I got robo-polled by Forum last night (and gave them random responses, as any 7-year-old who answered the phone might do; how does Forum weight that, I wonder), and the last question was "Have I reached you on a landline or on a cell phone?"

To my point: Toronto police officer rebuked by judge for fabricating evidence; Man charged with drug trafficking and weapons possession is acquitted after judge finds ‘inexcusable deceptive conduct’ from police officer.

On RoFo's statement at the fester: it's quite possible that when he said he wanted to thank his kids, the thought ended there; the next two names could have been referring to two other people named Douglas and Michael. IOW, "I'd like to thank my wife, Renata, my kids (whatever their names are...

The title is an anagram of "Do No Harm, Celebrated Whiny Ford."

Hey, cool, I just received my invitation to FordFester -- 27 hours before the event! This family really knows how to plan ahead. The e-mail came from fordfestscarb@gmail.com, which I initially took to be a reference to the hi-carb content of the food offerings (sugar- & salt-filled burger buns &...

http://bit.ly/ZeYDSp DoFo: "I just wish the media would leave him alone," Ford said. "I got a call from his wife very upset today that media was staking out their house. I'm just asking again. I don't know if I have to plead or beg. Please just leave Rob alone."​ I don't know if I have to...

CBC learned Monday that Ford will not be leaving hospital earlier than Tuesday.

Farewell, Rob Ford (NY Times) "Then came 2010 and the election of Rob Ford as mayor. He spent the next four years trying his best to turn Toronto the Good into something like Deadwood, run by the Snopeses. "Ford was 300 pounds of redneck belligerence with the face of a malevolent baby...

Thanks, Pud. I understood his intent and remembered the photo, but couldn't put it down to a specific incident. (There have been so many...)

To those getting all empathizey/sympathizey and offering up prayers concerning Rob Ford, some encouraging words: I too have been offering up prayers concerning Rob Ford (for the last four years as a matter of fact) and mine have been answered. Perhaps yours will be too.

Refresh my memory -- what was the context of this photograph?

Jack ran for office as an MP and also as leader of a nation-wide political party to try to win either government or official opposition status. He accomplished the latter objective, vastly improved the NDP's influence in Canadian politics, and passed the torch, literally with failing hands, to...

I've been thinking the same thing. All those pix of RoFo drinking from a glass and having to hold it with two hands. Trembling hands are a symptom of pancreatic cancer. I also agree with a previous poster that FoFam has probably been keeping the presumed-benign mass as an ace up their sleeve...

FRUIT?! Who'd want to ruin a plate like that with fruit?!

Rob Ford should be feeling "nauseous" every day. He certainly makes me feel nauseated every day. (Nauseous: causing nausea or disgust.)

OMG -- Struwwelpeter!! My grandmother used to read those to me. The little girl who played with matches, going up in flames; the Blackamoor (if RoFo had been read to in a decent childhood, he'd use that word rather than n-----. To all UTers, and you especially fishie, if you EVER have a chance...
