Ralph Nader: Reformer, cão de guarda, Asshole
Setembro 19o, 2008 perto Perry
Os Guys, ouvem-me para fora. Quando eu era mais novo, eu acreditei realmente em o que Nader fazia.
Então eu vi o que Nader era realmente fazer.
Eu penso que fêz seu ponto muito desobstruído na eleição 2000, o sistema two-party dessa América é unfair e não faz nada para a cena política americana mas proliferate agendas partisan. Eu penso que nós temos todo o instruído esse Ralph. Mas o que nós aprendemos também é que os candidatos third-party liberais tais como yourself, faça exame de votos diretamente do partido liberal mainstream, as democratas. E não é como você não está ciente deste.
Você não tem nenhum tiro, o ou seu mate running Bob Barr (o AG anterior que veio para fora de encontro aos usuários de droga incarcerating.) Assim eu estou indo somente dizer uma vez este: Pare de ser um asshole selfish e junte um armário se você quiser a mudança, antes que você dê aos republicanos uma outra eleição.
Eu não penso que eu poderia estar any more desobstruído. Sim, Ralph tem uma direita funcionar. Mas honesta sua campanha inteira é o equivalente de uma queimadura da bandeira em seu resultado da natureza e de fim. Apenas porque você tem uma direita fazer algo, não significa que você tem que exercitar aquele para a direita para a causa de ser um prick.
O AG anterior, Bob Barr, chama-se para que a guerra da droga termine

Aprovação, eu saudo o abillity deste guy para ver onde era errado.
Agradecimentos ao borne de Huffington, eu suponho que a única coisa realmente infeliz sobre esta história é aquela Bob Barr teve um revelation somente em seguida pondo afastado provavelmente milhares de usuários de droga por o tempo federal. Aquela é prisão federal do libra-me-em--burro, colar nao branco - prisão do recurso para Espaço do escritório ventiladores.
Eu sou certo que são mais menos appreciative de seu enlightenment. Muitos da munição boa aqui discutir com as aquelas que como para falar sobre o reliance econômico a indústria do enforcement de lei tem na “guerra em drogas.”
[Update] Beasley admite à participação do potenciômetro de Rookie
Setembro 19o, 2008 perto Alex
Os olhares como Perry eram mortos no ponto, quando chamou o rookie Michael Beasley do calor de Miami junto com Mario Chalmers e Darrell Arthur.
ESPN está relatando aquele Beasley foi multado $50.000 para o incident no programa da transição de Rookie. Não um começo bom, direita?
Still, this kid is 19 years old, and although you’d hope someone who is now worth millions of dollars would instantly start acting like an adult, life doesn’t work that way. Interesting how he originally refused to cooperate with the investigation, but eventually got pressured to admit stepped up and took the blame.
Good call, P.
So It’s Not Just All in Your Head

Potentially troubling news here. The study states:
Researchers from Spain have found a strong and independent link between cannabis use and the onset of psychosis at a younger age.
Naturally, I’m a skeptic, since I know dozens of pot smokers and only a handful are people I would call “disturbed.” On a slightly more serious note, how do scientists take into account all of the genetic factors and more telling, the study only involved 141 participants? There’s 6+ billion people out there, but these scientists thought that 141 was a good enough sampling to get accurate results? Maybe they just ran out of pot and said “Fuck it, let’s go with what we got.”
Either way, not exactly irrefutable evidence here. There have been additional studies that show negative brain effects, but this specific one just doesn’t have a large enough test size.
Like every ingested substance, it helps to wait until after your brain has fully developed before indulging…
Big Worm, Big Perm, Big I-Don’t-Give-a-Damn
September 18th, 2008 by Perry
Just when you thought you’d never see Mark Curry from Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper ever again, he shows up on TMZ with Big Worm from the movie, “Friday.”
I guess some ambitious, go-getting pot peddler came up to Faison Love (Big Worm) in front of like 40 cameras and tried to sell him a gram. Love eventually gave back the bag after giving it a quick sniff and showing it to the camera, but if you watch the video close I think he palms the baggie and pinches a nug.
I wonder how many times a day that happens to that guy, and also, why it never happens to me.
Penn State Players Busted with Ganja
September 18th, 2008 by Perry
I think the most amazing aspect about these athletes-getting-caught stories, which is also the most commonly overlooked aspect, is the achievement of these individuals. I don’t mean their athletic performances specifically, but I mean their ability to do so AND get high. We can all agree that marijuana is not a performance-enhancing drug, right? In fact, you could make a strong case for the exact opposite. Most of the people I know who get high just sit around and play video games. Not many of them could lead Penn State in sacks.
Now They’re Just Getting Lazy

It appears that breaking down doors and destroying property is way too much work these days. Let’s streamline for efficiency. Sheriffs in the San Bernadino National Forest are now sweeping the area with nets which can hold an average of 200 pounds of ganja.
The spokeswoman for the department said it was normal to do these types of sweeps April through October when the conditions are best for outdoor growing. It really boils down to, don’t grow outdoor in a field you don’t own. It’s never safe. They’ve got cameras, nets and lots of free time because they have no winnable strategy for the war on drugs, so be careful America.
RIP: Richard Wright, Founding Member of Pink Floyd [1943-2008]
September 16th, 2008 by Alex
Today is a sad day indeed…
Richard Wright, a founding member of Pink Floyd (one of the best bands in the history of music), has died.
I’m a huge Pink Floyd fan, so this one really sucks.
My Dad first introduced me to their epic sounds and they’ve been at the top of my playlist ever since. I was lucky enough to see Pink Floyd perform in Giant’s Stadium, New Jersey for their Division Bell tour. It was fucking amazing.
They had this massive stage, the trademark gigantic trampoline overhead with all types of imagery being displayed, and some of the craziest props and light work I’ve ever seen. During a song from Animals, a massive inflatable pig appeared out of the stage and into the crowd. When they were playing a track from The Wall, a life-sized plane came from above the stadium, guided by a steel wire and other safety gear, and shot through the air, exploding in the empty seats behind the semi-circular stage.
Then for the finale… man it was crazy… a gigantic disco ball appeared from the stadium floor, in the center of the crowd, and rose above everyone, then hundreds of lasers focused on it as the music pulsated, bathing the entire stadium in color. It was intense.
So, back to the point, this is a rough one to write. Pink Floyd are one of the most influential bands in the history of music, and this is just another reminder of the un-interrupting flow of time. We’ve lost a small chunk of music innovation forever.
Rest in peace Rick, I’m listening to Animals right now and hoping you enjoy the great gig in the sky.
