Well, all things election are in the bag, and I have to say that I’m pretty happy with the way things turned out. The Liberals won another majority including gaining 4 more seats, Liz Sandals won Guelph, and in the most interesting turn of events, John Tory won nothing, losing the race in his riding …

Another Name To Add To The List
Ok, Steve, I’m going to horn in on your appropriate names for people in news stories action, because I can. The chair of a conference on making cities more pedestrian-friendly, called Walk21, is named Jim Walker. Well, at least it’s not as bad as the poorly-named souls who are wheeling around in wheelchairs named Walker. …
Porn Sunday?
This story wasn’t too special. A bunch of churches want to designate one Sunday a year as the time to rail against porn. But two things stood out for me. First, what is with this guy’s obsession with elephants? He refers to porn as the elephant in the pew because everybody sees it but doesn’t …
There were Thieves, Thieves, Stealing Dying Men’s Cheese, At The Corner Grocery Store.
The UK sucks, but you know where else sucks? Mesa, Arizona! Why? Because if you get smoked by a moron who doesn’t know how to drive because he toasts you at a bus stop, and you happen to have bought groceries, as you expire, and someone is trying to help you, the locals will steal …

Close Enough
Facing charges of assaulting a government official after he allegedly coughed in the face of a police officer who was issuing him a ticket is Kent Kauffman.
Calling Officer Bigballs
Here’s another one for the British police are screwed up files. It all started when Daniel Horne was out with some friends, and got a flat tire. He got out of the car, and started walking down the road looking for help. Someone thought he stole the car, so called the police, and they came …
Contraband Broccoli?
This story makes me giggle. I saw it a month ago, but it didn’t push the right buttons then. Today, it does. Sadly, I had to get the link for it out of the google cashe because it has fallen off the original page where it was found. Yea google cache. It all starts with …
