I still say his hard-on for defunding the CBC goes all the way back to The Mercer Report.
I had people challenge me on that belief awhile back, saying that nobody could hold a grudge that long. And yet we find out today that one producer stopped Babylon 5 in its tracks for 20 fucking years. So yes, Internet, people in power can hold a grudge as long as they goddamn please.

Okay, Thunderbird is Rush. No wonder it's so great. See? This is why we have the internet.
