I’m hoping that’s a sign of things to come. Meanwhile if you go to Fox they somehow managed to report both Trump’s CIA speech and the press conference without ever reporting the fact that Trump’s team lied both times.

And Obama’s second inauguration. It was freezing as hell. In the teens. Every one of us stood there for hours.

I have a lot of questions, and yet a part of me doesn’t want any of the answers.

This. I’m tired of us dismissing the great men/women who champion our values because of their few and far between mistakes that they later regretted. Times change. People change. Views evolve. If we continue to judge our heroes by impossible standards, there aren’t going to be any heroes left. And we need people like…

If I were him, that’s exactly what I’d be doing. And I’d be insulating myself into a very comfortable position so that I’m indispensable and ready to go the moment Trump walks out the door.

I don’t like Mike Pence, but one has to recognize his unique situation and how masterfully he’s taking advantage of it. Mike…

I keep hoping the joke was a “Steve Harvey isn’t important enough to be recognizable” and not “all black people look alike”, but I just can’t be sure.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t know about John Lewis’s contribution to the Civil Rights Movement until after this whole fiasco. But that’s besides the point, a sensible politician would at least ASK someone or look the guy up before making an “official” (I use that word liberally) response. Moreover I would hope a decent…

Except Mike Pence didn’t do that. What you just witnessed is a masterclass in political minpulation. He focuses almost entirely on John Lewis’s statements, and how he was disappointed and hopes he reconsiders, how John Lewis is one of his heroes. He has a one off about Trump because he has to. He’s the Vice President,…

Not even to mention the fact that John Lewis’s district is thriving.

Too soon? Probably by definition and yet I love every one of these.

Yeah. Any book that’s published after 71 years of being publically banned is #1 on my reading list, I don’t care what it is... Morbid curiosity is going to win out.

For a while I kept a very simple notepad doc which listed the day of the week and time of every show I was keeping up with. Then I accidently deleted it. So I stopped watching like three shows at the time, which I now plan to catch up on when they’re done.

These days, unless a show is REALLY AMAZING, I file it under…

I do smoke, with the same intermittent frequency that I drink. Recreationally, but not every day. And I draw a major distinction between a doctor’s medication and personal use. I would prefer that weed were legal, regulated, and prescribed as medication when necessary, given that a doctor could more accurately convey…

First of all, I never ever ever said that those who consume weed due so due to an impairment. That would indeed be offensive. Nor did I say that people who smoke are worse at their jobs or anything ever remotely like that. That would be offensive too.

Couldn’t agree more. And while I only have my anecdotes, and the effects I’ve observed from weed on my friends and family... I acknowledge that weed can be consumed without permanent issues. But I’m tired of pretending that weed is not unhealthy because we’ve proven that its marginally better than the vices it is…

“when alcohol is addictive in a way weed is not” This isn’t the same as saying weed isn’t habit forming. I’ve seen countless friends and family develop a dependence on weed, to the point where their attempts to quit were met with debilitating relapses. And I assume it is possible to smoke weed on a daily basis and not…

You’re right, because that’s the definition of moderation. I’m talking about the people who consume weed on principle whenever they’re able, and how they consistently preach that it has no adverse effect on their health when it clearly does.

I guess I’ve just never seen anyone who consumed weed on a daily basis do so in moderation. If you do, great. But I’m tired of the culture of encouraging people to smoke often on the flimsy basis that it isn’t harmful. Because it clearly is.

Can we finally meet at the middle on weed use and health? Its not the worst thing in the universe, nor is it a wholly positive indulgence. Rather than fighting to “smoke weed every day”... Can we accept that it, like any other substance, should be consumed responsibly and in moderation? I’ve never met a person who…

Get this man to the CIA
