I am going to out myself, I admit that in my younger years I played Dungeons and Dragons quite a bit. There I said it, mock me if you must but that is the truth. In a fantasy world whenever you are out of money the characters go on a quest which brings them fame [...]
I have been a Rams fan for about 30 years now. My long obsession started after watching the old Warren Beatty film Heaven Can Wait. I was hooked on the Los Angles Rams. It was something that continued through ups and downs and moves. Through three Super Bowls and last place finishes.
However, I have never [...]
Talk to the players who were in Brooklyn’s Dodgers moved to Los Angeles they do not talk about it as a great day. None of their all star greats wanted to go down as anything else as a Brooklyn Dodger if they spent most of the best part of their career their.

Sometimes when you cross the floor you are called principled, brave, honourable, sometimes you are called a whore, traitor, a cheat. Since 2005 I have had to come to grips with the parliamentary tradition of crossing the floor. It is an old tradition in our system. One that is both honoured and vilified depending on [...]
As the news of the day was announced on my radio at 6:30 this morning I have to admit to being shocked and pleasantly surprised to learn about the crossing of Rob Anderson and Heather Forsythe to the Wildrose Alliance. I was almost in shock with surprise.
However the Alliance still needs one more MLA to [...]
I have only ever been in a room with Premier Ed Stelmach on a few occasions. All of them were leadership related, he was running, winning or holding on to it. On the other hand I was introduced to Premier Ralph Klein once, talked briefly with him at a function and was with him on an [...]
