Somebody wrote a stupid, stupid column, and Torontoist asked me to tear it apart, because that is what I does.

During World War II the British Americans couldn’t chance the Germans Japanese blowing up their largest airplane factory – so they hid it.

EDIT: I literally have no idea how that happened.

Also, now that I am the Managing Editor and Big Chief Hoo-Hah at thecourt.ca, I don’t really write posts there any more so much as I run the place. That having been said, this post about the Prime Minister’s office appealing the Khadr case to the Supreme Court by new staffer James Gotowiec is, I think, a hell of a read.

I was going to make fun of Michael Lynch’s incredibly witless op-ed in the New York Times which boiled down to “despite the fact that absolutely everybody in the world says that peak oil is either upon us or nearly so, they are all wrong and in fact the entire world is made of oil, basically,” but then I found out that actual energy analysts had made fun of it for me.

Trent Reznor on why musicians should give their music away – and more importantly, how to do it.

– Fisheries may be near collapse, but shifting to sustainable fishing has allowed many fisheries to reverse course shockingly fast.

– The EESTOR will be in production, apparently, by 2010.

– And Nike stops using Amazonian leather in its shoes.

I don’t often pass along my work at TheCourt.ca here, but now that I am Managing Editor of the site and therefore incredibly important it seems only proper to pass along my commentary on that case where the young Jehovah’s Witness sued the government for not being allowed to die and that case where the SCC found that advertising on public transit must be considered protected speech and that case where a Hutterite enclave requested drivers’ licenses that didn’t have photographs on them.

Hey, remember when I did that thing making fun of people commenting on the Internet about a given bit of news? Torontoist asked me to do it again after the end of the Toronto city strike. So I did.
