Historicist: "The city that nobody loves"
Elsewhere in the Ist-a-Verse
It was only a few days ago that (now former) Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was given the support of the President. But now, the day after the Republicans were sent packing in the House of Representatives and (it looks like) the Senate, Rummy is packing his bags as well.
While the Americans are in a fine mess in Iraq, according to a new CBC survey it now seems more Canadians think we’re in a mess in Afghanistan, too.
Yesterday, another man was charged in the Boxing Day murder of Jane Creba.
Oh my God! The escalators are rising up against us. Everyone run! Hide! Save yourselves! I, for one, welcome our new mechanical overlords, and remind them they will need a blogger for their websites as they force the rest of society to toil away in subterranean mines, harvesting resources for their war on the elevators.
Briefly: Toronto tried to set the world record for the longest single line of dancers this morning on Front St. Maple Leafs captain Mats Sundin is out of commission for the next three to four weeks. The Raptors win in a nail biter. I have to say, Chris Bosh nailing that three pointer had me jumping on my couch. And finally, Lost is off the air until February. At least it went out with a fantastic episode.

I was on a TTC escalator last week and when my hand brushed the metal part beside the rubber strip, I got a massive electrical shock. Near the top I accidentally got it again, so the entire side panel was electrified.
Yes, I alerted the TTC about it, but man...how does that happen?
Speaking of escalators, what's with people stopping right at end, standing there looking around while everyone else behind them panics trying to dodge them?
Marc, I'd love to know the answer to your second question. Maybe it would help me figure out why people suddenly stop in the middle of a busy sidewalk, or why people walk through a set of doors and immediately pause.
It's a problem at stairs and elevator doors to. Yes, you're in a different part of the building now, but please keep moving while you get your bearings.
I totally shot out of my chair when he hit that shot!
For years, my friends have been hating on my Raptors love. Now everyone's going to get the fever.
CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Toronto has set the world record for the longest kickline once before, at the SkyDome's opening ceremonies in 1989.
Hey Dart,
Just realizing that anyone besides us won't really see the irony with which we scream 'Championship!'
If only 'better-than-garbage-division-basement!' were as poetic...
A good Raptors team would almost make the winter bearable. Almost.
