I’m putting all my money in tin-foil futures

World Net Daily is surely one of the most incredibly paranoid spots on the net.  It’s no wonder that Fark calls it “World Nut Daily”.

Case in point.

Headline: 2012 forecast: Food riots, ghost malls, mob rule, terror

A “trends forecaster” named Gerald Celente of TrendsResearch.com gazes into his crystal ball and comes up with:

Here we are in 2012. Food riots, tax protests, farmer rebellions, student revolts, squatter diggins, homeless uprisings, tent cities, ghost malls, general strikes, bossnappings, kidnappings, industrial saboteurs, gang warfare, mob rule, terror

WND, ever ready to make a buck from the loonies that eat this shit up, has a helpful link to their store where you can purchase such necessities as:

Armed Response: A Comprehensive Guide to Using Firearms for Self-Defense

“David Kenik presents a comprehensive guide for using firearms as defence before, and after a life threatening assault.  He explains responsible use of lethal force, as well as assessing possible threats of survival and their potential impact.”

Sounds like a valuable reference guide when those revolting students or those “dugin” squatters start pounding on your door to eat your food and rape your daughters.  Act now!  On special for only $14.95 or put it on your wish list.

Perhaps you want to give the scum a fighting chance instead of just opening fire with your assault rifle.  Just grab the three iron and tee off with the official “WorldNetDaily Tournament Plus Golf Balls.  Keep your head down and your feet planted and that dammed hippie from the nearby tent city will go down right quick when he gets a screamer right between the eyes.

 

Start shopping as these beauties are only available in limited quantities and are marked down from $12.95 to only $8.95.

Priced to move at only $4.95 (down from $25.95)

Obama wins Nobel peace prize

Never has one single man been saddled with so many expectations.  Barack Obama, not having enough pressure being President of the United States, is now the 2009 recipient of the Nobel peace prize.

Are anyone’s shoulders that broad?  Why would we want to hang the world’s hopes on someone who already has far too much on his plate.  Two wars, a fractured House and Senate and a lingering terrible recession hangover should be enough but, no, now he’s being burdened with either congratulations on what he’s done (?) or will do to make the world a safer place.

I like the man.  Hell, I REALLY like the man but this is just unfair.

A friend sent me this.  The Canadian Air & Space Museum on Google Street View.  I think this is the first time I’ve actually seen something from Street View that I actually recognize (though I haven’t spent much time looking).

The full link for those of you who want to get orientated is here.

So I screwed around and guess what?  They’ve even come by my house!

On October 4, 1957 RL-201 rolled out of the Avro hanger in Malton Ontario.

The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow was ready to fly.  Less than 2 years later, the dream died with the cancellation of the project and the destruction of all the aircraft.

Fast forward to 2009.  The Canadian Air & Space Museum’s full size replica on the move.
