The Conservative Party is still in power in this country and Stephen Harper is still our Prime Minister. That makes Harper the victor, but in a greater sense he has failed. Here's why Stephen Harper lost. Toronto is Still Without a Conservative MPRemember my $50 bet back in 2007? I
I voted last weekend, but my wife didn't vote until this morning. I've just learnt that we're a house divided. In a too-tight-to-call fiercely competitive battle between the incumbent NDP MP Peggy Nash and the popular Liberal challenger Gerard Kennedy, we're on different sides of the fence. The results will
PR guys send me all the Bill Barilko-related news. Here's something I just received. I was just browsing your blog and saw that you're a fan of Bill Barilko and wanted to let you know about a special charity auction we are holding that features the authentic 1951 Player of
Ringo Starr is giving fans until October 20 to send him fan mail, but after that you're S.O.L. Here's the word from Ringo himself. If Ringo had done this earlier, he would have missed out on that sweet painting of him by Marge Simpson. In Brush with Greatness
Why don't you vote? That's right, I'm talking to you. Today is our federal election and you've got until 9:30 tonight to cast your ballot, yet many of you won't bother to exercise this right. I'm sincerely curious. I love voting. People have literally died to protect our democracy.
I'm not a big Ryan Hollweg fan. I'm okay with Matt Stajan being relegated to the press box, I'm just not a fan of Hollweg's undisciplined, dirty style that helped fuel the Blues' comeback this afternoon. The Leafs blew an early 3-0 lead, eventually losing 5-4 in a shootout. Still,
It's Monday, yet I'm still lounging in my Homer Simpson pyjama bottoms. It must be Thanksgiving. I've got familial Thanksgiving responsibilities later today, but now it's time for flashbacks of Thanksgivings past. Gobble, gobble.

My super competitive slo-pitch team, Raging Storm, seems to be coupling off. A couple of months ago I witnessed my left fielder and 2nd basemen tie the knot, and yesterday I saw my center fielder and rover/3rd baseman get married. Ok, technically I missed the actual vows, but I
I attended a lovely wedding in Jordan, Ontario yesterday. I had never heard of Jordan, so on Friday afternoon I hit Google after learning I was supposed to be at Cave Springs Vineyard for the wedding at 4pm. I Googled the vineyard and found the "how to find us" page
Ladies and gentlemen, last night we were exposed. We were exposed as the young, inexperienced, undisciplined team we are. The victory over Detroit, as we suspected, was an aberration. The egg we laid last night, as difficult as it was to watch, is more likely to become the norm this
Alton Ellis was 70. He was known as the "Godfather of Rocksteady," having a string of hits in a career spanning more than 50 years, including "I'm Still In Love", "Dance Crasher" and "I'm Just A Guy."
Into the Wild: 8 out of 10. I know people who watch movies so they don't have to think. They seek mindless action movies or comedies that leave their minds minutes after the closing credits roll. That's a pretty good description of the kinds of movies I despise. I like
I've always liked Kid Rock. In fact, I once took my mom to a Kid Rock concert. No other artist pulls off a hip hop track next to southern rock, right by a country-esque ballad. Kid Rock has this ability to genre-jump like no other artist. Take "All Summer Long"
I mentioned I snapped some pictures when I was witnessing the organized chaos at EZ Rock this morning. You can check out the entire photoset at my Flickr account.

Even though this team has been built to lose, I root for the blue and white. It's in my blood. When Nikolai Kulemin (nickname needed!) scored in the third, I cheered loudly. I wanted the W. It's fun watching this team, because it's not the same old McCabe / Tucker / Sundin
I've made my way to Yonge and St. Clair. I'm sitting beside Humble, watching the action. I actually couldn't tap into this highly encrypted EZ Rock WiFi, but Humble has given me access to his PC. What a sweetie... 5:54 - They just played Johnny Nash. Apparently that happens
Back in 1984, the movie 2010 was released. It was a sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey and it was marketed with the tag line "The Year We Make Contact". I remember watching a Leafs game in 1984 when the camera closed in on a sign a fan had brought
Tomorrow I'll wake up three hours earlier than usual and make my way to Yonge and St. Clair to sit in with the EZ Morning Show crew. I'll get there around 5:30, assume a seat beside Humble Howard, fire up the laptop, get online and live blog the show.
I just learnt John McCain's campaign has been using "My Hero" from the Foo Fighters. I wrote about "My Hero" here. When the Foo Fighters learnt John McCain was using "My Hero", they issued a statement. The saddest thing about this is that "My Hero" was written as a celebration
It's hump day, as in "over the hump, as in we're now closer to Friday than Monday. Hump Day isn't as good as Thursday, but it's way better than Tuesday. Here are songs in my collection with "hump" in the title. Hump De Bump - Red Hot Chili PeppersHobo Humpin'

A couple of years ago, I started sharing great videos from the glory days of MuchMusic. I started the series off with "Take On Me" by A-Ha, the definitive 'great video' from the 1980s. I just watched a hilarious literal version of the "Take On Me" video. If you remember
I'm busier than a one-toothed man in a corn-on-the-cob eating contest. Too busy to produce some wonderful fresh original content for you, here's something I wrote four years ago today. I've been pretty busy this week, so I only got around to reading this week's Starweek television guide this afternoon.
