Yesterday, John Hodgman made a joke about a newspaper so conservative that the only comics it ran were Mallard Fillmore, Little Orphan Ayn Rand and Garfield.
Today… this.
(Found in the comments on Hodgman’s blog.)
The video of The Agenda episode where I appear as a panelist is now online.
I’m in the segment about one-third of the way into the show.
The producer who recruited me said I held my own, but I shouldn’t be afraid to get my elbows up and try to get my points across.
Damn my Canadian politeness!
I just came home from doing The Agenda on TVOntario.
The segment was entitled “Politics 2.0,” mostly about the use of online video in the American campaign and the new Tory ads.
The video should be up on the site soon.
John Hodgman, the author of Areas of my Expertise, resident expert on the Daily Show and well-known personal computer anthropomorphizer has published my ALARMING PORTENT FROM ALBERTA
PVP very nicely sums up today in tech news:
I swear the iPhone looks like it’s from the future.
Ezra Levant wrote a column in the Calgary Sun today: Stick to reporting. In it, he accuses someone of affixing a bumper sticker to his SUV with the slogan, “I made a fortune in oil, but I spent it all on gas.” The sticker also featured, he claimed, a CBC Radio One logo.
As evidence, he put a scan of the sticker on his blog at the Western Standard.
Now, look at that image.
He claims it’s a scan of a sticker he removed from his SUV. Without a tear, a wrinkle or even a moire pattern to suggest that it was ever printed on paper.
For some reason, I doubt his story.
UPDATE: It looks like the story is true. There’s a response from the CBC regional director in the Sun’s letters this morning.
