Rob Ford's Toronto

[expat]

For someone supposedly clean and sober he sure like to hang around bars.

AoD

i think this would be a perfectly reasonable question for the media to ask him. "if you're in rehab, do you think it's wise to be hanging out in bars at night?"

 

[basic]

Red eye has zero, nothing to do with alcohol. It's light bouncing off the back of the eyeball, red because of the blood vessels there.

Alcohol and drugs can have an effect on pupils that make them less reactive to a flash, allowing more light to reach the back the eye, which is very likely to cause red eye.

The fact that all of them have it, makes things like camera angle and individual propensity less likely. The fact they are all in a dark bar makes drugs/alcohol more likely.

The first thing I noticed in the group shot with the ladies was the presence of red eye. There are several causes that can lead to this, including being under the influence. Considering everyone had red eye, and they were in a bar/restaurant, the presence of alcohol/drugs is a reasonable conclusion to draw.

We're stretching a bit here, folks.

The most common cause of red eye is a teenager wielding an iPhone with no clue how to use the correction software. A friend of mine, his wife posts a million pictures of her kids and they're always terrible, with red eye. Her kids are not using - she's just a bad photographer.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's using something again (though I don't HOPE he is, for his own sake) but red eye is pretty weak evidence.

Appears that the backlash has made DuetPR re-evaluate their strategy.....

He's cured, so subways.

^ That beast must be a real gas-guzzler. I wonder if it spends a lot of time idling?

In related news, mayor's bro looks like crap.

Maybe he's not scared about being sued, but the strain of managing Rob and trying to keep his own yap shut must be getting to him. I hope it is.

But wait! He is over subways and wants to talk about jobs now.

No, the fact that they're in a dark place means the pupils are dilated, hence more likely for red eye to occur.
Are you new?

 

[hper]

A court decides....

Thanks for that.

Subways are in the past. We're moving forward!

I saw the clip on Global where reporters were asking Doug about Blair filing the defamation suit and his usual bluster was absent. He made some smart-ass comments (ie. about Pugash being "taxpayers' money") but didn't have much else to say.

These two are a boil on the city and it needs to be lanced on October 27th!

The absence of red eye in most other shots could be because they seem to be have been taken before the sun went down, earlier evening. In the "having a beer"shot, which seems to have been taken in darkness, MINO's eyes are almost closed.

What is RoFo doing out patrolling bars/restaurants alone after darkness?

Let's see what time he shows this morning and what he's wearing.

Note that the PR girls have deleted the tweet with RoFo in it....

I'm confused. What if your job is building the subway? Do you have a job? How do you get to it? Help!

I suspect they might have realized that picture might not endear them to their current and potential clientele. Questions of judgement, and so forth.

I wouldn't be so sure that's her tweeting anymore. I suspect Lisi etc took over her account.
