WE START AND FINISH WITH HIS ROTUNDNESS AGAIN: Kids, the reason Rob Ford seems ‘out of control,’ is because he IS ‘out of control’
BUT! Embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and his brother, Coun. Doug Ford, will be back on the air in Toronto. Having just lost their weekly talk radio show amid the continuing scandal, the brothers have been picked up by Sun News Network.
The TV show, Ford Nation, will air Mondays at 8 p.m. and will feature guests, including regular Sun News hosts, but no call-in feature.

“God bless Canada, what a gift the Canadians have given us,” Tonight
Show host Jay Leno gleefully said Thursday night in his monologue as he
joked that Ford’s desire to run for re-election despite his admission of
drug use and drinking could just be a “pipe dream.”
“It’s official, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is the best,” quipped Late Night host Jimmy Fallon.
“This guy is unbelievable.”
Ford’s crude comment in response to court documents that contained
allegations from former staff that he once told a female aide he was
going to have oral sex with her was the latest trigger for the late
shows. The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart devoted about six-and-a-half
minutes, replaying Ford’s video tirade in its entirety.
“All of this, the allegations, the intoxicated rant tapes, the crack smoking he believes is excused somehow by his rampant alcoholism, all of this pales in comparison to this next moment,” Stewart said as he set up the latest Ford moment.
“Let that be your last statement, throw down the mic, make that your last sentence of your entire career in public service because that is what we call in my business a closer,” an incredulous Stewart said after showing the video.
”Kind of makes you nostalgic for the crack now, doesn’t it Toronto,” Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report joked about Ford’s denial of not only the alleged sexual comment.
Ford’s tirade also included angry denials at other
allegations contained in the court documents, which referred to police
interviews of the mayor’s former staff and a waiter at a restaurant who
said he suspected the mayor and a woman were snorting cocaine in a
backroom. Another allegation was that the mayor was seen with a woman
believed to be a prostitute, something Ford also denied and indicated he
would be taking legal action against his accusers.
”This has everything you want,” joked Late Show host David Letterman.
“The city council was grilling the guy, it turned out that at
one point he had hookers in the mayor’s office…boy I did not see that
coming,” said Letterman, who devoted his iconic Top Ten List to Ford’s
pregnant pause this week in response to a question from a council member
on whether he purchased illegal drugs.
Ford’s foibles have been a staple for late night hosts ever since word first surface of a video that appeared to show the mayor smoking crack, something he initially denied but later admitted he has done.

FROM THE: Aren’t ya glad we don’t have them here department:
One woman’s Italian vacation
took a turn for the worse when she woke up with pain in her ear one night. She had no way of knowing then that she’d just been bitten by a Mediterranean recluse spider, and that a chunk of her ear would soon be liquefied by the spider’s venom. But that’s exactly what happened, according to a recent report of her case.
The 22-year-old woman soon sought treatment for her pain in an Italian hospital, where doctors
prescribed an antihistamine. But the swelling in her face and pain in her ear didn’t get any better. Once she was back home in the Netherlands, the ear got worse, and portions of it turned black — a clear sign that the skin
and cartilage cells were dead.
The dead tissue made it clear to doctors that the woman had been bitten by a Mediterranean recluse, a spider whose bite is known to destroy skin and underlying fat, causing “sunken-in” scars or “a disfigured ear, if you are very unlucky,” said Dr. Marieke van Wijk, a plastic surgeon in the Netherlands involved in the woman’s treatment.

The president of a museum which teaches that dinosaurs walked
the Earth at the same time as humans said this week that San Diego was
“like Selma, Alabama in the 1950s” because his ministry was denied a
seat on the local museum council.
San Diego Museum Council President Danielle Susalla Deery told KPBS that the reason that The Museum of Creation and Earth fell short of the necessary 21 “yes” votes was because of factors that had nothing to do with its anti-science mission of teaching that the Earth was literally created in six days.
“Like their animal care and the protocol and care of their exhibitions and storage,” Deery explained. “They had a lot of areas that were not in line with membership guidelines. They have a staff member on the board of directors and that’s not good governance.”
“I’m afraid we are being opposed for nothing more than the old prejudice against God,” Cantor lamented.
He likened the museum’s current situation to some of the worst atrocities
in the South during the Civil Rights Movement, when African-Americans
were beaten and arrested to prevent them from exercising their right to
vote.
“It’s like we’re in Selma, Alabama in the 1950s and I want to have a museum on black Americans,” Cantor said. “Do you think I’ll be accepted by the council of museums in Selma, Alabama?”
The Museum of Creation and Earth plans to reapply for membership to the council next year.

WOW, and you thought YOUR marriage was “on the rocks!”
Injuries on the body of a Montana man whose wife is accused of
pushing him to his death off a cliff at Glacier National Park suggest he
was shoved from behind and fell face first into a rocky ravine, U.S.
federal prosecutors said in court documents filed on Thursday.
Federal authorities say Jordan Graham, 22, was unhappy in her new marriage and shoved her husband of eight days off a rock ledge at the national park in Montana during an argument while hiking on July 7.

Jason Pickel, 36, and Darren Black Bear, 45, were legally
married on Thursday night after obtaining a marriage license through the
Cheyenne Arapaho Tribes, a sovereign nation in Oklahoma.
Gay marriage is banned in Oklahoma but the marriage laws of the Cheyenne-Arapaho tribe do not specify gender and only require that one of the pair be a tribal member.
Pickel, who is not a tribal member, and Black Bear said they originally planned to have a small, intimate wedding and did not even plan to send out invitations.
But word of their approved marriage license, which they got earlier in October, thrust the pair into the national spotlight.

TORONTO – Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s jaw dropping use of
explicit language on live television to deny another allegation against
him was once again a heaven-sent gift to late night comics who can’t
seem to get enough of the ongoing saga.
