The anonymous "Vision hierarch " still has not emerged as a real person. I am anxiously awaiting this individual's story.
“Do you really believe Vision Vancouver dumb enough to create a “media hit list” & shared it? I have serious doubts. A Trojan Horse story?” – Jeff Lee, Vancouver Sun – allegedly number 9
“I agree with Jeff Lee on the media hit list until I see real proof. It struck me as absurd.” – Charlie Smith, Editor of the Georgia Straight – allegedly number 11
“I have seen the “problem media” email. Leaker claims Mayor’s as sistant Quinlan helped create it.” – Bob Mackin, 24 Hours – allegedly number 12 (EDITOR’S NOTE: If Bob has seen an email, and is stating that the leaker is only claming that Mayor’s assistant Quinlan helped create it, then obviously the email Mackin saw did not come from Quinlan – which inserts huge suspicion into this “story”)

Danny Devito was brilliant in the movie "Batman Returns."
Just saw one of the older Batman movies on television the other day…boy was Danny Devito good as the Penguin.
On an entirely different stream of consciousness, readers of this blog are well aware of the battles between myself and Alex Tsakumis, whose venomous rants have been on display through his blog for the better part of the past year. Some of his highlights include:

And every time I think that I have snickered and shaken my head for the final time, he presents me with even more fodder.
Yesterday’s post was the latest ammunition for my internal laugh track.

Just when you thought you have heard it all from Vancouver's City Hall, Gregor Robertson has gone and added some shock-jock communications to his staff.
The calls and emails started pouring in last night as I was finishing moving, but as of 20 minutes ago, I can now confirm that Mayor Gregor Robertson is on the verge of adding a new communications staff person to his team.
I cannot mention any names due to the City’s human resources department working on the details of the contract as I am typing this, but I can report that this individual used to be a former 24 hours columnist and is well versed in the art of personal political attack, something that has been sorely lacking in Robertson’s cabal since he first took office.
My sources have provided me with information about a loud, one-sided argument that occurred at City Hall Monday night involving His Worship and former communications chief person Kevin Quinlan.
The details, from those who could actually hear the back and forth from the hallway outside of Robertson’s office, are not pretty.
