See if you can guess where the wagonburner is. This is one of the primary crops grown in the area. You probably have some in your house right now.
Here’s a closer look:
This is the view out my palatial hotel window:
The weather’s cool and rainy.

Looks like mustard. I’m guessing somewhere in Canada. Probably Alberta.

I also thought mustard first thing. Just because the flowers are yellow. Then I thought France because I know they grow mustard there. The photo does not look like France.

G’Morning all
I don’t know where you are, but you’re overlooking a Ford dealer next door to a Shell station, the license plates are white , the advert. banners are in English and there’s a Frito Lay truck in the parking lot. Since the dealer is small, I would guess a small town near near Seattle Wash.

McConnell: Give Obama New Powers on Debt Limit
Tuesday, 12 Jul 2011 04:05 PMWASHINGTON (AP) — The top Republican in the Senate proposed on Tuesday giving President Barack Obama sweeping new power to, in effect, unilaterally increase the nation’s debt limit to avoid a first-ever default on U.S. obligations.
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., offered a new plan to allow the president to demand up to $2.4 trillion in new borrowing authority by the summer of next year in three separate submissions. Those increases in the so-called debt limit would automatically take effect unless both the Republican House and the Democratic Senate enact legislation specifically disapproving it.
Obama would be able to veto such legislation.

If his juevoes are that useless, then perhaps Cathy needs to visit him
JULY 12–In the year’s most horrifying police press release, cops in Garden Grove, California describe how a woman last night allegedly cut off her husband’s penis.
According to investigators, Catherine Kieu Becker, 48, “used an unknown type poison and/or drug in the male’s food to make him sleepy. She tied him to the bed and as he woke the female cut off his penis” with a 10-inch kitchen knife. Becker, pictured in the mug shot at right, then allegedly “tossed the penis…in the garbage disposal and turned the disposal to the ‘on’ position.”

#7 Geezer: MCConnell-terd is worthless. With the statement in your first block quote, he properly defined what is wrong with the establishment R-pukes. Phrased a little differently:
“Gee wilikers, I can’t seem to persuade BHO to even cut back a little bit, heck fire, I even said please! I am going to remove myself from the problem and just give him the authority to go over the line by only 2.4 TRILLION. I know, I will be real tough on him and make him ask for it each of the 3 times.”
That has to be the lamest, limpest, weak-a$$ed stupid response I have seen in my adult lifetime for any subject from any “adult”.
He is simply not worthy of the position he holds, nor that of dog catcher for that matter, and I offer him this universal sign of contempt. -

A 41-year-old Clarksville woman was arrested after Nashville airport authorities say she was belligerent and verbally abusive to security officers, refusing for her daughter to be patted down at a security checkpoint.
So just how does this work, she said no and refused to be treated as a sheeple and they arrested her. Would they arrest her if she said no politely?
“(She) told me in a very stearn voice with quite a bit of attitude that they were not going through that X-ray,” Sabrina Birge, an airport security officer, told police.
“No, it’s not an X-ray,” she told Abbott. “It is 10,000 times safer than your cell phone and uses the same type of radio waves as a sonogram.”
I am pretty sure this is a bald faced lie. If they are speaking of the magnetometer, or metal detector, then that may be true, if they are speaking of the full body nude imager then the statement that it is 10000 times safer than a cell phone is a lie.

GE Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt is a POS.
“The people who are part of the business sector, the people in this room, have got to stop complaining about government and get some action underway,” he told the group. “There’s no excuse today for lack of leadership. The truth is we all need to be part of the solution.”
Immelt is the chair of President Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.Didn’t the POS Immelt get a waiver from Obamacare for GE? Doesn’t GE get most of the military jet engine business? Hasn’t GE laid off close to 30000 people in the last couple of years but miraculously not gotten any negative press for it, or for his exhorbitant salary? Isn’t Immelt one of O’s biggest financial supporters outside of the unions? This really stinks of quid pro quo, or to put it in more understandable terms, bribery and corruption.

Canada is a world leader in condiment mustard seed marketing, accounting for 70 to 80 per cent of global exports, annually. The largest market for Canadian mustard seed is the United States, followed by Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Japan.
I’m further narrowing my guess to Edmonton.

Just say no to debt increase. Since our Dear Leader cannot guaranty payment of our obligations now, expect to see a serious downgrade in our credit rating and the ongoing depreciation in our currency (which of course is exactly in keeping with his plan to destroy America). Good work there Mr. President.

It is way past time to start cutting the stoooooopid BS in the Govt>
Dept of Education
Dept of Commerce
Dept of Energy
Dept of Interior
close and liquidate all above departments
Dept of Agriculture reduce by at least 70%, limit functions to seed libraries, better understanding of soil/crop rotation/fallow period, meat inspection and the like.Sell all vacant federal office buildings
Kick the UN out of the US and withdraw the US from the UN
Start selling some of the vast tracts of Federal Lands in Alaska and the western states.
Move all budget items, not eliminated by above measures, back to FY 2007 funding levels in real dollars and institute zero baseline budgets for all agencies/budget items in the future.If we were to START the negotiations with the above list already in place and cut from there, we could fix the budget problem in no time. Let’s face it folks, the federal govt needs to shrink by at least 40% within the next 2 years or we are doomed.

Hammy, I know I prolly left out a bunch, but like I said, it is a start. If a genuine constitutional originalist were to go through the entire budget and start whacking away first at the most egregious non-constitutionally authorized spending, by the time he got to some marginal areas, we could prolly pay the debt in 3-5 years with the dramatic surplus that would ensue.

An interesting letter from my inbox today:
The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez and published in a Spanish newspaper on Jan. 15 2008. It doesn’t take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe – and possibly to the rest of the world.
IT WAS IN A SPANISH PAPER
Date: Tue. 15 January 2008 14:30EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ
By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez
I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz … We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.
The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world.
These are the people we burned.And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.
Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.
And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.
We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.
What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe ..
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offends’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.
This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were ‘murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated’ Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people. Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.
How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center ‘NEVER HAPPENED’ because it offends some Muslim in the United States ?

Stimulus I and II, QE I and II dramatically increased the debt, did not increase employment outside of govt, devalued our currency. The Bernake is now threatening another round of that which does not work because he does not know what else to do.
He has already admitted that he does no know why the previous stimuli did not work and now he wants to do wissin more of what did not work in the past????
The only thing that the stimuli has done is dramatically increase our interest costs and produce negative jobs growth. -

#23 – Mr. BC – Once again I am compelled to point out that you may be falling prey to the normal assumption that someone holding high office in this land would wish to take actions which actually either cause or allow beneficial effects for the nation. However, if your intent was not pure, and your wish was to destroy or at least bring this great country to its knees, then you might readily see where QE3 would not only be desirable but in fact necessary since the country is wobbly but still standing. QE does a couple of desirable things for the administration – it further debases the currency rapidly while at the same time it keeps the stock market propped up creating the illusion of prosperity. Thus, the great unwashed cannot complain too much as their 401(k) is holding its value and they wonder what all the fuss is about – until they go to the gas pump or the grocery store.
Anyway, all is well in Obamaville, or will be as soon as the Republicans cave on this debt ceiling thing.

The baby alarm yesterday was a false one. No baby yet for my assistant, but it did give me a chance to see if my temporary assistant could handle the pressure. She came in last minute, jumped right in, and did an awesome job.
Regular assistant came in this morning, looking rather beat up, but she and new assistant have gotten along famously. Training continues tomorrow morning for the newbie. When baby arrives, I will be in good hands.
I love it when things work out.

Finally got back to the computer. All-day meeting.
Hammie gets a partial prize. I’m in Edmonton.
The reason for the partial? First of all it’s not Edmunton.
Second, I’m pretty sure the flowers are not mustard. I think they are rape plants (related to mustard and cabbage). The seed from the rape plant are crushed to yield a cooking oil, one variety of which is canola (CANadian Oilseed – Low Acid).

In the American system, if you read the Constitution correctly — this is why I wrote “A Nation Like No Other” — if you read the Federalist Papers correctly, the fact is the Congress can pass a law and can limit the Court’s jurisdiction. It’s written directly in the Constitution. The Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton promises, I think it’s Number 78, that the judiciary branch is the weakest of the three branches. There is no Supreme Court in the American Constitution. There’s the court which is the Supreme of the judicial branch, but it’s not supreme over the legislative and executive branch. We now have this entire national elite that wants us to believe that any five lawyers are a Constitutional convention. That is profoundly un-American and profoundly wrong.

In the American system, if you read the Constitution correctly — this is why I wrote “A Nation Like No Other” — if you read the Federalist Papers correctly, the fact is the Congress can pass a law and can limit the Court’s jurisdiction. It’s written directly in the Constitution. The Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton promises, I think it’s Number 78, that the judiciary branch is the weakest of the three branches. There is no Supreme Court in the American Constitution. There’s the court which is the Supreme of the judicial branch, but it’s not supreme over the legislative and executive branch. We now have this entire national elite that wants us to believe that any five lawyers are a Constitutional convention. That is profoundly un-American and profoundly wrong.

One other thing.
I went through Canadian customs in Calgary. It must be me, but every time I’ve come to Canada, I have a hard time getting in because of work issues. Used to be that I was actually doing paid consulting work as a vendor for Canadian companies as my customers. This time, I am visiting one of our own plants and they still hassled me. One time before, I got to spend three wonderful days sitting on my own personal a$$ in Port Huron, MI trying to get across the bridge to Sarnia, ON.
ok, two 😀 After I cleared customs, I wound up in the main concourse outside the secure area. Going through security was actually not bad. I got “randomly selected” to get my hands swabbed to look for explosives residue (which I passed). In return, I got to go through the “nice people” line, which was pretty fast-moving. I did not have to remove my shoes (nobody else did either unless the metal detector went off); laptops stayed in the case; liquids stayed in the suitcase. Common-sense non theater security.
And the screeners were intelligent, professional, and courteous – everything those TSA dolts are not.

I’m further narrowing my guess to Edmonton.
Darren is the one who said Edmunton, but Darren’s spelling is often “non-traditional”. 🙂 Plus I’m not even sure what country he was talking about. He mentioned several states, but I didn’t find any US city spelled that way.

Canola Oil
Back in the 70s, when agronomists finally came up with a lab hybrid from wild rapeseed plants, it was determined the oil could be marketed as an alternative to corn oil used so heavily in the US. The problem was the name. The Canucks knew trying to market something called RAPEseed oil was going to be a problem.
Thus they arrive upon Can-o-la: CANadian Oil Low Acid
And Hamous is right again !
The rapeseed plant is a member of the mustard family.

No that is not correct. The VMG are the folks that go with the wind that is blown up their skirt. They generally vote liberal and are not really worth the time that people (politicians especially repukicans) spend courting them.

The term means “and from the Son” and refers to the phrase in the Western version of the Nicene Creed which says that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. Originally this was not in the confessions agreed to at Nicaea (325) and Constantinople (381). It seems to have been first inserted at the local Council of Toledo (589) and in spite of opposition gradually established itself in the West, being officially endorsed in 1017. Photius of Constantinople denounced it in the ninth century, and it formed the main doctrinal issue in the rupture between East and West in 1054. An attempted compromise at Florence in 1439 came to nothing. Among the fathers Hilary, Jerome, Ambrose, Augustine, Epiphanius, and Cyril of Alexandria may be cited in its favor; Theodore of Mopsuestia and Theodoret against it; with the Cappadocians occupying the middle ground of “from the Father through the Son.”
One word makes a huge difference. (No spiritual pun intended 🙂 )

“He shoved back and said ‘I’ll see you tomorrow’ and walked out,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told reporters in the Capitol after the meeting.
On a day when the Moody’s rating agency warned that American debt could be downgraded, the White House talks blew up amid a new round of sniping between Obama and Cantor, who are fast becoming bitter enemies.

Could it be true? The Reps stood up to the thug in chief, and not getting his way, the TIC left the room in a huff? Are they starting to show a little spine after all? Are they starting to realize what many of us have known all along – the emperor has no clothes?
They’ve got his trapped if they can stand firm. He’s already admitted the country cannot pay its obligations – the rating services normally accept the word of the President of the company on something like that when considering debt ratings – I would immediate go to CCC just on that statement.
Oh well, I’ve gotten my hopes up before. Wouldn’t it really be something though if they did the right thing and did not raise the debrt ceiling and started methodically cutting spending? What a daydream.
