Who says I only dump on commenters?

 

I like to dump on commenters who gripe underneath the stories we post.

Much of the time, they are uninformed, needlessly angry and apt to fall on each other like a pack of crazed schoolyard bullies after about the second go-round.

Besides, they once compared me to Forrest Gump.

Let it not be said, however, that I do nothing but dump on online commenters.

Dnem Duraka... Pravda!

Not that anyone was fooled, but journalistic integrity demands I disclose that yesterday's entry on a secret meeting at the Brockville Arts Centre between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was the continuation of a Brockville tradition.

That would be the Lirpa Loof tradition.

For the record, "Den Duraka" is Russian for "Day of the Idiot," the Russian version of April Fool's Day.

OK, Brockville, take a breath. Deep, and through the nose. Before you sink us back to 165th.

There is still plenty of ground to cover before the Ontario Provincial Police's current exercise in billing reform arrives at its final result.
