Good news, people of Toronto!  Your long civic nightmare is officially over.  You’re no longer an international joke, fit only to be laughed at and mocked due to the buffoonish antics of your mayor!  That’s right, Rob Ford is officially out as mayor of Toronto, and the nascent Ford dynasty is being brought to an end thanks to some good sense and recent elections.  John Tory will be taking over as Mayor of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  Tory won the election over the familiar-named Doug Ford, brother of Rob, and Olivia Chow, with 100 percent of the votes accounted for.

“Torontonians want to see an end to the division that has paralyzed city hall for the past four years, and to all that I say, ‘Toronto, I hear you. I hear you loud and clear,'” said Tory during his victory speech.

Tory took 40 percent of the votes, with Doug Ford acquiring 33 percent and Olivia Chow nabbing 23 percent.  With the Fords safely away from the most important seat in the city of Toronto, Canada can get back to other things like wringing its collective hands over Justin Bieber and worrying about zombie accidents on movie sets.  However, don’t count out Rob Ford just yet.  He ran for the City Council seat of Etobicoke–once held by his brother–and promises to run for mayor again in 2018.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
