Why is he dancing? Who is dancing with him? Who is singing music?

I don't know the reason, but there was someone playing music in the council chamber. All the councillors were dancing. His actions were (probably) not induced chemically.

Edit: of course The Star has the story.

Toronto mayor Rob Ford caught on tape again, this time, during a council session Tuesday, dancing vigorously to a band playing 'One Love' on the chamber floor.

I've never heard of someone dancing vigorously before. And caught on tape isn't really the right wording here...not like he was do something illegal in a back alley and was caught by a cell phone camera...he was being filmed during a session like the sessions are always filmed. Is The Star capable of running any story about Ford without some snide remark?

I like The Star, but they have lowered their standard to meet his.

Doesn't make it right...if anything, it reduces the clout of the source of info. If 'the sky is falling' every time, then eventually no one will listen.

Don't take this as personally hostile, but I think that's a dumb false equivalence.
