Jacob Blum, along with his well-documented struggles with drugs and homophobia, is a Conservative, and – just a few months ago – a former Ontario PC campaign manager. He was also one of the Conservatives who helped create and manage Ornge, and who was paid handsomely for it along the

This could have been summarized in a tweet. Then we saw who wrote it, and understood.

…and out of it emerges a portrait of a greatly self-indulgent, spoiled, dislikable little twerp.

Can’t wait to hear tomorrow from the anti-gay Ontario PC campaign manager with, er, a pharmaceutical interest! Also coming up in coming days: this session by Messrs. Giorno and Martin, both at Fasken’s, both advisors to Ornge and both card-carrying Conservatives! Wow! There sure were a lot of card-carrying Conservatives

VIS are always hard to read, but this one more than most.

Brad Lavigne looked stumped, for a moment or two. Lavigne — the brilliant Jack Layton loyalist who helped pilot the New Democratic Party to its historic gains in the election of one year ago — seemed uncertain, however briefly, about what his answer should be. In an exchange with Tim

Sent by reader Scott, spotted in NYT on Sunday. He and I found this weird. You?

The Alberta result should remind us all that is foolhardy to read too much into polls, and particularly one poll. But this depressing result is consistent with a batch of other recent surveys – that the contest is now between the Conservatives and the New Democrats, federally. And that the

Chretien legend Randy McCauley, Clinton legend Paul Begala, and legendary failure Whatsisname.

Here it is – the official cover to the new book, out in September! Plan to share it with some DNC and former Chretien folks at a dinner tonight, here in Ottawa. The U.S. cover, I’m told, will be different. Link to pre-order is under the image, or on the

Ever voted for more than one political party? Never purchased a party membership card? Ever refused to vote, after having come to the conclusion that “none of the above” is the best choice? Have “conservative” views on some issues, and decidedly “progressive” views on others? If you answered yes to

Some of us suggested the Harper Reformatories would come to profoundly regret messing with Canadian seniors. Dance with those that brung ya, etc. Looks to be happening. I’ve never been a fan of CARP – they became rent-a-grassroots-lobby, a few years back – but this seems consistent with gen pop

…they’re playing the Phoenix in August. Want to see them, a lot. But you know what, Ticketmaster? I WON’T PAY MORE THAN SIXTY BUCKS A TICKET AND IT IS A DISGRACE THAT YOU GUYS ARE CHARGING THAT MUCH. There. That feels better. Put it on a loop, add tons of

I am a war room guy, and I look at the world through a war roomer’s eyes. That’s why, for instance, I favour total warfare against political enemies (i.e.. always making sure the response is lightning-quick, using every means at your disposal, and twice as painful as the initial strike).

The crowd, and the venue – and now the band – are as far from punk rock as you can possibly get. Daughter is happy, however. Sigh.

Shot at a gig in Texas a few weeks ago. Lyrics below. And absolutely amazing. Maybe I was wrong about AM not going on. Maybe they will. Her words, or what they seem to be: Your tells (?) are so obvious. Shoulders too broad for a girl. Keeps you
