Perruzza gave a long ass speech about all this being baby steps towards an area they don't have to moral or legal right to be and possibly a coup d'etat but still went and voted for both motions
Let me try and wrap my mind around this. RoFo understands what is happening. Would have done the same thing as the Councillors. Worries about the cost to taxpayers of a trial that he may bring forward. Yet he still refused to quit, which would make council happy and make a court case a moot point.
I know, for the most part, we are talking to the converted here but I am constantly amazed at the gall and utter stupidity of RoDoFo.
Thanks. I just needed to vent for a bit. :-D
Anyone else catch that? Ford basically said he "would have supported" the actions council took today if a mayor had been "behaving as I had." But since he's they mayor, "I have to support myself."
What an ass...
Boggles the mind, doesn't it...
This thread's moving at a million miles an hour but just an aside....John Tory was asked what his wife would do if asked to come down to a presser after he'd used the "p word" and referred to oral sex with her to the press. His response was that she'd be too busy packing his stuff to make the conference.
I don't know how to inbed but someone posted this this am on blogto - political wives:

That was so bizzare.
He is upset that the taxpayers money might be wasted, but would have voted for it himself if it wasn't him.
He's just in damage control mode so he's saying things that he thinks people want to hear. He just isn't even smart enough to make nice properly.

"Oriental" is not exactly hate speech, but neither is it innocuous. It's a term used mostly by an older generation, who have generally not been exposed to much diversity; in terms of import and association, it's scarcely better than "coloured".
I know the derivation & meaning - and you can call me Occidental without offending me - but meanings & usage change over time. Based on the way I perceive it, I don't use "Oriental" to describe people.
[sarcasm]Wow, you're a really wonderful person. Smart too.[/sarcasm]
Those pictures make me really sad.
Perhaps I'm a horrible person, but I can only feel a small bit of sadness for political spouses. They knew what they were getting into from the start (including all the huge perks that come from being the partner of a prominent politician), and anyone who is ignorant of the history of others in their positions is just kidding themselves.
Besides, do you really think that Renata has been unaware of what kind of man her husband is? She has chosen to stay with him, and while I understand that there are pressures there that make other choices hard, those other choices still exist.
