The Kid is Larry O'Brien who, if it could be quantified, was the worst big city mayor in the history of history.
The former mayor of Ottawa got himself back in the picture by Tweeting, I would guess btw the way he had a few wobbly pops in him, the magical word "...spic..." when referring to Hispanics.
Third story on CBC TV in Ottawa at 5 tonight and page 5 I believe of the Ottawa Sun.

4169...42
"Babe Ruth changed baseball; Jackie Robinson changed America."
The man who broke the colour barrier in professional sports and was a civil rights pioneer, Jackie Robinson, was born this day in 1919.
He broke into the bigs with Brooklyn's Dodgers in '47; his first year as a pro was in '46 with the Montreal Royals.

4168...Bye Bye CBC?
Here we go again. Kris Sims of QMI's Parliamentary Bureau tells the nation this a.m. that "Conservative backbenchers are rekindling their fight to abolish the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Four Tories presented petitions in the House of Commons Monday calling for the state broadcaster to be defunded or sold to private industry."
You know it is pretty hard to f'ck up national TV or Radio but the government of Canada has done so in spades. Like the Senate it ain't just the Conservatives but it is just the Conservatives now. The air is public and it should be there for people to be able to hear their neighbours stories, which, by the way, we have in spades in America. In Canada we don't have that.
That is the construct that the Tories should be striving for but, of course, under the current dictator, the less voices the better.

4166...Cannes Advertising Festival
It is an annual affair, the best of adverts from around the world.
It is on at the ByTowne Cinema in Ottawa, the one on Rideau Street near the big ass Loblaws, later this week and next week.
I would tell you to go if only for this reason and that is to discover that ads really aren't as good as they used to be.
Of course I have figured out why. It is coz political correctness has sucked the funny and the flatulent out of this world. Comedy ain't pretty and it ain't nice either.
Bring back the mean. But in the meantime head down to the ByTowne and see what I mean.

4164...Thanks For The Memories
"This ain't fantasy football." That is what the owner of the Indianapolis Colts, the worst team in the NFL this season, tells Hannah Storm tomorrow on ESPN.
[I am not psychic; the show was taped.]
Jim Irsay is the owner of the team and he says that "...it's looking more likely the Colts won't pay injured Peyton Manning the $28 million bonus he's due March 8 -- and may show him the door."
Of course as a graduate of Tennessee there is a pretty good chance that Mr. Manning could find the door on his own and could also find a good gig as a QB in the league next year.
In a case of deja vu happening all over again, Mr. Irsay also says that the team is in a toss up between picking Andrew Luck with the first draft choice or Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III. Both are quarterbacks. That was the same sitch back in the day when the Colts had to choose between Mr. Manning and Ryan Leaf.
Mr. Leaf is now a golf coach. Let's hope lightning strikes twice for the Colts.
