Bachelorette Dialogue

An intro to 'The Bachelorette' at Notes From a Hack:

MOM: What a dumb premise. So contrived. You can't go out with someone for a month and then marry them.

ME: Mom, don't hate on love.

Jillian visits Kiptyn's family and their big house in Encinitas, Ca.

MOM: Oh, they've got some bucks, huh?

ME: Looks like it.

MOM: That mom is horrible looking. That's a nose job. And her eyes are weird from the face lift. Who's this?

Kid with a Walkman

He had told me it was big, but I hadn't realised he meant THAT big. It was the size of a small book.

SALT!

From the Globe:

Canadians overall take in about 3,100 milligrams of sodium a day – more than double the recommended intake for any age group and significantly higher than the upper limit most people can consume without compromising their health (2,300 mg, or roughly one teaspoon of table salt).
...
What’s more, 90 per cent of children 4 to 8 years old were not only consuming more than the upper tolerable amount of sodium for their age group every day – they were exceeding the maximum safe levels for adults.

Starts Friday

Grindstone's The Baby Formula starts playing Friday at the AMC Theatre at Dundas & Yonge:

Two adventurous women in love are desperate to have their own biological child. They take a chance on an experimental scientific process and make sperm from their own stem cells. Pregnant with humour and unexpected twists, their journey tailspins out of control when their families discover there is no father.

It's supposed to rain all weekend, so go take in a fun flick!

Freedom of the Pressed

I'm glad we don't live in Iran and, instead, live in a country where we can celebrate freedom and democracy and a free press and ... awww, crap:

Speculation spread rapidly that someone with clout put pressure on the paper to fire McCann for causing embarrassment. It wouldn't be the first time an Irving paper put its relationship with the powerful ahead of its journalism, critics suggested.
....
Efforts made over the decades to break the family's media hold have failed, despite the scrutiny of at least three federal inquiries. A 2006 Senate report stated that "the Irvings' corporate interests form an industrial-media complex that dominates the province" to a degree "unique in developed countries."

Send in the clones ... they're already here!

How did they ever produce propaganda photos in the days before the Photoshop clone tool? Here's the image of the pro-Ahmadinejad gathering padded with extra spectators ... cloning that wouldn't have been necessary if the photographers had been placed a bit lower to take advantage of the giant flags.
