Get ready. You can always tell when a federal election is coming in Canada. The political parties commence a frenzy of fundraising. The commentariat start speculating incessantly about when, exactly, the election will take place. The media start writing profiles of backroom “strategists” who real folks don’t care about. Oh,

Almost wipes out. Hilarity ensues. Caption contest!

Apropos of nothing, here is my new fave, Plague Vendor, live. The words above come from a comment below the fan’s video, and they sum things up rather nicely. There is god-like genius at work here, folks. PLAGUE VENDOR FINAL from Kevin Zacher on Vimeo.

Your Honour, we present this exhibit! He’s clearing the decks. Could be for the Fall, sure, but I still think the Spring. Who’s with me?

Now magazine is irritated with Your Humble Narrator.  For a while – um – now, the alt weakly has been in a state of high dudgeon, and it would be super boring if it weren’t for this: I’m researching a column on some of the hypocrisies of the so-called Left, to try

Quote: “Mulcair is the only leader of a federal party who stands a fair chance of losing his job following the federal election, tentatively slated for later this year.” I’m not sure I agree with my colleague, who I almost always agree with.  Here’s a couple other scenarios: The economy

Apologies for getting all Toronto-centric, but the media in The Centre of the Universe are this morning filled with stories about how the new mayor is going to “get tough” with illegally parked vehicles during rush hour, blah blah blah. There are dozens of such stories. Here’s the question I

Me: "Wow, you slept late, buddy." Son 3: "Dad, I'm a teenager now. Teenagers sleep in." Me [with much sadness]: "Oh. Right." — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) January 4, 2015

If you were asked to assign a word to 2014, what would it be? Cold? It was indisputably that. Uncertain? With oil costing far less‎ and housing costing ever more, unquestionably. Frightening? ISIS and Ebola ensured that it was. Politically, there really is no single word that can be easily

Some of 2014 was kind of meh. I can now reveal, for example, my big news: I was going to be the host of a show on Sun News – but that show got cancelled before it even got aired! Drag. Would’ve been fun. Father John Daly, my priest, knows

About 60 per cent of Twitter is scolding. It’s like a giant social media hall monitor, and it’s irritating as Hell. — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) December 31, 2014 UPDATE: A citizen responds.

NEW YORK – It’s a cliché‎, but like a lot of clichés it’s true: a week is a long time in politics. British politician Harold Wilson said that, or something like that. In political life, Wilson’s axiom is the only universal truth: everything can change, dramatically, in the blink of

My Twitter take, on a rainy NYC morning.  Link here.

Third iteration of it, in the Village. You can see the original version in the video posted below, on December 22. Don’t know who the woman is who photo bombed it.

This is where Lala and I will be tomorrow: • CBGB’s and The Fillmore East • Joey Ramone’s NYC pad • St. Marks Hotel • Trash and Vaudeville • Iggy Pop’s former residence • Andy Warhol’s place • The Velvet Underground’s hangout • Madonna’s first NYC apartment Not sure how

I also got the new Fender Rascal bass.

Not Cocker (although RIP to him, too). Strummer – our hero, our muse, our shining light. Twelve years today.

Nor any Sun columnist, pretty much.  They’ve given us the week off to run cartoons and whatnot (there’s a joke in there, if you think about it). The column will resume in the New Year and – after that – who knows.  In the meantime, stay tuned to this bat
