Biden needs to pull an LBJ.
Go before the cameras and say, 'I shall not seek nor will I accept the nomination...'
He has wrecked his presidency with his blind support for Netanyahu.
Get out of the way and let Buttigieg battle Trump.

Jack Todd This is exactly Juan Cole's take. A vital read from a tenured US history prof:

I've seen this movie before. I was very much a part of the campus unrest in 1968 in response to the illegal, immoral and murderous Vietnam War.
We wouldn't accept Hubert Humphrey so we elected Nixon and got 4 more years of war and Watergate.

I have zero sympathy for either Hamas or the Netanyahu government engaged in pounding Gaza to dust.
What I do have is a great fear that the campus collisions in the US are going to elect Trump and end the American democracy.

If Pierre Poilievre doesn't want to be portrayed as an authoritarian leader, maybe he should stop talking like one thestar.com/politics/if-pi… via @torontostar

I spent the month of March in BC with my oldest, dearest friend, John Xiros Cooper, who was dying of cancer.
This is the obituary I wrote. PLEASE don't send condolences. That's not what I want. I want only to celebrate what he was.

This was a classic and it remains a classic.

In the old NHL,--one ref, no replay-- both TBL goals are up on the board and we're enjoying the 5th OT this morning.

Each side with only 14 skaters, in wake of line brawl at start of 2nd OT.

Jack Todd Years ago at Jarry Park, members of Big Red Machine were hitting HRs in batting practice. Rose and Bench would shout, 'what time is it?', meaning HRs only mattered in games, not BP. Reminds me of players like Matthews.

Less than 3 months out from the Paris Games but if you peek at the TSN & Sportsnet websites, you won't find a word.
Only one network supports our Olympic athletes: the CBC. Sponsorship depends on it, yet they'd starve if they depended on private networks.

The comparisons aren't a perfect match but the Leafs wasting money on Tavares would be comparable to the Habs going all in on Pierre-Luc Dubois. Local guy, supposed to be a star, doesn't have it when it matters.
A move like that cripples you for years.

Leaf fans always miss the fact that the entire problem starts with Auston Matthews. He's supposed to be the big dog who leads at playoff time but that's the time he becomes just another so-so-forward, never a leader.

I thought of this African adage, while reading posts by the clownvoys and rage farmers clapping for their dear leader, Poilievre

1/ I am so tired of him.

I am tired of his face. I am tired of his style of speech. I am so tired of his lies. I am tired of his bluster, his narcissism. I am tired of his fraud and his crimes. I am tired of the relentless news coverage and the danger he poses to democracy.

I…

Pierre Poilievre is a menace to democracy in Canada and TRUDEAU has to think about his future?
Sometimes it's an embarrassment to work in the media in this country.

My column on the death of Bob Cole and the absence of legends to fill his shoes in today's corporate broadcast world.
