I don’t think I have ever met the man.  But I so wish my Dad, who lived in – and loved – Calgary for thirty years, had lived to see this day. It is wonderful.

…and he uses his own name, too.

I can’t believe I just wrote that.  Anyway, here’s what he wrote.

Monte reacts as I remind him that Liberals are going to kick his party’s ass.

Linkage here, at about 1:43 mark or so.

Quebec doesn’t like him. It matters.

Best video I’ve seen in 2010, hands down.  Best sample lyric of the Century, too: “Oh, and my parents love me.  And my girlfriend loves me.  They keep photos of me.  Na na na na.”

After word got out, yesterday, that I had become a freelance Sun columnist and prospective Sun TV pundit, there was much gnashing of garments and rending of teeth on both sides of the spectrum.  The right-wingers, committed free-speechers all, were enraged that a dissenting voice was being permitted a platform in a conservative paper.  And the lefties were apoplectic that I (or anyone) would pay the Sun chain any heed.

Sigh.

I thought this editorial, in the Calgary Sun, should therefore be read by both sides. In it, my hometown Sun heartily endorses the lefty mayoralty candidate over the two right-wing ones.  Perhaps it’s time to re-examine your biases, Righties and Lefties.

To wit: when media gets predictable, and represents only one side of the argument (cf. National Post), they don’t grow.  And then they start to lose their audience.

Me, irritated: Why did they have to eliminate a lane on Dundas for a bike lane that no ever one uses???!!

Ten-year-old son: Oh, look, Dad’s turning into Rob Ford.

Everyone here looks like they write code for a hobby.

Yesterday, at the Ontario Liberals jam-packed AGM, I led three top-secret Scooby Doo sessions about oppo, quick response, war rooms and all that kind of stuff. It was a lot of fun. When I told them I was going to be writing for the Sun chain, a number of them immediately ran out of the room to cancel their subscriptions.

Anyhow, here’s the result when I did some name-association tests. These were all conducted in a highly-scientific manner, and are considered accurate, twenty times out of twenty.

I took a wrong turn, went up a darkened flight of stairs, and – whammo – these guys got me.

Just a hunch, but I suspect some heads are exploding in Ottawa, this morning.  Hope so, anyway.
