SvenGolly asked if it would write some kind of elegy for Canadian journalist/historian/author/television personality Pierre Berton. As I mentioned earlier,
my schedule today is rather packed, but let me say that one of the
things I admired most about Pierre was his ability to challenge and

If you want a good elegy for Mr. Berton, allow me to point you to Colby Cosh, who provides an interesting writeup; after all, he’s a new-school conservative who’s writing up an old-school liberal.
And for your enjoyment, I’ve enclosed a video that you’d never see a
similar American figure take part in; it’s of Pierre Berton explaining
how to roll a joint.
(The video is included with this article as an enclosure.)

Thank you, sir, both for the subject and for the mention... my first mention in the blogosphere. Makes me think I should start blogging myself, rather than just live vicariously through others. ;-)
Many thanks for the video clip as well. I'd heard about the segment on Monday Report, but hadn't seen it. Much appreciated! :-)
Cheers,
