I feel compelled to issue a statement.
As many of you know I've been having a personal battle with addicting substances. I am therefore announcing that I will be going into a 30-90 day rehab program. I feel that the duties of the PCF Man of the Year Award recipient are important and critical in helping mankind coexist in peace and instigating worldwide intellectual discourse. For these reasons I feel that I would not be able to perform the duties in the case of my winning the honor.
I hope this clears up any speculation as to my previous comments. Wish me well and God bless my hopeful recovery.
