Of course, Gomeshi is now better known as the host of Q a fine show upon which I shall be appearing today around 12:30-1 p.m. on CBC Radio 1, available on Sirius Satellite Radio (channel 137) or via the internet at the CBC website.

I’ve been seeing this diary start to get passed around the internets as “proof” of the John McCain campaign’s ineptitude – that they didn’t buy McCain Foods’ hyperlink before the campaign.

People. McCain Foods is fucking gigantic. They make about six billion dollars a year in revenue and they’re a Canadian company so there isn’t really even the influence-peddling issue to consider – if they’re going to bend over for anybody, they’ll bend over for the Tories, not some dinky little American presidential campaign that’s spent less in two years than what McCain Foods makes in two weeks.

Anybody who can make an advertisement like that (and McCain Foods ads are legendarily crappy, trust me) does not fear John McCain’s wrath, is what I am saying.
