How does she get that from "no KNOWN risk factors". SMH.

That's not how math works. A disease can be incredibly rare and still much more likely to affect obese people. Given the rarity of his type of cancer, I wonder if there's even enough data to rule out obesity as a known risk factor. Maybe no one has actually done a study or there aren't...

Of course not, they'd have to do another election.

If it's just a blockage wouldn't they normally use an NG tube or similar mechanism to drain stomach fluids and prevent the vomiting? If he's still vomiting after multiple days in hospital I'd have to think it's due to something more than the obstruction.

Setting up a "win one for the Gipper" scenario is exactly what I've come to expect from the Fords. It will be megalomania down to Rob's last breath. At least if he does die, Doug won't be around in politics to use his dead brother as a prop at every opportunity the way Rob did with their father.

There's a joke about his "champion swimmers" in there somewhere...

I thought it sounded more like "Burger master of Toronto meets tumor in crackhouse meat".

Folks, nobody has done more for trees than Rob Ford... expecially trees beside public schools in Etobicoke.

Yeah, I was being a bit facetious, but I know a guy who's very intelligent and well educated and a Ford supporter (though not a hardcore one, I could see him switching to Tory). Like many of them, he's an older man and a social misfit who feels disenfranchised in modern society and is...

Probably tops out at about 89 -- the 23rd percentile of the IQ distribution.

And one sentence per paragraph. One wonders if Joe Warmington penned it.

Yeah but none of those things benefit *me* so they're just gravy! It's important to realize that most of Ford nation does not see the value in most social programs, and from their perspective each and every one of the items on this list is something somebody is either profiting from or...

No they won't, Doug is even less popular than Rob. He lacks the jovial bumbling idiot persona that gives Rob a certain kind of charisma - he just looks angry and awkward all the time which is a big turn off to voters.

Yeah, it's too bad for you. You need to accept that your opinion isn't special just because you've talked to the man, and stop trying to tell people they're wrong just because they interpret the situation differently.

What the hell? There's no way. Even the recent Rogers NHL deal was only for $5.2 billion over 12 years. How is a brand new league in something that's not a mainstream sport in Canada going to bring in even 1/10th of that? I get that a lot of people in Canada are passionate about the sport...

The modest house and car make sense to me given both his lifestyle and what he was trying to sell politically. If you're hanging around with low level dealers and gang members and smoking crack and shooting up heroin in your basement, it probably doesn't make much sense to have an expensive...

I think the latter, since the "sexxxxxxxz?!" was posted immediately after.

LOL at the lectern and the speech printed out in 30 pint font. And he could still barely read it.

Was Rob Ford wearing a Brazil jersey today?

I wonder if there's a whole treasure trove of stuff saved up on him that they didn't publish while he was at robhab out of "respect for privacy" and wanting to give him a chance to comment.
