Even the New York Times gave him a big write up on page A4 on Saturday. It must be an omen. I am waiting for the big news during this game 7's first intermission: will or won't he be back?

I watched PBS's Frontline and its hour long discussion of the faith of George W. Bush, "The Jesus Factor", this evening and was struck by one passage about the transformation of themes in the speeches of Bush after 9/11.  •  I generally follow the arguments of evangelicals and believe much the …

It's been a while since I pointed out the virtues of Brent Bambury but the  •  changes to the CBC Ottawa web site for All in a Day, his 4 to 6 drive  •  home show, as well as his recent week off that show reminded me of what an asset  •  he is to the CBC.  •  I particularly like the snazzy hoodie …

"I cannot comment on this because we have not received any reports from our units that this has happened nor that any were involved in …

Gee. Following a TV show and writing about it...  •  The Governor is an arse. Good to see in the promo for next Monday's continuation he is going. He and his family are southern US fundamentalists in the present day and presume that that is an acceptable moral norm for those who are not in the …

Watched the first two hours of the PBS series Colonial House this evening about a 17 person pretendy settlement on the coast of New England. Besides the fact that they got to be within shouting distance of Dipietro's of South Portland, they sit there eating dried peas, salt beef and oatmeal when …
