Headlines

Big news day around here. In no particular order:

• Rob Ford admits to smoking crack but refuses to resign. fengi said it best: "Rob Ford has now confirmed his status as Canada's longest running Chris Farley tribute sketch." (And that was before today's shambolic excuse for a press conference.)
• Charlie Trotter died. That was one no one saw coming. SSC: I've never eaten his food.
• CTA suspends deadlines for Ventra implementation. This, on the other hand, everyone saw coming. Kinda annoyed now that I bit the bullet and bought (and registered) a card when my brother was in town. But however much the system sucks, we're stuck with it.
• Springfield legalised same-sex unions. I know I shouldn't be small-minded when 70% of the states still haven't recognised this basic human right, but all I can think is, "About fucking time."

Interesting footnote to that last one: It was five years ago yesterday that Prop 8 passed. Kind of breathtaking how completely the momentum can shift in less than the lifespan of a gerbil.

And this make Jon Stewart's heartfelt plea to get him into rehab and for Toronto to stop enabling him worth watching. And its uncanny the resemblance between Farley and Ford.
