    I don't care if he was an ass in school. He good and fucked up the Monkey Bar, which was my go-to quiet, fancy bar to get my drink on at 3:00 p.m. Pompous, smug, rotund, self-hating (WHO does not like Canadians!) usurper of favored old-school watering holes, I curse your name!

    His father was a Royal Canadian Air Force pilot in the 50s and 60s? He may have lived in a huge house on the hill somewhere near Eastbourne Ave, but as an Air Force brat myself, I can tell you right now; there's no way Graydon Carter's upbringing would have been wealthy. #graydoncarter

    @Xylo: Not expensive, but you know how class-conscious Canucks are. We're like the Brits, only without the vast class-dependent variety of accents. He still would have been crossing a divide.

    When I grew up on bases, there was still a movement to have one figure-skating class for the kids of officers and a separate one at the same level for kids of sergeants and corporals. And I'm younger than Carter. #graydoncarter

    @raincoaster: Well, I know how class-conscious life on an air base can be. My dad ended his career as a non-commissioned Master Warrant Officer, so my family was squarely on the middle rung of that class crap. But it doesn't sound like Carter's friend was in the RCAF, so I was just questioning his description of his life of "poverty" compared to Carter; sounds like they were both from the same neighbourhood, relatively speaking. #graydoncarter

    He looks more and more like Dame Edna Everage every day.

    Don't know how to post images, but here's a link. The resemblance is striking.

    He was asked by a Canadian journalist once why he had renounced his Canadian citizenship upon becoming an American (many people just keep both passports, although I'm not sure if that's totally legal), and he said it's because Canadians are so boring. He said they always look like they're not having any fun, like the people who sit in the non-smoking section of a restaurant.... of course all restaurants in most of the "western world" are non-smoking now so I don't know what that says about modern society. As a Canadian, I'd say we do have fun, you just have to get us behind closed doors. #graydoncarter

    @raincoaster: This is true. I have a Canadian uncle and an American Aunt- all their kids were born here, but they moved to the states about a decade ago. The kids are still considered to have dual citizenship, but they can only carry an American passport. #graydoncarter

    Yes, the "Canadian rag" was indeed The Canadian Review. I'll always have a place in my heart for Carter for coining "short-fingered vulgarian" as Donald Trump's Spy handle. Unless it was Kurt Andersen, in which case, screw him. #graydoncarter

    Graydon is no dummy. The self-deprecation persuades the gods that exploding his gargantuan head, though seemingly easy, would make a horrific mess. #graydoncarter

    "Graydon always had a smile - no, a sneer - no, a smirk - no, a self-satisfied look on his face."

    The phrase he is looking for is "queef face."

    I have dreams of running into Graydon Carter on the streets of Manhattan, magically levitating over him, and petting his hair. I'm not even joking. #graydoncarter

    You've managed, btw, to hit on the ONE person who lives in Vancouver whom I do not know. Maybe Hez can help? But at this point, she won't help for free. #graydoncarter

    Come on: apparent humility, underpinned by vast egotism is, in fact, the Canadian Way.

    We aren't Ned Flanders. We are much more Conrad Black in a Ned Flanders mask. #graydoncarter
