Big congrats, and thanks, to all those involved with T.O. is on Fire. Great job!

Tidbit in the Star about the lie-detecting incident: http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/02/03/5_things_you_didnt_know_about_rob_fords_family_revelations_from_the_book_crazy_town.html

I actually took my calculator out, and even gave Rob the benefit of the doubt and assumed he worked weekends. That still came to 356 calls a day. Aside from burping and farting, I don't believe there's anything Rob Ford can do 356 times in one day.

I watched a TV segment on Ford a few months ago (I think it was The Fifth Estate) and they had some old footage of Ford Sr. on it. He reminded me very much of the Big Lebowski character -- not the Dude, but "Mr." Lebowski, the rich old bastard always going on and on about his achievements...

Also, assuming Price is about the same age as Dougie (born 1964), it's unlikely his mother would have been born in 1918.

I live downtown. I think of the three people I've ever encountered who said anything supportive about Ford, two were cab drivers. One of them went on and on in a hilariously earnest way about how "democratic" Ford was going on the radio and letting people -- LITERALLY ANYONE WHO WANTED! --...

Beat me to it. And this guy's 'rents [sic] were journalists. Mommy/Daddy issues, I guess.

Vancouver Sun writer disagrees with you. http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Toronto+Mayor+Ford+ticketed+jaywalking+Metro+Vancouver/9456875/story.html Not sure what difference it makes, anyway. It would be illegal regardless of how much traffic there was.

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/02/01/rob_fords_wife_sought_help_for_mayors_drug_addiction_book_reveals.html Wow, this could be the time Ford finally sues someone! Just kidding.

I posted the same in thing in this thread maybe two months ago. I can't watch Nunziata for one second without thinking of Andrea Martin doing one of her dopey/clueless characters from SCTV.

Ford went so he could give the "elites" who uninvited him one of these looks:

You're responding to the first post in this thread, from Sept. 2010, and you can't be any more precise in your prediction of what Toronto will look like in four years? How about Mayor Ford -- do you maybe see anything newsworthy happening to him personally?

Ha, thanks. I figured the guy was a lunatic, but I couldn't put my finger on what point he was trying to make. I suppose "Jack Layton got a hand job in a massage parlour 18 years ago" isn't the dumbest defense of Rob Ford I've ever heard -- but it's right up there.

Here's a bit more on the abuse from Jan Wong (the whole article's worth reading if you want to click the link): http://thechronicleherald.ca/opinion/1169969-wong-my-addition-to-the-story-of-rob-ford

From CNN's transcript of their Ford interview: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1311/18/nday.05.html

I think it's pretty clear by now that the G+M story on Dougie's drug dealing past was accurate. This Dougie quote cracked me up: http://globalnews.ca/news/975434/councillor-doug-ford-questioned-about-drugs-his-past-on-cnns-anderson-cooper-360/ Shades of the Dude from Big Lebowski: "Yeah, if...

And it's true, there's a bit of Ricky in the parody. I was into TPB for a while some years ago, and Ford often makes me think of what a "Mayor Ricky of Toronto" would be like.

Thanks again, guys. I'm taking a break until Monday with Bumbaclot, so don't look for any new stuff until then. I need to cleanse the palate.

You have to be a straight up lunatic to think Gawker, the Star and Chief Blair are all in cahoots on a video that doesn't exist. These people somehow think poor Robbie was tricked into believing it exists, too -- tricked so completely that he told staff he knew where it was, tried to buy it...

Yeah, I thanked him for his support (unless there's another guy I missed). I try to always thank the dumbest ones for their support. And I get a lot of my material from HERE, of course. Including the wonderful avatar, which was posted in this thread a few days ago.
