The press and the media criticise Conservatives for lack of policy detail, wrongly in my view, it’s persistent warped spin from Labour that’s uncritically accepted by the left-leaning media.

I’m all for something that can lift us up. If a book or action can have us behave and think more positively, hey, why not? So that’s why I was particularly happy to read Think Confident, Be Confident by Leslie Sokol and Marci Fox. For those that have read “self help” books before, you’ll find more of the same motivating speech in this book. Where the book differs, however,...

Most things sound better when master thespian William Shatner recites it over soothing, melodic percussion. Levi Johnston's Twitter page (real or fake) is no exception. Levi is furious over a skit on last night's Tonight Show in which Levi came off looking like a moronic, racially insensitive pothead ... by virtue of his own Twitter page.
