Interesting article on the AP wire this morning

about the Mexican pot cartels and how they're suffering. In spite of increased patrols at the border, confiscations are down from over 4 million lbs in 2011 to just over 1 mil in the last year. AND, the price is WAY down, because of legalization in parts of the US. Yay Colorado!
Prison sentences are down, cops can concentrate on REAL criminals and the will of the majority is finally recognized. In SOME states. In rightwingnut country, teenagers still go to prison for pot possession while white collar criminals get a slap on the wrist, if that much.
Oh well, like most issues, the Red states will come around, SOMEDAY, after wrecking thousands of lives, and reality becomes SO obvious even THEY can't ignore it. But that's many years away. In the meantime, young people with choices are ditching Pub country and flooding Colorado, where Denver was just voted # ONE in the country, for jobs and other amenities.
Just one (young and educated leaving in droves) of MANY reasons why the once proud GOP is on the verge of extinction. Good riddance. Can you say dinosaur?

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...
