Less of the change you can't really believe in.

Update: Marijuana legalization No. 1 at Obama's Change.gov @ www.dosenation.com:

"...Here's the official Change.gov response to the question re marijuana legalization, which rocketed to the top of the list of submissions:

Q: "Will you consider legalizing marijuana so that the government can regulate it, tax it, put age limits on it, and create millions of new jobs and create a billion dollar industry right here in the U.S.?" S. Man, Denton

A: President-elect Obama is not in favor of the legalization of marijuana.

There you have it! As reader Emu noted:

It's very interesting to note how lengthy his responses were for all the other questions he answered but put up a 'I don't want to touch it' wall with marijuana. I'll leave you with a quote from his book,

"And if the high didn't solve whatever it was that was getting you down, it could at least help you laugh at the world's ongoing folly and see through all the hypocrisy and bullshit and cheap moralism."

Too bad we didn't elect the guy who wrote that. That's a dude who had an understanding of the situation.

Or this guy, even.

[Yes, that's really him.]
