Nobody talks about the benefits drugs have brought America. Drugs taught us the metric system when nothing else could.

Ask any schoolboy in the nation and he can tell you "28 grams to the ounce."

Doktor Zoom: RE that headline. "Brazen" must always be used before "Hussy" or "Hussies."

Just like all daylight robberies are "Daring" - even if it's a twenty-year-old thug pistol whipping a grandmother.

There's a wonderful O. Henry story about journalistic cliches - "Calloway's Code." Very funny!

Since he was in Boone County at the time, I am surprised the state Republicans arent trying to suggest he took a trip to Columbia to score drugs.

Ugh. My sis-in-law was addicted to those things. My mother-in-law kept giving them to her for Xmas- esp. the Catholic-themed ones. Took all I could muster to NOT roll my eyes. (Then of course, Beanie Babies happened, and the entire family went bat-shit insane over them- except us.)

Funny thing about the red states and their lawnorder wingnut residents:

☛ Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Mississippi, and West Virginia have the highest narcotic utilization rates. ☛ Oklahoma, Nevada, Utah, Ohio, and Alabama have the highest per capita spending on narcotics.

<a href="http:\/\/lab.express-scripts.com\/prescription-drug-trends\/patterns-of-narcotic-use-and-abuse" target="_blank">The study</a> somehow missed Florida, where half the nation's oxycontin scripts get written.

Maybe if voting while numb was outlawed, we'd be better off as a nation.

This makes me feel really let down...

I have been smoking pot for almost 30 years, and have yet to have it lead me to vice or debauchery.

Don't they mean: "A vicious racket with it's arms around you're children!"
