CNN has a feature hosted by former Barbra Streisand boyfriend, Wolf Blitzer, called ‘The Situation Room’. I do not often watch CNN, as I cannot take the adoption of glitz over hard-nosed reporting and real investigative journalism.  They often take shots at Fox News, but even with their sometimes very conservative flavor, Fox has some [...]

In what must be one of the easiest and most intelligent decisions in TV history, CBS, has refused an ad by a gay dating service called mancrunch.com. Earth to the gay superiority advocates: 1) The Super Bowl is a FAMILY event. Look at your ad you idiots at mancrunch! You’ve got two guys mauling each [...]

What can I add that the title already doesn’t say?! My favorite commentator in the country and a national treasure. I last spoke to Rex when he was in town to promote his latest, immaculately written tome, which I heartily recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional read (I’ve promoted this book before, but recommend [...]

In what has to be the wellspring of political delusion, Vancouver City Councillor Suzanne Anton is having a fundraising shindig tonight, at the exclusive Sutton Place Hotel in downtown Vancouver, in the ‘Pol Roger Room’ no less…to begin the process of securing for herself, the NPA’s Mayoral nomination for 2011. What?!  You can’t hear my [...]

I’m not sure what to think about the latest police crimes.  In the last ten years, it’s become clear to me that these guys and gals in blue are suffering from some indeterminable stress disorder that is causing them to drink and drive; beat defenseless, law-abiding citizens; go Taser-happy; collect evidence without rhyme or reason; [...]

So, contrary to popular lore, the post further down was not furnished to me by some net goblin.  Instead, it came from a provincial govt worker who was appalled at the disparity. After I looked into it, of course, I was too. I’ll provide you now with what I’ve learned, and then some final comments [...]

There were two significant stories that appeared this past week in the rapidly revitalizing National Post. The first outlined a fairly complex issue of temperature gathering manipulation–in as plain language as possible. It is truly confounding how SCIENTISTS are getting away with such fraud. To selectively choose warmer readings to fit unsupportable hypotheses is such [...]

There are moments, as a Canadian, that I have to feel shame….. Just how damned stupid the bureaucrats that run government really are is no longer up for casual interpretation. Or how moronic the politicians are who will not fire those bureaucrats responsible. An old age pensioner, after having paid into the system that is [...]

It was only a matter of time before some alarmist (read: ill-informed scribe) decided to marry the lack of snow in these parts with, you guessed it, global warming. So, no surprise, that it comes from the local global warming epicenter, The Vancouver Sun. Pete McMartin, who once wrote about the various places in town [...]

I know what you’re thinking… But I won’t. I will not gloat. Okay, well, maybe a little… Here’s the reality:  When I broke the news that Tony was leaving Global for CHEK, well, you know, you were here…”Tsakumis is a fool!” “Where did you get this story from?” “No way this is true” “Tony investing?
