AKA, which came first, the chicken or the egg?

I voted for Pants as well, although I can't say I was in love with him. But I already hated Ford in 2010, and Smitherman seemed very slimy.

No, it sounded "off" to me because I understood it, despite not speaking German. That's what I meant by it sounding like Benny Hill's German.

Is that headline for real? Torontos Skandalbürgermeister mit Tumor in Klinik It sounds like the "German" Benny Hill used to speak on his old show.

I saw Thomson a couple of days ago walking along Dupont Street, near Christie. She asked me if I had a moment to talk and I said sorry, I didn't, I was in a rush (I was). She smirked and said, "Oh, really?" What an odd duck.

The Dale article is funny, and boils down to "look how swell it is to have a mayor who can walk and chew gum at the same time."

Indeed. Remember how Ford wanted to fire that city employee who was photographed with his head on his desk (photographed by Mammo, of course)? Ford wanted to fire that guy's manager, too. Two jobs lost over that horrible transgression. Meanwhile Ford, after all the crap he's pulled, is still...

I agree with John Dee. And I'll add that when it comes to Rob Ford and "media," what should be remembered is that Ford has never intentionally done anything interesting, and especially without the aid of booze/drugs. There's no point in hiring him for any sort of talk show/reality show...

Dougie's just nuts: http://www.640toronto.com/2014/06/13/oakley-doug-ford-says-hes-considering-replacing-hudak/

It was the CBC who interviewed Holyday. Here's a link (go to the 3:15:30 mark): http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-votes-2014/ontario-election-2014-replay-cbc-s-election-night-coverage-1.2673664 You can see he wanted to blame "union thugs" but somehow managed to restrain...

For the bingo card: _______ is a friend of the family Poor as a church mouse Ridiculous/pathetic/unbelievable Bunch of maggots Hand in the cookie jar Looking out for the little guy I cannot comment on a matter that's before the courts

I love this part of the Dale article: So, the security guards are afraid of the Mayor.

Nice tidbit from the NP article: Randy's mellowing with age. An envelope with his footprint on it is a long way from kidnapping!

Bad news, if true. This forum losing JimmiT is like the Doors losing Jim Morrison.

The Daily Mail also has this pic, which for my money is the best Ford photo ever: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/05/23/article-2637601-1E26503D00000578-276_634x417.jpg An E.B. White classic: Templeton the Rat tickling Wilbur the Pig!

Careful with that past tense: "I'm an athlete." Actual Rob Ford quote (April 10, 2014).

If Dougie's telling the truth about Rob not answering -- big if there -- then my guess is Rob's looking at his call display and saying, "Fuck it, he's just going to shout at me anyways."

Yeah, in terms of red flags that point to the exact opposite of what you're saying, "I try not to be a nosy neighbour" is right up there with "I'm not a racist, but..."

I remember thinking at the time, "Well, this is as bad as it gets for Toronto, mayor-wise. We'll never again see a clown as bad as Lastman running this city." How naive I was!

Dougie's playing the "what happened in the past is the past" gambit. I mean, what kind of nitpicker wants to hold folks accountable for stuff they did in the past, right?
