I was working at my eldest daughter’s school Saturday morning at a community fair (manning the BBQ, what else??) when Michael Geller and I ran into each other (since his daughter attended the same school years earlier and Geller is nothing else if not loyal, so he came by to visit).  ”I just sent you [...]

‘From the Big Chair’ was one of my most popular segments when I was writing for 24hrs. newspaper.  It was always a potpourri of the latest news, with some other stories thrown in for good measure.  So here is this blogs, first offering, ‘From the Big Chair’… 1) Unhappy Hookers The brouhaha in Toronto about [...]

My apologies for not posting yesterday.  It’s usually Sunday that I take off, and not Saturday.  But I was committed to a family obligation for our eldest daughter and didn’t get a chance to return early enough to the Batcave for a Saturday post.  Thank you for the over forty emails wondering where I had [...]

Here is a clip of some protestors showing that the pushback to global warming ALARMISM, is not funded, at the grassroots level, by BigOil. You know what it’s funded by?  The truth.  Tom the Toolbelt, Wendy the Waitress and Pete the Plumber are tired of being lied to with scare tactics and manipulated data.  They [...]

In a not so surprising decision, at least not for me, The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that Special Prosecutor Bill Berardino’s appeal to have a secret witness testify without the defense present, is allowed and the cross-appeal, by the defense, be dismissed.  In a 7-0 decision, the Justices made their positions abundantly clear.

I have never identified as much with being a Greek Orthodox Christian, which is how I was raised, as I do with being, simply, Christian.  Simply?  Somehow it’s hard to describe Christianity or my observance as “simple”.  The more rigid of my church’s “rules” I always found unrealistic, if not hypocritical.  I guess I just [...]

Last week, I injected some truth to the ridiculous and embarrassing arguments being made against the long gun registry review, by PR consultant and sometimes writer Bill Tieleman. After I posted my corrections to his absurd recycling of NDP speaking notes, it went viral:  Throughout the internet, others joined in and schooled Tieleman appropriately. Well, [...]

Let me share a little story with you… Last week, a CKNW hierarch had a little chat with Shell Busey.  According to a well-placed source at CKNW, Shell, an institution in local radio and media and all-round great guy, was told that the local portion of his program (Vancouver) was being deep-sixed immediately.  No warning, [...]

Here is a wonderful piece for you to read, by Charles Krauthammer.  He quite expertly dissects that motivations of Ft. Hood’s madman in committing such a massacre.  It’s what happens when political correctness takes over the American military and people are afraid to speak up, because the President demands that Muslims mustn’t be profiled.  Fine, [...]
