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 who did it, or why, but it’s a pretty slick piece of work.  We live in interesting times, eh?

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 Pop Records sign SFH to put the song out as the B-side to a 7″ release of their smash worldwide hit, ‘Mayor On Crack.’

Earlier this week, Canada’s Best-Loved Political Web Site™ makes the connection between Ford’s video and a jailhouse beating.

This morning: we learn the police are investigating Ford and the “murder” video.

Moral of the story: SFH are godlike geniuses, and we anticipate the news before it even happens. Here, again, is ‘Rob – The Rob Ford Song,’ featuring Steve Deceive, the mysterious strummer who has disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle, never to be heard from again.

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 usual.

To the defendants, meanwhile, we say: good riddance to bad garbage. May your misery be long and deep.

Next up: the scumbags at Brain Dead Animals.

What you don’t see is me behind the camera, making monkey faces.

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 man.

What’s amazing is that the question even has to be asked, as it was here.

You (and the police, hopefully, ultimately) can try and ascertain the truth. In the meantime, here’s a video in which Rob Ford talks about, you know, killing someone.

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 serious libels you can make. They’ll insist on settling with a non-disclose, but if I were advising NCCM – and I am not, and have not – I’d tell them to get stuffed. An apology made in secret isn’t one.

But I understand why Rolling Stone did it.  This guy – as I said to my former Boss last week, a notable progressive leader himself – is the most famous progressive leader in the world.  If he is not stopped from carrying out long, long overdue reforms, I now believe Pope Francis can change the Catholic world – and, perhaps, the greater world beyond that.

I am a regular church-going Catholic (lately, twice a week) – and I favour the ordination of women, the recognition of Catholic gay marriage, and women’s reproductive freedom.  I’ve always been in a Catholic minority (I think) because of that, but the smiling guy up above is giving me hope that may not always be the case.

Comments are welcome, as always.  But be civil, or you’ll be excommunicated from this web site.

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 off family vacations to help out, a friend I’d violated confidences to protect, a friend I considered a brother – looked me in the eye and said: “Don’t worry. We’ll go the Tories before we’d support her.”

He wasn’t only one telling big lies last January, but he’s the one I won’t forgive or forget. In politics, the only currencies that count are loyalty and trust. Nothing else matters.

Another political truism I live by is this one: something that starts in easy lies always ends in hard truths. And a hard, hard rain is coming for you, RW, and I will celebrate it when it does.
