Away we go again.
I should add that Vermont is leading the way with a nuanced RAND study of the many variations of marijuana legalization.

Ah. Daddy wanted cowbell first. All I have is a kazoo, jaws harp, and bird whistles.

Greg Anthony caught for solicitation and suspended by CBS for season. Good to know that tv announcers are held to higher standards than Presidents are. What he needs is a pant suited battle axe willing to blame the working girl. In case that's too distasteful to contemplate he could yammer something about jobs created or saved.
Go Terps!

One doesn't need a Rand study to conclude that the move from Camel straights to weed muffins is the sign of a less vigorous society.
No offense intended to my JOM friends who are cannabis aficionados! I'm sure you're all exceptions to my rule (or you need the weed for medicinal purposes).

ABC7 breaks this story...but didn't ABC also have the list of the DC Madame customers? They decided not to release THAT list, except the names of a few Republicans.
from wiki - "Ultimately, ABC News, after going through what was described as "46 lb" [21 kg] of phone records, decided that none of the potential clients[15] was sufficiently "newsworthy" to bother mentioning.[16]"
Do you trust ABC to make that determination?

Good Luck to Frederick! Our son-in-law teaches voice privately and at AU. He had a student who asked him about performing on a Disney cruise. He thinks that it is a great opportunity for an aspiring performer. The experience teaches a young person a work ethic and the daily grind of performing.

Don't you think Big Weed has been pretty successful so far in avoiding media scrutiny of the ill health effects of its product? There's a lot of research out there, but establishment media has yet to give Big Weed the treatment it gave Big Tobacco.

Unfair treatment is one of my pet peeves.
Posted by: Janet - healthy and jolly as a joker! | January 17, 2015 at 06:11 PM
Just like all botancials, there is NO research except those designed to undermine. I think cannabis has many more healthful bennies that are undisclosed. But you are right about the productivity. I think thats what the authorities fear most. A happy population without the need to acquire riches beyond needs.

In my science major, there were guys who were stoners. ( I was the only woman with the group who graduated in 1977.)
Without exception, the guys who did not use went on to grad school, oil companies, mining companies, etc.
The stoners got jobs with the state or ended up in retail.
This always struck me as a lesson.

I'm sure he was in town to do the game and they had Duke's Jim Spanarkle do replacement duty. Greg's no youngster since he had a fairly long NBA career after being with the Runnin' Rebs team which beat K's bunch one year and then lost to them the following tourney.

It strikes me that if the media actually wanted to provide an illustration of what this Administration is doing by refusing to specifically acknowledge that Islam is the impetus in all these attacks, they should tomorrow neglect to mention the name of whatever team scores in whatever NFL Football game we are watching.
Announcer: The Football Team on the Left side of the field just scored a Touchdown.
Other Announcer: That was a great play by those players!
Fan: What team scored? Which Team scored? Who's ahead, who's behind?
Announcer: That's unimportant. We shouldn't be specific in identifying any particular team. It should suffice for you to know that some team scored, but according to the President you should not know who actually did the scoring, else it might create within you a bias towards that team and it's followers, ergo, all you need to know is that somebody scored.
Fan: So we shouldn't know which Team is doing whatever it's doing?
Announcer: Correct. It is irrelevant to know what team did what, whether they be the Pats, the Colts, the Packers, the Islamists, the Jews, or the Christians. It is all simply guys doing exactly the same thing, and it would be unfair of us to single out any one of these groups as distinct from the rest by providing the non-essential particulars of who they are, else you might start judging them in regard to those non-essential particulars
Fan: Well...OK...so we can never identify any particular group for any reason whatever...Got it...Anything else?
Announcer: Yes. No group is any different from any other, nor will any group be treated any different from any other group. And also always remember that the future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam.
Fan: ?

Greg Anthony was active in the campus Republican Club at UNLV and as gar as I know has been a Republican ever since.
Since regular-season college hoops (like the NBA) has become so meaningless, about five years ago I adopted an inviolate rule: if Dick Vitale is on the nroadcast, I don't watch it.

Wiki:
"Anthony has been politically active with the Republican Party since his days at UNLV, where he graduated with a degree in political science and served as the vice chairman of Nevada's Young Republicans.[1]
"In 2008, Anthony publicly endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. In 2012, Anthony publicly endorsed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, appearing in a Romney ad in Nevada.[3]"

Jack, a guy I went to HS with was a performer at Six Flags while in HS and then went on to Disney for several years. Astounding 1st tenor voice. I think he is still involved in theater in the Asheville area and I might could put Frederick in touch to learn more about the ins and outs of auditions etc if you would be interested.
I'd suggest Frederick, if he is truly interested in theater, tv, etc to look into community theater and audition there, too. Our community theater has a kid's program that puts on their own productions a couple of times a year and is mentored by the adults. St Augustine, Flagler and Jupiter all have vibrant theater scenes.

I'm going to go google lots on how to get pot and see if I get some marijuana ads. (I've never used it--keep thinking I might get my sister to go to Colorado with me and try some. Yes, I'm chicken, I've never used an illegal drug in my life, which is long. :)
