…as here, is like comparing the Beatles to Milli Vanilli. Like comparing Kobe beef to ground chuck. Like comparing Stephen Hawking to Johnny English. Like comparing a Harley to a Moped. Like comparing Olympic wrestling to pro wrestling. Like comparing a Ferrari to a Ford. You get the point.

Warren Kinsella: Fight The Right one of the best books of the year!
…so says The Hill Times. Thanks, Hill Times!

As they grimly devote themselves to the task of reviewing 2012 — filled, as it was, with declining poll numbers, widespread public disinterest and no achievements whatsoever — Canada’s members of Parliament are today filled with undisguised envy for one figure. One who will be long remembered by history. One
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Pupatello has the most support in OLP race
…the most experienced support, too. Both count. Ms. Pupatello stands head and shoulders above the rest. She has the support of 17 caucus members, including Finance Minister Dwight Duncan and other cabinet ministers such as Bob Chiarelli, Brad Duguid, Mike Colle, and Michael Gravelle. Ms. Pupatello also has the support
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Second OLP leader debate: sounds like…
Harinder sounded charming, Sousa sounded smart, Hoskins sounded comfortable. Pupatello sounded like a Premier.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Sunday’s Sun: Trudeau’s triangulation
A failure. It isn’t something that anyone – particularly political partisans – ever like to admit to. But that’s what the gun registry was, ultimately: a failure. And I say that as a Liberal, and a Liberal who owns firearms, too. Justin Trudeau, who unnerves Harper Conservatives and Mulcair New

Still miss him.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Baseless Rob Ford speculation thread
Hmmm. Given how completely wrong the Globe was on Pupatello’s liquor sales statement – ie., they claimed the exact opposite of what she said, in both headline and story, and have yet to publish a correction, despite having been sent a full transcript – I am actually feeling a bit
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Rob Ford, party animal
From the Twitter account of a Toronto lawyer, George Gray. Apparently taken at the Bloke and Fourth. Wow.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Wrong
This story is flat-out, categorically false. Pupatello said no such thing. I hereby declare an open thread on stuff reporters get totally wrong. This Globe story is my submission.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Pupatello campaign HQ just now
Sandra at her Toronto campaign H.Q. I’d be there, too, but I have to go speak to Beaches East York Libs at the St. Louis Bar and Grill!
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Mike Gravelle endorses Pupatello!
“I’ve made it very clear that I would be supporting the person who would best represent the interests of the North, and I think Sandra is that person.”
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: BEY Grits: Fight The Right tonight!
I’m going to be reading from and/or talking about Fight the Right at a meet the candidates thing in my home riding of Beaches-East York tonight at about 8 pm. We’ll be gathering at the St. Louis Bar and Grill (1963 Queen Street East) for grub, grog and a gab

…we should never give up on eliminating violence against women: Geneviève Bergeron (born 1968), civil engineering student Hélène Colgan (born 1966), mechanical engineering student Nathalie Croteau (born 1966), mechanical engineering student Barbara Daigneault (born 1967), mechanical engineering student Anne-Marie Edward (born 1968), chemical engineering student Maud Haviernick (born 1960), materials

The last four postings, I note, are about the news media, and how they sometimes bewilder me. I’m sure I bewilder folks, too, but I don’t charge anyone for “news” or “opinion.” Anyway. They’re not having a good morning, the MSM. I’m sure they’ll feel better tomorrow.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Rob Ford: not news
My friends Clay Ruby and Paul Magder have already agreed to the stay. So why is today’s hearing in any way news? (Swear to God, some days, I think I am totally missing things. Is there a reason why dozens of reporters and camerafolks are crammed in a courtroom this
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Why is this news?
Why was it written? Why is it being headlined, anywhere? Why are Opposition MPs compelled to comment? Why should anyone care, when this guy hasn’t been near cabinet for years? Ottawa is crazy. That isn’t news, either.

…you don’t know a damned thing about punk, or punk rock.

Film at eleven. And people wonder why journalists aren’t successful as politicians. Wonder no more, etc.
