Any other time, I’d be happy for Jon Cornish. He’s a Canadian football player who’s really good at his job, is free with his money when it comes to charities, and is willing to take a stand against homophobia (especially since his mother, an Anglican priest — wonder if Malcolm French knows this – has come out of the closet).
But he and the Calgary Stampeders are playing the Roughriders tonight, and since the eastsiders got to him during a match last season … here’s The Waterboys with their testimonial to Jon Cornish.

I missed last night’s game because I am at the Joint Assembly of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada and the National Convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada … With, among others, the Revd Mary Cornish.
The Riders look Grey Cup-ready.
(yawn)
That’s Margaret Cornish. Sorry.
