Rob Ford's Toronto

She was just enjoying a few pops after work. Who doesn't?

I think "tired and emotional" is the standard British euphemism for politicians in her state.

The crowds gather for Rob Ford's surgery vigil on University Avenue.

It's a historic day today.

JG... Small question (again): Will Rob's surgeons take lymph node samples to check for the spread of disease? Every person I know who's had cancer surgery had lymph node sampling, but I've heard no mention of it in Rob's case. So, I'm wondering if it's something that's always done, or not. That information would be vital to staging his cancer, no? Or is there another way the docs can get it?

They will undoubtedly be taking some nodes, but it's not a standard dissection like breast tumours or the like.

Thanks.

Yep. As far as I can recall, Ford has not as yet explained or even apologized for the drunken/drugged-up rant about killing someone, has he? Because Worms would said, 'Yeah, but really, who cares? Mmm, these Fordfest burgers are delectable'.

After evading the question for a long time he claimed in his civil defense he was just getting pumped up for his arm wrestling match against Hogan lol.

BTW, I haven't noticed any "Cut the Waist Challenge" jokes around here. Poor taste on my part? (My wife says so.)

 

[PinkLucy]

Nah. Rob is the biggest example of poor taste there is, so you're good.

Announcement by Dan Jacobs stating the obvious? You'd think he was having the royal baby...

"They've been working on him now for several hours" @danjacobs_ on Rob Ford.

Looking forward to the months ahead, a steady stream of publicly announced bowel movements and catheter removals.

Let us pray that they don't end up on eBay.

Thanks for this. Puts some dots together nicely.

Got as far as the Media/Cops Reciprocity bias, and found the Red Apple citation: "Dixon City" article, Nat Post, 2014/06/13.

She fraked up, a lot of us have done it one way or another.

Nice to see at least one member of the media calling out the hypocrites...

I think they are being misquoted, I think they mean "privy".
