Rob Ford's Toronto

[VintagePunk]

My best guess is that he is a peer support worker, who was working at GS in that capacity. Maybe Doug insisted he needed a full-time babysitter. So he picked up Sobriety Coach just like Leanne. However, I could be wrong, I'm not perfect.

What I'm most curious about is, how is it okay for this guy to basically be given free reign over City Hall? Is he considered like a service animal for Rob? Can anyone who works at City Hall pick a person and come to work and say "this is my [insert any service] person who will be with me every work day"? It's mind boggling the way Ford can just do whatever he wants, and is rarely questioned.

Oy Vey!

Wouldn't Borat have been perfect for that interview?

Lola Fortino, "who is not a parent or an educator" said that queer youth should get counselling to overcome being homosexual, and that Gay/Straight Alliance groups in schools should be called Chastity Clubs.

I had to pinch myself to remember it was not Borat or one of the Yes Men.

Chasity clubs sounds really quite err, "unconventional". I wonder if the members get to share notes and experiences about it.

A Service Animal would be trained not to kick.

Ford likes to go on about how his family is the most important thing to him, along with spending time with his kids but it's all talk. When does this guy spend time with his kids? He's always out meeting his fans and posing for pictures. (if not being in a bar) From what I've seen, he seems to spend very little time with his kids or his wife. Once he's not mayor, he'll have lots of time to spend with his kids. Somehow, I suspect he will find other ways to avoid his family responsibilities and kids but still have time to hang out with Lisi.

Let's face it, Ford's kids must hate him. The taunting about their crack daddy at school; the sound of his car pulling into the driveway at 4:00 am after a binge and his 300 pound frame stumbling down to the basement; his low-life friends.

And using Chuvalo's charity event for his election campaign is disgusting.

Not as bad as using the kids - it's pretty despicable to hide behind women (Renata) and children to avoid questions.

Can you please refresh my memory on why she is important?

She posted a story to Reddit, later deleted that said Rob Ford had fled from rehab and crashed through a fence. The theory driving all this is that he was driving McRobb's truck, that it was this crash that necessitated the foot x-ray, and that he lent her his truck to make up for smashing hers.

When I was in school, it was a polite term for handjobs and such.

The ugly runs deep in that one.

In a more just universe, she would have had a proudly out son.

Every now and then, I love to look back at the early days of this thread (or rather, the original thread).

Here are a couple gems from early 2011.

Sure this is not called the Fight For Good Drugs?

The name of the woman above is Iola -- eye-ola. The sans serif upper cap is confusing. If you check twitter account she is anti LGBTQ and super religious. However, I don't believe she follows the "what would Jesus do" rule.

Keep connecting the dots!
