And its The Globe. Wouldn't that be his exact demographic? I Always think Sun equals Ford, Star equals Chow Globe equals Tory. Am I out to lunch?

I tend to think the NatPo is Toryland, but I could be wrong.

Definitely not Chowland.

Probably nothing wrong with selling email lists. Or selling logos. Or re-selling phone numbers. Or selling web designs and websites. Or subleasing campaign offices. Or using City Hall offices. Or using City Hall staff. Probably nothing wrong at all.

I belly laughed . I see it said really fast by an obviously devolving twitcher

1) The 'Moe' v, 'Doug' thing oughta get some traction. Pretty meme-able.

2) Tory's 'Upper Class Twit' obliviousness leaves an opening for Doug''s "Elitez is the badz" sucker-punch counter.

3) Olivia slhimmies through the middle with a Jagger at Altamont-esque "Brothers and sisters, why are we fighting?"

Just spit-tballin'

I forgot them. But still, who would the globe endorse?

Hudak.

That's a joke, sort of. A joke with an agenda. Look up the story of the Globe editorial endorsement for the recent provincial election. It is not pretty.

Thats eye opening. So its not really a simple question of who would the globe endorse, but who is the globe.

Well, in the case of the Hudak editorial, more like "who is the Globe's owner"

What was the fallout? Did the editorial board lose anyone? Will Thompson be able to be as autocratic again or has there been any sort of fix?

The fallout was egg on their face and a big fat leak to the Canadaland blog, which got lots of circulation at the time. Nothing further that I know of, though I expect some really bad blood remains internally. As for the Thomsons, they're the owners. They will always be able to do this, they probably always will do this. In short: Globe will endorse Tory no matter what.

If a pitbull could smile, this is what it would look like...right before it bites your leg off.

I guess I'm a rube, I always liked Mclean. I thought it was pithy and homey not really supposed to be funny. Never heard Keillor, but way to pile on vinyl cafe. Smells like self loathing Canadians to me.
I had never heard of Rex Murphy til last night either. That piece was awful. I couldn't make out the second slur against anyone who didn't worship at the fordian feet but thats where I cut it off.

You're not a rube, hostage. You just don't have the same reference point as some folks here. If you enjoy McLean, please continue to do so. No harm. No foul. Me? I'll spend my time elsewhere.

Thanks Cooper. Fact is I grew up on the Waltons and Little House on the Prairie. Hokey feel good stories with a morality tale worked in. I finally watched the Blindside the other day. Thats what McLean seems like to me. I have probably caught one episode a year for fifteen years by happenstance. I grew up to dig Sid Vicious and Lou Reed but yeah im still a rube. Grin

Thats a grimace! Screen cap away. Links are tricky on a phone.
