As always, the Denver Post

had another article on legalized pot, and, as always have tried to show both sides. This morning's rightwinger had a typical, 'I tried it, and liked it, became a responsible adult and quit, BUT, the kids don't need another vice, and we shouldn't make it seem like it's OK'. Then she went on to admit that the criminalization of pot hasn't worked, with billions wasted, prisons filled with 'criminals' whose only offense was pot and the cartels are the ones who profit. WTF? You can't have it both ways! Either it's legal. or it isn't. If kids want to get it, they will, either way. I also don't like the idea of youngsters overdoing it, BUT, it's worse to waste billions, criminalize responsible adults and enrich the cartels. It's not the Black and White, Right vs Wrong world that most Repubs live in. It's kinda gray and you gotta choose which path causes the least harm. Sorta like Dems vs Pubs. I really don't like Dems that much, with their over generous social programs, BUT, compared to the alternative, they look pretty good. Same with pot, given the 2 choices, it's time to end a prohibition never worked and never will.

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

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...

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...
