Four In The Afternoon: Fortified With Spider-Man

4 in the Afternoon1 THE OLYMPICS, WOO! OR WHATEVS The Guardian is live-blogging stuff.

2 THE COUNTRY WE LIVE IN The premiers are peeved that the feds are cutting $36 billion from health care spending,  a former aide to Stephen Harper has been charged with influence peddling and British Columbia’s premier wants a bigger piece of the Enbridge pipeline pie.

3 THAT’S A LONG WAY TO TRAVEL TO BE UNEMPLOYED Immigrant Irish pipefitters aren’t happy they were laid off by Monad Industrial. The workers signed contracts to work on a mine expansion but were laid off with no guarantees of work after the project was delayed. Looks like they might have jobs in Alberta, though. Pending proper documentation.

4 CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY A former United Nations observer says the situation in Syria is really, really bad and the Assad government is going to fall. That regime’s always been terrible. I hope the country finds peace soon.

LET’S HAVE A VIDEO Spider-Man! On a trampoline with a happy kid! And yeah, it’s probably worth watching to the end. (Via Videogum)

About Stephen Whitworth

Stephen Whitworth is a life-long fan of newspapers and alternative media who got his start in the student press a hundred years ago. He moved to Regina in the fall of 1998 and Prairie Dog recklessly hired him nine months later. It was a terrible mistake and the publication deeply regrets its inability to get rid of him. When Whitworth’s not adding typos to the hard work of Prairie Dog’s many terrific writers, writing hilarious (to him) headlines and finding inventive new ways to make the paper late for its bi-weekly press deadline, he enjoys reading magazines, newspapers and alternative comics, listening to music, playing board games, and drinking and eating. He has a cat and seven pet snakes.
