I hope I'm not the only one to find the exploitation of Ben Johnson terribly sad. My initial reaction was to laugh at the obvious absurdity of yet another day at the Ford Family City Hall Circus, but then to think of this poor, naive man, clearly of very limited intellect and judgment, being...

Thirded. Much too teenaged.

Hopefully someone will have a more specific recollection than mine, but I certainly seem to recall an allusion to exactly this-- a judge with, I think, drug involvement-- coming up in the discussion many months ago. Very, very interesting.

The latest developments in the Ford saga are pretty damn disheartening. Let's just say that I'll never sanction political violence, but I'd be perfectly happy to see this amoral shitstain's own way of life catch up with him. I'll gladly accept a heart attack, OD, or drunkenly driving his...

I just finished writing the liner notes for a Ford-themed record due to be released in a couple weeks, and while we all know how damaged and corrupt this mayor has been, just sitting down and cataloguing his various misdeeds and controversies is something else. It truly is astonishing that one...

The handjob story just won't go away, will it? Whether it involves another man or a working woman, it might be embarrassing for the mayor, but it would hardly be characterised as "heinous" by an intelligent adult, which suggests, well...what it suggests. Beyond the pale if true, but for now I...

It's most certainly not a "neo con" argument. Nothing personal, but people need to stop throwing around buzzwords without knowing what they actually mean. In the case of "neo con," it's usually nearly the opposite.

Just for the record, this stuff was all covered in depth and at length on this thread at the time.

In the case of The Specials, it's almost certainly Prince Buster's rocksteady version they were inspired by. Bringing this back to Ford, I guess he must now be realising just how late it is, and his version of enjoying himself has a lot to do with that. Too bad he can't begin to control his...

On thy other hand, Henry did procureth and feed unto his knights the Twinkies.

Doug has always assured us that Rob's a Huge Social Liberal, but who ever suspected he'd end up so far left that he was out of the frame?

Given this fellow's conspicuously casual relationships with basic grammar, logical thinking and his own importance, I'm going to have to go with the "confused" option.

It's not a crack HOUSE show, it's a crack HOME show!

Absolutely. I replied before reading all the other replies, so apologies for the derailment.

Our gang culture? Somalia is still a pre-modern tribal society-- gangs as government, in short-- with absolutely horrible attitudes toward gender equality, homosexuality and free thinkers consituting those "traditional values". I'm all in favour of welcoming and supporting Somali new Canadians...

I don't think they know specifics, but I do believe that they have enough inside contact to gauge the relative likelihood of important developments (ie cops are building a good case and morale is high, arrest may be imminent vs no evidence sticking, morale is low and case falling apart) and plan...

Pure speculation here, but if Chow was indeed planning to file in the second half of March, could the increased possibility of an arrest before that be precisely why that information has been leaked now?

A delayed aside, but I didn't really know who Jimmy Kimmel was a week ago. The idea that a safe, prosperous city of Toronto's size, cultural influence and economic power should be concerned with its image as reflected by an American talk show is absurd to me, and says an awful lot about the Ford...

My god, it really is a plague!

Beautiful. Along with the earlier "patheTTC" bit, a much appreciated dose of wit in an increasingly depressing story.
