Everyday I love you less and less

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.”


Cunning Sun huns

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.


W@AL: Highly-scientific experiment at Ontario Liberal AGM

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.


Hudak hubris

I’m at the Ontario Liberal Convention to give a few presentations today. There are lots of Ontario Libs here.

Before I got started, I wanted to give you a gander at the kind of stuff the Hudak staffers are sending around to our guys, using taxpayer-subsidized hardware. Pretty cocky bunch, eh?

I’d watch that, if I were them.
