Been 20 years since I lived in #Ottawa. All I miss:
— Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) March 14, 2016
“Warren Kinsella's book, ‘Fight the Right: A Manual for Surviving the Coming Conservative Apocalypse,’ is of vital importance for American conservatives and other right-leaning individuals to read, learn and understand.” - The Washington Times “One of the best books of the year.” - The Hill Times “Justin Trudeau’s speech followed Mr. Kinsella’s playbook on beating conservatives chapter and verse...[He followed] the central theme of the Kinsella narrative: “Take back values. That’s what progressives need to do.” - National Post “[Kinsella] is a master when it comes to spinning and political planning...” - George Stroumboulopoulos, CBC TV “Kinsella pulls no punches in Fight The Right...Fight the Right accomplishes what it sets out to do – provide readers with a glimpse into the kinds of strategies that have made Conservatives successful and lay out a credible roadmap for progressive forces to regain power.” - Elizabeth Thompson, iPolitics “[Kinsella] deserves credit for writing this book, period... he is absolutely on the money...[Fight The Right] is well worth picking up.” - Huffington Post “Run, don't walk, to get this amazing book.” - Mike Duncan, Classical 96 radio “Fight the Right is very interesting and - for conservatives - very provocative.” - Former Ontario Conservative leader John Tory “His new book is great! All of his books are great!” - Tommy Schnurmacher, CJAD “I absolutely recommend this book.” - Paul Wells, Maclean’s “Kinsella puts the Left on the right track with new book!” - Calgary Herald
Shot on the fly, so I forgot I was in that irritating “portrait” mode. Sorry. Anyone know how to get in “landscape” mode? (See? I’m up on all the new tech lingo.) Raptors, address all inquiries about signing to me, his agent.
SFH detest him too. So sing along. It might make you feel better. It did us.
Is Donald Trump deliberately provoking violence to help his campaign? Probably. Are we falling into his trap? Maybe. Here’s what Maddow says: So, if she’s right, Chicago helps him. It doesn’t help those who oppose him. But here’s the thing: what happened in Dayton – when a guy came very, very close to getting him – doesn’t. I mean, Mr. Trump, what good is your provoke-violence strategy if you end up…well, you know. I don’t wish that on you, but I won’t be surprised if it happens now, either. After all, etc. Like I always say: when you set a mean dog loose, he may bite someone else. But, eventually, he’ll bite you, too.
P.S. If Rick and Co. can escape notice of a zombie horde wearing zombie guts, why don’t they wear zombie guts all the time? Sorry, but that one has been keeping me up for several weeks.
As most of you know, some of us have been speaking out against the decision of Canada Post to take money to distribute the racist, homophobic, Holocaust-denying Hitlerite rag, Your Ward News. I’ve written extensively about their content – here and here and here – and my brother Richard Warman is now going after them legally. Me too. Yesterday, Judy Foote – the minister responsible for Canada Post, and the minister who hasn’t stopped Holocaust denial from landing in tens of thousands of Toronto-area mailboxes – appeared before a Parliamentary committee. She was asked about Your Ward News by former cabinet minister Steven Blaney. Here’s Liz Thompson’s account in iPolitics: Foote said she shared Blaney’s concerns. She gave that answer yesterday afternoon. I find that timing interesting. Here’s why: at 9:26 a.m. yesterday, six hours before Foote appeared before the committee – and long enough for Canada Post to have briefed her, because Canada Post was on the agenda at committee – Canada Post’s “Vice-President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary” issued a letter in which he stated that Canada Post had rendered all of the “legal opinions” on Your Ward News they were going to render. And they had decided, yet again, to do nothing. So, I’m curious: did Canada Post deliberately withhold that information from their own minister? Or did Foote tell the committee something that was, put charitably, factually incorrect? Confused? Me too:
So who is telling the truth? A legal review is happening, or no one is reviewing anything, legally or otherwise? Which is it? This case gets curiouser and curiouser. I can tell you one thing: Richard and me – and many others – are not going to let this go. We don’t give a damn who the government is.
However much I would like to see the 22nd Amendment suspended, my guy Barack – who I have championed since 2006, unlike those dozens of young selfie-snapping PMO types who flew to D.C. yesterday! – is going to be gone soon. By this time next year, he will be giving speeches to Shriners for several gazillion dollars. Lame duck wasn’t on the menu, last night, but it may as well have been. What matters is the next State Dinner (why do they always Capitalize That?). Who will it be with? Who will be there? And, more importantly, what will be on the menu? Vote now, vote often!
