More ship-jumping: White House press secretary resigns.

Why?! [ Fri Aug 31 2007 12:16 PM ]

Why do they waste the time and man power to bust sick people who are growing a couple plants?! Why don't they spend their time busting meth labs or coke rings? I wish all employees involved with law enforcement were required ot take a course on emotional intelligence!

federal funding [ Fri Aug 31 2007 12:29 PM ]

"his doctor, from the University of Colorado, couldn't write Branson a license for the stuff because CU receives federal funds and she could lose her job if she did."
Remember that, the next time you're considering voting for a Republican or Democrat. Neither of the "big two" parties is running on a platform of eliminating the use of federal tax money as a club against local governments who try to set their own policies.

I'm glad we have our priorities straight. Let's catch all those evil pot smokers as a first priority.

Task-Force Gangsters [ Fri Aug 31 2007 4:36 PM ]

We must understand that these sinister
pot-busting task-forces are ongoing
Criminal Enterprises, and the members
are primarily interested in Stealing the
Good Medicine from usually harmless Good
People, so that the weed can then be Sold
to benefit the cash-flow of the agencies
and the individuals. You have the great
good fortune in ABQ to see rare video
documentation on a few different public
access shows on Comcast ch. 27...
One of those expose's showed the proud,
evil dumb jocks who think they are real
cool to imprison and steal from harmless
good people.

God bless Amerikka [ Sat Sep 1 2007 3:24 PM ]

Bumper record poppy crop in Afganistan expected this year. No doubt encouraged and protected by the CIA and its like to appease the warlords. Taliban had practically eradicated crop.. But HEY thats ok ... It protects me against Saudi bred terrorists that fly planes into buildings. But Osama is a Saudi whose family has ties to Kuwait which is funded by the US and who supports a repressive kingdom... He never was in Iraq.."WMD's?"... Sadaam supported by US with billions while fighting Iran, Yellow alerts, "feelings" from Homeland security, "Mission Accomplished", $3.00 gas, panic in Boston over cartoon figures, no "habeous Corpus" guarentee, torture, secret prisons, "I don't recall", red light cameras, crackdowns, shoes inspected at airports, $52.00 baloney sandwiche and chips meal for the soldiers provided by Haliburten with Cheney connections, old GOP guys in bathroom stalls, 650,000 Iraqi dead, 12 million left to a dog, New Orleans still wrecked, 1 TRILLION dumped towards Iraq, Gitmo.....
Holy Moly I don't smoke the herb but I sure could use it when I watch the news with tears in my eyes.
