Something to think about, on the last day of Summer. From the NYT:

Warren Kinsella: Attention Team Propellerhead: Warren’s free commentary on iOS8
I thought about inserting this web posting into the hard drive of your Mac, iPad or iPhone while you slept – without your permission, gratis! – but thought that would be a really ignorant and possibly illegal thing to do. But, in my ongoing quest to impress my annual 2.2
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Meet my little friend
Spotted him up at the lake, as I was trimming back my modest patch of grass for the last time this year. Sigh. Just me, the dog and a steak: that’s all that’s up here tonight. Oh, and the frog. Wish y’all were here.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Separation anxiety
Today’s Sun – the first one. Good to see.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Old man, take a look at me now, I’m a lot like you were, etc.
“Old men”? Look, lots of us agree on his position on reproductive freedom. We were taking that position long before Justin Trudeau was, in fact. But calling your opponents names – to wit, “old men” – is dumb. Makes him look defensive and callow. Oh, and it probably won’t help
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Best wishes to Rod Love and his family
I hate this fucking disease.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Tuesday’s Sun: to Scotland, with affection and concern
Dear Scotland: To establish my bona fides, let me say that the most beautiful place on Earth is Oban, on your Western coast. I travelled there with a girl some years ago and promptly forgot about the girl, and thereupon became fully preoccupied with moving to Scotland, hanging out
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Battleground: “At the end of the day, Rob Ford is also a human being”
…and some discussion of Brian Gallant’s “re-do” mess. Will John Tory continue to make jokes, now, about the Ford being “joined at the hip”? I wouldn’t be surprised.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Dear Rob Ford
All of us here say: get well soon. Sincerely, Us
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: When your opponent has cancer, do you attack him?
Now, I don’t know if Rob Ford has cancer. But, based on the stories that are emerging, based upon what political people are hearing, few will be surprised if the Mayor’s doctors reveal – later today – that his tumours are cancerous. So, if you are in the middle of
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Gallant-gate: still wonder why Wynne won, and why Hudak lost?
Because Wynne never did stuff like this – and Hudak did. Dunno if Brian Gallant is a goner, but he sure as Hell made his life more complicated – and with just four days to go.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: John Tory’s attacks on a hospitalized Rob Ford remind me of something
According to the Toronto Sun – and is well-known in political circles – Rob Ford is quite sick. Despite that, John Tory continues to attack Rob Ford, who isn’t even his opponent anymore. Tory says the bedridden Rob Ford is a “circus act,” and so on. I’m not backing anyone
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Tuesday’s Sun: Scotland divided, plus bonus 007 reference
Scotland, heed the wise words of the guy who bites the heads off chickens. You know, Alice Cooper. According to urban legend, the rock star once bit the head off of a chicken. Reportedly, Alice then went on to play golf with former Republican presidents. It’s true! (The golf part,

Spotted on Twitter. Anyone know who all these folks are? I can only name a few.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My take in this morning’s Hill Times
Can’t remember my password, so here’s the unedited version, filed with ‘em last week: “Political things tend to come in threes. This Parliament is likely to be no exception. Three things – three issues, three challenges – will define the coming session. One, the war that isn’t a war. Stephen
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Stiff Little Fingers: Nobody’s Hero
Saw ‘em last night with Lala, Chris, Andrew, others. They are bit older now, and they stand in front of the drum kit. But they’re still brilliant.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Now THIS is writing
I don’t agree with Strobel on politics, pretty much ever, but this column had Kirbie and I laughing our keesters off on the way back from Stiff Little Fingers last night. Just great writing, here: “Some folks are so sick of that temple to entitlement on Nathan Phillips Square, that

Some folks telling me they think it may be announced here. . But why there and not on the Hill or at 24?
