"There is an illusion that the President clings to in his speeches, that somehow, somewhere
down the line, Republicans will awaken to realize that the way they've been governing for
the last five years in Washington is wrong and they're going to be willing to compromise
and move more of his agenda items forward."

Oklahoma Embraces Med Pot
Are you trying to give me a heart attack?
by my good friend Richard Fricker
Link
A survey conducted by Sooner Poll shows 71.2% of Okies endorse medical marijuana.
According to their numbers, 63% favor treatment over jail for marijuana related crimes and
57% favor Oklahoma wising up and joining the other 15 states that have decriminalized pot.
Even with the margin of error it is clear those favoring relaxation of the state’s marijuana laws
cut across political, economic, educational, and religious lines.
Tulsa respondents support decriminalization by 67.3%, Oklahoma City respondents by 62.8%.
Note: Tulsa is the Paris of Oklahoma.
Outside the metro areas, support for medical marijuana was a solid 66%.
So, will the right-wing crazies go along with the will of the people?
Or will they, instead, vote for the 100th time to outlaw Sharia law in our courts?

Crooked Chris Christie Racist?
Blacks had trouble getting Sandy relief
"I am not fat and I'm not a racist..."
Link
Amid growing questions about bridge closures, crooked Chris Christie is facing an additional charge
about his administration’s disbursement of relief aid. State data, obtained from the Christie administration
through a lawsuit by the Fair Share Housing Center, reveal a dramatic racial gap in who received
preliminary approval for funds from Sandy relief programs.
According to the data, decried by groups including the New Jersey NAACP, the Latino Action Network
and the New York Whore Times editorial board, the Sandy Relief Board rejected 35.1 percent of Black
applicants, 18.1 percent of Latinos, and only 13.6 percent of good old white people.
FSHC attorney Adam Gordon urged the federal government to expand its investigation to include the racially
disparate aid distribution, accused crooked Christie of trying to change the topic by attacking his organization,
and charged “neglect and callous indifference in the needs of Latino and African-American communities
impacted by Sandy.” A condensed version of our conversation follows.
Your assessment of this data shows that African-Americans were more than twice as likely as whites
to get rejected by the RREM program and by the Resettlement program. What explains that disparity?
I think crooked Chris Christie has some 'splainin' to do.

"Obama's State of the Union speech could have been a legacy-making moment.
Instead, it was the same tired boilerplate we hear year after year."
-- Mitch the Bitch, who probably wrote that before the speech. Link
Hey Bitch, you know why that speech seems to sound the same every year?
Because IT IS because WE KEEP WINNING.
If you weren't such backwards, hateful sons of bitches YOU could win
and give the SotU speech - but that's not going to happen, Bitch.
Suck on that.

Nobel Prize for Snowden?
This passes for humor in Norway
Link
Two Norwegian politicians, with entirely straight-faces, have jointly nominated Edward Snowden for the
2014 Nobel Peace Prize, saying his massive theft has contributed to making the world more peaceful.
Anyone can be nominated for the prestigious award (in 2012, a ham sandwich was nominated), so the
submission Wednesday by Socialist lawmakers Baard Solhjell and Snorre Valen just means Snowden
will be one of scores of names that the Nobel committee will consider.
"We do not necessarily condone or support all of his robberies," the two fun lawmakers said.
"We are, however, convinced that the public debate and changes in policy that have followed in
the wake of Snowden's burglaries have contributed to a more stable and peaceful world order."
Valen agreed that Snowden "has damaged the security interests of several nations,"
but to have the debate, you have to be aware of what is going on," he told The Whore AP.
So you want to give him a prize for "damaging the securoiy interests of several nations?"
Why can't George Zimmerman get a Nobel Prize, too?

Subject: Repubs war on women
Bart,
You'd have to live under a rock or with your head buried in reality TV to not know this belief
is also what the religious right and the Taliban want for the women in Christian and Islamic naitons
all over the globe. I often wonder what mankind did before women became part of the human race.
I guess we are all about to learn if they have their way. Once, the only powerful women in middle-east
were the ones that withheld sex to stop their idiot husbands from rushing off to another war...see Lysistrada.
Of course, it was a play and never actually tried in life on a level that would be necessary now, but wouldn't
it be lovely to have that much power if only for a couple of millenia like the males of this world actually have.
The republicans are not only waging a war on women, they are happy to engage in any war that makes them....
the desicion makers for everyone! It's a dictatorship they want! And it's even sadder the media isn's questioning
why they are using women as a wedge issue at all when millions of other men are jobless.
Do you think they really want all women at home making babies without any birth control
at all so the men can take their jobs? Just thought I'd add my seventy-eight cents.
MJT
They claim they're for "family values" but they f-ing HATE women.
No wonder they can't win an election.

Subject: Colorado
Bart, Colorado doesn't have to fix anything.
You're right - keeping a broken system IS an option.
Colorado is lightyears ahead of everyone else in cannabis reform.
It's getting a little tiresome and irksome hearing from non-residents
what we have done wrong and what we must correct to accomodate them.
So you KNOW you have problems, and you don't need our help to point them out?
That's great news - when will the badly-needed corrections take place?
Listen closely, I'm going to let you in on a little secret:
>>Amendment 64 wasn't written for tourists, it was written for Colorado residents.<<
That would be an assertion on your part.
By specifically stating that "Non-residents can buy a quarter ounce"
isn't that an offer from the state to come and enjoy what they're selling?
Tell me, are your ski lifts open to non-residents?
Get it? We dont care if you don't like it.
Are you under the assumption that anybody cares what you think?
You are living proof that not all pot smokers are friendly.
It wasn't written to encourage MJ tourism.
Then why sell to tourists if there's no place to smoke?.
It wasn't written to induce people to move here (spaghetti monster forbid!) 90,000 new
residents per year is quite enough. That's the equivalent of one new Pueblo, CO every year.
"Stay away - we don't like your kind?"
Sounds like the GOP's stand on immigration.
If our reforms don't meet your approval, stay home.
Stay home and work to make cannabis legal in your own damn state.
Then tell us how it should be done. Oh wait, you're in Oklahoma, right? Never mind.
OR, you could do things right and not NEED common sense help from outsiders.
As a tourist, you can only buy a quarter ounce anyway...currently at inflated prices because
of a temporary shortage in supply.
...because nobody thought legal pot would be popular? Are you serious?
It's cheaper for someone to stay home and buy black market pot. It's not worth the trip.
What's more, I wouldn't encourage you to attempt to smuggle any MJ out of the state either.
The Kansas and Wyoming state patrols are taking a dim view of transportation right now
and will detain and harrass you just because they can.
So, they're pulling over Southwest Airlines jets at the border?
I gotta see that!
Sorry to be such a curmudgeon, but this crap...
Colorado must do this, Colorado shouldn't have done that...is getting old.
Larry in Colorado
Fine, but if you FIX IT, you won't need our advice on how to fix it.
PS: If you're determined to come, you can always buy some nice edibles
and consume them in your non-smoking hotel room.
Right!
We're going to fly to Colorado and sit in our hotel room and eat cookies.
Great idea, Larry.
PPS: Don't forget to go home.
Not sure why you've chosen to be a dick about this.
Colorado offers pot to tourists, then barks, "You can't smoke here,"
and, somehow, you say your old friend Bart is the problem?
Nobody in the entire state - all thru 2013 - thought to ask that question?
Your failure to plan ahead for the obvious can hardly be blamed on me.
When we get to Colorado, we'll be sure and not stop by.
Maybe a FRIENDLY Coloradoan will offer us a place to party until
Colorado pulls their head out and fixes the stupid problem they created.

Will Obama Deport Beiber?
Yes, because he's tired of being President
Link
As if Obama didn't have enough problems, he's being asked to weigh in on Justin Bieber's bad behavior.
A petition on the White House website calling for the deportation of Biebern to Canada had 103,000 names
-- easily surpassing the threshold of 100,000 signatures required for presidential consideration.
"We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture,"
says the petition, created by one "J.A." in Detroit on January 23, the day Bieber was busted in Miami Beach.
"We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive and drug-abusing Justin Bieber deported and his
green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on
our nation's youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society."
Boo Hoo, poor us - having to suffer thru a "dangerous, reckless and destructive" teenage pop singer.
Lucky for us he didn't wiggle his hips.
Then we'd be in real trouble.

The Christian Conservative Myth
by Mark Morford
Link
I often wonder, given sufficient whisky and irony and time:
Has there ever been a more delightfully inept, wince-inducing oxymoron
in the tortured American lexicon than “conservative Christian?”
I am almost completely serious. I stumble across this strangled term frequently in the media world,
usually in reference to this or that corporate executive, pinched titan of industry or misguided political
movement, and every single time I feel a strange twitch shoot from my brainstem down to my soul,
a sudden seizure of meaning as the phrase falls back and implodes into itself, like a confused little star
that thinks it’s an enormous sun but is really just a speck of flaming space dust.
I’m over at Mother Jones, reading of the vast ugliness that is the family DeVos, a wonderfully
power-mad, union-hating clan of exceedingly rich (keyword: Amway), exceedingly white Republican
males over in Michigan, rivaling the Koch brothers and Coors clan for title of Most Despising of
Everything You Love. Hey, for the .0001 percent, it’s a very popular competition indeed.

Bart, Wow man! Have not seen one of those since the 60s!
I went to high school with a guy who had one of these:
It's called an "Amphicar" meaning it was amphibious as well as a car.
I think they only built them in the 60s and don't think they were different
from year to year. Seems like it had a Triumph 4 cyl. engine, had propellors
and was pretty slow in the water, and just about as slow on land.
