THE POWER OF THE WHINE

If we didn't already have confirmation of the power of The Hairy Edge, there is even more proof. Earlier this week I wrote another post bemoaning the fact that the government Ontario failed to give in to reason and popularity, and sanction professional MMA fighting.

Well apparently, Premiere Dalton McGinty is a fan of this blog. Because it was announced yesterday that this province will soon me hosting mma fights, including the UFC. Many reporters seemed baffled by this sudden turn of events and wondered what was the impetus for the government's sudden about face on this issue. Not only did McGinty change his mind, the watchdogs could not understand what mysterious, pervasive force held such sway over the powers that be

Well, we all know the answer don't we.

Could it be this blog's incisive, thoughtful, persuasive insight that finally battered down the doors of resistance?

Or could it just be the power of the whine?

I'll let history write the answer

Now the question is: With this issue put to bed, whatever will I whine about? Oh I think that is a rather a moot point don't you. I can always find something to whine about, even it it's just that I have nothing to whine about

Pass the cheese and hang on

THE POWER OF THE HAIRY EDGE

In the words of Gene Simmons, I am a handsome and powerful man. No, I haven't been into the tequila. But it seems my influence and the influence of this blog is ever more powerful than I could have ever imagined.

Ahem.

A few posts ago, I blogged about the City of Toronto's plan to rip up University Avenue and put in bike lanes that were sure to create traffic chaos for a very specious "green" solution. Well, what do you know. The city has now taken that plan off the table. They saw the futility of the scheme.

I do expect and official thank you and and invitation to City Hall. I'm sure it's in the mail. No, really, I'm sure it is.

OK, take that smirk off your face. Stop laughing. And for god's sake, put down that double Bavarian creme chocolate fudge donut. I have more proof of the potency of this blog.

In a more recent post, I wrote about the horrible situation at the Newmarket OSPCA where hundreds of animals were to be put down due to an outbreak of ringworm. Well, thanks to me, a lot of these animals will be saved.

Yes, me, all me. I'm sure the passionate protests aired on national TV had nothing to do with the change of heart.

Ahem.

So now that I have scientific proof of my incredible power of influence, what is my next mission? What new injustice shall I correct?

I'm not really sure. I'm kind of distracted by that damn donut ...
