I'll bet they never thought he'd go so far. He was on council first. That's considered the lowest job on the totem pole for politics. It was a natural fit considering that he had the connections to win. But who knew this guy would appeal to voters enough to be Mayor? I suspect when it did...

Throat irritation could also be heartburn brought on by over-eating. This guy is destined for health issues.

Thanks to Guy and others for clearing this up. I love the moniker "Guy Caballaro" and wonder how many people know who that was. ;)

Thanks for unlurking. Good comment. And yes, I suspect you are both right but it saddens me to think that people who may be friends or neighbours believe that I am one of the people they should despise simply because my views are a little left of theirs. If they bothered to ask me why my views...

At the risk of sounding really stupid, I gotta ask... when did CP24 become a source of news for tea party types? I don't get the channel but I thought CP stood for "City Pulse" as in Citypulse news - CITY tv. Was it not an unbiased, or even left leaning station when it started out under Moses...

Yes, and true for most workplaces at even earlier times in our history, but after-work was another story in many places (can't vouch for city hall on this one, just offices in private companies). Did your co-workers never stay behind, crack open a bottle and have an impromtu party for a birthday...

I know it sounds shocking by today's standards, but when I was growing up, male executives drank all the time. Drunken work parties were common even for blue collar jobs. I was really too young to engage with the older staff but I recall thinking they were nothing but a bunch of booze hounds. If...

Common folk = unwashed masses. lol <sniffs self to see if a shower is needed>

I'm a bit cynical when it comes to elections. Things are not always what they appear. Most people are too polite to boo the man when he visits their building. They know that such behaviour might cause fights with any supporters. The supporters on the other hand see no dissent as proof that their...

Alcoholism is tragic and most people would have some sympathy for Ford's struggle. But sympathy and enabling are close neighbours. A person with a serious alcohol problem is not fit to run a major city. In fact, Ford is not fit for most jobs in this condition. There's a reason poorer people...

Ditto for the people I know. Also disturbing are the people I've spoken to who want someone in charge they can have a beer with. They are so mistrusting of all politicians, believing every one of them to be dishonest. What an insulting world view! There's no convincing them that not every...

That is really good! It's like a dream come true. Comon' April 7! What happens if two people share the same date in the pool? Aren't there several like that?

I agree that he doesn't look that out of it. I'm sure he can get a whole lot drunker. He's definitely got a shine on but he mangles the english language on good days. His verbal dyslexia happens even he is trying to answer simple questions. I'm not one to criticize anyone for cussing because...

I read something about the Barenaked Ladies decision to retire Stephen Page and I think the cocaine wasn't the only issue, although it was a big one. A band like that would depend on U.S. travel and in this post-911 climate, a cocaine charge is serious enough to keep them out of the U.S. I...

That's not a tremor. He's making the phone sign. His behaviour in this video is rather tame by his standards, but that outburst at 1:17 is typical of drunken idiocy.

red roarin' arse wipe. ;)

It's the grown up version of getting in van with someone who offers you a popsicle. Frightening.

I think mine was April 7.

That's for sure! Geeze I'm starting to feel like a well-worn old broad but my Grandfather was taken to that facility for a very similar episode; a melt-down at work. He never came home after that which was unfortunate, but safer for the family and him. I think booze pickles the brain (not...
