What’s happening August 20, 2010:
C’mmooon, we’ve all been there. . . a couple of, um, litres of wine, a headlight-less night drive in a foreign country, a conviction for driving under the influence, a childish fit of throwing our wallets on the ground and uttering “take me to jail.” Memories. Memories to hang onto forever – unless you’re Rob Ford, whose mind continues to astound. He forgot about the pot he had on him that night, and gave himself the lesser charge of failing to provide a breathalyzer when he was really just driving under the influence. What a classy guy. At least he didn’t ask the cop if he wanted to go to Iran to get raped and shot.
