Life tends to throw curveballs every once in a while, so I try to stay prepared. However, something that no one could prepare me for was this video of Tucker Carlson laying a verbal smackdown on the ultra-conservative congressman, Rep. Mark Souder.

This clip is great on many levels:

• It’s always fun to see a political hot-air bag sputter out total bullshit answers to very straight forward questions
• Tucker’s smug expression during the majority of the interview had to be infuriating for the congressman
• Tucker admits to knowing “many” casual pot smokers and flat out tells the congressman he is wrong

I’d feel bad for Mark Souder, but he’s brought this on himself. It’s crystal clear that he is the result of when political agendas and rhetoric overtake the rational, thinking mind.

Even Marc Emery has a bone to pick with this guy.

The Marijuana Policy Project created their latest ad to put a face on the normal, non-violent Americans that are put behind bars as a result of marijuana arrests.

Check out the numbers behind the ad to really understand the simple (yet powerful) point that the MPP is trying to get across.

Unfortunately, it seems the ad has been rejected for publication.

Looks like the folks at NORML have been brainstorming new ways to get their message out.

I like it.

I Don’t Have Any Marijuana: This one pretty much sells itself. A fine example of the human race brought to us courtesy of the show Cops. One thing that did catch my eye was a comment below this video:

Smoking pot doesn’t make you stupid, but “stupid” people smoke pot. You can’t blame pot. People are in charge of themselves. Pot has not made this man unintelligent, as much as people want to believe that’s the cause. That logic is a falacy.

Looks like there’s hope for humankind after all.

Cardboard House Art: An interesting photo set of artwork on cardboard shelters from the mid-90’s in Shinjuku, Japan. The combination of inspiring art and the sad back story explaining how it was all wiped away makes for an unique read. [via Pink Tentacle]
