You must have heard about the tape of Donald Sterling, owner of the NBA’s LA Clippers, telling his girlfriend not to be around black people. An ethical question has grown out of this scandal. Is it fair to vilify someone for what’s said in a private conversation? But I’m not concerning myself with that right now. …

My goodness. Â A councillor who’s leaving at the end of this term partly because of the immaturity and lack of productive energy among some of her colleagues, caused quite an uproar this week. Yes, all business grinds to a halt as Joni Baechler has the audacity to give her opinion!! Â It’s just another dumb waste of time on a council that seems to look for them week after week. Â And I randt. Â …

From a colleague’s complaints about having to pack to an acquaintance’s whines about missing one afternoon of sunshine out of seven, I’ve had it with vacationers who have negative stories to tell about getting away from this horrible winter. Â Please tell me you had a great time, show me photos, give me highlights but don’t you dare bitch about it! …

They mean well, they really do, but celebrities aren’t always the best ad-libbers. This week a couple that offered some hyperbole with a capital HYPER caught my attention. And so I randt. …
Brandt’s Randt – Smart People Saying Dumb Things Read More »
Before I left 680 News, legendary political reporter John Stall and I had a discussion about cynicism.  He made a very good point.  Being a cynic is a barrier to growth.  Even when it comes to the Mayor of this city where unemployment and closing companies are issues and he says what we need is a gondola ride over the Thames.
