That’s funny… just last week nobody was talking presumption of innocence… they were all, to a man, just screeching non-stop about hookers & blow.
It’s why, when I receive a request from a “journalist” to remove an old post from the archives, who states it’s embarrassing and shows up on Google searches, where it might interfere with his ability to find work as a freelancer …and that I’ve probably come to my senses since writing it…
In the interest of fairness, I asked if he’d revisited the drive-by he pulled for Pat Martin back on May 22nd of 2006, in light of events of early June.
You mean the case where most of the charges were stayed and the crazy guy in Toronto was buying fertilizer and going out to some farm for target practice with a bunch of kids, and the cops were watching them all along? You mean that’s why they added the swat squad to the motorcade? I would put in one of those email joke faces there, but I can’t stand them. If I were to re-visit the wider topic, it would be how Harper and Obama get along so well.
Yeah, that one.
Tim Naumetz, meet the blogosphere.
It happens when thousands of fed up Canadians cancel their newspapers, click off the televisions, and turn to the net in search of sources who don’t treat them like idiots.
So, that “Google rank” thing? It’s not a bug – it’s a consequence.
Too late for anyone to read this I guess.
I got a nice Email reply from a senior writer at the Globe & Mail.
She agreed that equating Gueris to a dog was shocking to her as well.. Said the photo guys would know more about the legalities of this.
This was my reply:….
==========================
Well, thank you for a thoughtful response to my unease about this. I thought that even with charges laid the Media had no right to equate anyone with a dog.
Guess I am simplistic regarding principal. My first thought was that both papers know there are charges. Then I thought. That makes no difference really.
Spring is here. Enjoy. The Snowbirds pulled Gs right above our heads last week at Airforce Beach next to the Comox air base.
Spring Practice…73s Tony
Thanks Kate. Looks like you have 51 friends. On the other hand, that’s more than me. The guy who talks about my bank account is deluding himself.
Why, ’cause there ain’t nothing in there? Well, join the club, Numbnutz. But I don’t know why your broke ass doesn’t realize I’m a girl. It’s a girl’s name. Honestly.
