The Beslan massacre, and the Chechen terrorists
On the day in 2004 that it happened, I was in Kennebunk, getting some stuff at Meserve’s. We all watched it on the TV they had there. One of the…
Pollster wars, with bonus B.C. election factoid

Boston and the media
I’m finding a lot of the reporting on what’s been happening in Boston pretty bad – lots errors, lots of speculation and rumours. The news media need to take a…

JT: inspiring
Here’s a real poll, from a real polling agency, unlike the detritus the Star regularly publishes. What’s it mean? It means Justin Trudeau is for real, in the words of…
Anonymous responds
Sent along by a few readers. It’s impossible to determine if it’s authentic, of course, which isn’t surprising – they’re anonymous, after all.
