Meanwhile back in the real world (London, Ontario division)

Next week (we can't say what day exactly), in a courthouse near here (we can't say where exactly), a judge (we can't say which one) will hear testimony from a person or persons (we can't say whom) involved in a high-profile crime (we can't say what) that occurred recently (we can't say when exactly).

We can't say because one or more parties to the case are trying to impose a "publication ban and sealing order," which The London Free Press, Sun Media and QMI Agency are opposing, along with other news organizations.

Not only is there an attempt to put a publication ban on the proceedings next week, there is also an attempt to put a ban on writing about the attempt to put a ban on the proceedings next week.

So, for the moment at least, we can't tell you anything, about anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Such is the transparency of the modern justice system, at least in this case.

Publication bans are often requested to protect the carriage of justice and to ensure everyone receives a fair trial. They are well-intentioned and may well be necessary, but the world is changing faster than the justice system, for better or worse.

It is almost inevitable in this case, at this particular time in history, that all the relevant information will "leak" out of the courtroom within moments of it being heard and immediately arrive unedited on the Internet, for all to see, via Twitter, Facebook or an endless number of blogs and other modes of electronic informational transport, yet we won't be able to publish it.

This is what has happened in the past.

So the only place you won't be able to learn about this is from large and respectable news organizations -- newspapers, TV, radio -- the very institutions that have been following the rules and reporting on the administration of justice in this country for more than a century, and for the most part doing it responsibly.

It's true, the courts tend to be conservative, and just because some people can get around an order doesn't necessarily mean it shouldn't be made. The courts would no doubt argue that we'll make the order now and deal with those who ignore it later.

At any rate, when our lawyers oppose the ban, they will not be arguing that anyway. They'll be arguing the parties seeking the ban must demonstrate the apparent harm done by publishing an account of the proceedings will outweigh the public's interest in knowing what is going on in our courtrooms.

But sooner or later, isn't it time we have a debate about laws that are unenforceable in a modern world?

If we do not, it makes the institutions issuing them look not just conservative, but old, archaic, out-of-touch, inflexible and increasingly irrelevant.

'On-U' Crew - Dubs from 'Be Tough' (1996)

I got a file years ago that was called Tackhead 'Boys' but I have just discovered what it actually is.

From an album released by Echo Beach in Germany in a limited edition of 3333 copies, the file only contained the dubs from the Anne Marie album. Featuring Keith LeBlanc, Skip McDonald & Doug Wimbish, the session was engineered by Andy Montgomery at On-U Sound HQ.

Take a look at Wayne Roo-knee

IT'S one thing seeing the face of Jesus in a frying pan – but a football worshipper from Horbury got the shock of his life when his hero Wayne Rooney appeared on his knee.

Joiner Rich Rigby, of Green Lane, hurt his leg when he came off his motorbike while off-roading near his home.

Thankfully, the dad-of-two escaped the accident with just a hurt knee, which swelled to an unusual shape due to titanium plates he had in his leg following a football injury in 2001.

It was only when he hobbled to the pub, that friends started saying they could see the face of his favourite footballer Wayne Rooney.

The 31-year-old Manchester United fan said: "I was having a drink with friends and when I showed them my knee we realised it looked like Rooney, so our lass took a photo.

"Everyone was laughing about it. It beggared belief – he is a legend and I never thought he would appear on my knee.

"All his facial features were there, you could see his small ears, nose and he even had a beard like the real Rooney."

Rich's fiancee Stacey Jones, 25, who works in catering for schools, and kids Connor, seven, and Mason, five, were bemused by the bizarre swelling which only lasted a day.

Mr Rigby said he hoped the bizarre swelling was a sign that Manchester United would win the Premier League and that Rooney would have a cracking World Cup for England.

He added: "I hoped it might make me play better too but it hasn't. I don't play competitively, but I do like to have a kick around with the kids.
"I don't mind an injury to my knee, as long as Rooney doesn't get injured we should be okay."

How YouGov made Cameron win the poll

Yougov say their internet poll on the debate last night was conducted between 9.27pm and 9.31pm.

This may explain why Yougov gave David Cameron a better rating than the other post-debate polls did last night. For Nick Clegg ended the debate with a very powerful closing speech, probably the best of the evening.

According to the BBC video system Clegg didn't start speaking until 9:29:18 and finished at 9:30:47‬‪.

So many of those polled by Yougov last night must have voted without seeing his final speech.

In all honesty what can you say?

God speaks directly to Glenn Beck

During yesterday's Glenn Beck radio show, Beck delivered a 10-minute monologue in which he hit all of his phony-baloney touchstones -- some of them, as I've been writing for the last several weeks, are dangerous and some are simply ridiculous. But primarily, Beck was in full televangelist mode about God and something about a "plan" and, in the process, he dovetailed into a little McCarthyism and, as usual, a little historical revisionism. He even shrunk into a defensive bit refuting the accusations that he's a faker who's conning his audience.

Now, before you listen to this epic clip courtesy of Media Matters, I should warn you to turn down your speakers, because the over-the-top levels of audio compression and EQ on Beck's voice (say nothing of the half-dozen or so Beck sound-alikes who also occupy his studio) will absolutely blow out your speakers.

Most radio stations employ some sort of digital processing to make the host or disc jockey sound more resonant, but I've never heard a talk show with this much compression. Clearly, the BOOM! is there to enhance Beck's voice in a way that augments his level of psychological persuasion -- the deeper, diaphragm-vibrating low end increases the physical connection between Beck and his audience. A more subconscious aspect of his scam.

The overarching theme of this monologue is that God is speaking directly to Glenn Beck and giving him the plan. It's classic televangelism, which is commonly seen as nothing more than an exploitation of religious naiveté with the goal of making the televangelist rich. Listen to me. I have the answers. Because God is speaking to me. So give generously if you want to hear what God's plan is...
