Hey, Luke didnt need to be stoned! He was married and had plenty of drugs at home!



I think people exaggerate Ravenstahl's worst attributes. ok, ok, corruption aside (and wasting our tax dollars), i maintain he was not a horrible mayor, nor even a "bad" one.

im not conveniently forgiving the current scandal (which will become greater news some day), but for the sake of argument, putting that aside, he wasnt Masloff, exactly. your city spiraling towards depopulation and bankruptcy, and your baking cookies and talking to johnny carson and being cute and personable. At least Murphy recognized crises.

I was wondering if Rush was actually moonlighting as the Toronto mayor. They are very similar it seems in a lot of ways.

Being downtown most of the weekend and the Pirate game Friday night I saw tons of Toronto fans in town all looking like they were enjoying themselves. Was an extrememly busy weekend in the golden triangle and was fun being down there for all of the activites. Hope all of the Toronto visitors had a great time!
