This post has been percolating for a while, and I was motivated to write it by a Royson James column I read a couple of weeks ago. For the first time in a long time I actually have finished everything I needed to do this weekend, so I actually have some time to write. So …
I wanted to wait on this particular post for a little while to let peoples’ emotions die down a bit, but I would like to write about the death of Jack Layton. I’m not going to write about the man himself mind you, but rather the remarkable response to his passing. I will say this …
Antonia Zerbisias is a columnist and tweeter that I often like and have ocassionally agreed with, her politics regarding Israel notwithstanding. In a twitter post earlier today she wrote: “DAMMIT JANET!: Evidence that some cops are indeed pigs” and linked to this article. I won’t go into detail on the original blog post, you can …

I haven’t stopped having opinions in the last two years (or even stopped sharing them in a condescending fashion), but I have stopped publishing …
This may seem like an odd name for a blog, or at the very least a dire one so I figure it is probably a good idea to offer some insight. I chose the name “The Wandering Joe” for a couple of reasons; the name tickled me for certain, but it also has some meaning …
Welcome to my new blog (which will be kind of similar to my old blog). I need some time to put the theme together so for now you won’t see any content posting. With any luck I’ll make my first post by next Sunday. As you can probably tell by the look of this site, …
