i've been a be good tanya fan for years and consider them to be a successful band. they've put out several albums and i've even purchased a few of them. so it was a great surprise when i learned that one of the band members WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT and was in financial hardship. maybe i just fell off the turnip truck but i thought that members of a successful band would be rolling in the dough. not so it would seem. justin beiber has $100,000,000.00 and one of the be good tanyas can't come up with $10,000. something isn't right.
you might have to live in vancouver to appreciate this song but it's still an excellent piece of music:
but what the fuck, who ever said the world made sense? there has been huge opposition to the keystone pipeline with protesters saying the world will end and the pipeline will ruin the enviroment. well guess what, if the pipeline isn't built the oil will be moved by rail and RAILWAY ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, 42 people confirmed dead, 5 missing and a town burned down to rat shit. and a few days ago it happened again, CN TRAIN STILL BURNING. that's right, the accident occurred on october 19 and the son of a bitch is still burning. yes, kill those pipelines and build more trains.
one further comment on keystone. obama is still farting and tap dancing over whether or not to issue his royal decree giving consent to complete the pipeline or whether to mothball the fucking thing. there is lots of arguing over economic or enviromental impact but that's got fuck all to do with the decision. any investor worth his or her salt knew a few years ago that nothing would happen until after the 2014 mid term elections.
but fuck the piplelines and railroads, let's celebrate the genius of the be good tanyas!
i love you sons of bitches and my tires are still inflated!

If he thought he could get away with it Harper would sell that tire air to the Chinese. God knows it's better than the air they have over there right now. :-)
Why don't you just build the pipeline across your country to the coast? The fucking oil goes on the world market and gets shipped to China anyway.
Because they need the refineries in Texas that are capable of processing crappy, sulferous oil, like what the Venezuelans have been shipping us for years... or so I read while checking out at the grocery store.
As I recall there are sane people in Canada that don't want a pipeline going across their land, so why should we want it? We just had a fucking pipeline leak in N.D.
They can make their own refinery up there. Oh hell, I have no solutions that would make everyone happy, but I admire the problem.
demueur - harper has his hands full with the senate scandal right now. he does like doing business with china and pandering to israel.
king - there are 3 proposed pipelines to carry the oil in canada. i think 2 of them will get approved. the west to east pipeline and the twinning of the kinder morgan pipeline to the west coast.
thims - it is dirty oil but i don't think it's as bad as all that fracking going on right now that will fuck up the water supply.
Who could object to an all-girl band whose members play their own instruments and sing in natural voices? I hope they'll start a collection for the one in financial difficulties. How often do pipelines leak in this day-and-age?
(off subject, but)
Jerky treats leave nearly 600 dogs dead in 'mysterious outbreak', said treats made in China.
Better to make your own jerky treats using coon meat.
gb - how often pipelines leak? considering the fact that there are thousands of pipelines around the world, there's probably one leaking right now. just as there's probably a train off the tracks right now.
king - 600 dead dogs! ruby doesn't like the sound of that.
There was a nasty leak in Texas a while back. But at least it wasn't set on fire and thrown all around town...
The question is whether it makes sense to extract shale oil. If it does, then does it make sense to refine it in the same wasteland that you create by extracting it. But even with local refineries, you still have to move product, and I'd say that pipes are clearly better than trains.
Still, the original question remains: does it make sense to turn central Canada into Mordor? The money says so, but money doesn't give a damn about externalities.
Oil companies are powerful and will cheat others all they can, just ask Sarah Palin.
i don't think turning alberta into mordor is a problem. the tailing ponds are among the best in the world and forest will soon grow when the project is complete. the big problem is all the toxins produced and the greenhouse gasses. but compared to the coal being burned in china it's a drop in the bucket. i might add that we sell a shit load of coal to china.
i'm not an advocate of the oil sands, far from it. i just get frustrated with all the fucknuts complaining about them but still driving their fat kids to school in an suv. i said it before, the answer is to cut consumption and lower prices then the whole oil sands project will be mothballed.
if you remember, my depressed friend lost a lot of money shorting railroads. that's why i like to get in a few digs at the railroad robber barons.
the stock he shorted, cp, had good earnings today and jumped about $14 to $148. he covered his position at about $125.
oh yeah, there is a person i've been trying to help but has not seemed interested. it appears he did reach out for help but it ended up in my junk folder.
i model my business after the old columbia record club.
I would like to have a rig that runs on propane, or natural gas. I once drove a truck on propane a few thousand miles and it worked fine.
can i call the mighty hyundai a rig?
Of course....
Those fuckers put the bag in this box of wine backwards, how did that happen?
Well, maybe frump wasn't in charge of quality control.
Forgive me father for I have made fun of a catlick, er, I mean, cuntlick.
Looks like we can expect a fair amount of fog here for a few days. Fucking fog...
very little fog here today. i can hang my laundry on the line, lucky me.
I don't like line dried laundry, it seems sort of stiff when you take it off the line.
Those last three comments are quite riveting pilgrim.
Billy, mate, I _didn't_ get where _I_ am today by not being cynical. Let's face it, mate, you're just flying that hippy flag of yours again. Oil's oil, America needs it, therefore every fucker needs it, and we have to accept it and get on with our sad, mundane lives. 'Be seen and not heard's' the answer! Accidents will always happen, and sadly, these people just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. RIP. Shrewsbury Folk Festival saw a shit performance by the Be Good Tanyas, who just happen to have a very unlucky vocalist. 'Life's a bitch, and then you die', as they say.
Unfortunately it's being so cynical that's got me where _I_ am today.
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful Day/Night!
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Steve...
