changmoi

You heard that where? Fox News, or directly from Limbaugh?

There have been times Pelosi has ridden on an Air Force jet at the behest of the secret service. I suppose you'd rather that the POTUS ride coach? In particular now that a commie is POTUS?

beh!

Vas!!!???

But we're all concerned about the future of the nation under far-left rule.

Who Terkoy? You and all your little friends, clustered around the radio in your dark bunker, hanging on every word of a junkie?

That "all"?

just curious

Ah ha... there... you see.... chief pain found a reference that PROVES liberal perfidy! And... what more unimpeachable source that Lucianne's little boy's playground scribblings in the National Expectorator?!?! That's PROOF, proof, I tell you!!!

To bad the big chief is in the wrong thread....

Limpbah has other things to worry about

Jeff Christie has more to fear from Arbitron than he does Obama. Poor dear is in the same corner that his sponsoring party is: a shrinking and aging demographic that is becoming less attractive to disappearing advertising dollars every day.

backwards states?

Uhh.... human power?.... where do you live?

this part of your post reveals a disturbing lack of knowledge about "the west"

I don't know what the term should be, but we need a term to describe the backwards states that happen to be in the West like Alaska, Idaho and Oregon without denigrating the civilized areas.

I don't think you could find three more disparate states than those three. In fact, the only thing they have in common is generally being in "the west", from a typically east coast perspective. Do your homework before you dump the state that started the bottle bill and protects nearly its entire coastline with the state of Sarah Palin, or the state of the Ayrian Nation.

Without Oregon, those oh so environmentally correct folks from L.A. would have to find some other "pristine wilderness" to vacation in.

Well...

Angela Davis spoke to an overwhelming young overflow audience in Portland last weekend. That's where I went and what I listened to. I didn't have time for Beck, et. al.

And the best thing (among many) about Ms Davis was that her face was predominantly marked by the lines of laughter. If Angela still has that, after all she's been though, then things can't be too bad.

Keep laughing, it makes the paranoid nervous and helps to keep you young.

insensitivity and American mainstream

Let the Post put up a cartoon of John Ratzenberger wearing his recently acquired pointy hat over an SS uniform and then we can sit back and see how a politically dominant societal group reacts.

London Lad

Man... a guy from Jolly Old getting his panties in a knot over the question of who invented the automobile... hahahahaha... that's a laugh... no foolin'.... What did the great automobile industry in Brit give us? Oh yeah.... LUCAS electrical systems.

Don't get me wrong... I loved my Jag and Healey, but K'riekie mate! Wash your own underpants before gettin' up on your high horse next time, laddie... you're leavin' a stain.

arrested? jail?

Most of the huge number of people who smoke pot in this country aren't doing it for medical reasons, nor do they face very great odds of being arrested, no matter WHO is in power. That's just the way it is. Street enforcement of anti marijuana laws has been ramping down for decades and there's no reason to think that trend will be reversed.

However, the economic crisis in the states MAY very well become the catalyst for the final push to full, alcohol style legalization. There's simply too much potential tax money just sitting there, ready to be collected, combined with a population not just willing to pay that tax, but eager to trade legalization for taxation.

It could happen. Marijuana is a HUGE cash crop in many states, and it's ALL underground. That's both a good thing and a bad thing, in that it funds a lot of underground boho economic activity (musicians, artists, other interesting fringie types), and yet, simultaneously marginally contributes to the generalized drug market lawlessness (although pot is the least of the problems in that regard).

As a 40 year, daily pot smoker I'm more optimistic now than I have ever been about the prospects for full legalization... but, while I AM inhaling, I'm not holding my breath any more than necessary (sorry, couldn't resist)

@ unlovely truth

The REAL "unlovely truth" about the overt use of political theater and the excesses and expenses involved in such activities are summed up by one of former conservative darling George W. Bush's favorite phrases: "War on Terror".

We could build a new school in EVERY district in this country for what we've pissed away in Iraq.
