Straying a little bit from this week's Fordapalooza – you know, the one where they demand loyalty oaths at the door – to cast an eye toward our friends to the south.
Via @Shoq, this special comment from Keith Olbermann on the teabaggers and their electoral prospects next Tuesday.
Seriously.
This scares the shit out of me.

Cops get away with murder, local paper finds
Well. No shit.
In other news, the sun rose in the east this morning. Sources say it's likely to set in the west, too.

And when I say "everyone," I mean "everyone except Alex Hundert ... "
... and anyone else who's being harassed by the cops and the courts, persecuted for political beliefs, and coerced into signing outrageously restrictive bail conditions.
Really, Premier.

The Putz likes Ford. Who knew?
Really. Who could have foreseen such a thing?
As sure as a turnin' of the earth, as John Wayne might have said. Honestly, did anyone seriously expect anything else?
It's not especially surprising to see the Putz endorsing Ford. What's instructive, though, is the rationale – which, like most far-right tropes, doesn't really stand up to close examinations.

Let's hear from another Sun reader ...
People like this are allowed to walk the streets unsupervised.
They're allowed out after dark.
They're allowed to vote.
Comforting, isn't it.

More on police abuses
Bookmark this site: the Toronto Police Accountability Coalition.
An invaluable resource, maintained by the best mayor Toronto's had in the last half-century. The most recent bulletin is a concise and comprehensive update on much of the fallout from the G20 clusterfuck: the competing and overlapping inquiries and reviews, the class-action lawsuit, and the persecution of Alex Hundert, for example.

Really, George? That's the best you can do?
Terrific post from Cityslikr over at All Fired Up in the Big Smoke, defiantly taking George Smitherman to task for his arrogant and cynical strategy of wooing progressive voters by arguing that a vote for Joe Pantalone will put Rob Ford in the mayor's chair. I was disgusted enough by the sleazy sense of entitlement he was displaying on Metro Morning today, but this is, as they say, the cherry on the sundae.
