About those Climate Models…

Go read this thread.

It is interesting to read scientists being modest. Interesting to read about what it is that they don’t know and what it is they think may be unknowable.

Smart people are skeptics. So are most scientists.

Suing for Surrender

The Lying Jackal reports that the Muslim-3 are planning on holding a news conference to make an offer to Macleans to settle the Human Rights complaint.

I suspect the prospect of another few months of public mockery followed by an unprecedented loss either before the Commissions or in the Courts was more than a little unappetizing. Plus, and I have no way of proving this, the steady erosion of support for the CHRC and the exposure of the CHRC’s wanton disregard for proper investigative methods and procedure, is taking its toll.

A couple of points - Toronto area bloggers, if possible - should try to cover the press conference. Macleans should be looking for an apology and costs from these sock puppets. Remember, the law students are not, in fact, the complainants here. The CIC is and it has the money to pay the significant expenses Macleans has incurred to date.

This is yet another piece of evidence we’re winning.

Update: Steyn “Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You”

Update 2: Deborah Gyapong comes up with a reasonable negotiating position: Unconditional surrender with reparations and an apology.

Update 3: Over in “>Lying Jackal land commentors are handing Warren his head on a platter. He’s banned me from his comments - the truth hurts - but the unbanned are going to town. Now, remember, use that link. Page after page of “Lying Jackal” referrals. Has to leave a mark.

The Scold is very mean…very

Assuming, as all right minded people will, that the now serene Mr. Vigna is successful in establishing the tort of meanness in the Levant matter he should go on to file an action against the awful bastard running Ask the Scold. Just tonight this Scold person has mocked Christians, gays, mentally unserene lawyers (a protected class if ever I saw one), Jews, and incestuous pedophiles.

He is clearly a bad man intent on being mean. He is so mean that I keep laughing at how mean he’s being. Which makes me bad too. So sue, Vigna, do.

I’d file a complaint with the CHRC but, so far, no acknowledgment of my earlier complaints has been forthcoming. Registered mail Friday and ten days later one of those funny sounding writs with administrative law Latin in the Federal Court. I wonder if I should file it in French in the Vancouver Registry….Hmmmm.

Mr. Vigna invents a tort

I mean, seriously, look at why Vigna says he’s going to sue me. On page three of his threat, he’s underlined what he says makes him really mad at me. He complains that I made fun of his courtroom antics, when he told a tribunal chairman that the whole hearing had to stop because Vigna didn’t “feel in a serene state of mind”. I compared Vigna’s lame series of excuses – a discussion that went on for twenty pages of court transcripts! – to a student who pulled the fire alarm to get out of writing an exam.

You’d think that Vigna would want to forget about that awful, awful day when he turned the tribunal hearing into his own therapy session. But not Vigna – he says he’s going to sue me for calling his drama audition a “farce”. ezra levant

Ezra Levant made fun of Giacomo Vigna one of the CHRC’s lawyers in the Warman v. Lemire matter. Ezra was mean enough to quote transcript in which Vigna beclowned himself.

Ezra is a big meanie!

Mr. Vigna is threatening Ezra with a libel action but, in practice, Mr. Vigna is really threatening to ask the Court to invent the tort of “meanness”.

Ezra needs money to fight and when my Paypal account replenishes I will send him some. But his Statement of Defence could pretty much consist of “And you, Mr. Vigna, are a poopyhead.” and he would still win in a walk.

I wonder what the French is for “poopyhead”. Tete au Merde?

Update: Mark Steyn is moved to song:

I enjoyed it as a bad daytime soap, but I think for his next courtroom acting gig Mr Vigna should try a musical:

I feel dizzy
Oh, so dizzy
I feel dizzy, not fizzy and gay
In a tizzy
I can’t handle any brief today!

Go read the whole thing and make sure you put your coffee down.

It’s not racist if you’re black…

One of the strangest things about the NAACP Wright pseudo-scientific speech on learning, and its enthusiastic CNN coverage and analysis, was the abject racialism of Wright. It was sort of an inverse Bell-Curve presentation, based on assumed DNA differences.

His convoluted explanation of African-American right-brain ‘oral’ culture as more creative, musical, and spontaneous versus European left-brain traditional analysis could never have been given by someone white to that audience without justifiably earning booing and catcalls.

Three comments: this was just the sort of racist ‘genetic’ difference that most Americans learned to shun, now apparently quite acceptable again, and part of the mainstream.

Second, there is no evidence that so-called Europeans could not “rap” or create an oral literature as well as Africans — remember, oral poetry as we know it , began with bards like Homer somewhere in the southeastern Aegean and continued into modern times in the Balkans.

Three, some of the most accomplished speakers of English and analytical thinkers are African-Americans, a fact everyone immediately recognizes from what they read and with whom they speak.

In short, Wright’s speech on black-right brainers, white-left brainers — replete with bogus stereotypes and crude voice imitations — was about as racist as they come and at one time antithetical to what the NAACP was once all about. Again, the Obama campaign and its appendages have set back racial relations a generation. Just ten years ago, any candidate, black or white, would have rejected Wright making a speech about genetic differences in respective black and white brains. Now it’s given to civil rights organizations by the possible next President’s pastor and spiritual advisor — and done to wild applause for an organization founded on the idea that we are innately the same, while being gushed over by ignorant “commentators.” victor davis hanson, the corner

A week or so ago in my commentsDr. Dawg objected to even going to Kevin Michael Grace’s site as Kevin has links to Steve Sailer [ And, Dawg, I warn you Steve says many of the same things Rev. Wright has just said albeit with a bit more rigor] and V-Dare. Based on Rev. Wright’s star turn at the NAACP does this mean Dawg will cease visiting sites which link to Obama? I ask because Rev. Wright, Obama’s spiritual guide for many, many years has now gone on record with remarks which pretty much confirm, and indeed surpass, Steve Sailer’s speculations about race.

Poor Obama.

How the West Was Lost

The cultural jihadists have enjoyed disturbing success. Two events in particular—the 2004 assassination in Amsterdam of Theo van Gogh in retaliation for his film about Islam’s oppression of women, and the global wave of riots, murders, and vandalism that followed a Danish newspaper’s 2005 publication of cartoons satirizing Mohammed—have had a massive ripple effect throughout the West. Motivated variously, and doubtless sometimes simultaneously, by fear, misguided sympathy, and multicultural ideology—which teaches us to belittle our freedoms and to genuflect to non-Western cultures, however repressive—people at every level of Western society, but especially elites, have allowed concerns about what fundamentalist Muslims will feel, think, or do to influence their actions and expressions. These Westerners have begun, in other words, to internalize the strictures of sharia, and thus implicitly to accept the deferential status of dhimmis—infidels living in Muslim societies.

Call it a cultural surrender. The House of War is slowly—or not so slowly, in Europe’s case—being absorbed into the House of Submission. bruce bawer city journal

If you want to get an idea of why fighting for free speech in Canada is critical go read Bawer’s piece in City Magazine. It is as depressing as it is vital.

We need to fight for free speech because it is an essential Western and Canadian value. And we need to fight hard because we are in very grave danger of losing the right to assert that value.

Hmmmm….

I sure hope the sockpuppets at the CHRC kept really good notes and, well, logs of their internet use. That way they’ll be able to prove that it was some other Jadewarr who was using Nelly Hechme’s wireless connection.
