"Yer teh reeeeeel racist for mocking spray tan! Stop oppressing people who wear spray-on make-up! Men who wear make-up are a race unto themselves and should not be mocked because that's as bad as making fun of African ancestry. We shall overcooooome."

The Clinton-Lewinsky matter was 25 years ago and it was all over the news from day one. And the crime had no plaintiff. Monica Lewinsky did not press charges nor make any claims against Clinton. I don't like that it happened but that situation was not sexual harassment nor forced sex. So sorry that your lame attempt of "whataboutism" is just another repub lie. It was not abuse or with a minor. Sometimes folks have sex and no one is hurt in the process. Seems kind of strange that repubs are always the ones with kinky, underage or a "forced" sex crimes.

Nah, my fav. is watching Mansbridge during the last US election after it became apparent that Trump was going to win. He was clearly on the verge of tears and it was hilarious....

Winter's elbow incident and eight anonymous lobbyists does not justify a call to resign. Winter neither filed a complaint or reported it. So why mention it now? Both Winter & Lebsock are running for elected positions. Let's stop acting like children. If someone assaults you, report it. Immediately. It does not seem credible to say you were "scared" and then not report it for six months, while regular session has been out of office since May. Report it to media, but not report it to the police? The former looks like waiting for a time to utilize character defamation possibly under the influence of those same anonymous lobbyists. Let's all remember that lobbyists get paid to influence elections and votes.

You're wrong again! No, I don't think my kid is a genius. She is a hard worker (at times) and a lazy f** at other times. So, statistically that makes you 100% wrong.

When Obama blew the lid off national debt to stimulate the economy, the press applauded. When Repubs recommend stimulating the economy in a completely sound economic basis, the press squeals like a pen of pigs about to be boiled in oil. The article is correct. The tax cuts should be bigger and they should be permanent; but blame the Democrats for that not happening.

Let's be honest about the possibilities of repairing and operating this rail line. It is not economically viable and probably never will be! Furthermore, to suggest an oil export pipeline be built- or the rail line repaired to transport oil trains- to the Port of Churchill is certainly not economically viable. The port is only ice-free for about 3-months every year. No pipeline/oil/shipping company could make any reasonable profit (the other 9-months of each year) transporting oil in icebreaking tankers through 2000 kilometers of thick ice-cover. A considerable portion of the potential profit from each ships load of oil would be eaten up by the massive fuel consumption and time required for each ship transiting through that much heavy ice! The only reasonable probability is to repair/operate this rail line as a money losing government subsidised operation.

This is so sad.

Not just Monica Lewinsky. But nice job rationalizing that one.

Either learn about mortgage financing, or do the math. According to the published reports (which probably are actually inaccurate in light of the reality of the real estate market), the Kealoha's home is mortgaged to the hilt. A $1.24 million valued home, with a $900K mortgage from a bank, and another $700K mortgage on it from one of their attorneys. They sell their home (particularly one with so much controversy surrounding it - thereby likely reducing the value) and they likely have ZERO left over from the sale. Then, they've been represented throughout the criminal investigation by at least one other attorney (Breiner), who probably ain't cheap. Then, they apparently, if you believe the Fed indictment, were living high on the hog, and taking loans and others' money to support a lavish lifestyle. Wrong if true, but that means likely NO MONEY IN THE BANK. Then there's the $250K from the City. L Kealoha's contract buy out. You really WANT them to blow that . . .

Seriously, your going to try and compare Southwest Airlines with Island Air??? As I told you before, your completely and I do mean COMPLETELY hung up with Dems. Maybe you'd like to try and prove that they are solely responsible for the demise of every failed company in Hawaii?? I'm sure Hawaii residents would love to see you prove that!!!

Just what America needs - another 1.2 million guns on our streets in the hands of people who can't pass a background check. Since 1998[edit] From the inception of the NICS system in 1998 through 2014, more than 202 million Brady background checks have been conducted.[21] During this period approximately 1.2 million attempted firearm purchases were blocked by the Brady background check system, or about 0.6 percent.[22] The most common reason for denials are previous felony convictions.[22] Prosecution and conviction of violators of the Brady Act, however, is extremely rare. During the first 17 months of the Act, only seven individuals were convicted. In the first year of the Act, 250 cases were referred for prosecution and 217 of them were rejected.[23] A 2000 study found that the implementation of the Brady Act was associated with "reductions in the firearm suicide rate for persons aged 55 years or older but not with reductions in homicide rates or overall suicide rates."[24]

Would love to be there and hear the Omega Man speak to the warriors.

Hey if you are auaf beautiful women do not want you. Get a reality check

Sparky? Perhaps you should stop being so obtuse and actually pay attention to what I write. “...You are very selective in which women accusers we should believe. Are these women lying about the Jufge? I don’t think so but you make a good case they may be...” You are the one picking and choosing the women who are lying, not me. I know that Bill and Hillary are liars and their accusers on the whole are not. Juanita Broaddrick claims the top cop in Arkansas raped her. Who should she have called to report this rape that she felt ashamed and guilty for letting happen? The Judge stories do not include forcible advances or rape. He may have done something illegal and immoral but a real sexual predator would have done much worse and by now have a history of felonies. 21 year old Monica loved her boss, the President of the United States. She also lied about Sex (none) with the President. She is also a victim of a sexual predator even if you think she was not.

ha ha. motley + skill set = oxymoron. buzz off. stop foolish replies to my account anyway. your lonely bored efforts go flat.

Emulating Ontario's proven green energy fiasco is a certain recipe for disaster that no province should even consider other than using it as a template of what not to do.

The IEP programs for dysfunctional students are on a continuum of services...from mild to very severe....at the severe end....placement in a residential treatment facility...and, yes, it does happen. IEPs are reviewed and "changed" if necessary. A student may move to a more restrictive setting and program if needed OR move to a less restrictive setting and program if merited. The goal being, hopefully, at some future date, the student's reintegration into the "regular" school program. Indeed, schools need to consider the disruption caused by dysfunctional students in developing and, when needed, modifying IEPs. If a student is disrupting the education of other students, at some point, that student does, as you suggest, need to be removed from the classroom. It's important to provide opportunities for growth and improvement, but not at the expense of the other students. regards, Gary Crum

Envy much?

You come by your knowledge that "he is just an ignorant child whose behavior is no worse than that of many other children three times his age" by what means? Divine inspiration? (Where are the straightjackets?) You know the party personally? Then you are not an unbiased witness. Does the person who perpetrated this hoax deserve to be cast out of society with no chance to redeem something of his life? NO. Does the person who perpetrated this hoax deserve a second shot at making it in the Air Force Academy? The answer to that is likewise NO. Your insinuations against the duly elected President reveal a person who, like this young man, is deeply disturbed and cannot begin to fathom that the people of this nation spoke one year ago when Donald Trump was elected. Perhaps Donald Trump should tweet a little less. But Trump has been a far better President than Obama ever was. Obama purposely exacerbated racial tensions. But you wouldn't know that from fawning media coverage of Obama.

The First Lady got a great and warm Welcome I only wish she could spend more time with us and visit more of Alaska and get to know our Great State better....Our weather this time of year does not make a visit as enjoyable as it might In another six months. On her brief visit she sure spread a lot of warmth and Love to all she was close to....What a warm lovely, talented, and Gracious person she is.. I hope she comes back soon.

Cuz he sh!ti #g in his pants.

Back when this started you guys were saying he didn't even go there and now we know he did and was offered prostitutes. So pretty much everything is playing out exactly like the dossier said. So the trips, Proven! The meetings, Proven! All we are missing is the pee tape.

It is unimaginable to me that our PM is not in Canada to commemorate November 11. Is Mr Trudeau coming back for tomorrow?

You said you were having problems with your dating methods.

If the #metoo campaign succeeds, some of this harassment will stop going forward. Men will begin to think twice, I hope.

These are not 'strawmen'. These are young hoodlums. Similar to the 16-year old murderer in Douglas County this week, no doubt. Or, closer to home, Kip Kinkel at 16. 4J can't even keep track of how many of their 'students' are even at a given school on a given day according to the R-G, so it's unsurprising that they can't keep track of their behavior when they do notice them.

You need to familiarize yourself with the Law before you end up in trouble. Employment situations are not dating opportunities. You can't condition offers of employment on satisfying your libido. People have a right to be considered for job without having to have sex with an employer. Its pretty simple and fair. Think about it. What would you want for you kids?

How long since you lost your cognitive skills ?

If Jesus Christ were alive today, I wonder how long before some woman or women came out of the woodwork to accuse him of abusing them. I guess it would depend on what they had to gain from it.

Thank you for your service in the military and in protecting the residents of Federal Way as a police officer, Cpl.

And in many cases with cops, he is a coward. Would never admit he is wrong or incompetent

Nice post Jerry. I couldn't agree more on the transaction tax. Super fast Trading has taken any sense of inherent 'value' out of stock trading in favor of momentum. Yep, it makes money, but it also take a million dollars to invest in a fund that has that as a tool. I have no trouble cutting the corporate tax rate, but where are the corporate offsets? How is a CEO paid with stock futures and the lower captital gains tax, when the award is clearly for work performed as an executive and should be taxed as ordintary income? Add the executive perks and assign them a taxable value. But that is only couple out of hundred's of pro-industry exceptions granted to ownership and the executive class. Where's the list of tax exemptions for the promised offset to lower tax rates?

Remembrance Day is should be about the soldiers, not the politics. We should be honoring the men and women we sent in harm’s way whether that happened in France or Afghanistan. You don’t have to agree with the politics of the battles to honor the warriors who fought them.

Sex can most certainly be taught in a factual manner - without the burden of religious shame if a youth happens to be discovering they have an alternative sexuality. Maybe straight-forward sex education could have prevented the legacy of sex scandals in various churches globally? Religious morality didn't protect the victims!

..."negotiating labour and environmental protections into our trade agreements." I agree...but it would also be great to know what exactly has been negotiated (or not) so we can debate the impact.

Yeah. Very good points. I agree with all that regarding the bigger picture, and the importance of having sensible, well-thought-out policy. The all-solar option, though, is still unallowed for commercial or multifamily even when you dig into the definitions: as written, you would have to put solar on literally every single inch of the entire roof in order to avoid the green roof but that is against the fire code, which requires access ways and spacing requirements, and most buildings too have parts of their mechanical systems up there -- so that's not actually an option. A lot of people were misled into thinking all buildings could choose solar instead of a green roof.

The way to remember people is in museums, libraries, and history books. The way you honor people is through statues and monuments. Many confederate monuments were erected well after the civil war. If Robert E. Lee had a statue erected that wasn't demolished during the war then I'd agree that's a part of history. A bunch of white people wanting to erect a statue in his honor 100 years later doesn't deserve the same reverence. Removing them does nothing to erase people form history. Nobody is promoting the erasing of history, you just have white southerners who feel hurt that they can't honor the losing side. Robert E. Lee himself said that there shouldn't be confederate monuments.

He was speaking in good faith about an incident that he believed to be one of arising from racism. Keeping that in mind, what did he say that was wrong?

Palatable, surely you realize that only stupid people claim they are smart, right? Furthermore, only a catastrophically stupid and deeply insecure person would claim things like: "Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don't feel so stupid or insecure,it's not your fault" (May 8, 2013) Used occasionally such statements imply the speaker actually believes these they are the loser, hater, low-IQ, stupid and insecure one, not whomever they are attacking. Trump makes such claims ALL THE TIME and has been doing so for decades. Chew on the implications of that for a bit.

As I recall, the contributions to the mayor (in 2004 and 2008) were from Bombardier. Andrew Robbins (of Bombardier at that time) even attended the signing of Ordinance 07-001 at Kapolei Hale, the official start of the rail project. Mayor Hannemann was no longer in office when Ansaldo (rather than Bombardier) was selected. There were, however, two members on the HART Board from First Hawaiian Bank. The bank was a subsidiary of Paribas Bank of France. That bank was a major shareholder of Finmeccanica of Italy, the parent company of Ansaldo then. Follow the money.

Just another normal day in Western Europe.

So along with crude behaviour and harassment, he shares the trait of hypocrisy with Trump. Sounds like an electoral threat to me.

You are totally right. There is too much criticism on the rule of law and our constitution. Sure, there is a sense of betrayal and disgust at public corruption allegations but everyone is entitled counsel and a fair trial. If you think their trial costs are high, try to imagine the amount this investigation has cost in terms of federal resources and expertise. It would boggle your mind to add it all up. So there is no point in the mob mentality that Critical Reader points out. It is fine to grumble and it does seem like another slap in the taxpayers face. There is more costly investigation going on and this is not the end of the line. More dominoes will fall, and it is not worth denying a defendant's right to counsel and seeing anyone walk on a technicality.

Please do not blame sleek marketers ( of which I am one ) . No marketer would ever agree to build a news brand for a major network using 4 hosts. I said this when the announcement was made this summer. CBC has broken every rule of marketing and branding with their new format and will not recover until they select one of the 4 announcers to be their "news brand" a la Mansbrige Laflamme etc.

Well put! And the sad part is, the media are purposely trying to tear apart the fabric of this country - the fabric upon which their rights to spin stories as they wish is built. I wonder how long it will be before this country is a banana republic and they rue the day that they were so reckless with their propaganda!

singles: was invited there with duck fan last year. ample food and space as you say. rents are raging and leases end. glenwood keeps changing month to month.

His affair with Monica? I would agree with that statement. Bill didn't run on a family values platform like serial philanderer Newt. Were it to have happened today, his case with Flowers would have drummed him from the party. Odds are history will look unkindly on us for that. Today, as in right now, you are faced with a similar dilemma. Will you stand for the moral values that supposedly spurred Clinton's impeachment, or abandon them and show the world that your party matters more than your values?Clinton was accused of sexual harassment and he cheated on his wife. Moore allegedly molested a 14 year old girl and made her touch his erect penis. Both are bad, which is worse? Tu quoque won't save you from this choice: your moral principles, or your party.

I did? I do not remember that. LOL, maybe it was because of the time Hillary sexually assaulted me. ;-)

See my post above. You evidently can't hear the left because you aren't listening. We are equal opportunity haters of sexual harassment, no matter who is doing the harassing.

Da, I speak Russian Mrs. Como Estas! I'm glad you like my name. I find that it denotes support for Russian language and culture because why else would someone choose a screen name with a positive greeting in a foreign language? I am glad you are putting your forced Spanish language coursework to good use with the bold use of "como estas." You could have chosen any screen name, but you chose to honor the exceptionally beautiful Spanish language and culture. Vamos! I realize from your postings that you are against these particular students learning Mandarin or Spanish, but on the flip side, maybe the kids just need to learn basic words like "como estas" in order to feign support for a foreign culture. What do you think? It's much easier to learn a few cordial greetings, right?

. . . money on lawyers (if they haven't already?). Personally, I'd like to see that money preserved in the event the payback to the city provision kicks in at the end of L Kealoha's trial. The thing that really interests me is this from the article, relative to the Kealohas getting a "loan": "Seabright told the couple, “the court will work with you on that. … That option is there.”" What is the Judge going to do? Order some poor fool to lend the Kealohas money that will never be paid back? Is he going to promise that however the prosecution ends, he'll make sure the Kealohas can be out there earning income to pay back a loan? Who in their right mind, unless coerced by a Federal Judge, is going to lend these people money? Isn't part of the indictment a specific allegation that their credit sucked in the first place? Before these charges were even leveled?

Seem to me no one can do a worst job then UH has done. From the 1960s till present they have failed at it.

In my mind, much ado about nothing. Most of my 48 years in the workforce were "non-white collared". Took my lunch to work often. I'm not in the least bit offended. But if you want to be, then go for it. Your choice.

And it's across the board. It doesn't seem to matter what sport it is. There were at least 6 or 8 guys posting all summer about the Rockies imminent collapse. After a win? Nowhere to be found, unless they were complaining about the uniform choice or the party deck..

Indexes contain the good, average and the ugly for an average result, so I don't measure by them. I am a stock-picker and hold long-term. My holdings are showing solid reported returns and some are raising dividends. So far so good and corrections or recessions come and go regularly. My positive results are based on no financial wizardry either.

Was not green power, it is the cost of nuke refurbishment

Let's just make sure there are absolutely no state tax incentives or tax relief for them to move here - especially along the Front Range - nor should we be required to subsidize water, housing, infrastructure, schools etc.. We already have big gaps in transportation funding, education funding, roads and bridges without bringing 50K or more people here needing these services when they arrive. The few would benefit and the rest would pay through the nose. They want corporate welfare and we don't need Amazon HQ. It contributed to problems in Seattle that we are already experiencing. We don't need Amazon HQ and in fact, we don't need to grow grow grow for a healthy economy. I learned that in Economics.

How many people do we really think had their vote influenced by anything on facebook or twitter? Methinks we're making a mountain out of a tiny, tiny molehill with such nonsense.

The woman is 53, not 14. The allegations are from 38 years ago, not more than 30. Apparently the Washington Examiner has decided to join the Swamp in putting the worst face possible on unproven and unprovable accusations.

It's clear that people are making an effort to put an end to these practices. They've gone on for many years and people are saying "enough!" No more. Just like many other "wrong" things that were allowed to happen and then the human conscious matures and says "no more." Maybe you'll catch up some day.

Just think by 2098 the world will have 11.4 billion people. Presently we have 7.3 billion.

Because Flynn is not stupid enough to get involved in the kidnapping of a dual citizen who is likely also on the payroll of the CIA. Sorry if I did not make that clear.

Still waiting for Brad's Globe colleague, Russell Smith, to apologize for his nasty, incorrect column on Joni Mitchell. He never had the decency or courage to admit her hospitalization was for a very medically real aneurysm. The inspiration to malign Ms. Mitchell's psyche is something only mean spirited heart and mind of Russell Smith can understand, but in the aftermath of fact, he demonstrated a lack of character for not atoning for his error. https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/arts/music/its-time-to-stop-tiptoeing-around-joni-mitchells-health-condition/article23883495/?ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com&

Russia. The slimiest of the world's great powers.

Maybe he had to go to the washroom.

Let's not forget Billy Bob and the ever forgiving and grasping Billary. Billary, while not the VP (she thought she got that job as a twofer with Billy Bob as POTUS) or POTUS, was the enabler (for the chief) and will hold that tiara for a long, long time. Correction: forever.

I addition to the existing reactions there should be an additional one... STUPID.

And of course he'll get elected.

A friend of mine who lives in Madison has told me (and this is admittedly hearsay) that when Bp. Morlino goes out for supper, he takes an entourage of priests with him. When the waiter or waitress tries to speak to him to get his order, or ask how his meal is, he IGNORES them and won’t speak to them. Only someone from his entourage will speak to the waiter/waitress. If true, this is not a pastor but some ontological elitist. I hope it isn’t true but somehow think it is based upon his attitudes and behaviors.

It's not surprising that those who think Moore did nothing wrong are the same ones who think Trump never grabbed women's pussy's, and that all those who accused him were nothing more than lying women .

My point is still correct. And repubs like Roy Moore make my case for me. 14 year olds? So republican.

Clintons are criminals, only walking free because their corrupt washington scum friends protect them. SO what's new?

"If a person doesn't know for what or for whom he's voting, it's actually better not to vote at all." What the hell are you talking about, Joe? It's the responsibility of all Americans to vote. It's NOT your responsibility to determine if it's better for someone "not to vote at all". If these people continue to vote, they will eventually become more informed. That's what a democratic system is all about. Besides, if hundreds or thousands of people who don't know for what or for whom they're voting go ahead and vote any way, the law of averages dictate that half will vote the opposite of the other half and result in having no affect on the outcome.

It does not excuse what happened, but points for owning it.

Never heard of their Black Sea ports and Saint Petersburg?

So far all of the GOP tax bills are wealth transfers to the 1% and benefits the idle rich and and their offspring for eternity. This is nothing more than a huge screwing of the middle and lower classes.

This so called story about Judge Moore is a pack of lies. The "reporter" per gotnews.com is a convicted criminal by the name Stephanie McCrummin who has been convicted 4 times in 3 states of writing fake checks. So much for the " journalistic integrity " of the Washington Post. Judge Moore should sue the Washington Post into bankruptcy!

Actually both India and china are cutting coal back due to air quality. And Ontario has spent more on nuke refurbishment than for green power which is still a tiny part of power generation. They also do not need coal generation for the grid anymore. Didn't you notice?

What are you talking about? If you think the left has been silent then you must be deaf. This article is a great example.

Allegations are not proof.

Scroll up. It's on this thread.

That's Third Lady Melania Trump dumped his first two wives. An example of Trump 'family values'.

This sentence is a disgrace. He should be charged and spend some time in jail. What kind of a message are you sending to the public? We all know he is taking the fall for Blair, Mcguinty, and Harper.

Hey, what's the hurry?............hang loose ya?

"The GOP’s refusal to disown Roy Moore’s candidacy was a scandal when this week started. Republicans were already asking Alabama voters to elect a lawless, delusionally bigoted theocrat to the Senate. Now, they’re asking them to elect one who is also probably a child molester — on the grounds that there is no documentary evidence of his predations, and, anyway, corporations really need a tax cut." http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/11/gop-to-alabama-vote-for-an-accused-child-molester.html

Install more cross walks? Slow down the cars? There is a responsibility on pedestrians as well drivers. Edmonton has many more cross walks than Calgary and correspondingly more pedestrians killed or hurt at crosswalks. Just something to think about.

WTF do singers know about anything beyond their craft?

These are supposed to be specially screened individuals who would not succumb to the acute stress to which they knew they would be exposed to as special forces . While my sympathy goes to the individuals who were improperly screened , how about the screening process which permits these ill suited individuals to be accepted into SF?

Harper should be having a very good laugh every time he picks up a paper these days.

Off they went in all innocence to fight a war that was going to be over by Christmas. How could the politicians and generals allowed it to go on for 4 years. A generation of young men were wiped out and a generation of young women had no one to marry and bear children with and a generation of aged parents had no one to pass the family farm onto.

If you have been doing it for the last 8 years, then it's hardly an accomplishment. However, if you are happy with the results over the last 30-40 years, then hats off to you...

Actually, John, Harper's "foul" policy wanting people to remove face coverings for 30 seconds for the citizenship oath is considered pretty tame by the 65% of Canadians favouring the removal of face coverings in all interactions involving the provision of public services. And no informed person confuses Andrew Scheer, his shadow cabinet and Conservative policies with Trump, his cabinet and policies. So these two "big problems" you think the Tories have are not really very big. Eerily similar to the run up by Trudeau 1.0 in the 1972 election that saw him win only a minority and only by 2 seats is the run up - and the problems - that Trudeau 2.0 now faces. As in 1972, they include a growing belief by Canadians west of Quebec that the current PM and his self destructing cabinet are inept at managing the economy, the public finances and the legislative agenda and are biased to Quebec. And Singh like David Lewis in 1972 will recapture significant numbers of voters from the Liberals.

Motley: I'm sorry that I wasn't clear. The "strawman" argument I reference is that the alternative to "paddling, etc" is tolerating that "wild animal behavior." As I teacher I was very, very demanding and provided both consequences and "counseling" when a student misbehaved. I "preached" early and effective intervention to the 'regular' classroom teachers. If you tolerate dysfunctional behavior, you will "get" dysfunctional behavior. I think we'd likely agree on the pressing need for more accountability for students. I hate to say it, but from what I read of today's school climate, I'm not sure I'd receive the administrative support for the demands I placed on student classroom behavior. I won't blame it on any specific folks, but I do feel today's schools tolerate behavior I would never have accepted. I don't think that's doing anyone any favors. Gary (old-school, hard-nosed teacher/counselor) Crum

Anthony Weiner.

Sad to see anyone not understand what "free speech" truly entails.

Given the evidence (multiple unrelated accusers, - some of which even voted for Trump, none affiliated with Democrats - dozens of interviews that corroborate events, court records that confirm the timeline, etc) he probably isn't. His alleged crime is exempt from the statute of limitations, though, so maybe one day we'll find out. Clinton was never convicted of a sex crime, it never stopped Republicans from calling him unfit... All that fact does for them today is prove their rank hypocrisy.

The G&M has always been a Toronto paper.

Definitely the NICEST: https://twitter.com/HnstyNgov/status/710647812434755584/photo/1
