Colby Cosh

Colby Cosh (born May 2, 1971) is a Canadian commentator, writer and editor of non-fiction, and blogger.
Life and career
Cosh was born in Edmonton, Alberta and grew up in Bon Accord, Alberta, north of Edmonton. He graduated from the University of Alberta in 1993, doing further study in European intellectual history under libertarian scholar Ronald Hamowy. Cosh generally writes political, social and sports commentary for his blog, and professionally for the conservative press. Cosh's own views tend towards libertarianism.
Cosh was the central character of the comic strip Colby Christ, published in The Gateway, the University of Alberta student newspaper. The comic had replaced Space Moose after Adam Thrasher, the author of that comic, left the university in 1991 to work for a company. Donald R. "Don" Husereau, a pharmacy student and friend of Cosh, drew the strip while Cosh assisted in the formation of the depiction of himself. Cosh said that the comic "was generally quite indecipherable, occasionally offensive (a joke about little kids with leukemia drew hate mail that would have made Space Moose proud), and funny once or twice." His website ColbyCosh.com was started in June 2002.
Besides politics, Cosh occasionally writes about ice hockey, and is a contributing member of the Oilogosphere.
