<p>After the <a title="Ottawa Citizen comment article" href="http://www.ottawacitizen.com/opinion/op-ed/Stephen+Harper+puts+Conservatives+bind/9211218/story.html" target="_blank">op-ed</a> on the Senate scandal came out, I went down to a friend&#8217;s hunt camp in NY state.</p>
<p>There, I was instrumental in taking down a ukulele with a 12 gauge. Ukulele season is quite short, so I&#8217;m happy I could get down for it.</p>

<p>After that, I shaved and did some interviews.</p>
<p>In addition to the <a title="Sachs in Citizen on Senate scandal" href="http://www.ottawacitizen.com/opinion/op-ed/Stephen+Harper+puts+Conservatives+bind/9211218/story.html" target="_blank">Ottawa Citizen</a>, the article ran in the <a title="Sachs in Victoria Times-Colonist" href="http://www.timescolonist.com/opinion/columnists/david-sachs-stephen-harper-puts-conservatives-in-a-bind-1.714067" target="_blank">Victoria Times-Colonist.</a><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">The article was a big hit on the Citizen website, with 60+ comments, a large twitter reaction, and top spot on Canadian news aggregator National Newswatch.</span></p>

<div>My piece was cited in quite a few articles:</div>
<div></div>

</ul>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>I was also cited in<a title="Sachs in Parliament" href="http://openparliament.ca/debates/2013/11/27/kennedy-stewart-1/" target="_blank"> Parliament</a>, so my name is now in <a title="Sachs in Hansard" href="http://www.parl.gc.ca/housechamberbusiness/ChamberPublicationIndexSearch.aspx?arpist=b&amp;arpidf=2013%2f10%2f16&amp;arpidt=&amp;arpid=True&amp;arpij=False&amp;arpice=False&amp;arpicl=&amp;arpics=True&amp;arpicp=True&amp;arpicd=True&amp;arpico=True&amp;arpicc=True&amp;ps=Parl41Ses2&amp;Language=E&amp;Mode=1&amp;Parl=41&amp;Ses=2&amp;arpit=&amp;arpitp=E&amp;arpialtid=39088,113396&amp;arpicpd=6339212&amp;arpicid=6336458#Para3486747" target="_blank">Hansard</a> and I can cross that off my bucket list.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Things said about me after the article:</div>
<div></div>
<blockquote>
<div>&#8220;pompous blowhard David Sachs&#8221;</div>
<div>&#8220;no points as a champion of ethics&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
</blockquote>
<div>And that was just from my family.</div>
