Ha ha, of course I do. I think I'll keep the typo though. It creates an interesting image. Actually no one knows what was in that pipe. not even the mayor.

Meanwhile, he just made an announcement.

AND IT WAS:

that he was sorry. Really sorry. In fact, he was really, really, really sorry.

And he's not going to quit.

He promises he'll behave himself from now on.

No more public drunken stupors. When he ended his press conference with "God bless Toronto," many people laughed.

You've got to be pretty drunk to forget if you've smoked crack. Sounds like it's the booze Torontonians might be more concerned about.

Wow the NYT, cool. He can sure fill a picture, eh? I'll tell you what Torontonians are concerned about.

One of the guys in this picture with the mayor got murdered shortly after the information came out about a video of the mayor smoking crap [sic]. The mayor's driver/dealer was arrested on charges of extortion around trying to get the video back.

This is a murder investigation which many people think might track back to the mayor's office. Just sayin'.

Note to self, never smoke crack with the mayor.

Wow. This guy doesn't know when to quit, does he? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4siKr6qY8w

It just goes on and on and on. Last week the Globe and Mail's headline was "Another Day, Another Apology." I think that will be their headline again tomorrow. Another Day, Another Apology III.

We are living in a really bad reality show and praying that someone will turn it off.

Is that the right link? I'm only getting Bob Dylan updates.

Hahah, fuck. Hang on. Yeah, don't know how that happened.

Dylan's being sued by Croatia as well and now you're entirely caught up in what flagamuffin read tonight.

I can't figure out if those three guys around him are currently getting mad amounts of cred from the homies or if they're currently completely ashamed to be alive.

I'm thinking the murder part is trumping the fun-cred part. Perhaps they're building a coalition with the councilfolk in the nearby suburbs (for example, the suburb out by Pearson Airport).

Not from Toronto and there's no article on this post so I have no idea what you're talking about; I just took the picture at face value.

Start here.

This is making the recent San Diego mayoral scandal look like angel food.

I've been enjoying BoingBoing's coverage, if only because 'laughable bumblefuck' is such a great phrase.

I like him.
