About this contributor

Former funnyman and 3 times Just For Laughs vetran for whom everything became less funny after GWB jr. was installed as President of the US by the U.S. Supreme Court. On air, I'm a sometimes funny, political junkie who does not believe in conspiracy theories (much) as the worst things imaginable appear to be happening before our very eyes. My goal is to be constructive and shine a light on environmental issues as well. I believe being well informed is important as well as subversive in this era. I'm crazy about my kids. Biking and jazz are amongst my other interests. Never had wanderlust as I have lived all over Canada but have decided that I do need to cycle around New Zealand, and soon. Have toured the country doing fringe festivals and will again in the near future.

On this morning's program I'm playing the interview that took place on William F. Buckley's program 'Firing Line.' Below is the embed from the Crooks and Liars sister website Newstalgia. It's remarkable, provocative and absolutely the kind of interview that would never take place in today's media environment. Enjoy and please feel free to comment and tell me what you thought of it. (For some reason the player doesn't work on firefox but it does work on IE - so if you don't like IE go to this link: http://newstalgia.crooksandliars.com/gordonskene/newstalgia-reference-ro... )

I'm back to post links for stories that I talk about on the show. Hope you enjoyed today's with the better part of the 1st hour devoted to Jack Layton, a man who will be missed and may be irreplacable so far as the NDP are concerned.
