Holy Crap! It’s Joe Clark!

January 30, 2009 – 10:11 pm

(11:50 pm)… feet on the desk, press the TV, flipping through the channels … Strombo re-run … Palestine news … Letterman’s shiny suit … what? … wait, I’d know that cherub face anywhere, can it really be? well, it is TVO, who else would it be? is this an American guest or is it really [...]

The Denials of Strombo and Blago

January 30, 2009 – 2:59 pm

A confession.Nothing fascinates me more than listening to Strombo when he’s not on the air.Away from the tele-prompter and microphone, George delivers statements so removed from the reality that surrounds him that you’d think it was a press conference with Rod Blagojevich.To wit, and witless, these gems from a recent interview:
when I say “us” and [...]

January 30, 2009 – 1:01 pm

A backwards bathrobe that has already sold 4 million since October, and been parodied by 22 Minutes.It’s either this or the worthless scribblings of John Doyle.Who cares, Just Dance!

Ballet of Brutality

January 29, 2009 – 12:27 pm

Mike Milbury and Don Cherry advocate for keeping fighting in hockey. Anything less would amount to a “pansification” of the sport, they say. Ombudsman Vince Carlin may be asked to decide if such flowery language is acceptable.

"one of the most respected journalists in Canada"

January 29, 2009 – 12:33 am

Great to see Patrick Brown still favouring us with his incredible reporting, as evidenced in his stories from China last night on The National. He seems to be constantly moving, and speaking with so many people. And the images are always powerful and evocative.The quintessential foreign correspondent.He earned a Master’s degree in social anthropology at [...]

Fiscal year end for the CBC is still two months away.Perhaps by then President Hubert will have come clean with both staff and the public about the current state of the CBC finances.Though there is no direct reference to the CBC in today’s government budget, Hubert seems confident that everything will work out fine. He [...]

John’s Falling Star

January 26, 2009 – 1:23 pm

John Cruickshank doesn’t need to think. Like his former employer, he just needs a survey. A survey that says if you move everything to Section A, circulation will increase. Watch as The Star sinks even lower with such bold ideas.

Obama staffers work like CBCers

January 22, 2009 – 11:19 am

From The Washington Post:
One member of the White House new-media team came to work on Tuesday, right after the swearing-in ceremony, only to discover that it was impossible to know which programs could be updated, or even which computers could be used for which purposes. The team members, accustomed to working on Macintoshes, found computers [...]
