March 24, 2008 – 11:14 am
Since it’s going to be a hellzapoppin’ election year in the United States, it’s likely that we haven’t seen the last of the political sex scandals as each candidate’s team is probably digging up dirt on the opposition. You might find Matt Bors’ little cheat sheet below handy…

The Credit Crisis, in a Single Picture
March 20, 2008 – 12:31 pm
A couple of readers have sent me email asking if there a more concise way of illustrating the “Credit Crisis”/”Subprime Meltdown” than the 23 comic panels in my earlier posting, The Credit Crisis, Illustrated.

Today’s a day off for me and many — but not all — people in Ontario, as it’s the first instance of a new statutory holiday called Family Day. The establishment of this holiday was a promise made by the Provincial Liberal Party for a long weekend in the depths of winter.
