Blog of Adam Daifallah -- author, journalist, law student. Lover of politics, writing, golf, curling, fitness, fashion, bacon and maple products -- not necessarily (but probably) in that order. Partisan of the Anglosphere. Contact me via email at adam@daifallah.com. This summer I am joined by Keir Wilmut and Omar Soliman. Wednesday, January 12, 2005 Two favourite time wasters 1. Jonathan Rose, a prof I had at Queen's, keeps an online archive of Canadian political advertising. You can watch a bunch of ads here, and the 2004 federal election ads are up here. I'm rewatching that first ad, "Harper and the Conservatives," over and over. Boy, was that an effective ad or what? The Liberals are so brilliant when it comes to negative advertising. Wish the Tories could do the same. 2. The Hoover Institution, the voice of sanity on the American Left Coast, is archiving episodes of William F. Buckley's now-defunct telvision series, Firing Line. Few clips are up as of now, but I think they intend to keep it growing. Particularly worthwhile are the two Reagan shows, "Two Friends Talk." # posted by Adam Daifallah : 1:48 AM    << Home   National Post peeps RSS - Syndicate me! Andrew Coyne J.
