As a follow-up to my post about the list of donors who've given more than $250 to each of the four NDP leadership candidates, I'd like to point out that The Accidental Jurist has done some investigative journalism (at least someone is – thanks for nothing MSM!) into the background of each candidates' major donors […]
Serendipity can be a wonderful thing. Every morning, I meet for a brief staff meeting with my colleagues in my unit at the library. Since the office where we meet is right by the DVD collection, I usually take a moment to peruse the day's offerings. Today, I happened upon a copy of “Prairie Giant: […]
The NDP has released the names of everyone who has donated over $250 to one of the leadership candidates so far and I have to say, even as a Ryan Meili supporter, I was surprised to see that, when you look at the donations from individuals, Ryan has raised nearly as much as Lingenfelter – […]

(Unfortunately, the clip is from MuchMoreMusic who have more crap around the edge of the screen than the […]
[Edit: I'm getting a lot of hits from people searching Google for NHL playoff predictions. I don't have time to flesh out my thoughts unfortunately to make this post a bit more informative. But here's an interesting site I came across to help track your playoff predictions. You can also make a donation to help […]
Some random thoughts from my extended long weekend (thanks for dying AND coming back a couple days later, Jesus – four day weekend, baby!) – the high school student sitting at the table outside the liquor store when I stopped for some wine picked perhaps the single worst weekend to try to sell fundraising chocolate […]
I’ve been on a real kick of reading anything to do with father and son relationships since Pace was born – from sentimental stuff like Tim Russert’s “Wisdom of Our Fathers: Lessons and Letters from Daughters and Sons” (which collects a bunch of responses his bestseller about his own dad, “Big Russ and Me” received) […]
