Romney: oh man, what a jackass. Did he bother talking to anyone who knows anything about health care? Or did he just call up the Cato Institute and ask them what he should do?

(Note, after I wrote that sentence I went and looked at the Cato site, and guess what?

Cato scholar Michael D. Tanner, author of the study, "No Miracle in Massachusetts: Why Governor Romney's Health Care Reform Won't Work," comments on the new plan: "[Romney's] new proposal is a vast improvement, focused on changing federal tax law in order to empower individuals to buy health insurance outside their employer, and incentives for states to deregulate their insurance industry. ...

Guess I was righter than I thought.)

Um, okay. Dude doesn't smoke pot for roughly 35 years, then sucks down an entire joints-worth of '07 bud, is surprised by the fact he becomes "incapacitated", and so it logically follows that today's pot is "like heroin" compared to the low-THC dirt-weed he probably smoked back in the day.

Well, I guess that's about as empirical a study on the subject as you'd be likely to get out of the DEA, so go figure.

What comte said. That guy's a douche.

Anybody catch Rick Steves on NPR this morning? Righteous. The link isn't up yet (as far as I can tell), but it's worth seeking out.

TEXAS is chaning the way it handles pot? I don't believe it. I thought we were years from having a reasonable drug policy (at least with pot) but maybe (hopefully) I'm wrong.

Thats probably good that the crazy religious types show up at Hempfest because I know personally I would only consider that nonsense if I were really really high.

About the city water testing: pretty soon they'll devise a way to just hook up drug testing machines to each toilet or house and then when people take a poop they will know if they've smoked weed. Wow! Terrific! I guess people will just have to pee outside on a "Bush" then. haha. I laugh at my own little puns! I'm so hilarious! Yah, I know I'm just lame, but I have to laugh at myself anyway. Okay enough rambling. blah blah blah. Hi Seattle people. Have a nice day!

Regarding the AIDS conference: I knew being psychotic would come in handy someday! They want wacky ideas! Just ask a crazy person! Maybe they can cure HIV and AIDS! Woo!

Re: Lindsay Lohan. I hope she gets help, but why do I willingly click on links related to her? I'm mad at myself now.
