I thought Canada was an oasis of enlightenment here in North America--how did this schmoe get elected?

AC - I think he and your dad would agree on this particular issue:

Anti-immigrant politician invokes SOAS to save his bacon

Crumbum - I think you're right, but I'm finding myself way more upset than I thought I'd be about it. I think I'm just depressed that he seems to be what the city wanted - like, people actually VOTED for him! A lot of people! That's fucked!

Our last mayor had to handle a city that was in pretty rough shape, budget- and otherwise, and he did his best with it but I think because he wasn't able to fix everything immediately (which would have been impossible) everyone has completely swung around the other way. Ford got in on a platform of "respect for the taxpayer" - his big slogan thing was about "stopping the gravy train." Which I guess people were into the idea of. We'll see how that actually ends up working out, though.

I'm jealous of Calgary - how come they get this guy: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/story/2010/10/19/calgary-election-mayor.html and we get this guy: Rob Ford's Maturity

Why--speaking as a citizen of the US, this has an uncannily familiar ring to it!

Jesus Christ, what is that HORRIBLE song that samples "Werewolves of London" and "Sweet Home Alabama"? I haven't despised a big ubiquitous hit this much since "Beautiful."

it's called All Summer Long by Kid Rock.

Oh.  That's not very current then, huh?  For some reason I've heard it three times in the last couple of days.  Really awful song.

[Steve of Bloomington]

Tom mocked the Kid Rock song at length around the time it was out. I haven't thought of or heard it since then.
