Ok.
So I said I wasn't going to post any more on Warren Kinsella and his blog, but I changed my mind.
Two causes, one being an e-mail from a Warren Kinsella which appeared in the junkmail portion of my e-mail and got flushed inadvertently along with the numerous Viagra spams I get. That's what happens to 40 something males - all Viagra all the time. People not on my contacts list get sent to the junk box automatically. I have to go in and rescue them; while I had noted the name on the e-mail a hasty few click disappeared the e-mail.
So, Warren, if you would please resend, I will reply. It's nice to hear from people in general, let alone those I offer opinion on. I guess I am now in the ranks of Giles Gherson and Andrew Coyne, inter alia, solely by virtue of having received the Kinsella e-mail. These guys normally work on a level far above mine.
The second cause is that in checking Warren's blog this morning, he has posted the text of a correction from the Toronto Star about this dinner in Ottawa. Frankly, having neither followed his blog closely nor having the habit of regularly reading Toronto newspapers, I have no idea of the import of this little dinner group. Not everything that happens in Ottawa matters south of the Queensway and east of the river. What happens in Toronto is...well...let's just leave that alone.
Nonetheless, it seems the Star, a Liberal-oriented paper sometimes, shagged up the background on the dinner and hence the implication that maybe Warren has been conspiring with nefarious sorts.
In the "I'll-make-up-my-own-mind" department, I can say that even without reading the Star account from a few days ago, and from what I know of Warren Kinsella from a great distance, he never struck me as the sort of guy who would conspire with Tories or Conservatives just to
slice into the current Prime Minister. he's doing a fine job of making his case with help. The fact that the Conservatives are making use of his testimony is natural; not everything has to be a conspiracy. Sometimes, excrement occurs.
Anyways, I'll just go back to watching my e-mail box for Warren's missive in the interim.
As for you out there reading this, I'd suggest you flip over and check out some of the links Warren has posted for 21 April. Follow the one that leads ultimately to a New York story about Bubba Clinton and Belinda Stronach. Nice smile for a Thursday afternoon.
