It seems like the reporters have just accepted it as part of reporting from a war zone, and their employers too, but if they don't file a complaint, aren't they normalizing it? What happens when some 98 pound reporter gets trampled under the Rhino stampede and sues City Hall and their TV station...

I was thinking more Yakety Sax to go with the Vine video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHmskwqCCQ

Is he not assaulting these reporters? You can just wham into people and shove them aside because you're mayor and want to get somewhere in a hurry. I guess it's up to the reporters if they want to lay complaints.

When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

Drunk? Note his right hand movements at 1:03 in the video. Does alcohol do that to you? Or crack? http://www.livestrong.com/article/190490-how-do-i-tell-if-someone-is-smoking-crack/ "Tremors or hyperactivity may be noticed as the hands tremble or the person's legs or arms twitch or are in...

His esses are particularly sibilant.

To quote Thug, "It's not about truth". It's about perception. Note in the crack video, Slob is quoted as calling Justin Trudeau a fag. As far as I can tell, Justin is 100% hetero. But he does have a gay-sounding voice. That's good enough for Ford Nation, it's not about Truth.

I didn't say he WAS gay, just that there are rumors that he is. This he might be an attractive target to attack as a dogwhistle to homophobic element of Ford Nation. Whether he is actually gay or not I have no idea, and who cares. Point is, fits a pattern of the Fords using homophobia to build...

Could the fact that Kevin Spacey has been widely rumored to be gay factored into the Ford's choice of him as an attack target? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-300674/Why-Spacey-secretive.html

Torontoist's take on whether Ford could sue people for statements they made to the police: http://torontoist.com/2013/11/legal-analysis-can-rob-ford-sue-former-staffers-over-what-they-told-police/ tl;dr: unclear. Probably wouldn't win.

Is it just me, or is the most logical explanation for Ford's lewd remarks that he had alcohol and/or other intoxicants on board? I think the remarks have severely hurt his cause; soccer moms in Etobicoke are going to find that kind of language/attitude hard to defend. And of course this right...

I nominate the Star for the Pulitzer. Seriously.

There are a million possible defenses to a possession charge. Maybe Rob thought it was crack but someone ripped him off and it was just a legal substitute in it. He was already blitzed on Purple Jesuses so he didn't notice. He thought he smoked crack but he really didn't. Issue of possession is...

I doubt Rob could be successfully prosecuted on this alone. The video as described is not conclusive that the substance is crack, "about a year ago" doesn't tie it to when the video was shot, and what he says outside the court is hearsay, not sworn testimony.

May I offer a suggestion for poster making? I found a free program called Posteriza (http://www.posteriza.com). It lets you choose your text, optional background image, and then prints everything out poster-sized by cutting it into 8.5x11 sheets (which your printer can handle) that you then glue...

Reddit moving up slowly... 20 comments, needs more upvotes! )and comments) http://www.reddit.com/r/toronto/comments/1pviti/want_to_get_action_from_toronto_city_council_on/ The more ups it gets, the more visible it gets, and many more people may write.

These are each composed and signed individually, so we should expect a personal reply? I doesn't make you part of a group to find the councilors addresses and use them.

Sent my email to the executive. Haven't heard back from Pam McConnell (who I emailed yesterday). to: councillor_crawford@toronto.ca, councillor_crisanti@toronto.ca, councillor_digiorgio@toronto.ca, councillor_kelly@toronto.ca, mcrover2@toronto.ca, councillor_mammoliti@toronto.ca...

Sorry about that. I tried before, and it would only quote the most recent message but now it seems to work fine. My stupidity... need to move forward...
