Yaaaay! "Busty Hookers" - it's like I've finally filled my bingo card.

I loved that line when it came out. There's always the gastric bypass, but he'd have to get a good deal healthier on off the booze and drugs for a while else the risk of surgery and general anethstetic would be unacceptable. Loaded or not, Rob Ford is cheap. And gets his back up if he's...

This remark reminds me of that episode in West Wing where the President's secretary, Mrs. Laningham, paid full sticker price for a new car because she felt if she haggled and received a discount or some freebie accessories, she would be in violation of the government "receipt of gifts over $50"...

Peepers, I see you chose not to engage or reply to blearghhh's post, which, to my eyes, neatly obliterates the aforementioned talking points. Has blearghhh made some factual error that I, an outsider, can't see? Could you point them out if so, please? If not, this is a great example of a...

Please, allow me this time:

You know, it's the old "can't read inflection over the internet" problem. I personally think "she looks like a man" can be taken 3 ways: 1. A neutral observation; (she has a somewhat masculine and upright bearing.) 2. A criticism or dismissal; (she's not feminine enough, she's ugly) 3. An...

For months, following this saga, I've been reminded of a certain Watergate cartoon from 1974, and I finally dug it up:

well amphetamines are supposed to suppress appetite and I've got a good 50 lbs on Ford, all fat, am 6 feet tall, and have been at double or triple the recommended daily maximum dose for various ADHD drugs (vyvanse+dex at the moment) and in three years I've lost only 25 lbs. 6% of my weight...

I'm good for several thousand just this last month. Must ... Put ... Down ... iPad ... And ... Return ... To ... Work.

how could they not? This thread is like a tip line for journalists who don't have sources of their own. Of course, like any tip line, it has it's share of out in left field nutters, but it's been surprisingly on the mark a good percentage of the time.

I may be a cockeyed optimist, but I'd like to think Fords 2010 win was a "perfect storm" of issues that propelled him into office. I agree that his support does appear to rebounding from within his die hard base, but I'd like to think that without the moderate voters, he doesn't have a chance...

sorry, no. Life expectancy in many early cultures skewed low because childhood mortality was so high. In the Roman era, once you had reached the age of 10, you had a further life expectancy of 35 - 45 years, and even that skewed young because of the percentage of the population living in abject...

I actually do hope Joe is doing it for kicks or just as a means of irritating/trolling others - I'd be disappointed and a little worried if he actually believes his easily-disproven bs. It's funny, I've sort of been "mentally charting" his reasonableness (in the form of honest/dishonest...

um, yeah, he called a general election ... almost three years later.

interesting thought, though I'm not sure if the comparison is apt. Prorogation as a means to avoid a scheduled non-confidence vote was, and is, unheard of in practice. Leadership changes between elections are, on the other hand, quite common. And frankly I do agree that a leader who has not...

I'm legitimately curious, is the difference between changing after one year and changing after two years that significant? Does that extra year somehow magically garner a legitimate mandate vs an "unelected" leader? I can't see how one is legitimate and the other not, especially when both are...

Fido is now selling a wireless home phone. Set it up where you have a good signal, plug it into your unused phone jack, and presto, phone service throughout your home. Don't forget, he'll eat your cat!! Don't forget that in many jurisdictions you cannot poll cell phone numbers with automated...

Yup, even some VOIP systems support it (like Shaw Home Phone). I have a few of them, but my baby is an Automatic Electric Type 47 Two Line Monophone.

Can't ... breathe ... must ... have ... telephony ... infrastructure! (I'm addicted to telephone equipment. Have my own PBX at home. As a kid, my Christmas list always included a toy telephone switchboard, but, alas, my parents could new find one)

if you look at the respondents' prior voting record, it makes this even more clear: It boggles the mind that about 44% of the sample would actually admit to voting for Ford in the last election. Leads me to suspect, based on the actual 2010 vote that the sampling is certainly skewing...
