Take this one on page 5 of this morning's Ottawa Sun.
She tells the story of Paul Ross Anderson, a 48 year old Ottawa man who, in a drunken stupor, felt the need for a bottle of pickles but did not feel the need to pay for them so he stuck them down his pants at the Metro on Rideau Street in Ottawa September 23rd of this year.
He was sooooooooooooooooo drunk that he had to ask his lawyer what he was accused of stealing.
Pleading guilty yesterday, Mr. Anderson was given 46 days to think about his malfeasance.

930...More Good News For Toronto
It looks like J. P. Riccardi, the boy wonder who wasn't wonderful, is on his way out of the Big Smoke.
Steve Simmon's Last Word piece in the Sun papers today leads with "The sure to be fired J. P. Ricciardi is adamant the Blue Jays can't ever compete in the American League East because of the high spending New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox."
Great attitude, eh?
Don't let the door hit you too hard on your way out.

916...The Next World Champ Boxer From Canada
Is an Ottawan.
In today's Ottawa Sun was a story about the future champeen of the world, Jessica Pickard, who was given a conditional discharge yesterday for putting the beats on her boyfriend and her friend who she caught dancing horizontally April 27 of this year.
Megan Gillis of the Sun, who seems to get all the fun stories, reports that not only did she put the beats on her now ex and her now ex friend but she also set the woman's shoes on fire.
Wait, it gets better. Miss Pickard, 20, also admitted to Judge Dianne Nicholas that she assaulted two young women at a Kanata mall March 1st and also acknowledged doing a dance on top of a stranger's Volkswagen Jetta April 12th causing 1500$ in damage.
Wonder if she is single?
Fingers crossed.

869...Sports Is The Opiate Of The People
I sincerely believe that if Karl Marx had have written Das Kapital in 2009 as opposed to 1848 he would have changed the line "Religion is the opiate of the people" to "Sports is the opiate of the people". And in much of The Great White North you could say that "Hockey is the opiate of the people".
In my town, Ottawa, the government could fall, the sky could fall with it but if the Ottawa Senators made a big trade, ala the Dany Heatley deal, in the same news cycle as the previous two stories they, the Sens, would be front page news in the Ottawa Sun and Le Droit and above the fold in the Ottawa Citizen.
Case in point. Prime Minister Harper is in Washington to meet with the President of the United States. The first story being fired out of the meeting is not about trade or war or jobs it is about hockey as referenced in Post 792 "Blame Obama If The Habs or Senators Lose".
In that post I wrote how the law would make travelling for the Canadian teams extra difficult by not allowing their charters to hop from one U. S. city to another. Here is the cut and paste from the Canadian Press about an hour ago addressing that topic:
The first story from this meeting between our guy and the most important guy on the planet and the topic is Go Leafs Go.
What a country.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper says the U.S. and Canada have reached a tentative deal to resolve a dispute over charter flights that threatens to disrupt the upcoming professional hockey season.
The U.S. prohibits carriage of passengers or cargo for compensation or hire by a foreign airline solely between points in the U.S.
Yet Canadian teams could have difficulty playing back-to-back games in the U.S. if they are forced to return to their home country between each game.
Harper said Wednesday: ``We think we're very close to resolving that ... I think we have some kind of a tentative agreement in principle and we're working to finalize that in the next few days.''
He spoke in an appearance with President Barack Obama.
The first story from this meeting between our guy and the most important guy on the planet and the topic is Go Leafs Go.

853...Great Minds Think A Like [Or Read My Blog]
I have taken a bit of a licking for not subscribing to group think and for saying that Elizabeth May is a kamikaze pilot but I am vindicated a bit by Kalvin Reid's editorial in today's Ottawa Sun where he says pretty much the same thing about her ill fated decision to run against Gary Dunn, the Minister of Sport, in Saanich-Gulf Islands.
I agree with Mr. Reid that the Green's would be better served with at least one elected MP.
Where I don't agree with Mr. Reid is when he says that he thinks Ms. May is a leader without "political acumen". Oh, no, she has a lot of political acumen it is just the self aggrandizing kind and I sincerely believe by tilting at windmills like Peter McKay in Central Nova and Mr. Dunn in Saanich-Gulf Islands, in combination with getting her face on the national debates, she is martyring herself into the cash for life confines of the Senate.

847...Do Not Steal
Not a good plan but especially if you steal something that licks.
For example, a dog.
Megan Gillis of the Ottawa Sun has an example of such circumstance. Richard Marcel Dore got tossed in jail for 90 days last week for stealing a dog for his girlfriend for Valentine's Day. What our hero did was go into Pet World at Carlingwood in Ottawa and pick out a puppy as a Valentine's Day gift for his beloved. Sadly, and this is where the story goes wrong for Mr. Dore, the Boston Terrier Bulldog mix cost 1000.00 dollars which he did not have at the exact time he decided on said dog. When he went into the store the next day the scoundrels that run Pet World had sold the pooch.
As he told a probation officer "They did me wrong---they sold the dog." See, not his fault.
Since it was not his fault Mr. Dore felt compelled to right that wrong by returning at night and doing a smash and grab. The smash was the store's rear window. The grab was the two month old puppy.
Amazingly Judge Celynne Dorval did not see the wronged party as being Mr. Dore and gave him 90 days and told him to pay 7oo bones for the window he broke plus a year of probation.

763...I Made An Error
Unforced error.
In Post 746 I pointed out that the saving grace of Jacques Demers becoming a Senator is that it will take him off the Habs broadcasts on RDS.
According to yesterday's Ottawa Sun I was wrong. His bosses are willing to work around his arduous schedule as a Senator or, more likely, his job as a Senator is going to take a back seat to commentating on hockey games.

718...Did You Know Canada Is At War?
And in a recession?
There is also a lot of other funky stuff going down, homelessness, a bit of crime, archaic drug laws that criminalize non criminals, the lack of a CFL team in Ottawa.
All this pales of course when one thinks of la cause celebre Dany Heatley in our National Capital.
Mr. Heatley is on the front page of both of the Anglo papers in Ottawa, The Sun and The Citizen and, perhaps, I don't live in a francophone area, on the front of Le Droit.
In case you don't know, Mr. Heatley is a hockey player for the Ottawa Senators but he doesn't care for his new coach [read: boss] and has had enough of living in Ottawa, working for the Senators and wants to be transferred elsewhere. From the reaction of Joe Fan, who doesn't know better and muckty mucks like Barry McWhat'sHisName, Mayor Larry's spin doctor, one would think Mr. Heatley is some kind of devil, er, demon.
Think it through folks. First off, he is a hockey player, an entertainer. Two, have you ever had a job you di'nt like, a boss you di'nt like? This seems to be the case with Mr. Heatley.
Doesn't like his new boss, is bored with the town, wants to move.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Get a grip Ottawa. Gatineau. Eastern Ontario. Western Quebec.

551...Hockey News, After All, It Is July In Canada
QMI Agency had a story this morning in the Ottawa Sun that Pierre Karl Peladeau, who lives with the funniest woman on the planet, Julie Snyder, wants an NHL team for Quebec City.
Mr. Peladeau, who was rebuffed in his attempt to buy the Montreal Canadiens, makes the solid point that "Quebec City is a hockey city...more than certain American cities..."
He is right there of course.
And then again, he is wrong.
Quebec City's problem is that it is Quebec City.
When attracting talent, reference Eric Lindros, it comes down to location, location, location and Quebec City is a place that star players don't want to play in.
Location is also what spiked the Vancouver Grizzlies. If you recall, the most likely first ever draft choice of the NBA team was Stephon Marbury who said he wasn't going to go to Vancouver, to close to Russia for his liking, so they had to pass on him. Ditto their last obvious draft, Steve Francis said he wouldn't go to Van. They drafted him but he invoked, among other things, God's will, and forced a trade to Houston where he was co Rookie of the Year. It just isn't a town that NBA stars want to be in.
Same with Quebec City. Attracting third line players, no problem, but the higher you get up the food chain, the less likely the player [and his wife, you cannot forget they have to live there too] will want to play in the town.
Not hating, just stating.

484...Bluefest Blues
The 2009 Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest is happening as we speak and, of course, nimbyism is rampant.
All the papers---Le Droit, Le Sun, Le Citizen, Le Metro---are rife with stories of neighbours who are so angry that these rock and roll bands are playing their music so loud. I mean, like, why can't we have quiet rock and roll?
My friend Lindsay Ferguson, the pride of Belleville, will be making noise this evening at 6 15 on the Subway Stage on Lebreton Flats. Check her and her hot new Le Chateau clothes.
Look for me in my blues sombrero.

481...Shannon Tweed
Front page news, Ottawa Sun, is Kiss bassist Gene Simmons' long time squeeze, Shannon Tweed, who was supposed to have her own day in her former home town next Wednesday, Shannon Tweed Day, has been disrespected by Ottawa City Council.
Doug Thompson is taking his turn in the rotation of acting mayors that are replacing Larry O'Brien while he's awaiting acquittal on spurious charges brought by former rival and current window licker, Terry Kilrea. One of Mayor Thompson's first moves was to declare next Wednesday Shannon Tweed Day after the former playmate, who lived in Ottawa for several years.
Cannot have that in Ottawa, OMG. As Lowell Green said on CFRA's The Lunch Bunch, we cannot have that in Ottawa because it sounds like fun.
I swear, if Toronto is New York City designed by the Swiss, Ottawa is Toronto designed by the Amish.
Former bartender, party girl and model, Miss Tweed left our city about three decades ago in search of her dream. She achieved such by becoming first a Playmate Centerfold and then Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1982.
Councillor Jan Harder said that the honour cannot simply be bestowed on someone who is well-known and has lived in the city. "It's a frivolous use of a proclamation process to honour somebody who, quite frankly, means nothing to the city of Ottawa," said Miss Harder.
Means nothing to Ottawa?
Tell that to any man who was a boy when Miss Tweed was naked in Playboy in the early 80's. Actually, more than something. A lot more than something. And a lot more than Steve MacLean [who's dat?] who was honoured with a day in Ottawa sometime in the past. We have also had a World Laughter Day and a bunch of other crap.
Miss Tweed's big problem is that she is hot and non hotties hate hotties.
Oh, last point, Matt Crosier, the General Manager of CKCU, told me over coffee yesterday that the City of Ottawa is prohibiting Miss Tweed's boyfriend's rock ensemble from using any explosions on stage next Wednesday night.
Explosions over the Peace Tower on Canada Day, we good. Explosions at a Kiss concert, no way.
Welcome to Ottawa.

340...Bull Meet Man, Man, Bull
Mikey I and Stephen Harper weren't the only ones fighting for their lives in Ottawa this week. Lee Carruthers, a 50 year old cowhand at the Ottawa Livestock Exchange in the southern end of the city, lost a battle Thursday with a one ton Holstein bull, a battle that nearly cost him his life and ended up resulting in broken ribs and a collapsed lung.
Donna Casey reports in the Ottawa Sun online that Mr. Carruthers was walking through an alleyway at the facility when the bull decided that he didn't like Mr. C and took a run at him. Knocked to the ground, Mr. Carruthers slithered away, a ten minute slither with an angry bull in the house, not too nerve racking, and broke into another pen and then waited.
Mr. Carruthers is resting comfortably in hospital; the bull will be resting comfortably on a barbeque near you.
I thought Michael Ignatieff and Stephen Harper had the most exciting Thursday in Ottawa.
Wrong yet again.

75...Always Wear A Condom
Travis Henry.
If you are an NFL fan, you probably know the name; he was a Pro Bowl running back out Florida who played college for Tennessee and was a second round draft choice in 2001.
His hobby was making babies.
Lots of them.
He made Sean Kemp look like Pope Benedict in that department.
Rough numbers, 11 [eleven] kids from 12 [twelve] women. Or may be it is 12 from 11, gets a bit fuzzy when you hit the double digits.
Amazingly, although he made serious bank as an NFL star, he has fallen a bit behind on his child support, resulting in jail time, garnishments and a career change.
The career change is what got Mr. Henry in today's Ottawa Sun. After getting released from his 22.5 million contract [as per usual, nothing in the NFL is guaranteed] with the Denver Broncos last summer, Mr. Henry decided to sell cocaine and marijuana.
He was an All American running back; obviously did not have too much trouble with the ladies but; selling coke and pot, not so successful.
Subsequent to his arrest last October, Mr. Henry made a plea agreement Tuesday that comprises of a mandatory 10-year sentence along with approximately $4 million dollars in fines.
Always wear a condom.
