Toronto mayoral elections
It scares the everloving shit out of me that this man could be our next mayor.
No, not because he's a criminal (though he is). I think pot should be legal and I think DUI should be punished far more harshly than it is. The latter, combined with Ford's stance on cycling*, is particularly toxic. We wouldn't allow an inebriated guy with a habit of drunkenly wandering around and firing off a gun to keep the weapon, let alone run our city. (Or maybe we would. Toronto voters amaze me with their ability to be taken in by the most transparent of hucksters.)
No, it scares me because he's a racist and a homophobe and a buffoon who hates everything that makes this city great. But most Hogtowners are self-hating, so if he loses the election because he used to be a pothead, I'm cool with that too. They nabbed Capone over tax evasion and all that.

"I'll need to see the set list for sectionals, after all. I want them on my desk warm from the laminator at 5pm. If it is one minute late, I will go to the animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love with that kitty cat. And then on some dark cold night I will steal away into your home and punch you in the face." -- to Will in "Mash-Up"
"Those are what I call lazy-makers. They discourage our able-bodied students from getting their proper exercise by using the stairs!"
-- to Will in "Wheels", against his proposal to build wheelchair ramps in school
"I'm gonna donate this [hair] to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, so they can use it to plug the holes in their trailers."
-- To a kid whose hair she's just chopped off in "Hell-O"
