Friday afternoon tidbits

- John Ivision is reporting in the National Post today that the Grits intend to introduce balanced budget legislation at the federal level. Smart pre-election manoeuvre: move right and steal the Tories' ground. The Liberals have mastered this art and have done it again and again. That's why they always win!

-Interesting article in today's Globe Report on Business magazine on Allan Slaight, the proprietor of radio giant Standard Broadcasting. In a Q&A sidebar accompanying the article, Slaight admitted his current nighttime reading is Bernard Goldberg's 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America. Slaight is a known conservative, but that's courage! It also again shows that conservative media ownership doesn't necessarily mean a conservative editorial line: according to sources who listen regularly to Toronto's Slaight-owned CRFB, it has drifted to the left in recent months.

-Happy to see New York Times reporter Judith Miller is out of prison -- her source gave her permission to reveal his name. Read the remarks from her press conference today to understand why she is one of the profession's most principled practitioners.

- Is it worth $2.50 a week? Ummmm, ya, I think so.
