It’s easy to blame politics, but let’s be honest about exactly who started and actively perpetuated it all. Remember Ford’s inaugural “pinkos” speech (via Don Cherry, but you know the sentiment is the same)?

“What depresses me the most about right-wing politicians is their belief that they are right and that there doesn’t seem to be any opportunity for dialogue. It’s my way or the highway. I have found that deeply disappointing.

That’s right, Toronto taxpayers, now it’s your fault that Ford is facing opposition at City Hall. All those shiftless lefties are the only ones taking initiative, showing exactly his disorganized and lazy they are (?)

“My advice to the taxpayer would be don’t send us any more activists, don’t send us any more unionists, don’t send us any more cyclists,” Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday said. “Send us some people down here with good common sense who just want to manage the city’s affairs. That’s what’s needed.”

Half journalist, half activist, they spend hours monitoring meetings of city council and its committees. Their main vehicle is Twitter, the social-media tool that is changing journalism and politics with its 140-character-or-less bursts of commentary, argument and wit. They even live-tweet the Ford brothers’ weekly radio show, or #FoBroShow, with minute-by-minute, play-by-play commentary. No mayoral gaffe or mis-statement goes unchecked.

Ford’s buddies at the Sun, the daily tabloid rag of Toronto, call his renewed threats on graffiti a “bleak future for graffiti vandals”, once again demonstrating a clear inability to see the reality of what such idiotic pronouncements produce. Or maybe they can’t read. Or maybe they don’t want to face reality. Either way, it’s quite obvious what his Rotundness’ comments will result in, no matter how much bluster his idiot supporters produce (hot air doesn’t remove paint, believe it or not).

Destroying anything and everything on a wall doesn’t actually work, and neither does calling 911 when we see someone painting on walls. I wonder what asinine stupidity Ford will follow up with this time. I’m also looking forward to seeing all the renewed vigour with which Ford will be represented in graffiti around the city. Seems like everyone but meathead and his hand-up-his-brother’s-ass brother can’t seem to see what’s happening around them. Then again, they can barely tell what’s happening in their own heads so I guess it’s not surprising.
