Loyal to the Core, Q & A

This week's issue of the Hill Times features an interview with me talking about my book Loyal to the Core.

The actual article is behind a subscription wall, but I've managed to reproduce it on my website.

Conservatives looking for a home

A group I recently joined, The Homeless Cons , is making a little bit of news.

I am scheduled to be a guest on Newsline with Joe Easingwood (CFAX Victoria) at 2:00 PM EST to talk about my book, Loyal to the Core.

More Post Harper Speculation

A couple of days ago I wrote a column in the National Post suggesting a schism might develop in the Conservative Party when Prime Minister Harper steps down as Tory leader.

Well today, Sun media columnist Greg Weston considers this idea and also suggests another scenario: he says the man to replace Harper might just be none other than Quebec Premier Jean Charest.

Wonder if that would split the party?

Amazing Sheep

Ewe you might find this interesting.

Keep the lights on

On Saturday we are supposed to turn our lights off for an hour -- It's called Earth Hour.

Last year I put in my two cents about this dopey idea.

So this year, I have decided to offer a couple of other opinions.

First, check out Joseph Ben Ami's piece; he explains why Earth Hour is not such a bright idea.

Next read this op ed from the Ayn Rand Center, which argues the "call for people to renounce energy and to rejoice at darkened skyscrapers makes its real meaning unmistakably clear: Earth Hour symbolizes the renunciation of industrial civilization".

Good Review for Loyal to the Core

Check out Kathy Shaidle's review of my book Loyal to the Core.

Is it a good review? Well I am posting it aren't I?

Post-Harper Tories

Check out a column I wrote which appears in today's National Post.

I look at the burning question of what happens to the Conservative Party after Prime Minister Stephen Harper decides to pack it in.

George Kell RIP

Sorry to hear George Kell died a few days ago.

Kell was a Hall of Fame third baseman for the Detroit Tigers in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

He won the American League batting championship in 1949, beating out a guy named Ted Williams.

But I remember Kell not as a player, but as the voice of Tiger TV broadcasts back in the 70's and 80s.

Something about Kell made watching Tiger games a little more fun; naybe it was it laid back attitude, or his Arkansas accent or his intimiate knowledge of the game.

Just wish there were more broadcasters like him today.

Free Thinking Movies

Tired of all those left-wing films and documentaries Hollywood churns out?

Well good news.

A group call The Free Thinking Film Society specializes in presenting films which put forward alternative conservative/libertarian messages.

And on April 13th, the Society will present a double feature: – The Monster Among Us & The Case for Israel.

Media Alert

I will be a guest on the World Tonight with Rob Breakenridge tonight at 9:35 PM EST to talk about, yup you guessed it -- my book Loyal to the Core.

That's the same book, by the way, which Seamus O'Regan of Canada AM called a "fascinating read."

Homeless Cons

Are you a principled conservative who feels orphaned?

Are you looking for a political home?

Well if you answered yes to those question, you should definitely consider joining a new social networking site devoted to those of us who don't feel at home in the so-called Conservative Party.

It's called Homeless Cons.

Think of it as an ideological shelter.
