It's interesting to compare this to Canada's equivalent Toronto imbroglio with its own scandal-ridden, embattled Mayor, Rob Ford (although he's aligned to Canada's Conservative Party)...

Malignant past and present figures who may shuffle off this mortal coil in the not too distant future...
Pat Robertson, past US televangelist and Republican presidential aspirant- 83
Ian Paisley, former Northern Ireland First Minister and fundamentalist
Protestant agitator- 87Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI- 86
Fred Nile, fundamentalist homophobe and NSW Legislative Councillor- 79
George H.Bush- former Republican US President- 89
Lord Norman Tebbit, Thatcher era relic- 82
John Howard, former Australian Prime Minister- 74 [sadly, this is a long-term prospect]
Fortunately, none of the great and good from the past seems to be in this category- apart from
Anglican Archbishop Emeritus of Capetown Desmond Tutu- 82

And what about the severity of the accidents in which stoned drivers are involved? Are we talking injury? If so, what kind? Were there any fatalities? How do long-time jurisdictions take care of prevention education in this context?
-
Fascinating. So, can we find out more about this stoned driving legislative reform in the States? And is there any uniform measure of intoxication that can be cited in this context? How do they tackle it in other jurisdictions where cannabis has been decriminalised? What about other health and safety issues?

Graeme, how much cost to the :) consumer and taxpayer :) is there in this litigation?

I still miss Brunswick from the nineties and early noughties...(sigh)...

Hard News: Bring on the Revival, in reply to Geoff Lealand,
Most comics are of a far higher literary standard than the 'average' (sic) issue of Investigrunt, though, Geoff. And far more readable!

Meanwhile, on the drek side of the Web, Investigrunt and Ian Wishart are bleating that they may have to go completely online*. They style themselves as a 'successful' magazine. I'd love to know how, as they never seem to release details about little things like (i) their ownership (ii) chief shareholders (iii) or even independently verifiable circulation figures...
*Excellent. Now I won't lose my lunch whenever I involuntarily encounter "it" in my local library.
