Morning Brew: October 7th, 2008

I'd get wrongly tasered and punched in the face for $9 mil. Cha-ching.

Busses: Cheap or clean. Pick one.

Sean: Looks like the TTC managed to avoid your little riddle by choosing neither!

first they cut brake lines and now they're out kneecapping people? boy, those Tory supporters don't joke around.

The family doesn't appear to be denying that George may have attacked the police officers. I mean, how could they? They were all outside. But they do claim he kept repeating 'I'm a good boy' while being tasered and how exactly do they know this?

I'd be surprised if many Tory supporters know where a brake line is.

@ Ryan L: everyone who engages in Taser play knows that "I'm a good boy" is the safe word.

Couple comments... first, obviously mental disorder - particularly brain injury - are a factor in homelessness. This is neither new nor shocking information, and you can actually track the increase in homeless relative to the decrease in mental health spending... sad.

Also, although I miss breakfast almost everyday, they have done amazing studies on how improved morning nutriotion impacts a child's performance and behaviour in the classroom. Some 'behaviourally challenged' schools are adopting breakfast programs with great success in lowering violence/incidents.

Maybe my lack of cheerios explains my behaviour growing up.

It's sad that trying to fix the eating habits of kids is thought of as unconventional. They don't have that 'you are what you eat' phrase for shits and giggles, it's actually true!

Ever seen a kid who lives off of junk food? Or maybe one who eats the same dinner every night cause they're 'picky eaters'. Or even a colleague at work who lives off of coffee and forgets to eat because they're 'too busy'. Yeah, they're all nuts.

Can we please buy busses where people over 5 feet tall can fit in the seats? Is that too much to ask?
Heightism at its finest.
