Since entering public service as a city councilor in 2000, Ford has been known for his odd and improper public behavior and comments , a habit that only got worse after he was elected mayor in 2010. Whether he's accosting out-of-towners at a hockey game, offering to help procure OxyContin for a constituent, or railing against streetcars and anti-poverty activists, Ford has consistently tested the limits of "mayoral behavior." In fact, the public servant Ford most closely resembles is the fictional mayor from The Simpsons, Diamond Joe Quimby. Both men are heavyset. Both are often at odds with constituents, colleagues, and the press. And both are prone to saying outrageous things in public. I've prepared a 20-question quiz of quotes from Ford and Quimby. Which mayor said which wildly inappropriate thing? Answers are at the bottom. 1. "Are these morons getting dumber or just louder?" 2. "It's hard to hide 300 pounds of fun." 3. "People don't want to see their mayor stuck in an office all the time, they want to see him right at their door." 4. "We'll blow up our dams, destroy forests, anything! If there's a species of animal causing problems, nosing around your camera, we'll have it wiped out." 5. "Demand? Who are you to demand anything? I run this town. You're just a bunch of low-income nobodies." 6. "Let's call a spade a spade. The left would have taken it and just wanted to spend it on crazy, stupid things like more social programs ..." 7. "Oh my god, I never want to hurt a bike. That's the last thing I want to do, precious little bikes." 8. "I ordered the re-opening of this prison to send a message to the criminals of . If you commit a violent crime in my town, you are going to end up here. To demonstrate what you're in for, I will now strap myself into this electric chair, which was deactivated over 30 years ago, and, I can only assume, still is." 9. "Water is the healthiest form of liquid." 10. "By the way, this woman is not my wife, but I am sleeping with her. I'm telling you this because I'm comfortable with my womanizing." 11. "I'm sick of you people, you're nothing but a pack of fickle mush heads." 12. "Tuesday, Nov. 27, I'm going to be playing hooky from City Hall." 13. "Those Oriental people work like dogs. ... They're slowly taking over." 14. "Now on to the next item, the proposal for putting term limits on public office. All those in favor say, 'I have sex with animals.' " 15. "I'd love to see us sell the zoo and make money on it if we can. ... Keep the elephants here and take it from there." 16. "You don't scare me, that could be anyone's ass. Now beat it! I'm calling the shots." 17. "I will retract the word 'ass.' " 18. "Very well, if that is the way the winds are blowing, let no one say I don't also blow." 19. "You are tampering with forces you can't understand, we have major corporations sponsoring this event." 20. "I'm as clean as the days are long."

Source: http://www.wtva.com/news/local/story/UPDATE-Elephant-pulled-from-Tupelo-show/3Xq46XTMyUKcBbShewQ-Jg.cspx . TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) - The reward to find the person responsible for shooting a circus elephant in Tupelo early Tuesday morning has now jumped significantly. Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi initially offered up to $1,000. Crime Stoppers spokesman Capt. Allan Gilbert tells WTVA.com that Ringling Brothers And Barnum &amp;amp; Bailey Circus has added $10,000. In addition, Capt. Gilbert says the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has offered a $5,000 reward, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has offered $5,000, while Travis W. Childers has added $250. Capt. Gilbert says that brings the reward amount up to $21,250. Police say someone shot and injured the 39-year-old Asian elephant known as Carol shortly after 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. The elephant was being kept on the BancorpSouth Arena property in preparation for the Ringling Brothers And Barnum &amp;amp; Bailey Circus scheduled for this week. Authorities say a white or silver Ford Explorer was seen in the area at the time of the shooting. Police have described the incident as a drive-by shooting. WTVA News has reported that a veterinarian has been caring for the injured elephant. If you have any information on this crime, you are asked to call Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at 1-800-773-TIPS (8477). Late this afternoon, veterinarian Dr. Dennis Schmitt examined Carol and says he located a dime-sized point of entry on the elephant's shoulder. He says the 39-year-old pachyderm is active, mobile, comfortable and being treated with medication. Dr. Schmitt says they will carry Carol to Springfield, Missouri for the next several weeks for veterinary care. We plan continuing coverage on this much talked about story here at WTVA.com and on WTVA News. . . Source: http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20130409/NEWS/304090044/Circus-elephant-injured-Tupelo-drive-by-shooting An elephant with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum &amp;amp; Bailey Circus was injured in an early morning drive-by shooting in downtown Tupelo on Tuesday but is expected to make a full recovery. The elephant, one of several performing with the traveling circus, was in an enclosure outside the BancorpSouth Arena when it was hit by a bullet in the shoulder, said the arena's marketing director, Kevan Kirkpatrick. "We have had the circus once a year since 1995," Kirkpatrick said. "Absolutely this is the first elephant shooting we had." A security guard on the scene was able to provide some information to the Tupelo Police Department, which is investigating but "leads are pretty slim," said Tupelo Police Capt. Rusty Haynes. "We're dealing with a victim that can't talk." The department has been in touch with state and federal wildlife authorities and, because the Asian elephant is an endangered species, the crime will be pursued as a federal offense under the Endangered Species Act, Haynes said. In addition, he said, the federal government might provide reward money for information leading to the conviction of the responsible person or persons. PETA also is offering a reward of $5,000 to help nab the shooter, said PETA spokesman David Perle, who criticized the circus's handling of elephants. Circus staff and a local large-animal veterinarian immediately calmed the large pachyderm after it was shot and provided it medicine. Within 20 minutes, the animal was walking around the pen and eating carrots, Kirkpatrick said. Ringling Bros. and Barnum &amp;amp; Bailey Circus flew in its own veterinarian to follow-up on the 39-year-old female elephant's health. Company spokeswoman Melinda Hartline said "Carol" will be taken to Springfield, Mo., where she'll remain under veterinarian care for several weeks. She is expected to make a full recovery, Hartline said. And the circus will go on as scheduled, with shows set to start Thursday and run through the weekend. In the meantime, city officials have placed an "elephant-sized card" in the lobby of the Convention &amp;amp; Visitors Bureau for Carol that the public is invited to sign. It also will collect donated items for the local animal shelter in Carol's honor. "Tupelo is widely-known for being an extremely safe community for its citizens and visitors," said Mayor Jack Reed Jr. in a statement. "We are shocked and infuriated at this senseless crime against an innocent animal." Tupelo is home to another strange animal occurrence. In 2007, Oliver the cappuchin monkey twice escaped from his pen at the Tupelo Buffalo Park &amp;amp; Zoo and led park and police officials on chases that made international headlines. Oliver was in his pen at 2 a.m. on Tuesday morning, said park owner Dan Franklin, and is not considered a suspect at this time. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7e8_1365547762 dingledd Mississippi - Elephant injured in Drive by Shooting,($21,250 reward mississippi ,ringling,elephants,shot,shooting,elephant,peta,animal,cruelty, Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:48:15 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=667_1363811852 dcdirectactionnews On the 19th of March, Ringling Brothers and Barnum Bailey Circus force-marched the elephants forced to perform in their show from South Capitol Street to the Verizon Center. The elephants were accompanied by handlers in the shadows besides them, brandishing bullhooks used to punish elephants who defy them. According to a former trainer of circus elephants who showed up with a PETA contingent, bullhooks have been declared a deadly weapon by at least one police department. A bullhook has a sharp point on the end like a spear for pushing, and a second point hooked back towards the wielder for pulling. It's kind of like a boat hook except that it is sharpened. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=667_1363811852 dcdirectactionnews Bullhooks brandished at Ringlings elephant parade+interview with former trainer Animal RIghts, circuses, Ringling Brothers and Barnum Bailey, Ringling Brothers, elephants, elephant abuse, animal abuse Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:39:02 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7fb_1364512518 BasicChannel Sadly the most interesting part of this video is not captured.
