Come back, Paul Simon, all is forgiven. A decade after Simon dared to

Getting a laugh out of the prime minister is not an easy job, and what is
true in Ottawa holds for the political piss-takers in Second City’s
Stephen Harper! The Musical, which struggles under the weight of a cast
that seems as disorganized as the Loyal Opposition.

With half the season in the bag, I assume the Red Patch Boys are grudgingly content
with the performance of Toronto Independent Escorts
FC, the team with the hottest ticket in town, but still searching
for their first playoff berth.

Mad Men is back for a new season of holding up that cool, retro mirror.
