Got a Google alert on Fight The Right.reviewed in Calgary Herald. Good review. Even got a blurb out of it. And then…gone. They took it down, and it hasn’t been up since. Weird. Maybe they changed their minds, and don’t like it anymore!

Right here. Jeremy’s done a very well-written, comprehensive piece. This guy actually read the book. And it’s the fairest shakes I’ve ever gotten in the North Shore News! Thank God for the new management!

I shall wear my trousers rolled. Dare I eat a peach, etc. There’s all kinds of fun political stuff happening, and it’s exciting and positive and great. But you know what preoccupies me, today, at this moment? Daughter is in Halifax, seriously considering Dal for next year. Assorted sons, meanwhile,

I’ve been hearing about this all day, and now I’ve finally read it. You will remember it for a long time. I hope Ann Coulter does.

This isn’t what Nanos found, as I recall. But, wow.

Here. My only comment is I have no comment about what everyone is commenting about.

…that I never thought I’d live to see grown men saying the things they’re saying about rape.   Some days, there’s so much evil in this world, you just don’t know what to say.  This is one of those times.

Interesting: Now with the polish of a short sojourn in the corporate world and several years of government experience under her belt, the 50-year-old former Windsor Woman of the Year, is expected to leave her Bay Street job to run for leader of the beleaguered Ontario Liberals. Former Tory cabinet

Why, yes.  Yes they are.  Glad you asked. From the ever-quick Justin Tetrault: During the Mike Harris/Ernie Eves years, the Ontario PCs prorogued the Legislature five times: Dec. 18, 1997 to April 23, 1998 – 126 days; Dec. 18, 1998 to April 22, 1999 – 125 days; March 2, 2001

  Finance Minister Dwight Duncan will not run to succeed Premier Dalton McGuinty as Ontario Liberal leader, the Star has learned. Duncan will announce his decision Wednesday, paving the way for former minister Sandra Pupatello, his close friend and fellow Windsor native, to return to politics and contest the Grit
