Following the arrest of his druggie, wife-beating buddy, the Toronto police have formed a special squad to investigate the Honourable Wife-Beater and his sketchy associates.

That was what the homicide detective was doing there when they arrested Lisi, I guess. He's heading up the squad.

Toronto cops, who are corrupt as all fuck, have had a record in the past of covering for Ford; he publicly breaks the law and they never charge him. There's a strong chance they have the crack video and are sitting on it. It's likely that the purpose of the investigation is to clear him, but then again, there's a chance that he's actually done something so serious that they can't cover it up anymore.

On an unrelated note, I learned how to make animated gifs, so here's one of Alex Jones in a Gorn mask and a top hat ranting about fluoride and Obamacare:

The whole video is worth a watch.

Guys, there is so much crazy in the world that sometimes I feel completely sane.

I love you.

Also what does "fight the poison tree with pokemons" mean? I mean it seems to be a tag for "somebody somewhere is making negative amounts of sense", but is it from a thing?

"Whenever in doubt: think Myrna Loy. She was witty, she was pretty, she wore great hats." Quote from a long gone copy of American Vogue with tips on what to do if one finds oneself all alone on a cliff at night in the Grand Canyon, left there by BF.
Personally,
besides the Chateau Margaux 1893 give or take a few years that I drink for peace; I also read Waugh. He never fails to make me feel completely sane.
Oh, and there is always [livejournal.com profile] theboringclub for the ever doubtful. We will bore you (more)! Yes we can.

It looks kind of like, at the start of his term, TPS figured Ford was on their side, and that a quid pro quo thing would happen. Then Ford and Blair started fighting publicly about the budget, and it started seeming more like a game of chicken, where both sides had ammunition against the other; Ford could hurt the TPS budget-wise or fire Blair if TPS didn't keep his messes as quiet as possible. Then Ford lost control of council, his messes got bigger, and TPS seems to have made the switch from "Holy shit, this guy's an idiot!" to "Holy shit, this guy is a Criminal!"

Ford's no longer "one of the good guys" who should be "looked after" by TPS. He's now a target, a "them" for TPS' us vs. them mentality. They've been working at this for a while, clearly, but seem to be waiting until they actually have a solid case before they actually take a swing at the Fords.

Except that if the TPS win this, no one will attack it until Blair is gone, and them maybe some more. Rob Ford means immobilism that will go, the TPS is evil that's there to stay.

But yeah, Ford sticking to his cut-the-gravy ideology working for us? Wee!

It's worth noting that the Cessna was buzzing Ford's _mother's_ house. The "family compound". Given what the Globe & Mail reports about brothers Doug and Randy, and what Don Peat of the Sun recalled about Rob Ford Sr., the police should be looking for a Ford-family criminal organization.

Rob Ford has admitted he wasn't enthusiastic about the label business. So presumably his family pushed him into some harmless activity, like being city coucillor. Then I guess they wanted control of police, to protect their labels, drugs (& guns?) business, so they stood Rob up for Mayor. The whole thing is making more sense to me now.

I knew a guy once who believed that fluoride in the water was a fascist conspiracy. I was like "can I call you General Jack T. Ripper?"

he was kind of offended that I didn't take it seriously. He was like "but a bunch of studies say..." I don't think he really understood statistical validity.

(this was a guy who, due to a horrific childhood, never had much of a formal education. He didn't even know who Jane Austen WAS.)

I think the line in Millay is "The world's so full of sons of bitches/I felt downright conspicuous."
