rfmcdonaldThe ongoing media controversy surrounding the alleged tape showing Toronto Mayor Rob Ford using crack and saying stupid things is, well, ongoing. With luck we'll actually see the alleged video and have its veracity be judged.
My main reaction to the whole controversy is sadness. Between the squalid idea of Toronto's mayor being addicted to crack (something that I have to say doesn't strike me as unbelievable, given his past alleged substance abuse and demonstrated patterns of erratic behaviour), the crowdsourcing of fundraising by Gawker to raise the needed funds, and the whole thing, it's just ... sad.
And you?
