Done. Your turn.
Jack Layton, leader of the NDP and one of the few bright stars of politics not just in Canada but anywhere, died today of cancer. His energy will be missed. He can never be replaced, but I hope his example inspires many others to follow.
Happy trails, sir, and thank you.
Ten years ago, about five blocks from where I live now, two planes smashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center and changed the way America feels about terrorism. For the first time, it was happening right here. Not in far off Paris or Tel Aviv, but in our front yard. Three thousand people just like us lost their lives.
The credit was taken by Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda, militant Islamist extremists bent on “eliminating foreign influences in Muslim countries”.
Arguably there is now far more western presence in the Islamic states than before the attack. That’s usually how it goes with terrorism.
I don’t think anybody believes this will change anything, but I have to admit there’s a sense of resolution.

There have been times when I just haven’t felt like posting. This isn’t that. We’re freakin’ busy.
Hairdressers Against Aids has been an enormous success, with A-list attention everywhere from the New York Times to the CBS morning show and David Letterman. And so on. We shot the entire documentary all over New York – including the UN!
Gotta get back to it. Hope to have more time for a proper update soon.
Watch Letterman tonight! (and the CBS morning show right now)
Edit: and The Doctors (on right now)
A fully operational mother ship.
