CTV Up In Smoke


I'm betting it was a grease fire or maybe a spark in the storeroom where the make-up artists store Lloyd Robertson's supply of mortician's wax but, either way, a fire last night gutted CTV's Ottawa newsroom. Gone forever is the network's collection of commemorative Mike Duffy pizza boxes.

The Conservative Television Network bureau will stay in business, initiating an emergency plan to relocate to the ByWard Market. However prime minister Stephen Harper surprised nobody when he contacted network officials suggesting that CTV cut out the middle man and move its correspondents straight into the PMO.

Here we go again...."a spark in the storeroom where the make-up artists store Lloyd Robertson's supply of mortician's wax but," You don't seem to like older people. How are you now... 65?

"Here we go again" Go where exactly dearheart? This joker had a marginal intellect at best 20-years ago. He's an embarrassment to those of his vintage today. If you find in him a parallel to yourself, my sincere sympathies. I don't. You predictably fail to note that I have a great deal of time for genuine intellect, regardless of chronology. There are very bright, insightful, entertaining and illuminating seniors. On the other hand there are those like Lloyd. If you get to that age and you've still got it - by all means stay and contribute. If you're dead from the neck up - go where we provide for that sort.

If you can't grasp that distinction, move along.
