Plus, the overall point of the column is to somehow convince the reader that Rob was not hammered in this shot ... I know the whole ginger-ale-tasting thing is very old news to most on this forum, but until today I hadn't seen it directly from the asshole's mouth, or mouth's asshole, or...

Usually I turn off the National on Thursday before Rex takes the stage but tonight I f***ed up. Rex: He is exuberant beyond all conventional measure ... Rex: [Visibly trembles and smirks as he contemplates the extravagance of the BS he is emitting.] Hey, Toronto news media ppl: What is...

Thing I found in an old Warmington story ... Fuck, that is awful. So much awful in so little text. However, I admit that every time I reread the gratuitous Woodward-and-Bernstein reference I laugh harder than before.

I think nfitz meant not sure about Warmington and substance abuse, not not sure about his place in the Hall of Infamy.

I think CPS has backed off due to all the complaints. I think they may have figured out that if you're going to wake up tens of thousands of people in the middle of the night, you'd best be after an armed and dangerous murder suspect.

I helped scatter the ashes of somebody who died from colon cancer, and who had zero of RoFo's vices and risks. Kat is right. Lots of people who live like Rob will make it to 80 and beyond, and others who are models of healthy living will be stopped horribly short. ETA: Obviously it's wise for...

THIS. You have been great on this thread in recent days. (And throughout the RoFo marathon, as far as my middle-age-impaired memory can recall.) A good, innocent kid I know got diagnosed with leukemia a few years ago, at the age of about 5. After a couple of years of treatment, very rough on...

I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. --George Bernard Shaw (I would be amazed if this is the first time the pig-wrestling metaphor has been posted to this thread ...)

How can you say that?!?! Better than "Rhino on the loose"?!?! Please ... :p (Actually I think you're dead right, from a WTF-is-in-RoFo's-heart POV. The rhino thing is funnier, though.)

Yes. Scarberian deserves some love too, for suggesting the song and the Harper piece. I am happily stunned by the speed of the spontaneous interwebz collaboration.

OMG, that is fantastic. As a lightweight snark merchant posting 2700km away from the Big Smoke, it's a relief to be only 2nd (or 3rd or 4th if one or two ppl reply while I'm composing this) to offer my praise. That kind of stuff is why I am pretty sure that reading this thread is a healthy...

I think all of that skepticism and bitterness is totally warranted. What I don't get is the insistence as part of various peoples' stories (not yours) that there was discovery of The Mass back around the time Rob went to rehab, protection of that secret for months, and deployment of The Mass for...

Hey, whoa. Who other than you has alleged that the perps for this incident were actually police? (On the other hand, it's striking that nobody's ever been charged over that.)

Hideous problem for the physicians if Rob (probably steered by Doug and Mom) starts saying "you can talk about X but you have to respect confidentiality about Y." I hope the response will be, Fuck that shit, we'll be totally transparent or utterly silent, tell us which one you want. That is...

Pertinent tweet: Here's what I think, from 2700 km away: The mound of verbiage expelled by Rob, Doug and supporters over their entire political careers, and especially since Crack Vid One became a thing, is mostly toxic lies and bullshit, to a degree unprecedented in Canadian politics. That's...

Oh yeah, totally agree. That's why I thought the Tabatha Southey joke was so funny. Forum's quoting system let you down a little, it looks like.

Heh. Save the sympathy for somebody who has a bigger problem than worrying that he wasn't first to copy-and-paste some high-quality snark.

Ivor Tossell, on macleans.ca ... (Sentence bolded by me, because I think it is great, and because i fervently hope it's prophetic.)

Every shit-hurricane has a silver lining of a few very funny and on-target jokes ... (Sorry if I'm not first to post this here. Seriously hard to keep up today.)

Rich potential for extremely dark comedy here. Both Fords are on the ballot, and TeamFo flips back and forth from Vote Doug Not Rob to Vote Rob Not Doug based on changes in the prognosis for Rob. Criticize me for bad taste if you like, but I'm going to be bitter and suspicious unless the...
