Front page photo of all three national newspapers, January 6, 2005

This is the front page photo for all three national newspapers, National Post, Globe and Mail and Toronto Star, on January 6, 2006. It was taken by Chris McGrath, Getty Images, for a tsunami memorial.

Visiting Getty Images web site in early January, I found that there were at least 16 photos taken by the same photographer for that event. What's the chance of picking the same one by all three newspapers without their talking among themselves?

More.

Don Martin: "The economies of, ahem, scale saved taxpayers $200, 000 per year in operating expenses ..."

William Watson:"The Swiss Navy used to be a joke, as oxymoronic as, say, Saskatchewan becoming a maritime province. Well, you can stop laughing." (Opening paragraph - to make sure I saw it.)

Comment page cartoon, Globe and Mail, January 17, 2005

The cartoonist, Anthony Jenkins, normally does not draw a multi-frame cartoon. It looks like he tried pretty hard to incorporate a hole into this cartoon.

Point: Globe interacted with my blogs, here and here.

Comment page cartoon, Globe and Mail, January 15, 2005

Reading this cartoon, I suspected that Globe and Mail knew about my Internet activities from whoever monitored them.

I was naturally upset and called them a "hole". On the next newspaper, the same cartoonist drew a hole.
