Rob Ford’s broken promises
Nearly 6,000 views since it appeared on Friday. Coincidentally, 6,000 is the relevant number for illegal campaign donations Rob Ford took in the last election.
Back in the closet in Sochi
My view on Sochi remains the same – we shouldn’t have gone and ignored/validated Putin’s gay-hate. My friend Strombo just tweeted something, however, you should read: a member of the…
The record: Chretien cut political staff and budgets
Under Harper, of course, the size of ministerial budgets and staffs have ballooned. Some fiscal conservatives, eh? Was a fun read, by Beeby, here.
World’s tallest freestanding mayor
Mayor de Blasio and Lala. She’s six feet even, but taller in her Sorels. So just how big is this guy, anyway? From the venerable Times, which has conducted an…
In Sunday’s Sun: ten reasons why Trudeau’s Senate move is a bad one
How dumb is Justin Trudeau’s Senate stunt? Let us count the ways. There are ten. One: it won’t really fool anyone. To great fanfare, the Liberal leader announced Wednesday morning…
Olivia is a best seller!
Meanwhile, John Tory is deciding whether to write one or not. Rob Ford is wondering if the book has big words in it. And Karen Stintz is wondering if she…
Not in a drunken stupor
Of course not. Here he is in a Vancouver bar last night, just before he was stopped by police. For jaywalking, maybe more. He was drinking a Coke, he says,…

Not sure who the faceless guy is, but the two tall people look friendly enough.

This has been pinging around the Internet this morning – I first saw it on the Twitter feed of someone I follow who is out in Vancouver. Anyway – dunno…
Murder, SFH wrote
A few weeks back, Canada’s best-loved geriatric punk punsters, SFH, put together a song about Rob Ford ranting in a video about how he planned to kill someone. Then, Ugly…
Byline: Warren’s excommunication from LPC will happen in five, four, three, two…
And wait’ll they see my column in the Sun papers on Sunday! Hoo boy! I’m about five minutes in. Yes, I think it’s dumb. No one agrees with me, as…
Warman wins again
To the defendants, meanwhile, we say: good riddance to bad garbage. May your misery be long and deep.

Trudeau Senate gambit: lotsa fun when you’re in Opposition, not so much when you’re governing (updated)
As Ms. Kirbie just reminded me, Trudeau’s plan is terrific and bold and whatnot when he’s in Opposition, and the Liberals represent a minority in the Senate. But when he’s…
Rob Ford: I had nothing to do with a murder
What’s amazing isn’t that Mayor Crackhead – he who gives little kids the finger, pisses in public parks, and drinks and drives near schoolyards – denies he killed a young…
Wynne, Northumberland governments place hundreds of kids at risk
More here. The local government is out to get them – and the provincial government doesn’t give a sweet damn. Meanwhile, the entire process has been rigged to give a…
When you call someone a terrorist
As I mentioned a few days ago, PMO needed to lawyer up. They now see why. Harper and PMO will lose: falsely calling someone a terrorist is among the most…
A year ago this week
The anniversary passed and I didn’t even notice. I suspect I’m not alone, in that regard. Telling. A year ago, a friend of many years – a friend I’d cut…
