Carville gets the Shawinigan handshake
Forgot to post this one, from the dinner Monday night in Ottawa. Wanna know how to do deal with your political opponents? No “conversations” or “process”: let Chretien show the…

Dear Justin Trudeau
Want something to hit Harper with, hard, over and over, until he can’t breathe? Here it is: This revelation hits the Harper Cons at the very core of their being:…
Wither thou goest, Ontario NDP?

Leave Tim Hudak’s wife alone (updated)
Going after Deb Hutton? Seriously? That’s going way too far. It’s shameful, in fact. Spouses, and families, are always off-limits. If I was still involved, this wouldn’t be happening. I…
“We have our idiots like any community”
