I have been thinking that once Rob Ford retires from politics and from his family business, he should stay in Austin, Texas for the rest of his life. I heard that his viewpoints are more in line with the Texan consensus.

Well then, some Texan ranch would be better for him.Texas, maybe. But Austin is like a liberal utopia.
“It was circling around and around,” said the Ward 2, Etobicoke North councillor (Doug Ford) about the mid-August incident. “The plane was coming down so low I thought they were going to land in the pool.”
Angry at the danger of it, Ford said, “I stood there and gave them the finger.”
It didn’t make them go away.
“They were there for five straight days,” said Ford. “It was ridiculous.”
Not knowing if it was prying media or otherwise, Ford said he called two superintendents he knows who confirmed it was police over the backyard famous for hosting many Ford Fest barbecues.
“I asked them what they were doing but they just said it was something else,” said Ford. ”They said it was a bust they were making at the airport.”
He wasn’t buying it.
“You know when a plane is surveilling you,” he said. “I told them to come and check out any of our houses any time and just come in the front door.”
More reporting on the Police surveillance by air - this time from the SUN.

Doug Ford said the rented Cessna was more about harassment and intimidation by “some elitist people in Toronto” trying to obtain the reins of power than it ever was an “investigative technique.”
Is this David Price tip coming from your source? If so, this may be the first of the obstruction charges that MM was talking about earlier. Looks like we may have TPS picking off Ford's inner circle one by one.
Is this coming from someone in the know, or just speculation?
I just heard from my inside source. It looks like something big is about to go down in the next few days.

Amazing.
Obvious photoshop.
Anyway, interesting thing about the Austin trip--*Renata's* along for the ride...
Peck recalled one encounter where she spoke to the mayor on one of his visits to the street.
It was in May; she was walking her dog toward the Lisi residence in the late afternoon. Ford was sitting in his Escalade, brushing his teeth.
“He’s got this big bottle of water and he’s spitting out over the side of the car,†Peck said. “I’m coming up the street and he gets out of the car. . . . And then he said, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry but I’ve just had something to eat and I’m going to see the hockey game and I had to brush my teeth.’ And I thought, I can’t believe I’m seeing wht I’m seeing.â€
Yes, and you don't need to look too far.The problem, as I sit here contemplating MetroMan's last posts, is that Toronto has no shortage of "loudmouth conceited SOB's". In fact, we're swimming in them -- drowning in them. I could spend the next hour, just off the top of my head, rhyming off a list of know-nothing fools in our public life, and I'm sure there would be plenty left over.
Are other cities like this?
This thread is viral. It shows how people are interested in various rumours pertaining to Rob Ford.Some twitter users have picked up on the thread again tonight. WOW, was used to describe the content.
