‘The Clinton Chronicles’

Queen's Park "Rumour has it that inside every Clinton ‘Bible' is a bound copy of Playboy." "Bill Clinton makes a pretzel look straight." Clinton jokes are as numerous as Clinton lies, but the real story about the U.S. president has yet to be told. If Democrats in Congress think the president's actions in the Lewinsky matter don't "rise to the level of [...]

Latimer prosecutor cleared of obstruction charge

Robert Latimer was convicted justly, Judge George Baynton of the Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench ruled June 19, in dismissing obstruction of justice and jury tampering charges against former Crown prosecutor Randy Kirkham. In an exclusive interview with The Interim, Kirkham said it's been "a long, long wait, and I'm glad it's all over." Latimer was convicted of second-degree murder last year [...]

Toronto separate school board rejects fund-raising for UNICEF

Metropolitan Toronto Separate (Catholic) School Board trustees are surprised the board would consider a recommendation from three senior staff that the UNICEF organization be allowed to continue its fund-raising efforts in Toronto-area Catholic schools. UNICEF, a once great world-wide organization that helped children in need, lost its way in 1974 and, along with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), has become a [...]

Saskatchewan plays hard ball with Latimer prosecutor

Carrying on their vendetta against the pro-life/pro-family movement, the Saskatchewan NDP government has suspended Randy Kirkham, a crown prosecutor without pay since June of 1996. Kirkham has been charged with "attempting to obstruct justice". Kirkham successfully prosecuted Robert Latimer, a Saskatchewan farmer, who was convicted of second degree murder in November 1994 when he used his truck's carbon monoxide to kill his [...]

A difficult hero

Morgy was on the phone. Ever since I saved him from being publicly executed in China recently, Morgy can’t do enough for me. “Frank, you don’t know how grateful I am that you flew all the way to China to save my life.” “Stop reminding me! What was I thinking of? It must’ve been the free trip in your Lear jet.” “I [...]

Truth is subject to new meaning

My New Year’s resolution this year was to try to be more charitable towards my friends and adversaries. Summed up –it means for me to stop calling liars “liars.” After all to ‘lie’ is to break one of the Ten Commandments and that is a very serious charge. And there’s always the distinct possibly that I could be wrong. Or even worse [...]

Where are you Joe Borowski?

I remember the time a few years ago when Jim Hughes called and asked me if I would go out to Pearson Airport, which is just on the outskirts of Toronto, the following afternoon, and pick up Joe Borowski who was flying in from Winnipeg. Joe was supposed to arrive at Terminal III for a pro-life conference and I was to drive [...]

Bubba vrs. Dodo

Bubba was on the phone. I got a call from Bill Clinton. Bill wanted me to come up with a slogan for his re-election bid for the presidency of the United States in November. Right off the top of my head, I suggested: ‘Crud Wins – Vote Clinton!’ Bill loved it and thanked me profusely and said that he would use it. [...]

Dr. Jack at home

Dr. Jack Kevorkian invited me to come along with him recently to visit some of his patients. His misunderstood me and mistook me for ‘Ted’ Kennedy. (This embarrassment happens frequently to me). Kevorkian was delighted to have a senator come along with him on his calls. Kevorkian realizes he’s a celebrity and likes to capitalize on it. He thought that in the [...]

It’s a Dog’s Life

Holly is the spunky Irish setter who was horribly abused by a 65-year-old Ontario woman who had been asked to look after her. Her case has evoked more sympathy from all over the world than the million and a half babies who have been aborted since 1969. Holly was tied to a car bumper by Maureen Cook and dragged 500 metres along [...]

Nurses of the world arise!

By: Frank Kennedy Laying off 387 nurses at the Toronto General Hospital! Heaven’s to Betsy – what were those nurses doing!? Weren’t they doing something? I mean ‘something.’ They couldn’t of all been discussing last night’s horrible dates. I know they all enjoy a bit of chin-wagging at their stations- but surely some of the 387 nurses turned up occasionally to check [...]

Bill Gates to the rescue

Bill Gates was on the phone. I knew it was Bill because he always calls me collect. (How do you think the president of Microsoft got to be worth 18 billion?) Bill sounded frantic. “Frank, is that you? What are you doing up there?” (‘Up there’ always meant Canada to Bill). “What do you mean? What am I doing?” “I just read [...]

One night in Chinatown

Alan Keyes, the strongly pro-life Republican candidate for President of the United States summed up the abortion issue recently when he thundered that there is no right to do wrong. The Canadian Abortion Rights League (CARAL) held a banquet on a cold and blustery evening in a restaurant in Toronto’s Chinatown to honour Norma Scarborough, a former school secretary, and Michelle Landsberg [...]

The curse of Morgentaler

Faithful readers will remember the horrendous problems that our family experienced when somebody stole our car about a year ago. Well this is like one of these Hollywood movies—just when you think the hero has escaped unscathed, he’s being attacked by the same villain again but much more violently! Our Honda’s electrical wiring failed miserably recently and left us riding around in [...]
