Dundat Square, Are you OneNutKrut posting under a different name? You have been accused of this and haven't addressed it. If so, you are here under false pretences, after having been banned. If not, wow, you certainly share the same backward attitudes. Your hostility towards the homosexual...

This most specious of reasoning has long been debunked. We get it, you're a bigot. Why bring it here?

I don't think you understand how tolerance works.

I think a pro-Rob ford book would be as popular as the Sarah Palin documentary Undefeated. Released when she was still wildly popular, the film took in only $116,381 in total box office receipts, making it a huge failure, even by lowered documentary standards. Michael Moore's lowest performing...

I'm slightly ashamed of the bubble I live in, but the only Ford supporters I have met are cab drivers. I attribute it to spending hour after hour accompanied only by talk radio.

Before Ford any mayor getting cited for public intoxication would be done. This barely registers a blip. Is this the new norm (ie. will the behaviour of other politicians now be judged against this new lowered bar) or is it just him?

No, the article quotes from the video in every other way (including some shortening of the story, removing things like "we were like, man, that's Rob Ford"). They may have misheard or not understood B, but changing the word to officer, at least without using parentheses seems false to me.

The eyewitness says Ford called the cop a "B" (he censors for the camera earlier when saying "F'd up") but the written report, directly below upgrades it to "officer", completely removing a major element of the story, that pro-frontline cops Rob Ford called an officer a Bitch. Global News should...

You've Got Bail was pretty funny, as was the Gmail joke that got it all started. Here are some good responses (from the Sun's comment board, no less) to Joe Warmington's bullshit piece: If he wants to have someone murdered on his own time, that has nothing to do with his performance as mayor...

Press conference momentarily, apparently.

No news about the rough up at City Hall mentioned in the tweet a page back?

Good point. Why would he go to so much trouble to (poorly) film it, without knowing what was going to happen next? Just to prove that Ford isn't drunk in public 100% of the time? It makes no sense at all. He sounds a little frightened, no?

More about the SOE debate here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQFKtI6gn9Y Please, Metroman, return. Please.

Unless I didn't go back far enough, I didn't see this article from the Globe yesterday being discussed: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/police-chief-blair-told-of-rob-ford-drug-allegations-in-april/article16118575/ it might make for a nice change of pace from the SOE debate.

I agree. I say we abolish the fire department, also. I mean, if people can't figure out that water extinguishes fire I say let them burn.

No Metroman for three weeks and a seemingly new influx of rightwing apologists. I think I might give this a rest for a while. But Happy Holidays everyone and thanks for keeping me informed over the past few months. I hope everyone is warm and safe.

Has Metroman not posted all month? ?

What exactly is being suggested here? That it's less legitimate because the Star is footing the bill? As his employer do they not have an obligation to support him in cases that relate to his job? Or do you believe the lawsuit frivolous? Ford has threatened to take legal action against Mark...

Maybe for calling the cops, but not for repeating the stories three times to journalists when it had long been debunked.
