Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Ant Ques would be a good name for a classic rock band made up of older guys. "There's no 'I' in Ant Ques" could be their tag line... Elizabeth Warren comes in 4th in NH Primary - SNL's Kate McKinnon hardest hit... I don't write Harry Potter fan fiction but if I did it would be a story about Harry taking Mr Weasley to an amusement park for an afternoon... Oh come on - if ever there was a legitimate reason to get stoned... Curl Up & Dye is a great name for a hair salon... Democrats and Republicans are free to interpret this photo as they wish...

Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Well Vermont isn't a real state - "true" single payer healthcare has yet to be tried. [Sarcasm off]

- Interesting - how legal pot actually made things worse for people who need medical marijuana in Oregon.

- A look at some of the issues facing law enforcement in the Internet age and new laws that try to deal with those issues.

- Charlie Munger's one way to make progress

- Royal crown jewels stolen in Sweden. How little security seems to have been in place for priceless artifacts.

- Canadian VHS era pop culture icon Troy Hurtubise passes.  I had never heard of Troy so out of curiosity I watched Project Grizzly on YouTube. Couldn't shake the idea that it was actually one long extended Kids in the Hall sketch except it was a real thing.

- Not all heroes wear capes!

Legalized Pot

For the most part I am in favor of medical marijuana and decriminalizing pot. No worse than alcohol in my book. However, I am kind of glad that the Florida Right to Medical Marijuana Initiative was defeated.

Imagine all the old drivers and crazy people in Florida. Now imagine them driving around whacked out on legal weed. Florida would be so much more of a driving nightmare if Amendment 2 passed.

Just saying.
