"Slipping into madness..."


Sure, why not?  Judge convicted of planting meth on woman who reported him for harassment - Boing Boing: "Bryant Cochran was chief judge of Murray County Magistrate Court when a woman reported him for hitting on her while she entered his chambers to take out assault warrants following an attack on her. The judge later conspired to plant meth on the woman. He will be sentenced in February."


White People, Relax.  We're gonna be okay.  The Silly Panic Over a Minority White Nation Update - Hit & Run : Reason.com: "A couple of years ago, I went through the exercise of calculating the percentage of the current American population descended from folks who were not regarded as being "white" when they immigrated back in the 19th and early 20th centuries. What sort of folks? Why the Italians, the Jews, the Irish, the Slavs, and the Greeks, along with native-born African-Americans. In my article, "The Silly Panic Over a Minority White Nation," I pointed out: Shortly after the turn of the last century, many nativists feared that mass immigration was overwhelming the white “races” that had historically contributed the most to populating the nation...

 Instead of becoming worthless and good-for-nothing, the descendants of those immigrant hordes became, well, Americans."


  



Survey Finds Teen Pot Smoking Fell This Year Despite the Message Supposedly Sent by Legalization - Hit & Run : Reason.com: ""There has been more public dialogue about marijuana over the past year than any 12-month period in history," says Mason Tvert, communications director at the Marijuana Policy Project. "States around the country are making marijuana legal for adults, establishing medical marijuana programs, and decriminalizing marijuana possession, and the sky is not falling. The debate is not resulting in more marijuana use among young people, but it is resulting in more sensible marijuana laws.""

Genius. 






Happy Belated Birthday to the late, great Bill Hicks.  "The world is like a ride in an amusement park...."
