Came-to-lunch-too-early observations about life and whatnot
As usual, I wasn’t paying attention. Thought my lunch with an old political pal was at noon. It’s at 12:30. So, I’m seated, and I’ve got half an hour to…
The Polaris mistake
Look, Feist went to my Calgary high school, Bishop Carroll (as did Alison Redford and Danielle Smith). She’s amazing. But Polaris should be about new talent, not people who have…
In today’s Sun: why Harper (and other PMs) survive
Harper-haters – found mainly on the progressive side of the spectrum, but not exclusively — consider the prime minister to be a black-hearted social conservative, perpetually scheming to crush dissent…
“A bunch of pricks”
Five things about this: 1. Calling supportive media organizations like the Sun “a bunch of pricks” is not highly strategic. 2. These hillbillies are losing their minds in public. Seriously.…
Left coast mystery
I’m on the set and about to go on air at Sun News. So I don’t know what happened here. I do know Ken to be a very good guy,…
Oh, look
A hardcore conservative declaring that (a) progressive cooperation won’t work and (b) giving progressives advice on what they should do instead. In other news: wolf starts providing strategic counsel to…

My Ford Follies flabbergast
On the one hand, their mere existence hurts conservatives all over the place. Every day, they hammer the conservatives’ brand. They remind voters why they need to vote liberal. That…
Apple iOS6 maps
Look, I know the whole world is saying it’s awful. But I’ve downloaded it, and it’s better than the GPS system I paid for. Sorry to mess with the popular…
Quote approval
The New York Times is preoccupied with the practice from another angle. Me, I do it for all of my books – and always in situations where I think there…
You go, girl
This is divine retribution, you might say. Well deserved. I hope she kicked his ass but good.
Paul Martin’s right
Never thought you’d see that headline here, eh? But he is. Just had lunch with a very senior Conservative – friend of Mike Harris, Brian Mulroney, all of them –…
West Wing returns
The thing below is both funny, and a coincidence. A coincidence because a DNC guy was in here yesterday, and I told him (a) I once reviewed West Wing for…
The new media duality
Publish anti-Muslim material: it’s free speech. Publish anti-Kate Middleton material: it gets your newsroom raided. And some wonder why large swaths of the world mostly detest us. Wonder no more,…
CTFN: this is my daughter’s First Nation
