I don't usually get caught up in the bashing of various news sources. The Toronto Star gets its share of grief from folks with a variety of levels with incoherent thought - leaving the brighter stuttering when they see the error of their ways. But this column/article/piece, for me, is worth a bit …

I don't particularly care for commenting on other bloggers, especially the self-promoting, in large part because much of what is written is so poorly thought out but this passage by Mr. Levant in his one-man ideological battle with the community is so awful in its revision of history that it is …
