4640...Leonard Cohen Is A Mensch

My Berliner friend [and I am no John Kennedy; I know a Berliner is a pastry] Brent Kerrigan tells me that [it was in all the papers] that Leonard Cohen won the Glenn Gould Prize. 

The prize, for being especially artsy and fartsy, comes with a 50,000 dollar howdy doo.  Mr. Cohen is generously contributing the whole amount to arts in His Home And Native Land.

Mr. Kerrigan points out that in the era of the Stephen Harpers Mr. Cohen is now "...now the sole source of funding for artists in Canada whose work does not fall under the three approved categories: hockey, military, and patriotism."
