The State of Colorado went ahead and legalized recreational use of marijuana. Not medicinal just across-the-board. Might increase ski tourism among the OWS set but what are your thoughts?
Dumb dumb dumb. Legalize it why? So they can regulate and tax it and give the government more revenue? Smoke it if you got it and quit asking permission.
The electorate as a whole...not very educated it seems. Take proposition 37 for example. Wholly uneccessary. All they needed to do was repeal the law passed which forbids non-gmo producers from labeling their products accordingly. Instead they try to counter by suggesting yet another law. They really do get the government they deserve.
Then there's this Assemblyman in NJ, a Republican no less (gosh darn I knew the name last night but it escapes me) and he wants to pass a law there requiring gas stations to have generators. EVERY crisis or emergency needs to be politicized in some way. Have a 'ho bang her and don't ask the guv'ment's permission, libertarianism in a pistachio shell. I don't agree with the drugs but sometimes I have to say your thought process is spot on.
If you don't like drugs you don't have to use them though I presume at some point you may come to find yourself with a prescription for some far more deleterious FDA approved pharmaceutical. I don't like drone strikes and corporate bailouts but as it is I don't yet have my opt out plan fully secured.
Washington state legalized pot as well. The local courts there are stopping possession cases, the sheriffs are ceasing stakeouts and there is some confusion as to what the Feds will or will not do. One result will be a shrinking of the prison population. (dunno, I don't even inhale my Prince Albert)
BTW, Z-Man, if you are looking to move up, there is an opening at a large government href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2012/11/09/petraeus_resigns_over_affair_with_biographer.html">agency .
I don't understand why Petraeus resigned. What does an extramarital affair have to do with his work at the CIA? Sounds like he's from the Old School but by this standard Bill Clinton should have stepped down a long time ago.
Petraeus: agree-old school, West Point..duty, honor, country. In addition, the security business worries about blackmail. When I was assigned TS level, we were warned that gorgeous seductive female soviet agents would try to gain info. I was never so lucky, though.
Illicit affairs are by nature, conspiritorial. First Paula Jones/Clinton and now Paula Broadwell/Petreaus. Always juicy, in the first instance, Jones ran out of money, posed in Playboy and was termed 'trailer trash' by Ann Coulter. The second Paula, by current accounts, was a West Pointer, a major in the military and a PhD. If ya figure it out, let me know.
Gotta admit is is interesting..a couple generals, some cougars, a shirtless FBI agent. Heck before its over half of CENTCOM will be dragged in. Better than 'Housewives of Macon County', IMO.

BB, apparently they took the term embedded to new levels. He gave her open access do she could write her bio on titled, All In...
ReplyDeleteYou can't make this stuff up.
I hear she has done email issues that may have compromised The David...
'You can't make this stuff up.'
ReplyDeleteNo, but the plot thickens...
..cherchez la femme
I'm gonna skip doing a blog about it though, the General in bed doesn't excite me.

& it serves as a great distraction from the Larger Issues, well done!
ReplyDeleteLarger issues? Kardashians?
ReplyDeleteNo like more underemployed BB and that's why I don't care about the General's bed.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the General's bed, an observer noted- "too many of our
ReplyDeleteGenerals are taking orders from their Privates"....
I do think however that Petraeus' testimony on Benghazi is highly relevant...
