    I think the "Whaaaa...?" factor for me in this is if "Rob would have wanted" Ward 2 to have an active, day to day councillor to hit the ground running, why in hell didn't he resign months back or decline to run when he knew his health challenges would prevent him from doing the job? Ward 2 has...

    Ah interesting. From Wormington's comments it appears he may not have been invited since he was stuck outside the church.

    Yeah, but isn't admitting the fact in print a violation of the rules of a preliminary hearing? I had that bashed into my head in j-school over 30 years ago.

    Channeling Bette Davis I will say one should only speak good of the dead. Rob Ford is dead. Good. Truthfully, I wouldn't have wished death on him. I would have much preferred he recover and either face some justice for his misdeeds and hate mongering, or, better still, grow from his near death...

    But he's still got that constipated Ford smile, like his uncle Doug.

    I read a very interesting piece on "white privilege" that I find explains it better than I've seen it before, clarifying the real racial privilege. The author also points out that some of the supposed benefits of "white privilege" are actually "class privilege" having been originally voiced by...

    Well, to potentially give the devil his due, when I was in London in 2003, I was told by one of the British Airways folk that they made more outright profit running the London Eye than they did with all their worldwide flight operations. Not sure if there was some inflating going on, or if 2003...

    Yikes. Median overall survival, in years, for patients originally diagnosed with a metastatic form is 0.78 years. They don't even offer a 5 year survival rate for metastatic, just a 1 year rate of 45%.

    I wonder if the FoFam nixed it because the Dr. wouldn't agree to lie about RoFo having "pneumonia."

    It's been interesting, entertaining, frustrating, infuriating, exhausting and very, very distracting, but it's been a slice. Though somehow I fear that, having grabbed the spotlight for four years, RoFo and FoFam will continue to scrabble for attention, in or out of politics, for some time to...

    What blows me over is that an election candidate, and frankly the front runner, somehow thinks they have the right to ask for privacy (and downright isolation in fact), and everyone seems to treat the request as reasonable. Yes, he is sick, undergoing chemotherapy, and feels like crap. I'm all...

    And, speaking as a morbidly obese individual, eating and food becomes a mood altering drug. Consider it the concept of "comfort food" brought to the next level. It's damn hard to de-emphasize food, to learn to treat it a fuel as opposed to a reward, or a consolation. My GP spent years nagging...
