Good idea. One less person on the Deco payroll. One more Ford at the trough (AKA "Service before self.")

No problem, Council's still going, and he hasn't submitted it. In fact, he wasn't even in the chamber as his colleagues were going through the Members Motions, Urgent and otherwise.

Doug can line up for the appointment process just like everyone else. Let him make his case to Council, and then let them vote on it. The last time they did, we got Peter Leon, which is far preferable to the proposed alternative. ETA: Losing Ward 2 would be so wonderfully appropriate given...

Surely, this too is a joke:

Pitch perfect! Congratulations to whoever put this together.

Especially since they probably buried him with it.

To their credit, the video of this on their website doesn't mention the number and features only the remarks of Joe Cressy, probably because they were mercifully brief and generally avoided the trite clichés of the last week. That said, I liked Joe Filion's the best of all because it managed to...

I'm not giving Barber a pass on his comment (although Mammoliti seems to be the only person there who heard him utter it). I am reacting to the unrestrained glee Ford takes as he gets to use it to avoid Barber's question, berate him, and ultimately chase him away. And that face! That is not...

John Filion was one of the few from the Left to speak and, unlike most of the others, managed to personally reminisce about man while acknowledging his many personal and professional flaws . . . but beyond that it was pretty much a circle jerk, with Mammo leading the pack. He actually claimed...

There's no rule about this, but the last time out the candidates were asked if they'd promise not to run. The feeling is that incumbency is an unfair advantage in an election, especially if you gained that incumbency through an appointment.

I was struck by how you never seemed to see Mikey anywhere near his mother. He was always hanging around up front with Doug. I know my mother wouldn't have let me get away with that at an important family function.

Well, they did have the entire drive home from the hospital.

Doug Ford: "I want to say a special thanks to Mayor John Tory. He’s bent over backwards for our family, he’s filled every request." Just the way he said this, made me think he was letting Ford Nation know that he'd made Tory his little bitch.

When he showed it to LeDrew, he said something to imply that it was just a little something the boys in Chicago whipped up, God bless them, as if he was touched by their thoughtfulness. It was very weak tea indeed, and LeDrew didn't even bother picking up on it (or the flag).

No. The moral of that story was Rob telling him that it wasn't a waste of his time as mayor, because he'd picked up four new supporters (and a $3.00 tip.)

Indeed! Did Doug's tribute to his brother contain a single observation or anecdote that was not about politics?

Feeding the Rob's not Dead conspiracy theory, the leader of that honour guard looks awfully familiar!

The crowd at City Hall inside and out didn't even fill the staging area to the west. They've picked up people along the route, I suppose, but there weren't many standing there watching. The November 2013 demo at NPS to force Rob to resign was way better attended. And I think there were far...

I think Renata is stoned. She's blowing kisses to the crowd, and reacting strangely to the honour guard's commands, as if she things she needs to stand up straight when he shouts at her.

So long as it's lit, as Robbie so often was.
