loooooooooool

When I was a kid (like 5 or 6), we used to play a weird version of Cooties (tag except with eww gross girl germs) but instead of Cooties, we gave each other AIDS. Like "Ha ha, you have AIDS, you can't catch me!"

That was a weird time.

Have you watched anything to do with politics or the shows that lampoon them?

They love this stuff.

Why yes, yes I have. That could be why I posted the link.

I just imagine it'll start to wear thin when it seems every other day is another bit on Ford. Maybe its just because there's just been such a ford overload lately.

Ya, I'm getting worn out on the Ford news.

Wake me when he resigns, or does something even more rash.
 
I'm just catching up with the last couple of days of news...I just can't understand how this is even possible. How can someone, a freaking mayor of one of the biggest North American cities, be so incredibly stupid and lack any self-awareness? How can this be real life? It's just mind blowing.

How did that guy gain so much weight so quickly? Pictures of him from just a few years ago look 100 pounds lighter (but still very overweight). Poutine?

Every morning I wake up, I see new craziness from Rob Ford. I wonder what will tomorrow's news be about. Rob Ford to admit he did in fact have prostitutes over at the city hall ?

People elected a penny pinching idiot because he convinced them, through his folksy "straight talk", that spending was out of control at City Hall.

I think it's part of the 'code' that Rob Ford lives by.

So for I've got two things:

1. Don't be a rat.

And this is the aspect of this whole thing that, professionally speaking, drives me absolutely batshit insane.

Ford has always portrayed himself as this law-and-order, I-support-the-police, right-leaning guy.

And yet, in his fundamental nature, he repeatedly emphasizes this "I'm not a rat"/"I don't throw my friends under the bus" BULLSHIT

The fact that the mayor of the largest city in Canada would perpetuate "don't snitch" culture is complete bullshit and utterly antithetical to the idea of being pro-police.

Good, successful policework depends on people coming forward and speaking with us.

So, in saying that you will try to sue people who give interviews to police, and in insisting that you yourself "are not a rat", I say this:

Rob Ford, you are not a friend of the police, or in any way "pro police". Fuck you, fuck your hash-dealing brother, and fuck the horse you rode in on.

This guys seems to be a trainwreck, but I don't see a big problem if he's actually a good mayor. In the end, that's all that really matters. PEACE.

I love that people seem to think that possibly being good at your job (to clarify, he isn't) is enough to excuse you from criminal behaviour and consorting with criminals. Fuck man, maybe if I rob a few banks the cops and my friends and family won't care because I'm really good at my day job.

The pussy eating thing is amazing because it was completely unprovoked. No one asked him about it. He just brought it up on his own.

It's like he thought "I have more than enough to eat at home" was awesome and he couldn't wait to use it and he was so sad when nobody was asking him about it.

This is so fucking true lol. He's like sitting there, waiting, ready to turn the whole situation around the second a reporter dares to ask him about it, but they never do so he just throws it out there. Such a tryhard.

The Legend of BorkBork: BorkBorkity Borking
A piece on the National Post:

Rob Ford Mess a Monster of Divisive and Condescending Populism

And of all his enablers, the most culpable are the strategists, the ones who fashioned his image as the defender of the little guy, the suburban strivers, against the downtown elites, with their degrees and their symphonies - the ones who turned a bundle of inchoate resentments into Ford Nation. Sound familiar? It is the same condescending populism, the same aggressively dumb, harshly divisive message that has become the playbook for the right generally in this country, in all its contempt for learning, its disdain for facts, its disrespect of convention and the debasing of standards.They can try to run away from him now, but they made this monster, and they will own him for years to come.

Get help? He's had plenty.

You know, the only problem with Rob Ford's meltdown is that everyone is letting Harper get away with his shitty Senate scandal.

Of course, knowing Canada, I wouldn't be surprised if Ford and Harper returned to office in their respective elections with higher numbers than before. lol
