TSX Is Stunned, Slumlord Is Surprised, Jamario Moon Is A Slam Dunker
TSX plunges nearly five percent in one day. The stocks dropped as a result of a worldwide sell-off prompted by the probable American recession that, depending on who you talk to, is either here already, coming very soon, or never going to come ever. Of course, you'll only hear that last one when you talk to George W. Bush.
Landlord of "the Dungeon" says it's not his fault. He only rents it out, he says. It's not his fault if the tenants are pigs, he says. He is shocked, shocked by the conditions there, he says. Also, he asked, "Why would anybody poop in a bucket when there's a perfectly good window?"
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama engage in tense, heated debate. Also present at the debate, although you would not know it from the article: John "The Littlest Candidate" Edwards.
Liberal senator under investigation for overbilling. Mobina Jaffer apparently charged for thirty hours of work in a single day. Ms. Jaffer's defense is that she works so hard for her clients that she is capable of bending the laws of space and time. Thus, she is now under investigation not only by the Law Society, but by the Physics Society.
Finally, Jamario Moon will be in this year's slam dunk contest at the NBA All-Star Weekend. This is exciting because the last time a Raptor player got to participate in the slam dunk contest it was Vince Carter, and look how that turned out!

Fixed. The TSE is the Tokyo Stock Exchange, in case anybody is wondering why it's not TSE.
Knowing nothing about said Dungeon, I have to say it certainly does sound like the tenants' fault. A bucket? Really?

I agree with you there rocketeer. It's not the landlord's fault that the tenant was a dirty mofo. But if the tenant did point out to the landlord the condition of the toilet and the living conditions then we would have a different story.
Um, no, maybe not his fault, but it is HIS property and ultimately he is responsible. I would think he would at least want to know what is going on in one of his properties.
No other tenants complained of wierd smells coming from the apartment? If someone is my building is crapping in a bucket, I'd think someone would notice.
Also, in some zero tolerance cases of drug use by the tenants, the cops can seize the landlords property, despite claims of "it's not my fault."
mcguinty is right on one thing - abolish the senate already.
