So, according to Rob and Doug Ford, Rob isn't a homophobe, he's a spendaphobe.
Rob Ford's own actions related to pride in the not so distant past (refusing to attend, trying to stop the city from flying the pride flag for example) speak quite clearly to where he stands with respect to gay rights.
However, that isn't the point of this post. It is the ridiculous moniker of "spendaphobe" that needs to be talked about.
Typical of what we've come to expect from conservative politicians in the last decade, this is nothing more than a piece of jingoism. It's a meaningless term designed to deflect attention away from the issue at hand.
Rob Ford spends ... often like a drunken sailor, and most of his claims of saving the City of Toronto billions of dollars are largely lies. Further, Ford's conduct over the last year and a bit have demonstrated repeatedly that the man is a compulsive liar. Almost every time he has been confronted with his own misconduct, he has lied to Canadians.
So, as a voter in Toronto, would you believe his latest round of denials?

'Gibbering Mouther'
Characteristics and habits:
The gibbering mouther is not regarded as an evil creature, but in order to sustain its mad self, it must feast upon the bodily fluids and sanity of mortal creatures, preferably intelligent ones. It attacks by spitting strings of protoplasmic flesh which end in a mouth and one or more eyes at opponents, which then bite them, causing both acid and blinding damage. When it has defeated an opponent, it swallows them whole, and then proceeds to suck the bodily fluids and sanity. It is possible for the victim to cut their way out.
Having so many eyes, gibbering mouthers are difficult to sneak up on.
Gibbering mouthers can speak Common, but seldom speak anything other than mad babble and gibberish.
They are regarded as neutral in alignment, but have distinctly evil habits.
Powers and abilities:
Gibbering mouthers can produce a constant gibbering that confuses all creatures within 60 feet. They can also change nearby ground (whether earth or stone) to the consistency of quicksand. The mouther can move unimpaired through the quicksand.
A gibbering mouther can loose a stream of spittle that ignites on contact with the air, temporarily blinding creatures within 60 feet.
Society:
Gibbering mouthers are solitary creatures and do not have sufficient intelligence to form any kind of society.
