I think the Ford brothers are gong to find that if they try and push their BS with Kimmel, it is going to completely blow up up in their bloated faces. It is one thing to take on fellow councilors or even the chief of police by spouting ridiculous crap; it is quite another to try it with an...

What do you say to the staunch Ford supporter whom you meet in polite social situations who seems otherwise calm and rational, but who goes off on a tangent when the mayor's current predicament is raised or his effectiveness as mayor is questioned? I try and politely refute their ludicrous...

I suppose he doesn't really need to do much. Doug is going to sound like an idiot regardless. But the myth that Ford has been an effective, fiscally responsible mayor who's saved the city all this money still seems to be a commonly held belief that's rarely even questioned.

I can't believe Paiken didn't press Doug on his billion-dollar savings BS. Is he worried he's going to be accused of bias? A buddy of mine remarked that it might as well be LeDrew lobbing softballs. This is even worse than the Mansbridge interview.

Doug is right, Rob has turned a corner. Too bad there was an LCBO and fast-food joint around it.

Slogans are easy; explaining is hard. Fuel anger out of the perception that governments are out to screw you and you've got Ford Nation.

Hahaha ... good one!

I totally agree. Who can play Doug?

And that is the problem in all of this. The apathetic lack of caring what destructive power Ford has. It's cheap entertainment. But hey, the Americans are finally paying attention to us. This selfish, gimme-gimme Tea Party mentality also seems to expect everything for free. And the Ford...

Today's editorial in the Globe and Mail calls out Ford and his people as anything but conservative who expediently fans the flames of voter anger: "But Fordism doesn’t come with an open mind. He and his advisors have sought to channel and inflame a certain group of angry voters. Seeking to...

To anyone considering going down to express outrage at such arrogant audacity on Rofo and Dohfo's part, I suggest keeping your protest silent, not only to respect the memories of the war-dead, but lest you play right into the Fordos' hands from an "optics" POV.

Dear Toronto: You're Being Trolled By Ford Nation by Reginald Braithwaite Posted: 11/05/2013 3:07 pm Do you ever have this nightmare? You're on the Internet, and you're trying to explain something sensible to someone, and they're heaping abuse on you? And when you start to make headway with...

Forget a movie or miniseries, it's already a reality tv/radio/social media show playing out in real time. One that's funny on the surface but deeply tragic underneath.

And perhaps starring Woody Harrelson in the title role? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH6EyMpUWC4

This has been my concern as well. Regardless what one thinks of Rob Ford's character, he is a deeply flawed and helpless human being who needs to take a break and get better, not only for his own but especially his immediate family's sake. How he's lasted this far carrying on with the same...

Keeping as much under wraps as possible until Det. Giroux's investigation reaches some solid conclusions, the better. I don't care who's keeping things airtight, so long as questions eventually get answered truthfully.

And let's not forget Doug's familiar refrain, "we're here for the little guy." His/her votes that is.

Curiouser question: When will the Ford camp start answering questions honestly? It might make those rumours go away, as people will be less likely to wonder WTF is going on.

"Anything else?" Apparently, yes.
