Satch and Osama
I am a big baseball fan. If given the opportunity, I could talk your ear off about Cap Anson, Shoeless Joe, Ty Cobb, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Christy Mathewson, Babe Ruth, Henry Aaron, Sandy Koufax, or Ozzie Smith.

A few years ago I attended a New Year’s party in a town just south of our fair city. Attending said party was the host and hostess, their children, their children’s friends (of whom I was one) and some neighbours. One of the neighbours was a 14-year-old girl. She seemed no different from any other… Continue reading No sex please, we’re Calgarians

Re: " War crime guilt is a global affair ," Nov. 1, 2001,
Editor, the Gauntlet, Chris Morrison’s article perfectly displays the blissful doublethink of certain members of today’s media. He criticizes the trial of Milosevic as hypocritical, "those accusing him are just as guilty," while also managing to criticize the American bombing campaign in Afghanistan with a reference to their having blown up "Red Cross buildings." The… Continue reading Re: " War crime guilt is a global affair ," Nov. 1, 2001,
