''I think Rob Ford is awesome. He finally put to bed the notion that humans are capable of choosing their own leaders. I'm prepared to allow a mathematical algorithm to select leaders at random from the phone book now. If you look at the past 100 years (including the past 5) it cannot be any worse than what we have selected for ourselves.''
