Dear DEA: My President is Green

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

  Holding true to the belief that the federal laws should not circumvent state laws,  Attorney General Eric Holder has confirmed that raids on medical marijuana dispensaries will no longer be conducted. At a press conference earlier this week Holder confirmed that states will have  the final say on use of drug for pain control.  Take that. Take that. DEA:
“What the president said during the campaign ... will be consistent with what we will be doing… Read More

Why the ‘Stanky Leg’ Ain’t So Bad

Friday, February 27th, 2009
Now I'm quite aware that this song and dance are pretty old at this point, but I wanted to wait for the "official video" and not some uploaded instructionals from Delicia and her "Bad on a B*tch" clique.   … Read More

There’s No Such Thing as Clean Coal

Friday, February 27th, 2009
I've had conversations with Angela and our favorite engineer (big ups to Stephanie) about the concept of clean coal. Well actually, I've listened to them two talk about it (my eyes start to glaze over when people mention anything techie or scientific related...even though that fish in the post below is awesome!) I may not understand it all, but the idea that coal could be clean just sounds absurd to me. That's like saying a "healthy cigarette". I'm not buying it.   The Coen Brothers aren't buying the idea of clean coal either.  They're the two directors that scared the hell out of me with "No Country for Old Men". (Peeps was just getting… Read More

So. Effin. Cool.

Friday, February 27th, 2009
There's a fish out there with a transparent head, like the cockpit on an airplane. And it's not due to some crazy "The Simpsons" type toxic waste (at least I don't think it is).

    The White House has lifted a 18-year ban on allowing news orgs to photograph the flag-draped caskets of fallen soldiers as they return to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. The first Bush banned media photography in '91, and Dubya kept the ban firmly in place as the mortality rate grew during the Iraq war.   Many say the public deserves to see the images because they help paint a more accurate picture of… Read More
