Yes, I totally agree with this kind of emotion. My reaction to Rob is overwhelmingly negative, but kind of complex. Anger, disgust, sorrow (not much for him, but lots about the mess he's made), and flat-out bewilderment over how his story can be real. Honestly, I can't figure out how he has...

Once again, 80s Doug is the best.

Thanks to all who have posted today. It's been informative, but also bewildering and nauseating ... I used to be sure that Rob and Doug were horribly flawed humans who by a horrible chain of improbable events got way more power and fame than they ought to get. I still think that's true, but...

God damn it. I challenge all of UT to come up with a Warmington/Strobel parody that is, like, 5% as awful as the real thing. These guys eat their own diarrhea for breakfast, then spew it out into columns. Sorry for the gross poop metaphor, but I am straining to understand how this stuff...

Yep. Does anybody here have any insight into what goes on at Sun Media? To understate by several orders of magnitude, it can't be pleasant. Apparent humans have decided somehow that the company should let both Peat and Warmington get their messages out in print and on the web. One guy is...

Haha! No need to say sorry, that was great! (Is there a person on Earth, Rob included, who is not so, so tired of Rob?)

Heh! I'm totally old enough to get the joke. I'm impressed by the riff on the word "tiny". Back in the day, Tiny Perfect Mayor was a big newspaper and TV news story, over and over. Physically, Crombie was not a big guy. But metaphorically, Rob Ford, as a politician, is rapidly shrinking out...

"They always seem to get the best #RobFord footage anyway." Too right. " ... with that asshole of a mayor coming back tomorrow." Smallest, tiniest 300-pound asshole ever. Really, is this guy in any way a serious political force anymore?

Like!

Warmington cares. Jesus. So awful. When the smoke clears after the election, it would be a painful but good exercise to make a list of the Top Ten Hideous Crap Columns Fed to Warmington Before He Disappeared. This one will probably be in the top five. Edit: I re-read the column. Quotes...

Thing I found via J. Goldsbie's Twitter feed ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyEWsRICmxQ Start watching for the Gardiner shots, stay to the end for the claymation barf ...

That's a good question with some specific insight. That said, I seriously think you could just say ...

Haha, yeah, if there aren't any RoFo stories in the news in the next few days, let's fill several pages here with chat about C++. It'll be even better than all the pages way back when about where you can and can't buy the Toronto Star in Montreal ... :p

This Mammo-mocking cartoon ... http://torontoist.com/2014/06/glad-hand-erotic-city-come-alive/ ... is awesome. The related reddit thread ... http://www.reddit.com/r/toronto/comments/28jyxe/mammolitis_guide_to_toronto_neighbourhoods_via/ ... is pretty good too, especially if, like me, you...

Haha! That is the true spirit of this thread! Yes. Most of us are jonesing (groan, sorry) for the next "Rob Ford Does Thing"* headline. It'll be a strange mix of thrill over whatever his new awfulness is and horror/nausea over the ongoing trainwreck. * deadspin.com used to have "Mario...

Heh, me too. Everything from single to eight. If Rob starts doing workouts on an indoor rower and Doug starts lying to the media about Rob's 2km test scores, my brain will implode.

I'm thinking on July 3 or so, Rob and Doug have a presser to announce that they've had a sober and deep heart-to-heart. They admit that they've made a lot of mistakes and hurt a lot of people. They say, Citizens, we understand that you have grave reasons to be skeptical, so to prove that WE...

Keep swinging! It's definitely better than doing nothing with the hammer, for many good reasons! But build up some energy and aim at the most deserving targets. Rob-Ford-in-rehab-goes-to-restaurant-and-doesn't-fuck-up is less deserving than, Hey, why has there been near-zero pursuit by media...

I agree. I think that Rob's failures over the last few months are due to lack of intellect and self-control, and deep emotional problems, not a disciplined, nefarious plan to deflect attention from evidence of terrible violent criminality. But still, attention has been deflected. Heroic...

I agree. Rob Ford in a licensed restaurant not drinking, not being disgraceful, possibly with his kids, is just a non-story, at Toronto, national and world levels. If the kids miss a couple of days of school to see their dad trying and more or less succeeding at not being horrible, good for all...
