Okay, thanks. Guess he did make it down the street, even with the gathering crowd and in his unbalanced condition. I'd still like to point on that he was unprofessional in not being there for the organizers and in failing to work with his own staff. I'd also like to point out that he was in his drunken condition before he ever reached the festival, that in fact he was in that condition when he was first spotted 20 feet from his vehicle. So it's unlikely a case of him just having a good average guy time with the regular folk on the street. But looks like my contention that this isn't the case because he was never there is wrong.

A friend of a friend was in the restaurant where Mayor Ford was eating. He asked her if she could tell him "where the Danforth is?". She was visiting from another country and therefore confused on many levels when it was revealed to her that that was the Mayor of Toronto. I can happily report that while mutual feelings of confusion were felt, neither the Mayor nor the woman in question felt sexually harassed by the encounter.

Not really, not when it has been brought up and explained in this thread.
Just because the Fords, their cronies, and cult keep repeating it even though it has been refuted with facts, like the claim of a "billion" dollars in reductions to the budget, well...
Just saying... if it looks like a clown, it sounds like a parrot, and wattles like a drunk...
Sounds like an SCTV skit.

I think the part of the equation you're missing is that Forgotten's posts are a satirical distillation of Ford Nation talking points. Yes, they're full of lies and non-sequiturs, but they must be so in order to be true to the genuine article. The fact that people go apesh!t every time Forgotten posts is a testament to his/her finely honed skills.

we need something like this here...
"There is now a recall effort underway to try and obtain 100,000 signatures in order to force Filner's mayorship to be put up to a new vote."

I don't know if this is sad or accidentally brilliant but everyone is talking about how wasted the idiot was rather than his weird, suspicious jail visit to a childhood friend that just happened to occur prior to the people he was photographed with in front of a crack house occupied by his childhood friend getting shot, followed by the crack video story.
And not a lot of discussion about the court transcripts accounting how the boyfriend of his drugg-addled sister barged into his home and demanded money robbie owed him.
Can any robbie fan please tell me how they manage to hand-wave away the fact -- fact -- that he hangs out with a lot of people connected to drugs?
As for this discussion about whether robbie boosters are stupid? Spend five minutes on the sun comment boards.

Some of MM's info. didn't pan out, things happened/things changed - lots of moving pieces have been in action this year and he made assumptions along with on some of the info. that he passed onto us, such as Rob Ford being lead out in handcuffs. As I recall it, he didn't say it would happen but suggested it could happen. Much more of MM's tips about what was going to go down all the way back to last winter came to pass. Me, I'm strongly in MM's camp and I think he should be thanked for all the information that he took the time to share here with us, not denigrated. Too bad most of his sources have dried up now.
Subways, subways, subways! You really don't have a clue if you really think the BD line is going further into Scarborough. As for the rest of your post, well it's such nonsense it makes me wish that people had to take an IQ test before being allowed to vote.
By the way, remember this? Who had blood on their hands for what happened here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FApkQLNB30c
No, it's one of those messy things they call facts.

I was just taking the quote from "je1000". Transit. City is the one who put Sheppard East and Finch as higher priorities than the DRL, not me. Actually, TC put about a dozen Toronto projects ahead of the DRL.

Now Doug Ford has said that his brother realizes that he made a mistake, regarding the Danforth drunk episode. "Rob went down there, he had a couple of drinks, he shouldn'tve. Was it right? No." He also apologized for bashing Newstalk 1010 the other day.

Psssst! Forgotten is posting parody or sarcasm or irony or whatever you want to term it. He does it fairly well.

My veins were pulsing out of my temples and I had a headache afterward. He does it very well!
Btw, I knew the guy who drove that subway, I worked with him for about half a year at an unrelated job in the late 80's.
