That’s what I had waiting for me on my main office PC this morning.
You know you are in big trouble when you call Geek Squad, or whomever, and they say: “Uh-oh.”
Hopefully we can do a data recovery long enough for me to extract files. Then it’s possibly off to Mac Land a lot sooner than I expected. There’s only so much Dell/Windows crap you can endure, before the cost benefit becomes nil.
Also, anyone know if it’s still impossible to sync a Blackberry with a Mac?
And, tonight, SFH will continue to carefully, methodically prepare for its historic performance – an entertaining mélange of poetry-reading, barnyard animaux and free Ovaltine gift packs. Come one, come all!
Ann Coulter, the execrable trailer park vox, is coming to three Canadian campuses.
More about Ms. Coulter is seen here and here and here.
Be sure to tell her what you think of her, folks. She’s already told us what she thinks about us:
It sure would be interesting if an enterprising reporter put that quote, or one of the others, to Stephen Harper or one of his Reform Conservative caucus – given that her readership is interchangeable with his voter base.
Toronto’s own ska-reggae geniuses, The Arsenals, doing the tune that was inspired by this past Summer’s municipal strike – Rat A Get Fat. Brilliant.

Doug Fieger, the driving force behind the Knack, died of cancer on the weekend.
Back in Calgary in our high school daze, when their signature tune – My Sharona – topped the charts for week after week, Alan made up a version about one of the jocks in our school, Mike Siroska (sp?) that was very funny. I forget the words.
Here they are again, with a song that was, and remains, catchier than a drawer full of fish hooks:
February 15, 1932: we miss you.
Warren marvels at Kory’s ability to claim to be de-politicizing the Games, while simultaneously politicizing the Games.
…so don’t hold your breath waiting for the National Post to weigh in, intelligently, on this actual scandal.
What Paul Wells has written, here, is a superb piece of investigative journalism; it was pleasure to read it, even though what Wells documents should concern us all.
And, as an unambiguous supporter of Israel, I say this: these goons are not assisting Israel’s cause. With their thuggery, they are hurting it.
From my North Van days, I have a lot of friends from the Iranian diaspora. One of them is back over there, and writes to me this morning:

Hi Warren,
Hope you are well. Interesting development. I just got the 4th nicest death threat phone call a few hours ago and I have come to the conclusion that its time I left the Middle East. Free speech is not so welcomed in this part of the world.
Was wondering if you could hook me up with a media company, a marketing firm, a news paper or anything that could help me get back on my feet while I make a run for it back home to Toronto. Need to leave ASAP if possible.
Greatly appreciated.

I’ve told him/her to get back here, fast, and we will help.
He/she is super-smart, political, and a great writer and communicator. If you have any suggestions, please email me confidentially at wkinsella@hotmail.com.
Thanks, folks.
SFH at the Rehearsal Factory, Toronto, 9 p.m., February 11, 2010.
Come see the fruit of our labours, as it were, at Mitzi’s Sister, 1554 Queen Street West, Saturday, February 27!
