Let's hope he's going to an incredible place soon. Dante's eighth circle of hell might be good.

I've always thought we've underestimated the blessing that declining eyesight is to us old folks. We and our spouses always look 20 years younger than we are.

This would have been in March 2010, I think.

An aside—did my wife and I meet you in a small restaurant in Paris once when we were first moving to Toronto and your wife defended Ontario as not flat? I've forgotten that lawyer's name, but I'm sort of thinking it was yours.

Of course, if the law allows what happened at Cornell not to be rape, it's not good law either.

000

I argued that rape should be defined by what a jury of women decide is rape. They know it when they see it. Men apparently don’t. Unfair to men? If there’s any doubt how a jury of women would rule, don’t do it.

Guessing Hamilton, Ontario, but not sure.

Wasn’t it Arnold Palmer’s dick that got him excited last time?

Although it’s actually hard not to identify that bird if you have any experience with North American birds. I mean it’s totally centred on the yellow rump of a yellow-rumped warbler.

Did they mean to suggest black men on top of white women?

If the male stripe is on top (as of course it must be) then does this suggest black men should be on top of white women?

Will the DOJ have new leadership though? I mean the unitary executive will still be king for another two years.

Best thing is they'll only find out what the mystery food is after they eat it.

Just as it was easier to argue in favour of states' rights than slavery, it was easier to argue in favour of free speech than racism. It was never really about free speech, just as it was never really about states' rights.

I guess because the people of Alberta elected her to do that? Sort of like Americans electing Trump.

I keep wondering what that free-marketer, Maria Corina Machado, thinks now after being played the fool by her buddy?

Has Norway now been demoted to a shithole country?

I congratulate the young women for demanding a fair wage.

You think he'd want more gold plastered on it, like the Oval Office.

I voted early today . . . but in Canada, not the US.

Doug Ford (premier of Ontario) apparently fears Toronto turning into Amsterdam. Apparently the Dutch already have a foothold . . . amsterdambeer.com/pages/our-st...

So if I read that right, dog-walking is $90/hr?

This one got to me, though: "In fact, Aitchison is effusive in his praise of the party leader as being 'among the most thoughtful humans I’ve ever known.'" PP is one of the most thoughtful people Aitchison has known? Is that a confession that he knows no thoughtful people?

I do tend to agree that if we are going to allow a barbaric practice like the death penalty to continue, we should make it as brutal and public as possible so there is no possibility of us hiding our barbarity from ourselves or from the rest of the world. That said, we should not be barbaric.

000

Yeah, but he won the FIFA Peace Prize, so there!

I'm so tired of Americans not doing anything to stop it.

Don't make excuses for them. They're just evil.

Hard to tell who are the Romans and who are the barbarians.

Hardly new. The country was built on slavery and native genocide.

Tolstoy's famous line: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way"

“Follow the law wherever it leads” even if it leads to the destruction of democracy is maybe not the heroically neutral position Alito pretends it is. Besides, the law often leads in many directions. Or in none.

I've been saying for years that No Kings demonstrations are really just a "ProtestFest"—an exercise in self-indulgent and self-congratulatory virtue signalling where people hang out in the park on a Sunday afternoon entertaining themselves with their funny costumes and signs. They do nothing.

Same on Saturday in Toronto. One of the best performances I think I've ever heard.

Because they like their money too much to risk losing it?

000

One dollar, four dollars—who cares? The housekeeping staff will sort that out.

The great thing about this scam is you promise people that if they give you money some other guy with an unknown address will reward them when they die. They pay you, you don't have to report the income or pay taxes on it, and then when it comes time for them to sue you for fraud, they're dead.

It's your car. What we're asking is why the hell you aren't doing anything to turn off the fucking alarm.

Can you arrest someone for "dishonesty"? If that's the case, Trump's skating on some pretty thin ice. And then there's disservice to the country . . .
