It has been a long, long time since I've posted. And I can now tell you why. After getting my feet when with Live Journal, I've decided to roll out a new blog via Blogspot.

That blog has been active for several weeks now, and is known as "Angry in the Great White NorthI've transfered most of my old posts over. All sorts of new material has been ( Read more... )

Though I have not written about North Korea, I have long followed the news concerning the sad Stalinist state. Well, via Instapundit, a new story in the news.telegraph:

The first known visual evidence of dissent within the world's most secretive state emerged yesterday when video footage taken in a North Korean factory showed a portrait of the ( Read more... )

From the Globe and Mail today,

A little while back, I wrote about how silly the concept of the "celebrity news anchor" was, with their multi-million salaries just to read the news. Well, journalist Roger Simon has written a nice article that dovetails nicely with mine ( Read more... )

One day I will try to read the report released today about memogate, but for now I'll be content with reading summaries being posted by bloggers. One thing I find interesting - the report says that it was "zeal" to get the story out first that led to this story being broadcast. I find that disappointing. It is as if the authors of the report are ( Read more... )

Our Christmas was a washout. My daughter Clare took ill on Christmas Eve, and with few options on the holiday, we took her to the local emergency room.
