Warren Kinsella: Notable Bishop Carroll alumni
There are so many things you can (and you guys likely will) say about this page on their web site. Personally, I’m not sure how that creepy-looking guy got into the last spot.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Bloodbuzz, Ohio, CBC Radio, Indie 88 and me
In the mornings, I listen to CBC Radio. Always have. But when they start playing “music,” I turn them off. Calling the “music” on CBC Radio is inaccurate. It is more accurate to call it “coma-inducing droning that is worse than elevator Muzak.” So, increasingly, I flip over to newcomer
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Toronto Star: John Tory’s legacy
His greatest mistakes, the paper says: Attacking Jean Chretien’s facial disfigurement. Trying to introduce negative-option billing. Pushing for funding of private religious schools. That’s his legacy, says the Star. I agree. But I would add one more item to the list: Until he figured out the Harper guys didn’t want
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: John Tory, the Elitist Conservative Candidate for Mayor
His continual bleating and braying about his fear of an “NDP mayor” is somewhat irritating – there is no “NDP mayor” in the race, and partisan affiliations aren’t even permitted in Toronto municipal politics. But if he keeps telling lies about us, well, we’ll keep telling the truth about him. That
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Now we know what John Tory was doing
In response to my post below, one of my favourite-est Twitter people, the satirical John Tory account guy/gal, has come up with an answer as to where they could easily picture John Tory hanging out. It’s with fellow Conservatives!
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Somehow, I can’t picture John Tory doing this
It’d be like asking Thurston Howell II to hang with Skrillex or Daft Punk. It can’t be done. Here’s Olivia at Electric Island on the weekend. Pic by StreetsTO.

“If you guys had stayed together, you would’ve been really big,” daughter said to me this afternoon, as we headed back from the cabin. “But you wouldn’t have had me, and that would’ve sucked.” Word. .

Is Marc Emery a secret agent for the Conservative Party of Canada? It sure looks that way. It’s impossible that you have not heard of the World’s Most Famous Pothead. But, in the event that you have been in a coma for the past while, consider this a primer, gratis.

Here. A flim-flam artist is someone who engages in a “trick or deception, especially a swindle or confidence game.” Yep. .

Capricious, unstructured and even dangerous: That’s what American political thinker Walter Lippmann once wrote about the public’s views on foreign policy. “The unhappy truth,” he wrote in 1955, “is that the prevailing public opinion has been destructively wrong at critical junctures. [The people] have compelled governments to be too late

Be joyous! The ten-day celebration of the birth of the Warren Child is almost here. Your offers of gifts will be received with thanks, here.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: John Tory has the worst judgment in the history of the world
The examples of Dithers’ lousy judgment are legion (video faves here and here). So, on Monday, Tory offered a stirring and (uncharacteristically) unambiguous call for Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair to be reappointed. Forty-eight hours later, Blair was out. I was never a big Blair fan (examples of why here

The senior web producer at Sun News is Harrison Ruess, a charming and dashing young man. He has no faults I am aware of, apart from the fact that he never, ever puts clips up of the lovely and talented Ms. Kirbie or, most importantly, me, on the Sun News

There’s a ridiculous amount of coverage, this morning, about the totally ridiculous summit between Rob Ford and DJ Deadmau5. As a public service, we at Daisy came up with some funny lines for the other mayoralty candidates. We offer these to you, gratis. Hey Rob – we don’t need City

It seemed like the obvious response to Steve’s tweet. .
