KCCCC Day 30: when the water dries up, all the animals start looking at each other funny
It’s September. It’s day 30 (by my count, anyway). And that means all of the parties are going to get really edgy, starting today. As the departed Rod Love once…
In which I have a journalist’s reaction to #elxn42
Sorry, but all the chirpy, sunny facile partisan tweet horseshit made me throw up, a bit. But I'm okay now. #elxn42 #cdnpoli — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) August 31, 2015
Last, lost Beatles track
This is kind of cool, if true. A Lennon demo track from 1978 that McCartney had hoped to turn into a Beatles track in 1995. Haunting, to say the least.
KCCCC Day 29: last day of August, but where’s the winning narrative?

KCCCC Day 25: don’t believe the hype
As PE say, don’t believe the hype. In this case, that ridiculous Forum poll, which the Star has published and which you can find here. Repeat after me: IT’S FORUM.…
Long (but interesting) National Observer piece on Trudeau, with one “wow”

KCCCC day 24: the strategists strategize

Hot Nasties play ‘Teenage Lament’
Written by Pierre and me when we were 17 or so; reprised here, 35 years later. We had a very positive view of the future, as you can see. When…

Today
No KCCCC today. Getting, you know, married. That’s me and my gal before the Red Sox game this week. She makes me pretty happy. She is smart and sensitive and…
The Hot Nasties reunite after 35 years!
They play I Am A Confused Teenager! They’re not teenagers anymore! The Palma Violets sort of like this song! Four people were there to witness history!
