The Mixed Martial Artist And The Crack Smoking Mayor

Rob Ford

Rob Ford

We all knew around here Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was in trouble when even dog-loyal right wing newspapers like the Toronto Sun and National Post began — in very modest tones — suggesting that the confirmed crack smoker was probably not a good leader of North America’s fourth biggest city right now.

Through it all, though, there was one acquaintance of Sarah’s who maintained a steadfast if often self-aware and trollish support for the mayor — UFC fighter Claude Patrick.

As such, Sarah talked to Patrick about Ford for Fightland. To read the article go here.

Brittney Palmer, UFC Octagon Girl, Renaissance Woman

Brittney Palmer

Brittney Palmer

To the best we can tell, when the UFC linked to Sarah’s story about Octagon Girl Brittney Palmer’s paintings on their Facebook page it became the most “liked” story she has ever done.

And what’s to hate? It’s an interview with a woman who wears short shorts as a profession talking about how she makes paintings of Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger.
