Thanks old friend. Keep reminding me.

Is “Cuomo” the Italian word for “dunce”?

The 1901 Superbas couldn’t hold a candle to the 1890 Brooklyn Bridegrooms, though.

“Their 63 hits surpassed the Cleveland BROWNS, who had 62 in 1950.”

Fair enough, but Otto Graham, Marion Motley and Lou Groza were playing without the DH.

Being a state representative from Wisconsin and having five bucks gets you a venti latte at Starbucks.

What’s that? It was against the Rockies so it doesn’t count?

Not for nothing, but didn’t the Rockies beat the Yankees one outta three in May?

And wasn’t New York’s run differential against the worst team in MLB +12, compared with +39?

Plus-39 over the last three days. Hey, Yankees TV crew, do the Jays look like a first-place team to you yet?

Like, that man has helped make fact-checking irrelevant with his bullshit vibes-based system. The man belongs inside an active volcano, if I'm being entirely honest.

“We’ve got another full lineup of great shows for you tonight on CTV.”

That lineup of great shows? eTalk, followed by seven (count ’em!) reruns of The Big Bang Theory.

Canada’s number one television network.

And here I thought I was covering off a base by mentioning a current series and not King of Kensington.

The biggest lie we Canadians like to tell ourselves is that we are somehow morally superior to the United States, even when the evidence to the contrary is overwhelming.

Why Canada is collaborating in any way, on anything, with that pedophile-led shithole of a government strains credulity beyond the breaking point. #ElbowsUpYourArse

The Murdoch Mysteries. If the Buffalo PBS station is any indicator, the tote bag crowd are gaga for mystery series.

Israel, the only democracy in the Middle Wast™, doesn’t want us to see the evidence of their crimes against humanity, so the CBC naturally agreed to play by their rules.

But hey, at least a few Palestinians might get to eat without being used for target practice, so yay Team Carney, I guess.

The United States is not a democracy. It’s a republic. Of bananas.

If I ever get famous enough to be snubbed by Tom Power of “Day 6” or Matt Galloway of “The Debaters,” I will still consider the CBC to be a friend.

He once failed to show up for a client’s sentencing, and another client was granted a retrial because the judge thought he did such a lousy job. Maybe courtrooms are no-go zones for him too?

That just means he turned into somebody’s drunk uncle at Thanksgiving in the blink of an eye, rather than slowly over a longer term.

As a result, we get right wing parties openly talking about how much they hate minorities, and then you have the “progressive” parties out here like “we’ll let the gays marry, but we’ll still oppress trans kids” and people clap for them and act like it’s the only reasonable option.

A TORONTO STAR headline: 
RCMP's Greenbelt probe 'still ongoing' despite moves by ethics watchdog

As Ontario's ethics watchdog clears the deck of Greenbelt-related investigations, it's still full steam ahead with the Mounties' criminal probe of the $8.28-billion land swap.

Ontario’s so-called ‘Captain Canada’ is still under investigation by the RCMP.

It’s hard to have faith in truth or justice prevailing these days but hope springs some of the time.

It is undoubtedly true that some food aid has been stolen (although doubt has been cast on Israeli allegations of systemic looting). It’s true that data on civilian casualties from the Hamas-run health ministry are misleading in ways. And it is beyond a doubt that Hamas propaganda has sought to exaggerate certain instances of suffering.

The editorial board of Canada’s national newspaper The Globe and Mail has just published genocide denialism.

Might be because the family were only in Canada for a couple years, before returning to the States.
