Have you noticed that whenever the Senate Scandal gets a little too close to Harper, "new" Rob Ford allegations blow it off the front page?

Coincidence?

Take today for example. The Conservatives used their Senate majority to squelch the appearance of the senior Deloitte director who was stage-managing the Duffy audit. That's an egregious bit of self-serving senate manipulation that should outrage the public and the media watch-dogs.

Nor only that, but also today Tom Mulcair was hitting rather close to home with his pointed questions about why a couple of New Brunswick senators, who appear to have been playing the same fast-and-loose game with their expenses as Duffy, remain in the senate.

All in all, a day of serious questions, serious enough that they would have led the evening news at CBCCTVGLOBAL....

But then, late in the afternoon, HOLY MOTHER OF BATMAN IF IT ISN'T A WHOLE NEW SORDID BATCH OF ROB FORD REVELATIONS!!!

Yup, that cleared the boring old senate scandal off the news agenda for the rest of this week!

And Ford doesn't mind. He's become bigger than Toronto. In fact my pal AC is talking him up on CNN even as I write these words. Did you see how they loved him at the Bills game on the weekend?

If Hunter S. Thompson had any idea the Ford story was coming down the pike he woulda stuck around just to see it for himself.

Stars align to proclaim the ANTICHRIST

Yup, they have indeed.

The North Star is right there in Uranus... and the Antichrist is...

Puffy Duffy!

The Canadian media are doing their best to spin the Nigel Wright personal cheque for $90,000 as a "loan" to a hard-done-by senator.

That's how the Illuminati would like us to spin it.

Truth is, Puffy Duffy makes $5,000 per speaking engagement. That isn't exactly Al Gore territory, but it ain't small potatoes either.

That's on top of his Senate stipend and the accumulated savings from his stint as a top-drawer journalist.

Obviously Duffy could cough up 90 large if you turned him upside down and gave him a good shake.

In truth, that $90k from Nigel Wright was not a "loan."

It was a tribute.

The reason Nigel has multiple bundles of $90k in his socks drawer is that he was a made member of the hedge-fund mafia.

Which reveals the truth about Duffy. Godfather of the hedgies...

The Antichrist!
