Interesting local TV,

showing some 'Destination Colorado' ads, promoting pot, that the Colo Tourism Industry (who promotes the craft beer industry) isn't gonna run. But Arthur Frommer, the guide book guru, compares us to Amsterdam, and predicts a 'torrent of tourism' to Colorado, which is just what I heard from international travelers in Mexico. Is SO nice to live in an 'educated, thinking state', vs the Red state, conservative world. Time will tell, but I'm betting on Colorado, and the voters who said pot should be legal, for adults, instead of sending them to prison. Sorta like when the vote was given to women, then blacks as well as the repeal of prohibition and it now it is just 'taken for granted'.
The ad campaign that allowed the amendment to pass was a very simple, two part series. First was a retired sheriff, saying he had never seen an aggressive, violent pot smoker, (unlike drunks), and the second explained how money was wasted in the prison system, AND, it would be better to have pot profits (and taxes) going to school districts instead of Mexican gangs. VOILA! Pot is now legal in Colorado. About time, BUT, ain't gonna happen in the Red states, where adults, ingesting a (God created?) natural plant can be sent to prison.That makes us kinda special, and them ridiculous. Thanks, conservatives, we appreciate it when you make our differences SO obvious...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
