  • FILTH, FOOLS AND FELLOW TRAVELLERS 30 January 2026
    It’s comforting to think that the ranks of those who worry that the idiom “The world is going to Hell in a handbasket” is true, are swelling by the day. The discomforting, and perforce ignored fact, is that an equally growing number are untroubled by the idiom  “Do not accept fools gladly.”… Read the rest […]
  • THE STAR AND THE BIT PLAYER 23 January 2026
    In amateur theater, being rejected as not good enough for a bit part is a hurtful snub. On the world stage, Donald Trump just turned that into a starring role, once again proving that  he’s in a class of his own — just  not in the way he fantasizes. After Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney […]
  • THE GOOD OLD AND THE BLAME DAYS 16 January 2026
    As much as it grieves me to say it, while “the good old days” and “blame it on the media” are simplistic cliches, in the space of two weeks, they have combined as a succinct summation of the state of  the news business. The legendary journalist hotel, the Commodore in Beirut, which just closed forever, […]
  • ORATORY VERSUS OAFISHNESS 9 January 2026
    Manners may “maketh the man”, but words distinguish leadership. A few hours before the U.S. raid into Venezuela, I watched “The Darkest Hour”, which ends with Sir Winston Churchill’s speech, that  Edward R. Murrow encapsulated as: “He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.” The speech is best known for its clarion call: “We […]
  • RESOLUTIONS TO MAKE, EVEN IF THEY BREAK 2 January 2026
    That few New Year’s resolutions are kept in full matters less than the recognition of defects that need to be addressed. Imagine how much of an improvement 2026 could be over last year if those who wield power made a few. The so-called “legacy media” could lead the way. At the bottom of a headline […]
  • A GRASP ON REALITY WOULDN’T GO AMISS 19 December 2025
    Since we’re still intact, it’s safe to presume that despite conspiracy theorists, the object from outer space that just passed Earth really is a comet and not an alien battleship. Assuming those who really can wreck the world have a firm grasp on reality, perhaps less so. Venezuela, or at least President Donald Trump’s view […]
  • A SIMPLISTIC SOLUTION FOR WARS 12 December 2025
    In 2024, 61 armed conflicts were recorded across 36 countries, 22 of which are currently classified as being in a state of war. All other efforts to “beat swords into plowshares” having failed, maybe it’s time to try the simplistic approach and just stop selling swords. Ukraine is the only conflict where national sovereignty and […]
  • OF SANTA DENIERS AND AID CUTTERS 5 December 2025
    The sad beings who put a sign reading “Santa Is Fake” in a window along a Christmas parade route, and Western nations who’ve made unprecedented cuts to aid budgets have something in common: neither see the value in what they are denigrating. The anti-Santa pettiness (in, I’m sad to say, my hometown of Brantford, Ontario) […]
  • AND THEY WONDER WHY WE THINK THEY LIE 28 November 2025
    Industrial and petro giants ignoring global warming in the name of profit, AI developers rating speed over consequences and more than a few  billionaires, have one thing in common: none of them seem acquainted with the Scriptures, or The Who  and think we aren’t either. The scriptural lesson is Matthew 7:16, “By their deeds you […]
  • REFLECTIONS ON A SUPPOSED TIPPING POINT 21 November 2025
    A  puzzling and amusing aspect of getting “old”, is that there’s  apparently an exact point when the “age is just a number” nonsense becomes a milestone at which you need stuff you didn’t know you needed before then. The day before I turned 79, the advertising on social media I browse changed from the usual […]
