• Larry Kusch: Under the Dome

  The good, the bad and the undecided

  Five months after he was elected premier, close to half of Manitobans still can't make up their minds whether they think Greg Selinger is doing a good job.

  Booze news you can use

  As the city starts to thaw out, the wine world starts to heat up with more tastings, wine dinners, wine education and more. So far, 2010 has been a very low-key year for me wine-wise, with very few winemakers, export managers, etc. stopping in town since Christmas.

  Tory nomination update

  The chances of a provincial election this year are pretty slim, but that hasn't stopped the Manitoba Progressive Conservatives from getting serious about nominations. This is a particularly important story, given Tory Leader Hugh McFadyen's pledge to take a more direct role in candidate nominations.

  Jazzy Junos

  The Juno Awards nominations were announced Wednesday and jazz, despite having three categories, gets little attention — unless you count New York-based Diana Krall whose recording Quiet Nights was nominated as album of the year and vocal jazz album of the year, and who herself was nominated as artist of the year.

  Ellen on Idol — nothing to dance about, yet

  All the pre-show hype surrounding Ellen DeGeneres's arrival on the American Idol judging panel proved to be much ado about not much on Tuesday night, as the first of Idol's Hollywood-round episodes focused mostly on the performances and personalities of the contestants and very little on Ellen's interaction with Simon, Randy and Kara.

  Motley Screw

  Can we dispense with the puritanical tsk-tsking about the couple who were schtupping/lapdancing at the Motley Crue concert? I mean, it's a Motley Crue concert. What do you expect? Hasn't anyone read The Dirt?
