Okay, which staffer hired the hacker this time?

Yeah no need to defend. I really wasn't attacking. Just stating my feelings about the tenor some of the discussion had taken. What do I know though. I apparently used the phrase "fuck him in the ear" about someone and now people are blocking me haha.

Hah well I guess you won't see this if I'm blocked but I never said fuck YOU in the ear. Or is it the profanity you have the issue with? :)

Also relevant that arguably the most powerful local politician until amalgamation was the Metro Chairman (i.e. Alan Tonks) who was also elected by Metro Council.

Honestly I'm going to respectfully bow out of this debate and just agree to disagree. I won't be making any more comments about how I feel about it, I've said my piece. I get your point of view, I really do, but nothing's going to convince me that while it's an important part of the puzzle the...

Word. :)

I just went through trying to find the original few posts after the pic was put up here. There was a particular run where Dave Chappelle's "whore's uniform" thing was brought up, and it got kind of ugly. That's all.

I agree, I'm terrible at letting someone else get the last word. But I'm not bringing it up. Just failing to leave it alone.

That's a valid point about Elaine Basso. And it's true there probably is to some degree a subconscious (or not so subconscious) reflex to favour the pretty girl (right up until it's "she's in lingerie she's a slut or a whore"--there often seems to be a point where once a pretty girl is called...

Oh. Well then fuck him in the ear.

Yes! Booyah!

You know you read the article and the thing with this guy is that he's solely concerned with his own concerns. His garbage gets picked up on time, therefore Rob Ford is a great mayor. Rampant self-interest to the detriment of literally anything else is the hallmark of these people. The guy...

Yeah he may say that now, but the bar is so low for him to succeed based on his predecessor that the adulation he receives if he's even barely competent could push him to reconsider. Power can also be fun, which is a factor. And if he does a good enough job that people are asking him to run...

You know, regardless of how you feel about Kelly (and I'll admit I don't have much of an opinion yet except that I'm not a huge fan of his voting record), it's amazing how little polling has been done regarding how well Kelly would do in the 2014 mayoral election. If he restores stability and...

It's not the lack of focus I had the issue with. Misogyny crept in, as I've mentioned, around the time that stag picture or whatever it was showed up and the discussion turned to whether that outfit meant she was a sex worker or simply a slut (or whether she was just wearing a slut's uniform).

13 oz actually. And keep in mind to go from (presumably, but who knows how much he was drinking before) sober to over the legal limit in two minutes has a different effect on judgment, reflexes, reaction time, etc. than slowly ramping up to 0.095 over a few hours.

Hah if that's the case that's pretty nuts. They (apparently) weren't getting paid. And it was a talking head show in their own studio with a little video production for that Levant montage and the cost of doing streeters. So if that's true than it was either A) like you said some kind of...

Yep, and we're going to crack the code by deciphering her outfit on a night that isn't the night in question. Bravo to us.

I'm still taking credit for this (see how I brought the discussion back around to me?) :p
