This is why I blog.

This is why I read blogs, and why I write my own: otherwise, I wouldn't learn about (and relay) information on Ezra Levant's Conservative Cruise! Thanks to Rick Mercer for finding it.

Imagine - a week-long cruise with the brightest lights of conservative thought. OK, now imagine getting hammered with Colby Cosh! I bet that boy can sling it. However, I'm not sure if I want to spend thousands of dollars to drink and sunburn with overweight white men. Even though I'd fit in.

I was part of the University of Alberta Debate Club when Ezra was there, and I have to say that I wasn't crazy about his demagoguery even then. However, I respect the name he has made for himself and wish him the best in his political-slash-publishing ambitions.

Hell. There might even be a job at the Western Standard for me. Does being an Albertan mean I'm qualified? (I voted NDP in the last federal, though - I'll keep that under my hat.)
