For reference? The title is a quote. I will eat my hat if you can tell me what book it's from.
So! I have in my hands a DVD of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Sadly, not the one coming out next month. Happily, the original, scored by Sondheim and featuring Lansbury and Hearn. Free rental, good for a week. God bless the Ottawa Public Library.
Speaking of which, the OPL is looking at a 10% budget cut over the next three years, which'd mean (among other things) closing ten branches and having extant branches closed one day a week. One-page summary is here; the more detailed list of what they'd be reducing and why is on pages 251-254 of this.[1]
But yeah. Objections/commentary may be sent to Councillor Jan Harder, although this is perhaps one of those situations where it might be more effective to hit Print rather than Send, fold up the hardcopy of the e-mail, and drop it in an envelope with a stamp.

[1] "This" is the Community and Protective Services section of the 2008 Draft Budget; note that the entire section dealing with the OPL goes from page 247 to 274. It's a very nice press release, and seems entirely adequate; I just wanted to check a source with more details before I linked it, because I am detail-oriented like that. And having found said source, I offer you a link.

The one coming out next month is a musical, yes? Sweeney Todd always reminds me of that short bit from the 2nd ed. Vampire Player's Guide, discussing flavours of blood from different vessels.
