Rob Ford's Toronto

She had Facebook posts to share. No time for funeral lines!

Three of the Ks are staffing the photo and floral bouquet gallery.

"Photo and floral bouquet gallery?" Seriously? Are they selling bobble-heads and taffy as well?

What the fuck did I just read? I liked the part where she said she fights bullying and then went ahead and called everyone names.

I don't remember seeing this here yet: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/opin...-problems-while-he-was-alive/article29405071/

You know there was actually an honest discussion about Bobbleheads.

Walked by St James and thought what kind of circus are they planning tomorrow. Turns out they are filming a movie today.

Did anyone see Renata today? Or was just Doug and family? He definitely got the message about the selfies, I didn't see any from today.

She is family isn't she, did I miss a bulletin from Dan Jacobs?

I'll be succinct, Robbie was a failed mayor. The Fords created the drama and blamed others.

And the Marco Muzzo verdict has effectively silenced all Ford coverage. That and that the fact they may have realized that it looks pretty goddamn stupid to have a live feed of a coffin sitting a rotunda with no mourners.

If Marco was a Ford, he'll would have gotten off on appeal. However, Marco is not going to appeal.

Three or four trestle tables covered in blue cloth. A few badly assembled photo displays - nothing on sale.

I edited the copy to reflect reality and Ford content.

• Family will conflagrate at city hall between 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. before Ford's casket is removed from the rotunda.
• The funeral cartage is expected to leave city hall between 10:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. and begin the procession to St. James Cathedral.
• The funeral is scheduled to begin at noon.
• The cartage will leave the church around 1:30 p.m. for a private (we mean it this time, really) burial service.
• From 6:30-9 p.m., members of the Ford family and politcal cronies that attend will host a public celebration of the former mayor's life, and political aspirations now up to Dougie at the Toronto Congress Centre (650 Dixon Rd.).

New right wing bullshit catch-word is "disingenuous." Which is hilarious given it's used when they're being it. m.therightscoop.com/at-some-point-…

Stealing from the Fords again!

Well maybe the occasional soul.

SAL claimed RoFo wasn't racist (presumably because he never called her a kike to her face) and then Mammo rightly called her on it.

Either Mammo's become quite reasonable or I've lost my marbles.
