99 vs. 1
I cannot tell you how happy I was to read the following on the front page of this morning’s Globe and Mail: President Barack Obama wants to shift the focus…

The Muse of Deepest Annex: Tabatha Southey, who thought the Manson murders were a hoot, too
Ms. Southey objects to my column, below. She thinks I’m a “dick,” etc. for having effrontery to criticize her friend. Yawn. She also thinks her tweet below, about Luka Magnotta’s…
In today’s Sun: i hope this makes Wicary’s tiny head explode
So, there’s this fellow who works at Sun News. We often share the same page in the paper for our columns. He is quite famous, and I decidedly am not.…
Kill me now, Jesus, I can’t go on
Just at West 49. Buying gear for the kids. Guy at cash sees my Replacements tee. “Hey, man, that was a great movie,” says he. “What?” I say, horrified and…
You had an option, Mr. Harper
Mulroney: You had an option, sir. You could have said, ‘I am not going to do it. This is wrong for Canada, and I am not going to ask Canadians…
Irie from Jamaica, mon
If the plane back to TeeDot goes down in a fiery ball of flame this afternoon, here’s a pic you can put up on your fridge door. You’re welcome.

…at Sled Island. Here.
Comrade Kinsellaski’s Son One
Everything that the National Post and Sun News have been saying for years is true: the Kinsellas are Kommunists. Proof, here, in the form of a cropped photo of Son…
Jason Kenney: Elie Wiesel is wrong, as usual
I wasn’t on Sun News, this week, because I was in Jamaica, where it is less hot than Toronto. While here, I heard from a friend at Sun News, who…
In Sunday’s Sun, early: a picture really is worth a 1,000 words
Words are about information. Pictures are about emotion. Emotion equals power. Print folks — the ones who pour their souls into writing newspapers and magazines, the ones who craft profound…
Ridiculous, boring, stupid: Summertime reading
Perhaps it’s because I’m in Jamaica and don’t give a rat’s ass, or perhaps it’s because I’m becoming even more of a curmudgeon than before: either way – and from…
SFH has fans around the world
This young man was snapped at USMC Camp Pendleton, celebrating July 4 near San Diego with 15,000 Marines, all SFH fans! In an unrelated matter, SFH looks forward to the…
What I’m looking at
Any guesses where I am?
Point, missed
The point – in this column, and the poll it examines – is entirely missed. Voters have always been progressive. It’s only journalists who thought they were becoming conservative. The…
Good riddance
Now, Libs, we got any hope of winning that riding? Held it long ago, as I recall.
Leave Tom Cruise alone!
I liked this because: 1. Lynn Crosbie isn’t running with the snarling, snapping media pack, which is what the best columnists should do. 2. She correctly notes that a lot…
This happened right at the end of my street
Worth keeping in mind when Messrs. Harper, Hudak and Ford say gun control doesn’t work. Wonder how they’ll react when a shooting happens steps from their front door? I sure…
In Tuesday’s Sun, weirdly early: killing Canada, not so softly
The shortwave service started in 1942. Prime Minister Mackenzie King said it would help to keep our soldiers connected with what was going on back home. For our armed forces…
In tomorrow’s Sun, today: the politics of disaster
