Rob Ford's Toronto

[Scarberian]

SAL's the worst (well, maybe not as bad as Warmington). I blocked her on Twitter a long time ago. I follow a number of people whose political beliefs I respectfully disagree with, and sometimes this gives me a different, valuable perspective on various issues. SAL's feed is the equivalent of a bunch of fart noises.

But fart noises can be funny. Especially when they make a rich dowager lady drop her monocle and proclaim "Well! I never!" On a more serious note, this could be the last chance that Rofo has to bow out with what miniscule 'dignity' he has left. Then again, I would not be surprised if King Robert the First stays long enough to have his name still on the ballot, but drops out after the official deadline. Simply as one more gesture of 'EFFFFF YOUUUUU, AND SUKIT!!!!111. Aimed at Tory, at the city leftist elitist pinko queermo cyclist media and extremely biased latte sippers revolting ethnic peasants, and at Toronto in general.

I wouldn't be surprised if the surgeon told us that in his professional opinion, the mayor's tumor has a Rob Ford.

I wonder if the tumor would make a better merryl than Rofo.

Perhaps it'll also mean it will start on time

7:03... No such luck.

I have had this thought stuck in my my head today.

My heart bleeds for him, but at the end of the day it's his own fault.

and that's how he could meet the same fate as his dad but at a younger age.

The timing of the press release fits in with an afternoon surgery. I'm going to predict that the mass has been removed and Rob is recovering in intensive care. We won't know if its malignant or benign for a few days.

I think that would be a pretty ambitious timetable, but we'll see.

The kids were taken from him by CAS in April. It's likely his death would be a fresh start for all.

When was this mentioned? I do remember something from months ago where Ford's wife's parents are now caring for the children, but was this due to CAS intervention?

Lots of test done today. Nothing conclusive, biopsy results next week. Nothing has changed from yesterday.

Meh. Biopsy only. I was off on that one.

Why won't he say what size it is?

How bizarrely coincidental ...

Edit ... hang on. They list there clinic address at 807 Broadview Avenue. That's the Albany Medical Clinic - http://www.albanyclinic.ca/ - I go there. I've seen no sign of Greenstone in the building. Nor is there any signage outside, or in as I recall. Nor can I find any of their "team members" listed on Albany's website.

Something seems odd here.

if you are a patient at albany and are referred for something like a colonoscopy, you are sent to a greenestone clinic... usually the one at yonge and finch.

Minor clarification: Doug said that after meeting at Perkins and complaining about stomach pains, Rob went first to his doctor and then to the hospital.

where is his doctor located?

Meh. Biopsy only. I was off on that one.

With the doc so confident of benign-ity, I go back to Fords lying as a last ditch effort.

Btw where's Donovan's story!! Dammit.

His pillow talk must be something else.

I like this doctor. He's knows how to run a press conference. Love the bit at the start: I don't want you to shout at me. Ask your questions one at a time. For the most part, the reporters were pretty well behaved, too. Good on him.
