Regarding the crack smoking Canadian mayor, the state by state and government corruption/scandals etc...
or something as simple as witnessing a crime and just standing there like an idiot.

Why do people turn their heads? Are you a coward?...or are you just ignorant?
I realize there is an epidemic of painkiller addiction in this country and those people don't count for anything, but really, this quote speaks the truth. That is all.😢

That Toronto mayor is losing it...

Yea..no shit.

TORONTO — The end did not come for Rob Ford, the mayor of this city, when he proclaimed his proclivity for oral sex on live television.

It did not come when the police confirmed that they had a video of him smoking crack, something he had repeatedly denied, nor when he showed up drunk at a local festival, careened equally plastered on a dance floor, or when the local Santa parade told him to please stay away.

It did not even come Monday, during a City Council meeting at which members voted to take away most of his budget and staff while he cantered around the chamber, heckling voters and knocking a City Council member to the floor.

It seems that Mr. Ford, absent a decision to quit, will remain at the helm of Canada??s largest and most affluent city at least until his term ends next year. He says he has far too many phone calls left to make."

I've been following this, and I have to say that this guy is a real piece of work.

Why, he could be one of _our_ pols! 😉

I've been following MANY politicians STILL in office after breaking the law/corruption/drugs/sex scandals. Lee Harvey Oswald would have field day if he was breathing.

But I don't think his sign has much to do with this. Some of the most stand-up guys I know are Gems.

He's a horse's ass. But he's a horse's ass who is the mayor of a major city.

yeah i agree. one of my fave british actors is Hugh Laurie (gemini sun), but this guy sounds horrible.
