“Mr. Barry on the white courtesy phone for Mr. Ford. Paging Mr. Ford…”

A rather odd set of Twitter comments that showed up on my timeline today are now making sense:

The Mayor of the Canadian city of Toronto, Rob Ford, has denied allegations that he has been caught on video smoking crack cocaine.

Although… well, that’s an unkind thought.  Unkind to Toronto, at least.

#rsrh Moonbat life cycle…

…blackshirt anarchist version (via Hot Air Headlines):

Seriously, look at the guy’s shirt after he finished yelling: this is what all those Rage Against the Machine bandanna-fiends are going to look like in 30 years. I could be unkind – and somewhat hypocritical – by harping on the fellow’s weight; but, honestly, the man has some decent oratorical presence. No stammering there at all; a real shame that he’s wasting it on something as puerile as Communism.

Ach, well, if he was smart he wouldn’t be a Commie in the first place.

#rsrh Blackshirts riot at G20 summit.

As usual.

Black-clad demonstrators broke off from a crowd of peaceful demonstrators protesting a global economic summit in Toronto, torching police cruisers and smashing windows with baseball bats and hammers.

Translation: violent goon squads detached themselves from the protective covering of their fellow-travelers in the radical anti-globalization movement and proceeded to go about their usual program of property damage, attempted intimidation, and plausibly-deniable domestic terrorism.  Business as usual, and it’s always fascinating to watch the media fall all over itself to not report that these guys are hardcore Lefties.

You know: South Korea is going to be hosting the G-20 in November.  That’s going to be… messy; the South Korean riot police are not exactly known for being sweetness and light with regard to people throwing things at them, and if the people doing the throwing aren’t actually South Koreans?  Well.  They probably won’t actually shoot anybody.

Probably.
