Frank Kennedy “Frank, sit down. What can I do for you?”
“Well Millstone, old friend, you are acknowledged as the greatest oracle in the Western world. I come to you for some free advice. What would you do to solve the difficulties facing Pope Benedict today?”
“Frank, I’ve never accepted the old bromide that the buck stops here and by that, I mean at the Pope’s door. In an organization of over a billion people ... (Continue reading)

Frank Kennedy Liberal opposition party leader Michael Ignatieff is thought to be swimming in a tank of sharks. A group of top Liberal politicians thinks he’s politically dead or heading in that direction. Ignatieff’s plummeting popularity is a concern for some of the wannabes in the federal Liberal party who are sharpening their knives. His approval rating is now down to 20 per cent.
In his published resume, he says he’s not a “church guy” and he sure proved it by alienating a ... (Continue reading)

Frank Kennedy I’m going to the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville,” I told my wife Ileen. “Sarah Palin is going to be the keynote speaker.”
“Sarah Palin! She’s terrific. Who’s paying for it?” she asked, suspiciously.
“The Tea Party people. The Democratic party recommended me highly.”
“The Democratic Party!” she exclaimed. “After what you accidentally did to the Democrats telling the whole world that Obama falsely had gone over to the pro-life side? That’s help ... (Continue reading)

Frank Kennedy No way. To go to Copenhagen and hang out with a huge number of closed-minded people addicted to junk science I felt would’ve been just a waste of time, like trying to talk Stalin into going to church.
At that big 12-day showy international climate change junk science schmozzle held recently in Copenhagen, a lot of toothless and half-baked resolutions were passed for home consumption. The losers: the taxpayers. Who won?
The king ... (Continue reading)

Frank Kennedy I got a call from a group of mysterious people in Florida who pleaded with me – and almost demanded – that I come down to Florida and help solve the marital problems of a prominent golfer whose name they refused to reveal. But it was obvious whom they meant. They referred to him only by his code name: “Mr. T.”
The caller introduced himself as Greg Watson, Mr. T’s executive ... (Continue reading)

Frank Kennedy How I made it into the inner recesses of the White House remains a mystery to me, but there I was in the War Room of the CIA Office of Political Disinformation. I had to hurdle a number of obstructions that would have stopped dead any spy getting in and ended up standing before a tall, imposing gentleman with dark glasses who said:
“I’m Bert, the station command officer. You’re Frank ... (Continue reading)

Frank Kennedy “Where are you going, Frank?” asked my wife.
“Ottawa, my dear, to interview a BQ MP.”
“I thought it was only Liberals you enjoyed torturing?”
“No, I’m just trying to change the course of history.”
“Good luck, dear.”
The next day, after arriving in Ottawa, I inquired: “Is this the office of Francine Lalonde, the BQ member for La Pointe-de-l’Ille?”
“Yes, what can I do for you?” asked an attractive young woman in a business suit ... (Continue reading)

Frank Kennedy If you’re going to be a crook, Canada’s the place to be.
Not Zambia, where the government isn’t printing any more of its worthless money. Or Somalia, where they haven’t had a central government in 10 years. Or Saudi Arabia, where thieves get their hands cut off and adulterers get stoned. Or Iraq, where your coloured voting finger gets cut off by jihadists. And certainly not the United States, from where ... (Continue reading)

Frank Kennedy It’s helpful to learn, in these difficult financial times, the problems we share with the very wealthy, who have to experience getting along on considerably less income. Ruth Madoff is one of those persons, the celebrity wife of an epic swindler, Bernard Madoff, a financial adviser who was found guilty of purloining $170 billion in a gigantic Ponzi scheme. Her husband’s estimated annual income was $75 million. Bernard was recently ... (Continue reading)

As the Queen’s Park columnist for The Interim, I recently found myself aboard Air Force One on assignment, heading towards Indiana and Notre Dame in the company of U.S. President Barack Obama. I was ensconced in luxurious surroundings, sitting in a window seat in the rear of the plane. Having a glass of Famous Grouse to satisfy my thirst, I happened to glance over at my seating companion and was ... (Continue reading)

Frank Kennedy When Ralph Nader attended a press conference at Queen’s Park in Toronto to an overflow media crowd a few years ago, I asked him: “What’s your stand on pro-life issues?” He dismissed me with a wave of his arm. It was obvious he wasn’t going to wade into that contentious issue. It’s the same situation at the Park today.
As an associate member of the Queen’s Park Press Gallery, with press ... (Continue reading)
