Are we really ready to do this to kids? And the important part here is that the student in question was on the honor roll and they were searching her for prescription-strength ibuprofen pills. Yes, ibuprofen. From Wash Post… An important case at the Supreme Court sometimes informs as much about the justices as the [...]
Thanks to John, I am pointed to these two rather strange arguments in favor of the Drug War and against libertarian use of statistics on race against the Drug War from Jonah Goldberg. John does a pretty good job explaining why Goldberg’s arguments are so strange. The only thing I’d really add is that the [...]
Looks like Obama’s “green initiatives†won’t include legalizing marijuana. Today, he shot down the idea. In a statement that’s sure to disappoint many of those who submitted questions to President Obama’s virtual town hall meeting, the president made clear Thursday he does not support legalizing marijuana as a means to spur economic growth. “I have [...]
As expected, it’s the “gateway drug” theory v. reality of human existence. Guess which one sounds more credible… I do still love Ron Paul in many ways, and I wish he wouldn’t have been mixed up in that remarkably dumb newsletter operation he was. Because then he’d be a viable third party candidate. Oh well. [...]

Looks like somebody has given the green light to the surrogates to talk about Obama’s past drug use. This doesn’t surprise me about Giuliani, but Huckabee? First Giuliani… Then here’s a link to Huck. Ugh. Tweet
The problem? He suggests that Obama hasn’t been honest about it… Speaking to Dennis Miller, a comedian and conservative radio talk show host, former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating said Obama should be more forthright about his background and what he called his “very extreme” record. “He ought to admit, ‘You know, I’ve got to be [...]
Over the years I’ve heard stories about people who’ve grown marijuana in their basement or their dorm room or even on land out in the middle of the country. However, I have never heard about anybody growing it…in a mall? MIAMI — The Drug Enforcement Administration discovered something unexpected in the Mall of the Americas. [...]
He admits he was wrong and that it’s now time to call this “war” off because it’s doing far more harm than good.
