The Lighter Side Of Dementia?
In which Rudy Giuliani amply illustrates the old adage that it takes one to know one. May the farce be with him. Marching behind Mayor Adams is @RudyGiuliani who gets…

Paltry Offerings – Part 3
As the Ontario election campaign continues on with inane promises, I continue to rely on the cartoonists to present the real picture. One of Doug Ford’s early friends: Recommend this…
Willful And Egregious Ignorance

Paltry Offerings
I can’t remember a time when I have been less inspired about an election. Here in Ontario, where we go to the polls on June 2, we have Conservative Doug…
