Ford has a temper problem - talk to some of the kids he coached on football teams. It would be like having Matt Foley as mayor, but worse.

My bad on that choice of words. I didn't really realize as I wrote them that I was suggesting guilt.

I can't stand the guy, but he didn't "get off". Charges were dropped due to lack of merit.

I will say, though, in Torontoist's defence, that I wanted to write an article myself about Ford getting off, but didn't get a chance to yesterday. (I wrote the original post.)

andrew: Pandering is available to those who seek it. To get some apply for a position at the TTC, TDSB, The City Works Dept. or run for council. I've never read any Orwell so I didn't quite catch the reference. That post is the result of my usual quick and sloppy writing; if I had time to plagiarize I probably would have.

I want to join the Forces of Fiscal Irresponsibility. I hear you get a badge and a decoder ring. I just can't tell if they are villains or heroes. It would be better than my work experience in three unionized shops. I've never been pandered to by any crony of Miller's, socialist or otherwise, and I for one am just sick and tired of it. Where's my pandering?!! I want my pandering! Pandered to. Whatever. Pickle Toes, read Orwell again. Please learn to write sentences that aren't copied from bad writers.

Besides, Rob Ford is an asshole and he not afraid to admit it.

Torontoist is a blog, not a newspaper. Repeat until you understand.

The attacks on Rob Ford are endless. Upon hearing that he was being charged, Torontoist posted an article with a rather bold cartoon. The report of his exoneration, however, receives hardly a paragraph. Evidence of Torontoist's liberal bias? I think so! When will the writers see fit to criticize the real dead weight on council? Namely, Mayor Miller and his socialist cronies who do nothing but pander to unions and the forces of fiscal irresponsibility. ROB FORD FOR MAYOR

We need platform doors on the busier subway stops but unfortunately can't have them until automatic train operation signalling is done (2015 or so)

I'm sure the 77 million cameras will get the shover identified any second now.
