On behalf of all Montreal transit users, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the two people who have selflessly attempted to give their lives this week in an attempt to extend the metro's hours of operation.

I beg you, however, to reconsider. However awful service has been of late, however much it has made all of us despair, your lives are worth too much to throw away over limited hours and packed buses! Help isn't far away -- please find it before it's too late!

Thank you.

I'm just doin' nothing but bitch today. In that vein, thank you, THANK YOU, Formula One, for deigning to accept $12 million of my and my fellow taxpayers' dollars to come back next year and pollute the city with noise, fumes, and Eurotrash, but without tobacco advertising.

Personally (sorry mindrobber) I'd've been just as happy if they'd stayed away.

Hey government -- I've gotten rid of ALL my tobacco sponsorship. This journal is now 100% self-supporting. Can I have $12 million, please?

OK, I've cheered up.
