In actual news, Toronto Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti has revealed evidence of a massive conspiracy against him that includes email hacking and a threatening letter. Now the envy of paranoid nutters everywhere, Mammoliti goes on to say that he knows the people involved and suspects other councillors of contributing to the campaign of terror. That's right folks, you heard it here first: TRUST. NO. ONE.
Charming TV show, or DEADLY DOCUMENTARY?

TTC chair Andy Byford took the unusual step of offering a public apology for a substandard commute on Monday. With that apology, Byford can claim one down, 324,645,100,224* to go. (*this number entirely made up but seriously come on now)
And speaking of apologies, the Globe and Mail's public editor Sylvia Stead is channeling Miss Manners this week as she gets into a huff over her own Paper's Monday cover photo of figure skater Kaetlyn Osmond (the actual photo, in case you were wondering why flying with legs akimbo was offensive to anyone besides amputee air-traffic controllers). Twitter went into a frenzy over the provocative pictorial, and Osmond responded on Kiss FM: "Truthfully I don’t mind the photo. It’s part of my program and it’s fun… Our skirts go flying all the time. We’re used to it." Sudden interest in figure skating spiked after "skirts go flying all the time".
Hopefully the G & M's upcoming cover expose on Massage Parlours will soothe some ruffled feathers.

Justin Trudeau is making national headlines once again with three simple words passed on a porter airline, thus raising the average Porter Airline experience from mind-numbingly dull to "average". Twitter exploded in an orgiastic fit of political madness, then vanished with a whimper when Stephen Harper's communications director Andrew MacDougall replied with a manufactured response of his own, thus proving once and for all that something is only cool until someone uncool gets in on it, at which point everyone suddenly becomes interested in something else.
In science-y news, a news release was prematurely issued that Voyager I had left the solar system. The release was subsequently shot down by NASA officials, simultaneously shooting down the perverse fantasy of nerds everywhere that we were about to reenact the plot to Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Finally, in international headlines, a man gets to wear a silly hat after successfully emerging from a building after lighting up a whole bunch of paper that makes "colourful smoke", if you know what I mean.
