Merda tauri

The Telegram Monday is all jeers, with high-larious consequences:
Well, since Kennedy has appointed himself the Facebook Police, maybe he could investigate another piece of interesting social media, this one a status line from the former provincial representative in Ottawa, Dr. John FitzGerald. FitzGerald now works in a senior role with the province's Executive Council. Mere hours after a story ran in The Telegram about the Ottawa office, FitzGerald's Facebook status read that he "thinks it were good that he is not king, for Heads Would Roll. Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis et miseriae, dies magna et amara valde ..." (For those not of the Latin persuasion, that's "That day, that day of wrath, calamity and misery, that terrible and exceedingly bitter day." Oh, and it's from Faure's "Requiem," if you're wondering about the provenance.) We're not sure which "king" he was referring to (or whose heads) but we're hoping his "king" is more Martin Luther than Henry VIII.
