War on drugs; another fool’s errand?

Why are some drugs illegal in the US of A? A comment from my other reader, gizo, got me thinking about this. As is almost always the case with me, I have no idea what the actual answer is. I have donned my tinfoil hat, however, and will now try and pierce the mystery.

Willie Nelson busted!

Cops in Louisiana busted the great Willie Nelson and members of his band for marijuana and mushrooms. Apparently he had quite a stash, as befits one of the greatest god-damn men that has ever lived.

Those that depend on corporations to keep them informed are utterly clueless. [...]

Political commercials on the people’s airwaves

It hasn’t taken long for me to become sick of the commercials this political season. I don’t care for politicians. I think those at the national level should be hanged for treason. All of them. I hold the smaller time models in only slightly higher regard. They should be sent somewhere, China maybe, to be [...]

USC to take title from Texas in rematch

Considering what happened in week one, I’m making my first bullshit prediction of the 2006 college football season. Based on what I saw, and what tends to happen with the polls, I think it’s very likely we’ll see USC defeat Texas to win all the marbles in a rematch of last years championship game. If [...]
