As the great Carlos Rossi once said

"I'd could talk about it, but I'd rather drink it"

In all seriousness though, if you really do want a safe high weed is your better option, although I am pretty biased, perhaps you can tell from my name.

I think the organic thing is a red herring. We need to work on a sustainable lifestyle, which will probably include organic food and drink, but that isn't the goal.

Also, why is every editors choice comment from a self proclaimed wine dealer? Are you trying to write an article or sell wine?

Not for sure

but isn't the Nov 5 thing celebrated in England as the day their system survived?

I like wine with my meal too, but, an equally enjoyable experience is smoking beforehand. It makes the food taste better as well. I would take that and water over wine with my meal if I had to choose.

Then why can't I hear it?

And why isn't it very good?

And why did they release those last couple albums?

And why did they come back?

And why isn't it very good?

Really?

Because I want to sell my wii, the only reason I haven't is because I got it as a gift from my mom. Seriously, there are maybe games that I would want to rent, but no games i would want to own.

I am also kind of holding out for the mario sports games. If Tennis and Kart don't come out soon/ blow me away, the wii is going.

Deadspin

They basically decompose the sports drama or cause drama for the original creatures, the media. This is all done for comedy, but it also add to drama, obviously. However, look at their actual coverage of last weeks conference championship games, or most other sporting events, and you can see a passion that does not exist with ESPN or A.P. reports. I am also a fan of this column and respect the questions you wrote, but I feel like maybe readers who haven't read Deadspin..wait, probably not to many out there. Well if you are out there, check it out at least. There is sports drama, but also some of the best sports news on the web.

He has run for president twice now...

just sayin'. He is also a vegan, and even though I am a lowly vegetarian, that earns him points in my book. I am not gay, but I completely support gay marriage. I also support marijuana legalization. All of these made Kucinich my man in 2004. This time though, with him dropping out early (for a good cause, read the machinist about NH voting) I had to vote Obama. I spent a good 10-15 minutes in the booth (luckily Oklahoma isn't too busy) and eventually went with him. And guess what, I was so disappointed in myself I didn't tell my parents or friends who I voted for until a couple hours had past. Ugh. At least you care enough to vote, that is what I am telling myself.

Also, Kucinich was mayor of Cleveland when their river caught on fire. That is mainly just funny to me now, and I am too young to know what happened, but, well, it isn't that appealing.

Southern Oklahoma in August with no A/C

Last August I moved in with a friend behind on his bills. I was graduating college in December and this was the only place I could get for that short of a time. At the beginning of that August, I took a friend to San Francisco. We stayed at his temporary place (which ended up being permanent), which, for the four days we were there, housed a friend who had previously moved there, a friend we picked up in Colorado and the two of us. This place was maybe 10'x10'. That room was at least half of the temperature of my huge Oklahoma rent house, with just me and a roommate spread out inside, all windows (even the back door- hey Oklahoma has some advantages) open constantly and at least 5-6 fans. If you haven't experienced living in those conditions, well, it is unbearable. Not a good nights sleep once, and the fact we had no hot water didn't help.

After I graduated that December I moved up to Colorado (with the friend I took to San Francisco.) We Slept in a room about the size of his in California (just us) and a third friend in a bedroom about the same size. We lived like that until just recently, with no a/c. It was fine, until one day about two months ago the heat just snapped. Each floor you climbed in the apartment house added another layer of sweat, until you got to our tiny hall on the top floor and just started pouring until you got in front of the fan. Still, this was nothing compared to the Oklahoma heat, as it was possible to sleep. Just recently moved to Denver, to an appropriately sized space (2 people, 2 bedrooms), still with no a/c. This isn't even hard, in fact you don't notice it, and again, it is nice at night. So I can see how a/c can sometimes seem unnecessary, but spend a month in july-sept in the South without one. You may survive, you may be stronger for the experience, but you are also going to be just a little on edge and insane.

How do you think the southern culture got started in the first place?
