How's that "building relations" thing going, @TorontoPolice Tweeter guy?

Just checking in.

Any progress identifying / charging these cocksu – er, perps?

No, eh? Oh, well. Pretty hard when witnesses don't come forward, isn't it.

How about:

• Arresting the two assholes who kicked Adam Nobody in the face after he was handcuffed?
• Charging the cowardly sacks of shit who beat the crap out of Lacy MacAuley?
• Or the scumbags who tore John Pruyn's prosthetic leg off?
• Or the sadistic pigs who got their jollies kicking Sean Salvati around in the interrogation room and then parading him around naked, in front of a female cop?

No? Well, do keep us posted. I'm sure you meant it when you said this:

If I might just throw one more word into the mix: Comprador. Because "whores" and "traitors" just seems a little ... vulgar.

Catholics and Protestants: The great schism, explained

I suppose if I'm going to go on and on about church doctrine, it's only fair of me to put it in context.



What can I do? The power of Christ compels me.

I'm sorry, I just can't help it sometimes.



It's probably not the most famous or best-remembered scene from Blazing Saddles (and in truth, it's got a lot of competition), but in light of the Catholic school system's way of dealing with gay and lesbian students, it seemed apropos.

And that's just for starters.

The travesty that took place this week is common knowledge by now. Activist Leanne Iskander, who's got more courage in her little finger than most people have in their whole bodies, has been threatened with disciplinary action if she continues her advocacy for gay-straight alliances.

A monorail for Toronto? I'm late for this party, aren't I

Sometimes the posts practically write themselves.

I'm sure all the obvious Simpsons references have already been made, although the giant Ferris wheel thing does put me in mind of that scene from The Third Man with Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles.



Either Mayor Stupid's on vacation or Brother Stupider's gone off message again. Can never tell with these two, and more often than not, it doesn't really matter.
