This dude would have been great to dress up as for Halloween.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Ten pillows and a crack pipe?  ;)

I love this picture of Rob Ford opening Toronto Pride:


The context of course is that he really, really did not want to go, and resisted for a few years saying he always spent that weekend at his family cabin.

Is that pointy-headed gel job considered a good look in Toronto homosexualist circles?

:yes: :(

If he was still alive there would have been a hilarious SNL skit about this guy this weekend starring Chris, I bet.

Wow, I just read this guy's bio on Wikipedia and (assuming it's accurate) this guy sounds like a complete fucking loser who achieved nothing in life without daddy's help.  I can't for the life of me understand how he managed to get elected to office.... and here I was thinking that everyone in Canada is an amazing enlightened genius.  cc has led me astray  :(

I thought the same thing, though ironically, CC was the one to disabuse me of that notion.

Yeah, a small snippet from the rather large "Substance abuse incidents" section in his Wiki page:

QuoteOn St. Patrick's Day in March 2012, Ford was "very intoxicated" at City Hall and a downtown restaurant. According to those attending, Ford held a "wild party" in his office. Ford knocked down a staffer, insulted others, then went to the BierMarkt restaurant. After "flailing around" on the restaurant's dance floor, Ford returned to City Hall by cab, making racial slurs to the driver. The Mayor then wandered around City Hall after 2 AM with a bottle of brandy, swearing at his staffer Earl Provost before security arranged for him to be taken home. The incident was revealed after an e-mail from a City Hall security guard describing the incident was found through Access to Information requests.

I can't stop laughing about this dude.  He is hilarious.
