There’s something about London, Ontario. It was the scene of Ann Coulter’s world-famous “Take a camel!” speech earlier this year. And in 2009, when Ezra Levant, Salim Mansur and I were scheduled to speak there, we were “banned” from one venue, found a bigger one — and sold out all 600 seats. That was after [...]

As part of the research I do each week for my talk radio recap column, I poke around Google News for the latest on Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and other conservative talk radio hosts. This week, I noticed something troubling at Google News. Thinking it might be a glitch, I cleared my cache this morning, [...]

In my own defense: a) I was drunk the whole time, and b) I was never a socialist or a communist. My anarchist/libertarian gang were 1980s “Neither East nor West” peaceniks who believed America and the USSR were equally bad. We made fun of the communists at demonstrations, quoting SCTV “3CP1″ catchphrases at them. Like [...]

Now that George Soros has admitted he can’t and won’t do anything to stop next month’s GOP electoral onslaught, his cheerleaders at MediaMatters are apparently trying to divert attention away from their boss’s impotence. They’ve posted a “guide to David Horowitz’s Discover The Networks (DTN),” but their post isn’t so much a “guide” as a [...]

Preamble to “The S.C.U.M. Manifesto” rendered in a sampler “I’ve been married to a Communist, and I’ve been married to a capitalist, and neither one of them would take out the garbage” That quip, attributed variously to Zsa Zsa Gabor, Elizabeth Ashley and any number of actresses, was the epigram to the first poem I [...]

“I’ve been married to a Communist, and I’ve been married to a capitalist, and neither one of them would take out the garbage” That quip, attributed variously to Zsa Zsa Gabor, Elizabeth Ashley and any number of actresses, was the epigram to the first poem I ever wrote. It told the true story of an [...]

Last month, I and I alone decrypted the newspaper industry’s mysterious business model. Because let’s face it: it couldn’t seriously be “publish (frequently false) information nobody cares about, and opinions nobody agrees with, packaged in an obsolete delivery system” right? Then it hit me: newspapers had adopted the South Park “Underpants Gnome” scheme. No other [...]

On Sunday night, I attended a memorable and inspiring presentation by “Mohammed dog” illustrator Lars Vilks. His Toronto stop was supposed to be just one on a four city North American tour. Sadly, the good people of Ottawa, Boston and Philadelphia missed out, after Authorities cited “security concerns” and forced each event’s cancellation. (I always [...]

This Saturday, professional progressives — mostly union types, self-described communists, “faith groups” and other full-time “activists” — bussed their minions into Washington, DC, hoping to outdo Glenn Beck’s spectacular Restore America “8/28″ event at the same location. After the fact, AP reported that crowds at the hastily organized “One Nation” rally “were less dense” than [...]
