These fucking guys have been pretending to do their jobs for four YEARS. The only thing resembling "work" that they actually manage is their efforts to ensure another four years of utter fraud.

So what are young men called when they prey on "older women"? Not the sugar momma situation, that's not always he case. And yes it happens.[/QUOTe
Ive heard them called cubs. They might call themselves lucky but the word Cougar denotes a certain predatory nature regardless of the age difference.

"I personally wouldn't have voted for that" Mayor Rob Ford on Chief Bill Blair's severance"
"TCHC CEO Gene Jones severance is $200,000"

ford doesn't have a prayer
look for Sok to make dramatic gains by september
all this "strategic voting" bullshit is simply maintaining the status quo
you want something better for toronto? don't vote ford or tory or chow

I would bet that if Soks starts to close in on eclipsing Ford's numbers that a lot of Tory/Chow supporters will swing over. Funny but it seems that Ford can't attack Soks with the rhetoric the way he can target Tory and Chow. Nothing to stick to on that one.

He received 47% of the vote in 2010.
Any predictions as to what percentage he will receive in the 2014 election?
Like they say, it's the only poll that counts. ( We saw how wrong polls can be after the recent provincial election. )
Sounds like a good pool for UT!
( Unlike the arrest pool, we have a definite date for the election. )
"Rob Ford HIGHER than he has ever been!!!"

I think the ironic use of it has drained it of all sincerity. The only vestige of actual empathy in it is when someone is referred to as being a 'bleeding heart' but even then the suggestion is that someone cares too much.
So yeah, Rob probably doesn't actually realize that it means you don't actually care (much), but then he doesn't actually care anyway. It's just a convenient dead metaphor (as Orwell put it) for putting on a display of empathy.
What it really means is 'I know I should pretend to care and they tell me I'm supposed to, but I don't. Instead, I'm going to revert to one of my talking points to score some more attention'.
It seems that when 'my heart bleeds' actually connoted sympathy, the flippant way of expressing the opposite was 'my heart pumps dishwater'.

I'm down with a "% of the vote" pool for Ford. What would the prize be? Glory?
I have no problem keeping track again, although I think maybe this time, please PM me your answers as it will be easier to keep track of. Should we set say a two week limit?

Good idea about PMing the predictions. It will be more interesting not knowing what the others pick until it is "officially" posted here.
Bragging rights to the winner!

This is some serious wishful thinking.
In a year without an incumbent? Sure.
In a year with an incumbent as reviled as Rob Ford? No.
People are going to be voting to get Ford out of office, not necessarily for the ideal candidate. Soknacki only stands to steal votes from Tory or Chow, which will lead to Ford polling in the lead again, in which case people will get skittish and swing right back to Tory or Chow.
Also, I've donated to Soknacki and think he's a great candidate. But if he contributes to a vote split that allows our current idiot criminal mayor to be re-elected, I won't have much respect for that.
We can't get on ranked ballots soon enough.
