I have begun cleaning house over at www.wernerpatels.com. In case you have not noticed, I have made the transition to providing full-length web columns on that site, rather than inane “blog posts”.

Yeah, that new “Liberal” blog aggregator has gathered up all the bright and intelligent Liberal minds in Canada.
No, not really. That was a bit of wry humour on my part. Truth is that LiberalsOnline.ca is the exact opposite of bright and intelligent. A quick look at the front page of their aggregated posts tonight revealed [...]

If you visit my main site at www.wernerpatels.com, you may have noticed that its template and design keep changing. That’s just me, fooling around and testing various design features.

Now, there are only two explanations for this — but in either case, it confirms I am at least [...]
