Ay Caramba! This is up late because I was writing my blog last night, about 1 in the morning Prague time, high as a kite, when my internet access crapped out and the whole thing disappeared, and then this morning and the blog is gone, flew the coop. It wasn’t exactly a literary masterpiece, and I’ll just backdate it so that in the future it still looks like I’ve kept up my blog-a-day routine, but I do apologize.
I was writing about the whole big whoop dee doo the press is making about Obama’s smoking pot, as revealed in David Maraniss new, highly biased, anti-Obama book. I can’t see why this is such a major story. It’s a sign to me that a lot of people didn’t actually read Obama’s books, because he talks about smoking reefer in High School right there, and the only new revelation was that he was a bit of a pot pig, toking out of turn (I hate that shit) and specializing in the old “enclosed space” technique (one of my favorites).
So, yeah, he’s a big hypocrite now that he’s president and not working to legalize marijuana, even going somewhat over the top to enforce the ignorant, draconian, reefer-madness type laws that are currently on the books. Who are we going to vote for? Ron Paul?
Mitt Romney, who has never had a joint, a beer, a glass of wine, a cigarette or even a cup of coffee in his whole life? I don’t think so.
Anyway, the topic mostly enables me to link to this cool piece of animation. I love the Taiwanese animated re-enactments of American news. They may be meant for comedy, but I believe they carry the essence of the story.
