuels must beg, buy or borrow a permit to burn coal, gas or diesel. “They can beg a free permit from some mate in Canberra; they can buy a permit from some lucky sod who managed to get more permits than he needs; they can borrow a permit by entering into some tricky derivative trade with a speculator in Chicago; or they can pay carbon credit penance to a shifty land owner in some foreign land who promises solemnly not to clear his trees. “No matter which option is chosen, power costs will go up and companies must pass the extra cost (plus GST) onto their customers or go broke. “There will be no effect on climate.

“Now look at consumers. “The ETS must push up the cost of all goods and services using carbon fuel. It will boost the cost of electricity, food, transport and travel. When this happens, consumers will suddenly understand the ETS Tax and politicians who voted for it will feel their anger.

“But there is a plan: “Let’s compensate all those likely to vote for us”. “If these subsidies work properly, the lucky consumers will be in the same position as they were before ETS, except for the extra bureaucracy. For these consumers, there is no signal to reduce their consumption of carbon fuels. The ETS will do nothing except create a tangle of red tape which consumes and redistributes wealth.

“But for the un-subsidised consumers, the ETS is an extra tax on everything. “And for the power companies, the ETS will produce nothing except a heap of angry customers, and lots of red tape.

Mr Forbes claimed that Tony Abbott was wrong about the ETS. “It is not just a Great Big Tax. “It’s a Great Big Tax PLUS a mountain of Red Tape. “And it will have absolutely no effect on world climate.”

Note to "EYE ON BRITAIN" readers

I have been trying to find a Wordpress template (theme) for that blog which I like -- without much success. A couple of themes that I rather liked looked good in Firefox but were a mess using IE8 or Google Chrome! Amazing. The Wordpress people must use Firefox only. I have now reverted to what I think is the most legible theme and will stick with that for the foreseeable future. It's pretty plain but at least it seems to be fine regardless of which browser you use.

For users of non-Windows operating systems (such as the various versions of Linux), however, it's a different ball-game. If Linux users have any difficulty, they should probably try different browsers until they find one that works (or maybe use Debian instead of Fedora etc.).

Mountains out of molehills

Once again we see the true leftist colors of the media in this country, ever since Tony Abbott became the opposition leader and their precious bumboy malcolm the whiner was booted out, they've played the man Abbott and diligently refused to take their hero kevin dudd to task over his policies as they should. Apparently Abbott has offended the women of the galaxy again.

News.com.au - TONY Abbott says people are being "hypersensitive" about his comments on housewives doing the ironing. Although he acknowledged that ironing was not just a woman's domain, he told a radio station today that in many Australian homes it was still much more common to see a woman with an iron in her hand.

That sounds like the man was stating a fact, what did they want him to say, it's the emus and chickens that do the ironing in Australian homes? He didn't say that only women should do the ironing, no matter how much kdudd's sycophants want to fantasize that he did. If it's women who are doing the ironing, then that's not his fault, what next, women get offended because some bastard man said they bear the children!

When the cops cannot help you

News.com.au - GOLD Coast police took up to 3 1/2 hours to respond to a violent domestic dispute in which a woman was brutally bashed in front of her nine-year-old son and ended up on life support. The boy told police his mother resembled "a rag doll" after a sustained attack lasting up to 90 minutes. It was so violent that her blood was found splattered on the ceiling.

This is one of the scenarios that I point to when I argue for we the public to be allowed the right to bear arms. Gun control advocates often say that the public don't need weapons to protect themselves from evil criminals because all they have to do is call the police and they'll be there post haste. They never consider that maybe you won't be able to get to a phone or can't afford one. Anyway whilst it's difficult to show that this poor woman would have been able to defend herself with a gun, imagine any scenario where the police cannot get to you in time.

They took more than 3 hours to get to this incident, what if some 200 pound maniac is breaking down your door with the idea that rearranging your teeth and having your spleen for his dinner is the answer to all his woes. Say you can afford a phone and make the call expecting the cops to turn up and they just don't because they're busy rescuing some other poor bastard, what are you going to do, to avoid the aforementioned maniac from 'solving' his problems? If you had a gun, you could just blow his head off as soon as he makes past the door.

Given the above, that the state simply cannot protect you, can anyone seriously give me a legitimate argument for gun control?

The end is nigh

It's coming folks, the great global burning, the temperatures will soar, the poles will melt, the oceans will swell, the coastal cities filled with liberal morons will be swallowed (Why do I say that like it's a bad thing. :) ) up by the oceans. The end, the end I tell you is nigh, the time for talk is over, you must shut up and fall into line you insolent peasants, you must all be taxed to the eye balls. Only then will gaia be pleased, only then will she calm the oceans and let the polar bears live, yes really!

Daily Mail - Snow chaos is set to return to Britain this week as temperatures drop to as low as -6c. Some parts of the country will have up to five inches of snow with ice expected to cause major disruptions on the roads. In a fresh blast of wintry weather, eastern parts of the country will be most at risk of snow showers but western parts could have the coldest temperatures because of a lack of cloud cover. The new icy blast comes after Britain's coldest January in more than 20 years, but it will be nothing like as bad as the ‘Snowmageddon’ that has descended on parts of America, with Washington DC smothered in as much as 32 inches.

Yes really.

Is China a paper tiger?

An email from the optimistic Ray Kraft [rskraft1@gmail.com] below. Mao used to call America a paper tiger, meaning that it looked strong but was not

Even the Chicom government has calculated and published its estimate that circa 2015 the number of workers in China will enter a period of permanent decline in both absolute and proportionate numbers, while the number of retireds in China will enter an indefinite period of increase in both absolute and proportionate numbers. I.e., the Graying of China begins, in about five years.

At that point, the long-term economic decline of China begins, and because of 30 years of its one-child policy - it would take generations of 2+ children per family to reverse the trends - this in a society in which one-child per family is now the social / cultural norm, and which faces an imminent and indefinite era of economic decline.

The incomparable Pat Condell on the trial of Geert Wilders

No-one speaks the truth about Islam better than Pat Condell. Background: Conservative Dutch politician Geert Wilders is on trial in Amsterdam for inciting hatred against Muslims. The Dutch judges have refused to allow most of the defense witnesses Wilders wanted to call -- probably because they knew that the Muslim fanatics he wanted to call would confirm everything he has said. For more details of what is happening, see here



There's another fabulous Pat Condell video here
