ICYMI this week ...

A weekly round-up of headlines from the Daily News podcast

Apr 20, 2025

I should be hiding eggs right now, but I let the kids stay up too late and I’m not sure they’re asleep yet. Or, I am sure they’re asleep but I’m not sure they won’t appear in a daze in their regular bout of sleep walking. I can’t chance it. So I’m writing this up while I hope they slip into REM so I can pretend to be a bunny.

And I’ve been wondering what Mark Carney is going to think to himself in Mass this morning. Will he imagine the body of his party replacing Jesus’ as the women roll away the stone to recover his body? The Liberals ressurection was nothing short or miraculous and surely a Catholic like Carney will notice the parallels.
