Well-written. Fair points therein. (i ain’t desd yet, BTW.)

Doing edits on the new book, 30,000 words in. Dunno if it’ll sell two copies, but it may surprise a few folks. Heading home in two days. Other surprises await there, too. (Baseless speculation welcome, as always.)  

I’ve been doing this web stuff – it’s a web site, people, not a blog – for about a decade-and-a-half. At the start, I didn’t have comments – partly because the web-site-based platform I used, designed by Bjorn and Boris, simply didn’t permit me to do so – and partly

Weather great, kids aren’t killing each other, and almost at 30,000 words – after two months. Not bad. Cheers, W

enator Romeo LeBlanc looked around. It was Spring 1993, and LeBlanc was sitting in a room on Parliament Hill, surrounded by a half-dozen Liberal Party staffers. I was one of them. We called ourselves “the task force,” which we hoped sounded bland. We wanted to avoid being called what we

“A U.S. mother has created an Android app that offers parents a very modern solution to an old problem: What to do when your child won’t return your phone calls? The “Ignore No More” app gives parents the ability to remotely lock their child’s smartphone, in the event their offspring’s

…that’s the Toronto Sun’s Andy Donato. Said David Miller was Hitler, thinks battering women like Kathleen Wynne is funny. He cartooned Yours Truly this fine morn, so someone decided to cartoon Andy right back. Pretty accurate likeness, I’d say.

The newest superhero sensation – from Maine!

Sent to me this morn, and now I send it to you. Apologies for the length, but the erroneous Globe report has me wanting to ensure some of you read it. Full post here. Now, back the beach! (And, into the breach.) I begin this already doubting its relevance to

Can’t sleep, looking at old photos. Anyone care to guess who these two young people are?

The best-ever segment. Ever.

1. On holiday. 2. Still support her. 3. Site maintenance. Keeping positive, kids.

God bless America.

Man is the cruelest animal, the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said, and he might know: his works arguably served as an inspiration for later German militarism and National Socialism. But the truth of his observation about the cruelty of men – the evil that men do – remains difficult

This – as you almost certainly know by now – is American journalist James Foley, moments before he was murdered by the masked ISIS animal on the right. ISIS made a video of Foley’s murder, and circulated it on the Internet. It has been seen potentially millions of times this

What I sent to @johntoryTO. No response. In Boston with my kids to see #RedSox. Best to all back in #topoli. Tory too.
