6153...Death By Stiletto

Sounds like the title of a Mickey Spillane novel, doesn't it?

But it is real, so real and CNN affilate KTRK in Houston had the story last week. 44 year old Ana Lilia Trujillo stands accused of murdering University of Houston professor Alf Stefan Andersson with a stiletto.

When Houston's finest arrived the very, very, verrrry dead "...research professor from the University of Houston, had 10 puncture wounds on his head -- some as deep as an inch and a half -- and 15 to 20 puncture wounds along his face, arms, and neck..." which resulted in Ms. Trujillo being charged with murder "with a deadly weapon, namely a shoe".

6151...MTL Tory Gets Busted With Mayor

I am cherry picking from The Globe and Mail this morning but it is being widely reported that Saulie Zajdel, who "...unsuccessfully ran as a Conservative candidate against Liberal Irwin Cotler in the 2011 election...[and]...then acted as a 'shadow MP' working to undermine him [Cotler] while he had a job as an adviser in Heritage Minister James Moore's office." was picked up by the police this morning."

Also arrested was current Montreal mayor Michael Applebaum, pictured below in the back seat of a crusier that kindly picked him up at his home. Hizzoner "...has been charged with fraud in connection with two real-estate projects in his west-end borough." When he got the job in November of last year Mayor Applebaum vowed to be the anti-corruption mayor.

Montreal. Ya gotta love Montreal.

6150...Is The PM's Husband Gay?

Asking that question will cost you yer job. Just ask [former] drive time talker on Perth, Australia's 6PR, Howard Sattler. Thursday he asked Prime Minister Julia Gillard on air if her marriage to hairdresser Tim Mathieson was romantic or platonic. Mr. Sattler also repeatedly asked if Mr. Mathieson was gay. Enough already said his bosses at 6PR. They cashiered the talker and offered up this statement as an explaination.

Statement regarding Howard Sattler.

During an interview on the Drive program yesterday presenter Howard Sattler pursued a line of questioning with Prime Minister Julia Gillard that was disrespectful to the office and the person of the Prime Minister and was entirely inappropriate.

Radio 6PR apologises unreservedly to Ms Gillard and Mr Mathieson for allowing these matters to be raised on the Drive Program.

In the wake of yesterday's interview Radio 6PR suspended Mr Sattler from broadcasting pending a review of the matter today. The station has now decided to terminate Mr Sattler's engagement.
