We have the Honourable Wife-Beater to kick around for a little longer

Well, this blows donkey balls. As you might recall, I wasn't terribly optimistic about this method of getting rid of the Honourable Wife-Beater, but like everyone else, I was hoping. Of the many bad things he's done—like beating his wife, stalking reporters, almost killing people with his driving, making racist and homophobic statements—and the terrible decisions he's made, most notably around Transit City, it remains my hope that when he finally goes down, it will be a) over something bigger than $3,150, and b) as soon as possible before he does any more damage.

Still, kudos to Ruby for doing his damnedest. We salute you, good sir, and your attempt to free us from this shitstain of a mayor.

In other news, holy shit Mammoliti is cray cray. And of course now that his boy is out of hot water, he wants to worm his way back into the mayor's cold, shrivelled heart.

But it's the conspiracy allegations that are making me boggle. YOU GUYS YOU GUYS THERE IS A CONSPIRACY BY PEOPLE ON THE LEFT. He actually said that. Out loud. To reporters.

The prize Mammoliti quote of the day, though, is this (speaking about Ford):

“I told him you have to you’ve got to start acting like a mayor, the sideshows have to finish,” he said. “I said to him you’ve got to start dressing like a mayor as well. I think people want to see that.”

This city. I don't even.

HMPF.

Dammit, I thought... sometimes when it looks as if we are making progress, it's steps back.
And five more CPC Senators appointed today, one of which was kind of elected in Alberta, the other four... well, they can be counted on to breathe and vote in the right direction at the same time, so they'll do.

I hope they're all really old and decrepit.

Going to protest the Liberal Party leadership convention today.

Damn. I think the only way you guys are going to be rid of the arsehole is by staking him through the heart at a crossroads at midnight. I'm sure there's a queue of willing volunteers...

Yes! I volunteer to do this.
