Hubris and Arrogance

Conrad Black and Stephen Harper

If God exists, they will have to answer for many things


It is a pity that Canada's most observant pundit is keeping quiet these days.

It would have been great to hear his views on Harper shutting down Parliament, and Conrad Black's appeal to George Bush for a pardon.

I suspect he wouldn't have too much sympathy for either of them.

Here's an article entitled Prescience (which features the photo above) by The Ambler (Kevin Michael Grace) on Conrad Black's various adventures, including renouncing (then demanding back) his Canadian citizenship, and the various newspapers he owned, sold, and got into trouble over.

I did a short take on Black's sudden love for America-hating comedian Rick Mercer, considering Black was the champion defender of all things American, until his conviction for fraud and obstruction of justice, that is.

When he suddenly wanted his Canadian citizenship back.
