Our Mayor Rob Ford is at it again, drunk on video sporting a Jamaican accent while talking to locals, badmouthing our police chief. Doug Ford was in usual full denial mode, claiming his brother had not fallen off the wagon despite videotaped evidence. Lying to the public is a Ford brother trait. These two clowns have no trouble uttering bold face lies at the drop of a hat. They are serial fibbers and tattle tails that rat out enemies and the press without any shame. You have to wonder if Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak has any trouble with Doug Ford carrying the PC banner in Etobicoke in next year's election? Worst case is Dougie wins and the Queen's Park press corps has a field day with the least honest man in politics.
I will give Rob Ford credit, he does seem to have a genuine rapport with the Caribbean community. He does hang out in areas that silk suit lefties would fear to tread. Much like his coaching of troubled youth Ford does have a connection with some of the tougher neighbourhoods in the city. You won't see Michael Layton or Adam "No Fun" Vaughan hanging out is these parts.
Tomorrow I reach the half way point of my 50-day challenge. I have been alcohol free, eating right and getting plenty of exercise. The weight loss appears to be slow but in fact I have been dropping weight slowly but steadily. The second waive of the so-called Arctic Vortex has hit the city hard. It has been difficult to walk in shockingly low temperatures. I have been Mall walking and using the treadmill. One of my fellow building residents, Peppermint Patti, has been hogging the treadmill running daily marathons, wrongly thinking that hours on the treadmill will mask homely features and a dull personality. Sadly her lone accomplishment is to force me to seek exercise elsewhere.
I was forced to purchase long johns to endure the Arctic conditions. I have to say that my first pair of long underpants since childhood have been a saviour. I'm now an advocate of long, lower body under garments. Next on my list maybe a ski mask. Or at least a Mexican wrestling mask.
