Don’t tell everyone you’re running a campaign to improve your reputation.

Sheesh.

… and this one is indeed big news.

(And let’s not forget who appointed him to the Senate in the first place.)

“In a move reminiscent of former prime minister Paul Martin’s 2004 decision to strike the Gomery commission into the federal Liberals’ sponsorship scandal that happened on Jean Chrétien’s watch…”

Headed this way! Call in the army! Cancel everything! Repent!

Son One was pretty stoked about this one, this morning. He’s a counting on a snow day.

I told him he’s dreaming. Anyone care to offer some baseless speculation?

He will be missed, big time.

Without Pupatello, I think it’s going to be really, really hard to keep that seat.

Mayor Raye-Anne Briscoe, take a bow.  I think you’re amazing.

She, like me and not a few others, think the Queen’s Jubilee medals are a joke, and have about as much value as a concession stand token. I said as much on Wei Chen’s CBC Radio show this morning.

Mayor Briscoe sent hers back a few days ago.

Boy oh boy, I wish Toronto had a mayor like this one (the letter’s a bit hard to read, but worth the trouble):

Damian Abraham is the leader of Canada’s greatest band, and one of the world’s greatest bands, Fucked Up. They are more than good; they are god-like geniuses.

Last night, Damian tweeted that he wants a song Ras Pierre and I wrote in the Hot Nasties, ‘Secret of Immortality,’ played at his funeral. I hope that doesn’t happen anytime soon – but here’s his tweet, and beneath it a link to the song, in which you hear Pierre doing what he and I used to call his “fiddly bits,” and me pontificating (per usual) about life and death and Norman Rockwell. In a nasally, twangy teenaged vox, age 17 or so.

“On January 18, 2012 I made allegations that Warren Kinsella was fired from Sandra Pupatello’s campaign for leader of the Ontario Liberal Party. The allegations were false. Mr. Kinsella was not fired from the campaign. I retract those allegations and I sincerely apologize to Mr. Kinsella.”

Matt has also made a generous donation to the Arthritis Society, at my request. Good luck to him and his team in the weeks ahead. Onward and upward.
