The Drunkard Rob Ford




Now that Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has decided to take the cure, it's time to discuss, among ourselves, the possibility that he will indeed still become Mayor of Toronto, once again.

Had he kept drinking and drugging, Rob Ford might very well have won back his tarnished crown, as the Mayor of the People of Canada's coolest, most notorious city. Unfortunately, a sober Rob Ford doesn't have a hope.

Here's why.

Like it or not, drunks tell the truth. Taking a few shots of the demon rum may make a person run off at the mouth, and he make indeed regret it later, but generally speaking, booze opens up the cortex of honesty.

Rob Ford indeed may have wanted to, what did he say? "jam" a competitor. He also may sincerely believe he has "more than enough to eat at home". And quite possibly, Rob Ford may have wanted someone to die at the business end of his ham handed fists.

He also most assuredly believes in his drunken stupor that one of our national leaders is light in the loafers.

A lot of folks, particularly in red neck territory, The Ford Nation, appreciate this kind of honesty from their politicians. They like a guy who can eat a 24 ounce steak and talk trash out of the side of his mouth. They like a man who takes his strippers seriously and refers to them as "old friends".

Unfortunately, what rednecks don't like is people who lie.

And fact is, Rob Ford sober is a big fat liar.

He lied about smoking the crack. He fibbed about not being at the scene of his many crimes. And he told a huge one about how much he has to drink.

We have seen the evidence that a sober Rob Ford is not to be trusted.

And therefore, a sober Rob Ford will be unelectable.

Toronto wants The Big Guy, the one who gets The Brand on all the late night shows. The Drunkard Rob Ford has put Toronto on the map. Jimmy Kimmel wants to adopt him.

But nobody wants The Dry Drunk Rob Ford, the doofus who, when he gets angry, turns into a exploding penis head.

Hopefully, when Rob Ford gets back to town, he will have seen the light. He will realize that being Mayor of Toronto will pose a threat to his sobriety. Once sober, he needs a place to put his anger.

Perhaps he can be content making labels.

Or weaving baskets.

Whatever he does, he has no business being Mayor of Toronto.

Leave that to the pinkos or the rich folks.

Hey John Tory, where is the subway, anyway?

    While not personally living in Toronto, the Rob Ford Brand stirs my passion, although Iknow you are being incendiary. If there are pinkos racing, you can have them. I don't want pinkos here!

What Bell isn't telling you about Fibe TV

Update: This week, we switched back to Rogers after spending far too long using Bell's crappy television service. For those with Bell, read and weep. For those considering Bell, think twice even if you hate Rogers. RS I've always been an early technology adapter. I had a Betamax. That tells you everything (if you're over 50 at least). My first computer was a "Portable". It weighed 40 pounds and I had to lug it around town on a gurney. I've been through probably 15 computers in my lifetime. Apple is the best. It's also too expensive so I have a piece of shit HP, the one I'm writing this blog on. I've had cable, internet and now Netflix. American Netflix . That's how far ahead of the curve I am. I get all the newspapers for free. How? I disabled my cookies so they can't track me when I'm on the newspaper sites. Even the New York Times hasn't cottoned on to that trick. Hahaha. That will be a fifty buck consulting fee. Bein...

Ashley Simpson: Please sign this petition to help her family

Those who read this space regularly know that my family is frantic with worry about my cousin, Ashley Simpson , who has been missing 40 days now. Both her boyfriend and her landlord reported that she had left with no money, no car, no resources from her Salmon Arm, B.C. home after a domestic dispute over money. Since then, there has been no trace of her. The RCMP now considers this a homicide investigation, but the family has not heard any updates from them in more than three weeks. Just after she disappeared, her father, relatives and friends set out from St. Catharines on a long trek to B.C. to find her. They all left their work, and their lives, intent on finding Ashley who had always kept in touch. It was completely out of character for her to lose touch. Her parents have been consumed by worry. They have been unable to work, and are having a hard time functioning. As a result, they are now relying on donations from family and friends to keep the wolf from the door...

The strange case of Greg Etue

I got out of the daily news reporting game, I'll admit, because I didn't have the stomach to cover the many sad stories that came across my desk. I remember clearly once when I had to call an RCMP sergeant after his young son blew his head off with the officer's service revolver. "Please," he pleaded. "I really can't talk right now." "It was your gun, is that correct?" He slammed down the receiver. I was ashamed of myself. People have a right to some privacy in difficult times like that. I also used to hate having to go to the door of a dead child's home and jostle the competition for a picture. Really, it felt more like ghoulism than journalism. That said, I still believe that these stories must be told in an honest and forthright fashion with all the facts and none of the flourish and emotion that is all the rage in reporting these days. Over the past two years, we, in this community, have been treated to a lot o...
