While on a tour of an overcrowded Fallujah prison:
Sergeant Dehaan was comfortable with his mission in Iraq and the flaws of the Iraqi Police he was tasked with training and molding.
“I prefer these small and morally ambiguous wars to the big morally black-and-white wars,” he said to me later. “It would be nice if we […]
In Weird News, Canadian “I don’t date teh women” Cynic lectures (and lectures and lectures) Matthew and myself for writing mean-spirited, thoughtless posts, like this one. Instead, he’d like for us to write more thoughtful and substantive posts, like this one!
Are we done here? Oh good.

I have not seen the movie yet but I first encountered Ben Stein’s blog last Summer when he started the promotion. It smacked of too much statism. […]

So far over the past two months, I have taken some time to deconstruct the arguments put forward by those who would like to see John Tory survive the upcoming week as PC Party leader. As we enter into the final seven days, I will continue to focus in on these arguments, as well […]
The Draft A Leader People have put together a new video of John Tory’s appearance on the highly regarded TVO show, The Agenda. Please watch it and tell me what strikes you about the footage. For me, it wasn’t so much that Tory’s people aren’t agreeing any longer on how to attack opponents […]
