Good read.

So, on December 2, Cesare Rizzuto, at thecuttingedge180@gmail.com, pops me a line. He writes: You really are à small man Get over it Ford got votes in not Mr. E health  Get à réal job. Sweet, short, to the point, albeit almost incomprehensible. Uncharacteristically speechless, I respond with nothing. Cesare,

I hate them.
However, I have already found that, if you delete cookies, etc., you can get in with little difficulty.
Anyone else have clever suggestions about how to do so?
P.S. However brief it is, I predict this will be the most-read. most-commented …

Ewg!

Ben Rayner, no less: • S—t From Hell, Why Do You Hate Me? (Sudden Death). One could easily write S–t From Hell off as a joke band because it’s a punk combo fronted by noted Liberal strategist Warren Kinsella and, frankly, also because its lyrics are damn funny. The band’s latest, Why Do You Hate […]

Nick Kouvalis is a big man. Or he used to be. He allows that he had a surgical procedure that helped him shed nearly 200 pounds. Kouvalis is also kind of a big deal. Just ask him. He brags to reporters about how he created a fake Twitter account, and how that single bit of […]

1. Son One has GTHL game last night. 2. Boy on other team goes to aggressively check him for second time in a minute. 3. Son One raises hands to protect head. 4. Son One’s arms connect with other boys’ head. 5. Son One gets first-ever major penalty and suspension, as other boy allegedly injured. […]

The coming battle between Ontario Liberals and the Ontario PCs and NDP will not be governed by the Marquess of Queensbury rules. It’s going to be down and dirty. It’s going to be ugly. And those who prefer to spout jargon, bureaucratese and the like are going to be chewed up and spit out. To […]

Left to, um, right: Big City Lib, Brian Shiller, Adam Chalef-Freudenthaler and David Shiller. Got a government or politician you want toppled? These are your guys.  Assembled at SFH’s gig at the Bovine Saturday night,  these gunslingers shared a pint or two, and toasted the notion that municipal officials shouldn’t be, you know, lawbreakers. There […]

I find it a tad ironic that the newspaper that regularly trumpets the results of a polling agency like this, then publishes a piece like this.
Delacourt’s piece was timely.  I wish her bosses would heed what she had to say.
They won’t.

The Rob Ford bit, below, has resulted in a fair bit of mail from my admirers. Here’s a good one, from josie.erent@talented-minds.com ( I kid you not): —–Original Message—– From: josie.erent@talented-minds.com Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2012 17:36:43 To: Subject: i will vote for Rob Ford  2nd term.l I will never vote the Liberal crooks and […]

In politics, when one becomes radioactive, friends rapidly become few and far between. Scandal and controversy are usually the cause. A politico gets enmeshed in some sort of mess, and people who previously returned his or her phone calls become elusive. Invitations to events and get-togethers start to dry up. Encounters in public places get […]

Tonight at the Bovine, 542 Queen Street West!

Some of the folks who helped, pro bono, to get Rob Ford removed from office – I won’t reveal who they are – intend to come to SFH’s gig tomorrow at the Bovine Sex Club on Queen Street West.  It will therefore be a celebration of sorts. If you want to join in, and meet […]

Even though there is some stuff in it that I should like, I don’t believe any of it.
We have work to do.  And: always work like you are way, way behind.  Take nothing for granted.

Whether there’s a by-election or not – and whether she actually runs or not – she’s candidate for me.  Looks like she is for the whole city, too:

I don’t ever like her stuff – she always needs an editor, her stuff could always be tighter, and she is always predictable in her conservative politics – but quite a few folks have brought her latest effort to my attention. I’m biased, of course: I know all of the people in the complaint against […]

From a Tee Dot Liberal: “Warren, Sandra is the candidate for us hands down. I was at the five riding event last night for the five unheld ridings and after listening to her give a two minute speech (all the candidates were given a same allotment). The choice is an easy one.” And, just arrived! […]

I’m going to be reading from and/or talking about Fight the Right at a meet the candidates thing in my home riding of Beaches-East York on Thursday, December 6th at 7:30pm. We¹ll be gathering at the St. Louis Bar and Grill (1963 Queen Street East) for grub, grog and a gab about what Grits need […]

…and, without getting into too much detail, I can reveal a family emmber may or may not have been part of this. Neat, eh?
