I just...can't...even... Doug Ford thinks there should be a federal law banning parody accounts and satire. Because he can't recognize the value of such things. It's gotta stop soon, for my own mental health. This spewing of unreasoned, unconsidered bullshit. It makes the article sno man linked...

Tweeting about it is akin to endorsing it. And the Project for the New American Century has done untold damage to the world's assessment of U.S. goodwill. I'm understating things. I'll bow out of this discussion now that it is veering far away from Rob Ford's Toronto.

I guess it depends on your assessment of the merit of the Iraq War, regardless of the lies used to justify it. But here, let me Wikipedia that for you...

sno man, Ha! I just visited your 'shops gallery. Thanks again for the meaty contributions to the thread. Doug to CNN - Translation:

To my mind, Rob is an exemplar Tea Partier. committed to slashing government at the same time he gums it up.

The halcyon days are gone.

I tend to fear and distrust the police, but I'd be a lot more comfortable questioning Ford in an Officer's presence than I would in the presence of a steroid abusing, heckler photographing bodyguard/driver.

Just...ugghh. My reaction is quite visceral.

Mikhail Bakhtin, a Russian literary theorist and critic, identified fourteen distinct characteristics that are typical of Menippean satire throughout the ages. These include a comic or “carnival” element; freedom from accuracy with inventive plots and philosophical approaches; absurd situations...

lol, "not LeDrew"

A great watch is Burn, a documentary about Detroit's Firefighters. Jaw-dropping stuff, if you get the chance. http://www.detroitfirefilm.org/

Just...wow. Colour me deeply impressed, sno man. Thanks for the contribution.

Thank you. Quoted for justice.

Is it plausibly a problem with the Ministry of Correctional Services?
