Advice for the Fords

[Midnight Blue]

Actually, it is all our own fault (meaning Robbie and I, and other fellow and laddies, Conservatives).


Sure, being Conservatives, we share a heavy responsibility --- having to protect the World from Liberals and Socialists (not to mention, Communists) --- but why can't we have fun on weekends too?


Sure, we set a higher standard, but why does everyone get ticked off when we let our hair down?

As far as I'm con-cerned, the weekends are our own time.

As long as we show up for work on Monday, then what we do in our social life (yes, we have social lives), is nobody's freaking business.

Besides, Robbie, and I, are Football fans. Don't expect us to have the same resilience from stupidity, that, say, a Badminton, or Tiddly-Winks fan, would have.

Charge the net, Sir ! If you take down the whole front row of Titties, then others will step up to take their place.


Ka' Pla !

But here's the thing -- Ford has been doing this on taxpayers' time, not his own time. He has been out of city hall running around for clandestine meetings with a drug dealer on weekdays when he is listed in his itinerary as on "constit visits." He has left city council meetings to attend high school football games, and furthermore he has required some of his employees -- paid by taxpayers -- to stop doing work for the city and instead do work for his high school team. He has had at least one massive drinking binge in his office at city hall. Forget the crack, forget the consorting with gang members and drug dealers, forget the death threats, forget the admission of an out-of-control drinking problem -- he has not been doing what you and many others thought you were electing him to do. He has not even been going to work much of the time. "As long as we show up for work on Monday" -- Ford more often than not either does not show up for work at all or rolls in for an hour or two around noon hour.

[Midnight Blue]

Hmmm. I had never heard before that his drinking was causing him to lose time from work.

If this is the case, then he should definitely take some time off from work.

To catch up on sleep. This is what I would do for 7-8 hrs., a day, if I had the chance, and no immediate felines (real or imagined), requiring constant and immediate servicing. At least she and they have intangibles, that probably can, not be even imaginded, by anyone below level 47.

You are a unique guy to say the least Midnight.
We agree on one thing and that's The Toronto Argonauts.
I wouldn't care what political party Ford is a member of he's SCUM! Keeping taxes down makes him the best mayor ever? Pretty simplistic and very narrow minded views held not only by Midnight but all of the rest of the fools who vote for Mr. Buttplug. The Conservative Party hit the Crapper with they tied asses with The Reformers and ditched the Progressive end of things.

I read that he was saving the taxpayers somewhere to the tune of 100 million over 5 years. Let's take a very conservative estimate that there are 2 million taxpayers in Toronto. That works out to about $10 a year per person. Don't spend your $1 a month all in one place people. I'm sure user fees on many things lost by making a lot of things that were once government funded now private, will more than make up for the buck a month savings his great visionary saved the people of Toronto.

Of course, if his family business was to somehow benefit from scratching the backs of the private companies he has contracted, then I guess it was all worth while.

The Fords should prepare to fell some huge cedars for his casket as Rob has one or two years left on that heart.

LOL !!! - and here i wuz, thinking from all your posts here, that you were some sort of cool partying dude who happens to like football; but your're a conservative (small or big C - don't matter = same basic thing) ??? Wow - just wow !, and LOL again. Whatever.

Midnight as a conservative surprises me too, OV! I can't agree with you on the Ford issue, Midnight, but you never cease to entertain.

Throw Rob Ford out, i have just put my "Midnight Blue for Mayor" sticker on my car!!
Give em shit Dude!!!!!

LOL...The only problem I have with that is the misconception on his part that if you're not a conservative than you must be a communist. Isn't that in a way communist type thinking? "If you're not with me, than you are against me". No democracy whatsoever in that type of thinking. For a man that seems well spoken as Midnight does, that reeks of the illiterate ramblings of a Don Cherry.

[1argoholic]

I'd swear that Midnight Blue and Ping where the same guy but Ping isn't a Ukrainian. They both are unique dudes who like the non stop party, heavy rock and chicks. Midnight have you ever tossed Mr Freezes at an Argo game?

Speaking of Don Cherry, I watched him for the first time this season last night hoping that he would say something about his hero Rob Ford but, unfortunately, he did not.

Always a pleasure to surprise you OV, Sir.

Yes, we Conservatives (and conservatives) like to party!


The tradition goes way back to Sir John Alexander MacDonald.

The first Prime Minister of Canada. A Conservative, of course.


Cheers !

Thank you, Ravi !

Thanks, Argo57 !

Though I think I would be better suited as a drinking advisor, to Mayor Ford.

Actually, he has done all of his boozing (and smoking) in his private life and moments.

My advice to him would be, to not allow phone cameras, into his parties.

Or at least to try to remember, that they can always be there.

Best to seriously drink at home, in a dark closet.

I didn't say or imply that, Angelo.

More importantly, I honestly don't think that way.


We live in a Democracy. We have our solid right-wingers, and your solid left-wingers.

But elections are usually decided by the "swing-voters" in the middle.


Our ability to humanize, or de-humanize others and ourselves, may swing a few extremists in either direction, but in the end, common sense will always win out.


But all is fair in Love, War, and Politics.


And I happen to truly admire, Mr. Don Cherry, and what he has to say.

I am truly honoured with the comparison to Ping, 1Argoholic. Thank you.

And yes, I did once try to toss Mr. Freezes at an Argo game. It was at the old Exhibition Stadium, but the dude must've weighed over 300 lbs., so I only tossed him about three feet.

Drinking or smoking in private offers no protection from scrutiny if you then go to a gala ball/street festival/bar on St. Patrick's Day/Leafs game/etc., completely out of it.

I totally agree.

How about last year at Taste Of The Danforth when Robbie was as drunk as a college dude at Spring Break in a huge packed street festival.

Heh heh. Just one of the boys, who happens to be Mayor.

Cheers !

I guess I've always hated that type of crap. I cut a buddy loose years ago because he'd talk like Rob Ford about our other buddies girlfriend. I can swear like a landscaper but I do have some class. Ford is a flat out loser. I've lost much respect for the former boroughs who are the ones who obviously vote nummy in.

Still feel that way, Midnight? Do "the boys" speak in public about sex acts they commit with their wives? Do they admit to driving drunk?

If you're riding with a biker gang they would Paul.
