I don’t want to get all holier-than-thou, but the folks who run around saying “Happy Good Friday!” – and there are some, mainly non-Christians or the historically ignorant – sound, you know, dumb. It’s not happy when an innocent cleric is wrongly convicted, tortured and murdered. That’s the opposite of

The Internet has a culture. It’s too late to change it. Worth a read (and for free, too).

Suck it, LeBron.

Here’s the recap: 1.  Yesterday morning, a producer at the John Oakley Show called me around at 8 and asked me to go on to discuss Rob Ford’s booze problems.  I said sure. 2.  At 8:30, I went on.  I tried to be fair; I said people would forgive him

You asked, we delivered. Not sure why they drop the volume level on my voice there. Your guess is as good as mine

Dear Oakley guys: When I agreed to go on your show to discuss Rob Ford’s drinking problem, yesterday morning, you didn’t tell me Doug Ford would be on too. No matter. When you brought him on, and he immediately started behaving like an idiot, I told him what a few

It’ll show up here, I think. I started by pointing out that many other politicians who battled with the bottle – George W. Bush, Brian Mulroney and (to a lesser extent) Ralph Klein – conquered their demons, and came back to be big winners.  I said voters are pretty forgiving,

I’m about to go on the Oakley show – the show that created Rob Ford, in effect – to talk about his ongoing problems. Tune in if you can!

Lilley and Kirbie duke it out.  Kirbie 1, Lilley 0.

Story here. And anyone involved in politics in Ontario can tell you this story is the tip of the proverbial ice berg. There’s a lot more. What’s it mean? It means this conservative joke will continue to elect progressives in and around the GTA indefinitely. He’s the best thing that

Turns out they sent the wrong one to jail.

In case you missed them (and the chances are excellent that you did) we can advise that the Liberal party’s leadership debates are now over. Similarly, we can advise that, to all but a small number of partisans, they didn’t matter. Political debates seldom do. The media love them, naturally,

Two things that drive me nuts about Toronto: The manic focus on transit issues, 24/7, to the total exclusion of all other issues, like poverty, health, crime, environment, etc. The fact that, despite the continual yammering about transit, nothing ever friggin’ gets done about transit.

…today’s the day to do it.

Watching Barack Obama’s first trip to Israel was revealing – but probably more for what it said about his hosts than it said about him.   The U.S. president’s two-day journey to the Holy Land looked forced.  Obama was finally spending a couple days with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,

Daughter has now been accepted to King’s College, Trent, Brock and Lakehead. With potentially more to come. Mixed in with the paternal pride, of course, is the realization that your kid is way smarter than you.
