So you'd rather vote for the guy who donated to both Fords in 2010, who went to their Mom's house to beg for an endorsement in 2003, and who regularly defended the Fords on his radio program right up until the time he could no longer do so with a straight face? There's a pretty simple...

Yes, it is. And it's why I can't understand progressives supporting Tory at all (usually as a second choice, granted, but still).

Cressy's parents knocked on mine. Nice people, too.

Sticker I saw today in the Spadina/Dupont area (not my photo -- found it online): As a Stones fan, I approve!

At least one of them, but probably both (i.e., business is terrible, but Randy's still getting bonuses).

Doug Ford demands debate organizers disinvite longshot candidate Ari Goldkind After Ari Goldkind was invited to a debate in North York, Doug Ford's campaign demanded he be uninvited — or risk Ford not being there. Now John Tory says he won’t be attending...

Yes, good for Tory (and this from someone who can't stand him). Fuck the debate organizers for caving in to Dougie's demands. I hope Chow pulls out too. Let Dougie preach all alone from the podium to to his Etobicoke brownshirts.

Don't forget the Basso siblings. https://twitter.com/jlancasterCBC/status/519878156908380160

Holy shit. So Dougie's going to defend his horrible attendance record by pointing out that he showed up more often than a guy who wasn't on council?

I don't usually give politicians credit for not being bigots and religious extremists. As for the rest: "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." John Kenneth Galbraith

From the Warmington article: He doesn't remember saying it, doesn't even remember apologizing for it, but says sure, he's willing to apologize again. Why not, apologies don't cost anything, do they? How the hell did we elect Melonville's Tommy Shanks mayor of this city?

Ha, that's my line! I posted it here and on a couple of other sites as well (as my "Bumbaclot" character). I wanted Chow to use it, but either way I hope it gains traction. Good for Goldkind.

Just returning some calls to constituents, folks. Potholes and raccoons in the attic and whatnot.

So is Chow going to use this interesting tidbit of Tory donating to the Fords? "TORY: A FORD IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING" -- something along those lines?

About Mikey, I have to admit I'm intrigued by his candidacy. Does he have a campaign slogan? If not, may I be so bold as to make a few suggestions: NONE OF YER BUSINESS I AIN'T TALKIN' AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME WHO WANTS TO KNOW? SHH!

Will the "special guest" be the TTC Leprechaun? He seems like a natural for Ford Nation.

I'm almost sure there's a flaw in your logic somewhere...

Paris Review interview with writer James Ellroy: I think this is how people like Tory see Ford's racism/homophobia/misogyny: casual attributes.

This proves Warmington is far more stupid than he is evil.
