Many people are getting called tonight.  The caller doesn’t identify who paid for the “poll,” who is behind it, none of that. But it asks lots of questions about first and second choices, and whether the called are delegates. Among other things, that sort of “poll” violates several ethical rules

…who I have known for 30+ years, in another context. Hope he wins. Dix would be lucky to have a guy with a heart as big as Joey’s.

…she’s come out in support of an OLP leadership candidate.  Which, now that I’m back in Ontario, got me thinking about one of her other public statements…

This is so amazing. I want it.

Bjorn (formerly of Sick Dick and the Volkswagens) on skins; Rockin’ Al (formerly of the Sturgeons, on guitar); Winkie Smith (formerly of Nemesis Goosehabit and the Jesus Beatles); and Michaela (of Off-Leash Adventures) play ‘Blitzkrieg Bop’ while an audience of hundreds gather in the doorway.  Seriously, hundreds. Happy Noo Yeer,

Mine: 1. I will learn to cook. 2. I will start writing another book. 3. I will be less of a schnook. They rhyme! Anyway, what’s yours? Post ‘em in comments, and we’ll all have a good chuckle about ‘em a year from now! Until then, Happy New Year from

Winning, in politics, isn’t determined by besting one’s opponent in just one contest. It’s emerging victorious in the one that comes after that. Almost anyone can win an election once, by fluke. But it’s not so simple to win the second one. That isn’t easy at all. Pierre Trudeau, Brian

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh my Lord, this is better than Bev Oda’s $16 orange juice! The guy wears make-up all the time – and he’s charging taxpayers for what it costs! It doesn’t matter what

I have talented brothers.

Jesus. This is a bloody disgrace. A “terrorist”? Seriously? I know it’s a columnist’s job to be provocative. But that doesn’t mean you are also given a licence to be a dishonest, native-hating bigot. Which Blatchford, too often, is.

Regular commenters will know I am unenthusiastic about commenters who don’t comment using their real name, going way back. I just think that if you’ve got something critical to say, you should put your name on it. But if you’ve got something nice to say? Well, for that, there should

With most newspapers now erecting pay walls around themselves in 2013 – something that will only ensure that fewer people read them, not more – web sites like this one will become increasingly dominant. Two points: one, when everyone is charging for stuff that they until recently gave away, the

Good catch by Mr. Jago. Will his find be taken up by someone in the MSM? We shall see.

Overwritten, self-congratulatory, mendacious, pompous, solipsistic. You wouldn’t want to actually credit the one whistleblower who wasn’t a drug addict, or had been there more than three months, now, would you? No, because that would mean crediting someone who refused to talk to you.

With a baby in the blowhole, a bear, a thunderbird and two salmon at the bottom. By Doug Horne Jr. The problem wasn’t getting it. The problem is where to put it.

Morning conference calls now complete, I offer my fellow Easterners a view of Bjorn and Bab’s backyard. No snow in BC, kids!

Fireplace off, feet up waiting for lift. Unless I die in a fiery crash, see you on the Left Coast!
