Cheap shots and Friday morning snark

So Don Cherry's going to introduce Mayor Rob Ford at his first council meeting?

Bill Blair is making Julian Fantino look good

Why, yes – as a matter of fact, that was a monkey flying out of my ass. What's your point?

Careful what you wish for, Julian

So Fantino's the new MP for Vaughan, and word is he's being groomed for a cabinet post right away.

Blatchford smacks Fantino? Cue the schadenfreude chorus

Oh, dear. The queen of unthinking gut reaction says Julian wasn't there for the little guy at Caledonia.

Thwap hits one out of the park

A lot's been written and posted about Stacy Bonds and the vicious cowardly scumbags in Ottawa police uniforms who beat and sexually assaulted her, but thwap's just done a masterful job putting it all into context.

Re Trudeau / Fantino: I hate to be a buzz kill, but...

Justin Trudeau's slap at Julian Fantino over the Charter of Rights would carry just a little more weight if his party hadn't tried to draft Il Dunce as a candidate and weren't enabling the Harperites in their continuing campaign to use the Charter for toilet paper. Not to mention the fact that under Iggy, they vote with the government every time it really matters.

Sorry, Liberal friends. Hypocrisy is hypocrisy, no matter where it's coming from.

Authoritarian whacking material: the Stacy Bonds video

Via JJ and the Dawgster. As JJ puts it, imagine a boot stamping on a human face, forever.

I really can't add anything.

Oh no, wait – yes I can. Matt Humphreys, John Ayre and Chris Bentley: today's Little Eichmanns ^TM. Take a bow, guys. You're a credit to the legal profession.
