I just happened across this story by accident this morning while surfing. To me this is just a case of a moron giving marijuana a bad rap.

The guy was creating a disturbance in a bar and was asked by management to leave. He refused, so they called the cops. When arrested, AFTER arguing with the cops, he was found to be in possession of a small amount of pot. Of course NOW it’s because he does drugs. It’s all about the pot.

No, what it is about is the fact that he is a fucking dumbass who just happens to smoke pot, giving the pro-war on drugs idiots something else to point their finger at.

I run a business. If you create a disturbance in my restaurant, you will normally be asked to shut the fuck up. After that, you get asked to leave. If you refuse, guess what? The fucking police are called and you get your ass arrested for criminal trespassing (which he was also charged with BTW). That makes you the fucking dumbass. If you happen to have something on you that you shouldn’t, more your stupidity.

BTW, thanks for the link to the USMJP Libby.

Drug WarRant is one of the sites that are way down at the bottom of my blogroll, because it has been there longer (new ones are added at the top), so I only get there on days when I am starting from the bottom, like today. Anyway, I hate the so-called War on Drugs and support legalization of pot, so I agree with quite a bit that I find over here.

It’s kind of funny, because I don’t smoke (pot) and haven’t in a long time, but I see no good reason for that stopping any other adults that want to.

A jury found Andrea Yates not guilty by reason of insanity. I think everyone knows that she was insane, but shit. She should have to pay some kind of penalty. Apparently she is being committed to a State Mental Health facility with periodic hearings to determine whether she should be released. Bullshit.

Here’s a quick rundown of some of the benefits of the Fairtax.

Why is stem cell research such a big fucking deal to those in power, particularly right-wing Republicans? I am not particularly prone to paranoia and illusions of shadowy figures running the government, but what would happen if we could find cures for some of the diseases that ail us? What if Diabetes were cured for instance? It would severely hurt pharmaceutical companies, since they are not in business to find CURES for diseases. They are in business to TREAT sickness and disease, not to get rid of it completely.

Apparently Saddam, through his lawyer, has written the American people a letter, which can be found here. Damn sure doesn’t change MY mind on anything, and my answer to Saddam is “Fuck You asshole”.

Hell, I could have told you that without having to pay for more research.

Senator Biden shows the rest of the Democrats how to get more of the Indian-American vote. What a maroon.

For the most part, I try to vote libertarian. During the last election, I voted mostly republican, mainly because of what ended up being empty support for the Fairtax Act. I generally just have to laugh at most of the lies that Republicans and Democrats tell as they are trying to run the other side out of office. They are pretty much a bunch of lying sacks of shit. I think that this is going a bit far though. A whole bunch of fucking sheep just believing what they are told to believe.
