Wait, I thought those racists at the KKK Light were busy keeping the southside in the dark?
Monday needs more race baiting!!!
It really says something about our nation that our largest cash crop is marijuana yet we won’t acknowledge it. Double standards? Some weird religion inspired denial of pleasure? Hypocrisy, dare I say?
I’ve heard that porn is also our most profitable industry. Does anyone have any stats on that?
So pot is our most profitable crop, porn may be our most profitable industry and both are either illegal or considered shameful by some. You just have to laugh at the madness of it all.
I love that Ahmadinejad's party is called "The Sweet Smell of Service".
The most lucid aspect of the marijuhuana article is the suggestion that it be rescheduled. The idea that it is as dangerous as HEROIN?!?! No possible medical use?!?! It is shameful that in 2006 the suits refuse to acknowledge the reality...
I've talked to a few ex-congressman of both parties who say pot should be legal for adults, but they said it would be political suicide to bring it to the floor.
While Gilbert was scoring 60 points over the weekend, Husky Pride was on the loose in Madison Square Garden! Nate Robinson was in the thick of a full-on brawl. Three cheers for Washington and the NBA!
I do believe it is a stretch to call it a travesty that 200k people still don't have power, particularly in the suburbs of Seattle, where people commute in their Hummers all day long every day, burning fossil fuels, heating the globe, changing the weather patterns, and reaping the consequences.
so hummer, if they were poor minorities would you be singing that same tune? why is it okay to gloat over and ridicule the misfortunes of hundreds of thousands of people sometimes but not others?
Hey Hummer,
Guess what? Not all of us are super-rich like you and can afford to buy a home in Seattle. Some of us living on the eastside take the bus into work. In my neighborhood, there's a bunch of old people trying to stay warm. The houses are freezing cold.
So fuck you, dumbass.
Hey Hummer Hummer
I second that hearty "fuck you, dumbass."
I live on the Eastside and work in Seattle; have a crappy 15 year old Toyota; recycle and have two cold kids under 12. So why do I deserve this again?
How many deserving people are you letting campout in your fossil-fuel burning house? Jerk.
How the cloned dog guy still able to produce results when he is suspended from the university and under trial?
If weed is the number one cash crop in the States, why can't I find it when I need it?
Part of our problem is we fail to understand the connection between our trade deficit and pot being our 2nd largest cash crop.
In Canada, pot has always been not just their number 1 cash crop, but the largest export - if we want to win the capitalist competition, we need to fight fire with fire and decriminalize, and corner the world markets. No longer should we permit Afghanistan to be the number 1 world exporter ...
USA! USA! USA!
Come on, join in with me now!
USA! USA! USA!
Since there's no Sport's Report today, the Seattle Times has great articles about
1.the terrible lives of ex-professional football guys and
2. ex-tennis star Andrea Jaeger and her new-found life as an Episcolpalian nun!
elswinger: That's what I'm screaming!
Eli Lilly Zyprexa scandal
Zyprexa off label promotion scandal is all over the news now.
Lilly drug reps are alleged to have called their marketing ploy,"Viva zyprexa".
Eli Lilly zyprexa cost me over $250.00 a month supply out of my own pocket X 4 years and has up to ten times the risk (over non users) of causing diabetes and severe weight gain.
Zyprexa which is only FDA approved for schizophrenia (.5-1% of pop) and some bipolar (2% pop) and then an even smaller percentage of theses two groups.
So how does Zyprexa get to be the 7th largest drug sale in the world?
Eli Lilly is in deep trouble for using their drug reps to 'encourage' doctors to write zyprexa for non-FDA approved 'off label' uses.
The drug causes increased diabetes risk,and medicare picks up all the expensive fallout.There are now 7 states (and counting) going after Lilly for fraud and restitution.
Only 9 percent of adult Americans think the pharmaceutical industry can be trusted right around the same rating as big tobacco.

This "dumbass" would just like to remind you that the power outage has been described as a travesty. To respond: 1) If they were poor minorities, it would be a travesty (see, e.g., New Orleans). Nobody was gloating--just pointing out that it isn't a travesty. It's nature. 2) Fuck you back. Super-rich. Ha! Power was out everywhere-still not a travesty. Take the cold and weary two miles to the nearest shelter/hotel/restaurant/shopping mall, etc. We don't live in Siberia. 3) Fuck you back. I didn't say you deserved it. I said it wasn't a travesty. Perhaps your children will appreciate the plight of the billions around the world who don't have electricity, running water, or civil rights. See, e.g., China or, better yet, Iraq. And I've had refugees all weekend, thank you very much.
Simply put, it is not a travesty that we have been at the mercy of the wind. The travesty is that we take these conveniences for granted or as entitlements, just like our Hummers, our fossil fuels, our way of life, and we are self-righteous when something as uncontrollable as nature has zapped them away.
P.S. If you don't drive a Hummer (or the equivalent), go kick the ass of your neighbor who does. He or she is to blame, among others.
Actually, hummer-hummer, according to the denotative meaning of the word you're the travesty: To make a travesty of; parody or ridicule.
