Well done - that subtle drive by smear was positively Shore-like.

You seem to refer to one of the highest read - and responded to - columnists here who also is thus far the only major market columnist in the country to win the columnist of the year award in back to back years.

Those seem like pretty solid merit/excellence criteria to me.

Other than swallowing and regurgitating the Liberal and liberal party lines, what other excellence criteria would you accept for columnist positions?
