Rob Ford Wants to Be the Prime Minister of Canada
(Source) ‘Sorry, kids – I shouldn’t have sworn in front of the kids,’ he said. ‘But after a while, I know what I’m doing is right. I’m serving people. I’m saving taxpayers money. And you know what, I made mistakes, I drank too much, I smoked some crack sometime. What can I say? I made a mistake, I’m human.’
In a separate interview with Fox News, Ford also revealed that his ambitions don’t end with remaining as Toronto mayor and that he wants to be prime minister of Canada.
‘Yes, one day I do want to run for prime minister,’ said Ford.
Rob Ford might be the least self aware person in the history of the universe. Has he drank a little too much on ocassion? Sure. Does he dabble in the crack cocaine game? Of course. Did he imply he eats his wife out all the time at a public hearing calling for his termination? The answer is yes. But despite all that nonsense, he still has dreams. He’s really no different from you or I. Should those small transgressions keep him from climbing the political ladder and becoming the prime minister of Canada? Yes it should. I’ve actually never been more sure of something in my entire life. But I’ve also never rooted for someone to succeed more than Rob Ford. He’s clearly lost his mind, but if running for prime minister means more Rob Ford coverage then I’m ready for the ride. Seatbelt is fastened. Show us what you’re really made of, Rob.

PS-
He’s the hero Toronto deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he’s not our hero. He’s a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Crack-smoking Dark Knight.
Rob Ford Putting the Icing on the Cake with His Latest Video
I wrote yesterday about Blockbuster being the most resilient company ever. Well Rob Ford is the most resilient politician ever. The guy just refuses to quit. First he gets caught smoking crack, now he’s threatening to kill somebody in his underwear. To be honest, seeing Rob Ford in his underwear might actually be worse than death. I’d probably rip my eyes out if I ever saw that. At this point he’s going to have to die before he leaves office, which judging by his health habits doesn’t seem too far away.

Goodbye Rob Ford
“Unless Toronto police is part of the vast media conspiracy directed by the Toronto Star — and many in Ford Nation will cling to this nonsensical notion — the Mayor of Toronto is finished.
Rob Ford has repeatedly lied to Torontonians, deceived his political colleagues at city hall and proven himself totally unfit to lead Canada’s largest city.
That is now obvious from hundreds of pages of police documents released through the courts Thursday morning.
And then there is the bombshell from police Chief Bill Blair, namely, that confirms Toronto Star reports were correct when they claimed the existence of video that shows Ford smoking what appears to be crack cocaine.
Police have a computer hard drive with a copy of the video and Ford’s friend Alexander “Sandro” Lisi (charged with drug dealing) now faces added charges of extortion over the video, Blair revealed.
This is the video Ford refused to comment on because, he claimed, it did not exist and he had not seen it.
Blair, speaking for Torontonians as no one else could on a shocking Halloween morning, said he was “disappointed.”
“I’m disappointed. I know this is a traumatic issue for the residents of this city,” Blair said, adding the matter was of “significant public concern.”
Rob Ford is our creation — all of us.”
Farewell you sweaty, obese, crack smoking maniac. Thr fact that you were the mayor of a major city in this world truly defies all logic. We’ll miss you.

The Insane Mayor of Toronto Is Arm Wrestling Hulk Hogan, Thinks It’s The First Time Hogan Has Ever Been To Toronto
“Mayor Rob Ford, always eager for a political brawl, is pumped to arm-wrestle legendary grappler Hulk Hogan. “Ohhh yeahhhh!” Mayor Rob Ford, mimicking a wrestling battle cry, told reporters when asked about the Friday 10 a.m. “friendly” bout at the Intercontinental Hotel ahead of Hogan’s appearance at Fan Expo Canada. “It’s the first time the Hulkster’s in Toronto, from what I understand,” the mayor said. “I want to thank him for coming. This Fan Expo is going to be amazing. “I don’t know if I’m going to win the arm wrestle, but we’ll see. I haven’t lifted too many weights lately. We’ll see what happens. “My brother’s a real Hulkster fan. He used to sit always in the mirror and do one of these,” the mayor said of Councillor Doug Ford, demonstrating a muscle-flexing pose. “He was always a bit bigger than I was. “I’m really glad that (Hogan) is coming here, it’s going to bring a lot of excitement.” – The Star
The arm wrestling match is a secondary story as far as I’m concerned. So Rob Ford is the same guy who got caught smoking crack and is basically a delinquent version of Boston mayor Thomas Menino. He’s always falling down or doing drugs or profusely sweating for no reason, basically everything but being the mayor of A MAJOR CITY.
I’m willing to let everything he’s ever done slide, because hey, people make mistakes, What I am not willing to let slide is what he is quoted as saying in this article. “It’s the first time the Hulkster’s in Toronto, from what I understand.”
Really? So this isn’t him at Wrestlemania VI, which was held at the Skydome in Toronto:
What about 11 years later. This isn’t him beating the shit out of the Rock at the same exact venue in Toronto?
Look Rob, if you want to be a sweaty mess and snap your ankle after a weigh in or fall down trying to throw a pass do it on your own time. Don’t diss an American icon. I hope he rips your arm clean out of the socket

Matt’s Moron of the Month: The City of Detroit
Wow, already August? Time for me to declare July’s “Moron of the Month”. If you live under a rock the city of Detroit, the whole fucking city, declared bankruptcy. Detroit, the once booming automotive city has taken quite the fall from grace since the days Henry Ford ran the show. Ten “8 Mile” sequels couldn’t help this city now. This is the single largest bankruptcy event (is that a thing? bankruptcy event? Yeah, i’m going with it) in American history. I’m not sure how they are going to get out of there 18+ billion dollar debt; maybe they could start a bake sale.
Also, it’s not bankruptcy unless you DECLARE it, like Michael Scott

PS- Hey Red Wings, you better start winning more Stanley Cups so people have something to live for in Detroit.
Whatchu Know About Gymkhana?
Ken Block Gymkhana 5 San Francisco HQ Recut from André Zickerick on Vimeo.
Ok, so these videos have been around for a while now, but they are still awesome. Ken Block is a mad scientist behind the wheel of his Ford Fiesta. How much convincing at Mayor Taveras’s office would it take to let me do this in Providence? A man can dream.
