There’s something about this day that is just so “real.” So “now.” Take it in, bros. Don’t let the world pass you by. In today’s news: potential police beating, small zoos in limbo, cheap gas pandemonium, and the Sun reports on the Junos.

You’re here! But you were in my dream! And you were there, and so were you, and even that weird backwards-talking guy from Twin Peaks was there. There really is no place like Saturday. Today, news-wise: missing girl’s remains found, Fantino’s campaign spending questioned, councillors buy mundane items, and there are lots of cars in Toronto.

It’s as though the beautiful, cleansing snow has hidden away our cares, maybe even given us hope that they’re gone altogether. Then we realize that beautiful snowman is just a piled of ice-crusted trash bags, and we go on with our day. Today: police beat another guy, Ford speaks to the Star, breastfeeding causes alarm, and a new housing plan seems to emerge.

I wonder, if I take you home, would you still be in love with me? In love with me? I honestly doubt it after you read today’s phunked-up news: Cheap beer to be slightly less cheap, McGuinty knew about ORNGE last year, outside workers offer to take a pay freeze, and the mayor may be called to the stand.
