I am unable to comment or confirm anything right now. I would like to thank the Globe for its diligence & professionalism. (That's sarcasm.)

Hmm... did the Globe jump the gun on the story or report something inaccurate?

“to me, politics is not a speculative sport. Someone’s got to step up.”

I'm willing to bet Jude said "spectator sport" and does not appreciate the misquote.

FoFam's triumphant bragging about RoFo's computer illiteracy reminds me of the old Eddie Murphy "1,2,4,5! Mofo!!" Skit, where he mocked people for being proud of ignorance.

"You can't prove I know anything!!"
 
CP24Ford wanted to avoid the tough questions... not surprised.

Citytv requests an interview with Rob Ford, says "we would like to avoid the scandal": http://t.co/F7wKhBNWsW
 
Reading through Volume 6 of Soks FOI, I can understand why there are still 25% of people wanting to vote for Drug. Seems like a lot of people post-crack still wanted Robby to officate their wedding or drop by their parents 60th anniversary.

Strange, to say the least, but its all there in black and white, with names attached (guffaw).

Of course they would like to avoid the scandal. We can add that one to the few honest literal truth that Rob has said. What's next, "I would like to avoid getting arrested"? :p

Makes sense. He is quite the luddite.

[Pedantic historian]No he isn't, he's the opposite of a Luddite. The Luddites appeared when the British government banned trade unions. Contrary to popular belief, they didn't simply smash up machinery, they specifically targeted certain employers. At the time, many employers banded together to create large factories, each having their own machines in the same building. The Luddites would go in, smash the machines of bad bosses, and leave the machines of good bosses alone. When the British government backtracked and allowed trade unions to operate again, the Luddites disappeared overnight. They were never anti-technology, they were anti-bad bosses.[/pedantic historian]

If you're at all interested, EP Thompson's Making of the English Working Class has loads on this sort of thing.

If your lawyer is not working pro bono and you need help, please let the forum know.

For sure. Or even if he is working pro bono, but it doesn't work out and you get slapped with costs. I know I'd be willing to contribute. It's admirable to take something of this magnitude on for the public good.

Clarification: This is what CP24Ford promised the Fords... their reporters would avoid the scandal!

Probably not Breaking Bad though because he had the process reversed. Of course, Walt never did try any of his crystal.

My bad. I have heard the term used that way.
 
Doug doubles down, again.

"That's just not accurate...furthest from the truth," Doug says when told of emails showing mayor's staff were involved in campaign work.
