I underestimated Kinsella’s impact. Today, the CJC has put out an urgent news release: somewhere in Toronto, a school desk was found to have some anti-Semitic graffiti scribbled on it.

Back when I was a baby blogger and the world was young I had three places I went: Andrew Sullivan, Glenn Reynolds, LGF and Steve DenBeste.
I still go to Andrew’s, LGF and Glenn’s - more the latter than the former - and I hit various Canadian blogs as well. But, truth to tell, my blog […]

Maureen Dowd

How Blog Wars Should End

February 28, 2008 | 2 Comments

Over the past few days I have written extremely critical comments about a Parliamentary staffer named Valentin Erikson. I now realize that my posts were based on factual inaccuracies, and my comments weren’t fair. I have therefore taken down my blog posts on the subject.
Besides retracting my statements, I would like to offer my sincere […]

Mike Brock took a look and, big surprise, the entry looks faked.
Here’s a hint Jason, 19:32, on a 24 hour clock, is PM not AM.
Jason is demonstrating (over and […]
