Exactly. RoFo, by now you're just expected to be an out-of-control substance-abusing asshole. But could you please at least not be so INEXPLICABLY WEIRD about it?! Somewhere it was said, This guy can't even fuck up properly. Was it on this forum or somewhere else? Google is not helping me...

Warmington: Yeah, about that stuff Donovan reported regarding March 5, exactly one person in the entire fucking universe (initials, JW) could argue that RoFo doesn't have something to answer for.

Almost certainly not. Google Joseph McCarthy alcoholism and check out the cornucopia of hits, including some that suggest also an addiction to opiates. Mention of McCarthy's name puts things in perspective for me. Rob Ford is terrible, repulsive, a serious impediment to progress, a grievously...

I'm not sure if they're similar at all. The weird thing about Lakritz is the combination of idiocy with fierce independence of thought. Unlike some other terrible columnists, it doesn't seem like she's loyal to any of the powers that be, or pandering to any particular audience. (I have just...

Go ahead, do it, you've earned it by reading at least half the column. I read the ever-shrinking Herald from time to time but stopped reading Lakritz columns many years ago because I couldn't take the crazy.

Whoa, that's quite a special column, even for Naomi Lakritz. So much effort to be wrong about so many large and small points. I especially love the anti-prescient shout-out to the kind and thoughtful I Hate the War on RoFo people. As for the inter-city sniping, T.O. has been a terribly soft and...

Wow. I just about fell sideways off my chair laughing. You win the internet for the foreseeable future.

Hey, Toronto Peeps: It's late, you should get some sleep. But if you can't sleep, Tabatha Southey seems to be on a roll (yet again) ...

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that the words "my fault" and "I failed" are sincere. Hope my guess is correct. ROFOMOFO has been pretty good about the whole addiction and rehab story over the last little while.

I totally agree with your key point. It seems impossible not to conclude that TPS has been risking innocent lives. However, I can't resist making a barely relevant rhetorical point ... http://xkcd.com/1364/

I am not a lawyer, much less an ON criminal lawyer, but that makes no sense at all to me. When, ever, has some alcoholic driver been tailed over and over but never been charged, with the goal of using the evidence for either a super-duper DUI case, or some more serious criminal case?

Smart, accurate, and gets to the point at lot faster than most of us around here! That would be a good question for Doug, if he decides to creep us all out by running for mayor.

I think you're mostly right. Rob is awful and ought to be beyond political redemption regardless of exactly what is and is not true about his rehab story. However, Doug's credibility (not really a thing to UTers, I know) , and any notion that he is some sort of decent guy trying to help his...

Fine city, I'd agree. Centre Of The Universe, not in our lifetime, unless you're a precocious 9-year-old. This town is not yet trying hard enough to imagine itself in a world trying to get away from fossil fuels. (Plus, Nenshi is great, but don't get me started on AB provincial politics or the...

Hahahaha! I'm delighted that I didn't have any food or drink in my mouth when I read that. It's so weird that it's so funny and also so potentially true ...

The n-word is depressingly current, though. Not to make light of all the other terrible stuff RoFo has said and done, but use of that word ought to sting particularly hard.

Yeah, it's a very good question: How exactly and through whom did all that hateful thinking and vocab get into Rob Ford's small brain?

I'm just a little worried that said turds will turn into giant shit-trees blocking the sun for one and all, dropping a less than tasty feast on innocent and guilty alike. A savage hammering of Hudak next month would help ease my nerves.

From Donovan's story ... Note that Donovan is suggesting that there's even worse stuff on tape, which he is holding back for some reason. Awkward writing, because that stuff is not yet in fact published. Later on in the story, Rob stuns some deeply scuzzy woman-abusing criminals into...

Wow. I challenge any sane person to read from beginning to end of that CBC story and not wonder at least a little about whether some kind of monstrous trolling operation is going on. The quotes attributed to DMW and Mammo have been widely reported, but what the hell, both quotes are...
