I’m going to be reading from and/or talking about Fight the Right at a meet the candidates thing in my home riding of Beaches-East York tonight at about 8 pm. We’ll be gathering at the St. Louis Bar and Grill (1963 Queen Street East) for grub, grog and a gab about what Grits need to win.

If you go, you’ll get to meet some of the local Liberals who have put their names forward to help run the riding. They’re up for election at the AGM on December 9 and they need your vote. C’mon by to meet them!

The last four postings, I note, are about the news media, and how they sometimes bewilder me. I’m sure I bewilder folks, too, but I don’t charge anyone for “news” or “opinion.”

Anyway.  They’re not having a good morning, the MSM. I’m sure they’ll feel better tomorrow.

My friends Clay Ruby and Paul Magder have already agreed to the stay.  So why is today’s hearing in any way news?

(Swear to God, some days, I think I am totally missing things.  Is there a reason why dozens of reporters and camerafolks are crammed in a courtroom this morning, tweeting and reporting on something whose outcome is already known?)

Why was it written?  Why is it being headlined, anywhere? Why are Opposition MPs compelled to comment? Why should anyone care, when this guy hasn’t been near cabinet for years?

Ottawa is crazy.  That isn’t news, either.

Film at eleven.

And people wonder why journalists aren’t successful as politicians.  Wonder no more, etc.

So, on December 2, Cesare Rizzuto, at thecuttingedge180@gmail.com, pops me a line. He writes:

You really are à small man Get over it Ford got votes in not Mr. E health  Get à réal job.

Sweet, short, to the point, albeit almost incomprehensible. Uncharacteristically speechless, I respond with nothing.

Cesare, undeterred, comes back, today:

The more i trad you the more i will vote P.C. Have you ever had à réal. job.

I do not wish to anger the Ford Nation, but I do not know what a “réal. job” is.  Throwing caution to the wind, I respond:

Consider spell check. Please.

What will Cesare say next?

I hate them.

However, I have already found that, if you delete cookies, etc., you can get in with little difficulty.

Anyone else have clever suggestions about how to do so?

P.S. However brief it is, I predict this will be the most-read. most-commented post since the now-legendary Kraft Dinner post of 2008. Comment away!
