Here’s today’s headline:

Study: Even Infrequent Use of Marijuana Increases Risk of Psychosis by 40 Percent

And here’s a snippet of the article:
LONDON Using marijuana seems to increase the chance of becoming psychotic, researchers report in an analysis of past research that reignites the issue of whether pot is dangerous.

The contempt of the Out of Iraq Judiciary Committee

Posted by Moonage on 25 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Ethics

In the news today is how the House Judiciary Committee issued contempt charges for Josh Bolten and Harriet Miers. Two former advisers to President Bush. I don’t really like “committee” actions. I like to know WHO that committee is. WHO it is doing it. Well, here’s the Democrat members of [...]

Ward Churchill gets canned

Posted by Moonage on 25 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Conspiracy Theories, Ethics, Idiot of the day

Finally.? I’ve been following the Ward Churchill saga for about two and a half years.? Finally, he gets what he deserved.? He got canned.? The saga’s not completely over yet.? After taking two and half years to figure out he lied about his credentials and plagiarized to boot, he’s threatening [...]

President Dick Cheney

Posted by Moonage on 20 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: National Politics

I’m sure those words ring terror in the hearts of every liberal on the planet. Not just here, but world-wide. I enjoy that for the novelty it will be for probably a couple of hours tomorrow morning.

Elected officials who really, really, care

Posted by Moonage on 20 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: War On Drugs

This is making the rounds, and it’s true:

I doubt it really served any purpose. But, I’m fully in support of Michael Polensek in this case and agree with every word he says here. Sounds like there’s some history between the two that motivated the exchange, but what Polensek summarizes about Arsenio is dead-on. [...]

AFL-CIO defends the worst. Congress. Ever.

Posted by Moonage on 19 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

No sooner than I posted the previous comment, I read this:
For too long, leaders in control of Congress neglected the needs of working Americans. But our new Congress listened to what working Americans said last November. It heard their call for change and acted on its principles, giving a raise to the people [...]

What do you get with a divided house?

Posted by Moonage on 19 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Government, Uncategorized

Nothing.
SOME people make the argument that a house divided is stronger than a unified house. Of course, some others have made the point that’s not true. I would be in that boat. I have also stated several times in the past that within two years, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi would do [...]

Honeymoon over for Fred?

Posted by Moonage on 19 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Fred Thompson, the non-candidate that was to save the neo-conservative element of the Republican Party from the dismal crop of current candidates that are as much, if not moreso, conservative than Fred, has enjoyed pretty much a free ride so far. I have felt that Fred’s toying with running is hurting the party in [...]

The idiocy of Eco-terrorism

Posted by Moonage on 19 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day, Political Correctness

I read this one this morning:
When Gareth Groves brought home his massive new Hummer, he knew his environmentally friendly neighbors disapproved. But he didn’t expect what happened next. The sport utility vehicle was parked for five days on the street before two masked men smashed the windows, slashed the tires and scratched into the body: [...]
