New and long-term members of the Profoundly Stupid Club can rejoice: their mascots, Rob and Doug Ford, the darlings of the dimwitted, the bastions of the benighted, the exemplars of intellectual enfeeblement, will live to fight another day. Sun News, favored by those who like their commentary simple and absolutist,

Not one to take the high road, I will state the obvious here. Clearly, the Rob Ford bobblehead is not built to scale. Recommend this Post

One cannot help but wonder if Toronto’s Chief Buffoon, Rob Ford, had been ‘over served’ in some capacity (take your pick of mind/mood altering substances) before making this call to Sun reporter Joe Warmington last night. Recommend this Post

“This comes down to left-wing politics. The left wing wants me out of here and they’ll do anything in their power. I’m going to fight tooth and nail to hold on to my job. If they do for some reason get me out I’ll be running right back. As soon…

Many years ago, the singer Mac Davis wrote and performed a satirical song entitled “It’s Hard To Be Humble,” about a man so impressed with himself that he has no insight whatsoever into what a buffoon he really is. I sometimes think of that song when I ponder the shenanigans
Continue readingPolitics and its Discontents: More on Rob Ford
I hope that I can be forgiven for what might appear to some as either an unhealthy obsession with Toronto’s chief magistrate or an Ontario-centric regional preoccupation. It’s just that I continue to be fascinated by the fact that Canada’s largest city is led by someone so manifestly unsuited for

I wonder if there is anyone within the Rob Ford administration with the courage to tell him to just keep his mouth shut for the sake of Toronto’s rapidly-waning reputation? Recommend this Post

I feel just a tad guilty writing this post today, given that world events are of their usual dire nature, the slaughter of protesting Syrian students by a brutal and repressive regime not the least of them. Nonetheless, I will deal briefly with a more parochial issue, the brutal and

Not that I expected any better of the brazen buffoon wearing the chain of office in Toronto, but Rob Ford once more amply demonstrates that he is not the mayor of everyone in his once-proud city. Recommend this Post

Were I a fully actualized human being, I would no doubt lead an exemplary life, the proud possessor of a heart filled with love for both friends and enemies. Alas, I am not such a person, and so I freely confess at the on-going delight and pleasure I take when

‘Mayoral ineptitude’ is probably only one of the many terms that could be used to characterize Toronto’s Chief magistrate, Rob Ford. Not only has he regularly demonstrated his unfitness for municipal leadership over his inflexible position on public transit (subways, subways, subways), but he continues to embarrass himself and demean

While I know that the selection of Thomas Mulcair is the major topic of discussion today, I shall defer to those more knowledgeable than I and return to a topic of regional interest, but a topic that also, I think, sheds light on the right-wing mentality: Toronto’s Mayor Rob ford.

In a report carried on CBC, Toronto’s monomaniacal mayor issued the following pronouncement regarding support for subways: You are either with us or against us. There is no middle ground. Hmm, now why does that absolutist assertion sound so eerily familiar? Recommend this Post
