And there you have it. Mayor Rob Ford says yes, I smoked crack. Even better he suggests he may not originally have realized he’d smoked crack because it was “probably in one of my drunken stupors.” So which is worse? Your Mayor smoked crack or your Mayor smoked crack but may not know it because it only happened during his frequent black out drinking binges. So he didn’t or he didn’t? It’s almost like Schrodinger’s Crack.

Ford now says he feels “I feel like I got 1,000 pounds off my back. I felt I had to say it. It is what is. I feel two inches high right now but I needed to deal with it. I am not going to quit or take a leave.”
