Formed in 1967, Chicago is not only one of the best-selling bands of all time, they're still recording and touring. I saw 'em in concert a number of years ago, although it was well after the untimely death of the great Terry Kath, original member, guitarist and vocalist. For those of you unfamiliar, Kath unintentionally blew his brains out eight days before his 32nd birthday.

They've referred to themselves as "a rock band with horns". I listened to this song a lot many years ago. Released from their 2nd album in 1970, it features Kath on lead vocals and is still damn


Amen.

David Eby's latest position on pipelines boils down to this:
He's "open" to a new pipeline in B.C. as long as it can't actually move Canadian oil to the very coast he's talking about.

He says his "anxiety" is all about the tanker ban, because it's the "foundational social licence" for tens of billions in investment. Translation: LNG tankers, cruise ships, and foreign freighters are fine... but Canadian oil on Canadian tankers to Canadian ports is apparently an unacceptable risk.

He now brags about helping increase Trans Mountain capacity by 40 per cent "through gritted teeth," after fighting that same project for years. So he fought the jobs, fought the tax revenue, fought the infrastructure and now that it's built and publicly owned, he wants credit for tolerating it.

And when he's pressed on federal jurisdiction, he shrugs and says, essentially, "Well, if Ottawa imposes it, they impose it, no point fighting." This is the same premier who just tried to blame Donald Trump and Alberta for his own failures on jobs and investment. Now he's suddenly discovered federal power and wants British Columbians to believe he's the reasonable one in the room.
Here's the truth:
You can't be "open" to pipelines while clinging to a tanker ban that kills the very projects you claim to welcome.

You can't call Alberta's pipeline deal "unacceptable" one week and then pretend you're ready for "creative solutions" the next.

You can't fight nation-building projects for years, then pose as the adult in the room once they're built.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on November 30, 2025, 01:17:55 PMI've said it many times - that bastard factory is doing schoolyards and playgrounds a public service confining kiddie predators like Admin to the computer for 22.5 hours a day

Say what you will about the place but even the online version of a out-of-order truck stop with the exploded feces smeared all over the bathroom tiles services a valuable purpose

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent most of Thanksgiving evening in handcuffs while the NYPD sorted through a "domestic disturbance" at her family's Annual gathering.
While no charges were filed, sources close to the situation say AOC was the instigator of an argument over politics that turned "dangerously violent."
"She's not a very rational person," said one of the officers on scene, "She doesn't let anyone get a word in edgewise."
Is anyone really surprised?
