    Random Recitals

    In today's anti-drug climate, people don't want to hear about the commercial potential of marijuana. The reason is that the flowering top of a female hemp plant contains a drug. But from 1842 through the 1890s a powerful concentrated extract of marijuana was the second most prescribed drug in the United States. In all that time the medical literature didn't list any of the ill effects claimed by today's drug warriors.

    Palinology

    David Michael Green publishes another near perfect post about Palinology:

    Whoa and Woe: Living In Sarah Palin’s America (collapsible content, click to show/hide)

    I can’t tell you how despondent I’ve grown in the last weeks.

    Is there really no hope for this country, after all? It now appears so.

    In January of 2003, John Le Carre wrote that, “America has entered one [...]



    la belle dame sans merci

    The fevered dream of the GOP continues.

    I was going to quote some of Sarah Palin’s odious speech, but its Dr. Laura sarcasm and patina of lies made it impossible to stomach.

    The GOP has nothing but god, guns, abortion and war. There was nothing in last night’s speech – or in this entire convention – about how a McCain/Palin administration would solve [...]



    Rove convinces McCain to pick unqualified VP

    Watch the last part of this video where Rove talks about how Obama is likely to pick an “unqualified” candidate such as Tim Kaine and you will understand the title to this post.

    Is this reverse psychology on Rove’s part? Did he already know the McCain VP pick and was therefore taunting Obama to also pick an unqualified [...]



    Wexler – Help Me Impeach

    Dear xxxx,

    I need your help:

    My strong and vocal stands in favor of impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney have made me a target.  I am now under siege by the right wing, who are working hard to defeat me and silence the causes that we believe in.

    In the eyes of the right wing, I am seen, [...]



    McCain Reminding Us Again Facts Do Not Matter

    (ItS aLL AbOuT LoVe) — JoVi RoCkWeLL

    Rove McCain does good work here. He even gets Couric to edit his interview so that we do not find out once again about McCain’s faulty memory with regard to our illegal, immoral occupation of Iraq.

    But the media is biased towards Obama, right? Always accuse others of what is actually [...]



    same as it ever was

    “Even if you never met [Obama], you know this guy,” Rove said, per Christianne Klein. “He’s the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by.”

    It’s classic Rove: Plaster over the racist truth (that many country clubs in the U.S. still won’t [...]



    them’s fightin’ words

    Rich says he’s found the shittiest person on the face of the earth. While I admit his candidate does rise to a level of cruel douchebaggery rarely seen outside the Oval Office these days, I have to differ.

    Karl Rove last week on Charlie Rose:

    [O]ne of the untold stories about the war is why did the United States Congress, the United States Senate, [...]
