Consultants are like doctors. Everyone waits to call us until it’s NEARLY too late, everyone resents having to use our services, and everyone thinks we’re overpaid. So here are ten proven ways to make our lives utterly miserable.

How To Torture Your Consultant
Oh, You Want REAL Customer Service? That’s Extra…
Air Canada continues the happy trend of charging you extra to actually do the job you expect them to do in the first place.
The Right Not To Be Offended?
Ezra Levant is a pompous ass, and I personally believe that he is a bigot given to cheap ploys for personal financial gain, but there is a point in his rhetoric that I agree with - even if he’s made it like a circus clown.
Policy Confusion? Yep.
And they wonder why we have no direction on reducing green house gases?
Hockey/Media Rant
I was just watching the City-TV 6:00 PM news. The leading story is a “shocking video” about “nine-year old kids mimicking their Junior and NHL idols” [to paraphrase]. The issue that is so important that it needs first story coverage? Well, it seems a “line brawl” broke out between two teams in a recent Atom […]
My Dog is Libertarian
Today it dawned on me. My dog is a libertarian, maybe even an anarchist.
WTF Is It Now?
Every now and again the idiot south of the border opens his yop and utters words that make normal and sensible people shake their heads in wonder, this is one of those times.
History Rewritten (Again)
The news is awash with reports of “the worst massacre in American history”, “the biggest massacre in American history”, and variants thereof - it’s not, but little things like the truth don’t generally matter at times like these do they? It’s all about the headline, the sound bite, and that ‘leg up in the industry’ that a story of this magnitude could provide.
Talk to the Hot Dog - It’s a Frisky Feeling!
Know what’s worse than having a song stuck in your head ? Having a completely insane song, embedded in an appropriately insane context, stuck in your head.
Feeling Old
“Of course I can’t write down what he really said. I guess I could fill the report with, you know, ‘expletive deleted’…”
“What does that mean?”
“You know, EXPLETIVE DELETED. Like in the Nixon tapes.”
“What?”
2006 - The Miscellany
It’s no accident that Christmas, the festival most associated with giving and selflessness, is followed immediately by New Year’s, the festival most associated with self indulgence.
Coulter’s Calculus of Hate
Ann Coulter epitomizes every trend I despise in political discourse today - the insanely over-the-top demonization of opponents, the distortions that stop just short of libel or provable falsehood, the volcanoes of self-righteous, theatrical indignation, the reduction of the complex to simple, tribal playground screaming match.
Ghosts - Miscellany for an October Afternoon.
What happens to me after I die? Why do I fear the night? What is is that funny shadow in the picture? Why did I see a woman who looked just like my mother on the street exactly a week after my mother died?
How Quickly They Forget
As I was watching the news and commentary that discussed the 60% of Iraqi people who approve of attacks on US troops in Iraq, and while reading a few of the uber [and not quite so uber]-righties who took such offense at the very thought of Iraqi people being on side with this type of behaviour, something was nagging me about the tone of the discussion, an elusive something that I couldn’t quite put my finger on, then, it hit me…….
Keeping the Hatred Alive
Folks who hate other folks - you can call them bigots, racists, ideologues, or whatever - are seldom simply honest enough to say “I loathe people of Category Xâ€.
