Once again the cops gun down a pot smoker and then declare themselves absolved.

Two tenths of one gram of pot and a lying informant and somehow the police think they did it the right way.

A "Bloom County" strip, written in 1982, but just as relevant today, if not more so.

Frankly, I'm offended.

Hasselbeck is a dingbat, but in the sense that even a broken clock is right twice a day, she actually has a point.

Damn, Gog, if I'm reading that article right, it was actually two one-hundredths of a gram. 20 milligrams. That's the mass of about 40 grains of salt. How did they know it was pot? It would take some pretty sophisticated lab work to determine what it was. That "$2 worth of pot" also smacks of the way police vastly over-estimate the value of drugs that they confiscate. 20 milligrams wouldn't even be enough to light. It's an amount so small that it would be valueless.

On a lighter note: Forget Brutus Buckeye! Let's give a hearty (and like, really mellow) welcome to Buddie, ResponsibleOhio’s mascot for its pro-legalization tour across Ohio college campuses!

Meanwhile, in Sweden,

But it's a real beauty,
A Canadian cutie,
How it got here, I haven't a clue!

Apologies to Jimmy...
