sometimes you stop...

Every once in a while, for no reason other than it is time, I like to walk away from the www for a while. Take a breather. Come up for air. Put my feet up.

You'd be surprised how much a two dimensional character could use a break once and a while. So that's what I'm doing now. Taking a break. I'll be back when I'm done fucking off. And then I'll jump back into the maelstrom, maybe with something new, who knows?

Sarah Palin Offered $25,000 By Marijuana Advocates

Immediately following her Tuesday speech at the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America's national convention, a marijuana advocacy group says it will offer former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin $25,000 to deliver a similar address to supporters of a regulated cannabis market in the United States.

In exchange for the $25,000, Palin will be asked to speak at one of the upcoming events of Nevadans for Sensible Marijuana Laws (NSML), according to NSML campaign manager Dave Schwartz.

According to Schwartz, Palin will be asked to acknowledge the fact that marijuana is just as legitimate a recreational substance as alcohol, which she is talking about at the WSWA convention (and in fact, marijuana is objectively much safer), and endorse taxing and regulating marijuana in Nevada and throughout the U.S.

"There's no reason why former Governor Palin should reject our offer," Schwartz said. "The health effects of the substance she is talking about at the WSWA convention cause some 33,000 deaths in the U.S. annually. The comparable number for marijuana is zero."

"Alcohol is also associated with violent crime and other destructive acts, while marijuana is not," Schwartz said. "If Gov. Palin is comfortable endorsing that product, we are certain she will endorse ours. We look forward to negotiating with her team to find a time that works in her schedule."

"Let me make one thing clear," Schwartz said. "In making this offer, we are not intending to attack the alcohol industry or alcohol users. Rather, we're highlighting the fact that marijuana is objectively less harmful than alcohol."

"It makes no sense to keep marijuana in the criminal market while a former vice-presidential candidate celebrates the alcohol industry," Schwartz said. "We want legitimate businesspeople in Nevada to benefit from the sales of marijuana, and we want adults to be free to choose whichever substance they prefer -- marijuana or alcohol -- when they relax after work."

NSML is a ballot advocacy group formed in Nevada to support a 2012 ballot initiative to tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol in Nevada

39th annual Hash Bash

39th annual Hash Bash acquires an air of legitimacy

Crowd at U-M hails medical marijuana

BY BILL LAITNER Thousands of marijuana proponents, many openly smoking the drug, crowded the University of Michigan's Diag on Saturday for the 39th-annual Hash Bash. Police estimated 5,000 people were there, drawn by sunshine as well as enthusiasm for Michigan's 15-month-old law legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes.

"How many of you are patients? Hold up your cards!" shouted Hash Bash emcee Adam Brook, 42, of Royal Oak.

Hundreds held aloft the state cards that show they are patients who can legally possess up to 2.5 ounces of the weed.

Openly smoking was Dennis Stoffer, 45, of Port Huron, in a wheelchair since a 2006 motorcycle accident.

"Time to come out and support the cause," said his wife, Becky Stoffer, 53.

Marijuana is much better for her husband than the side effects of the powerful pain pills he once took, she said.

"The only side effect (from marijuana) is him getting the munchies," she said, referring to the drug's tendency to make users hungry.

Some held signs that demanded the drug's full legalization.

"This is the next generation of activists," said speaker Anthony Freed, 32, of Clark Lake -- patting the back of U-M senior Chris Chiles, 21, a chemistry major from Farmington who founded the university's chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy.

At least nine U-M campus police ringed the crowd's perimeter. They made nine arrests at the event for marijuana possession; one for possession of marijuana, heroin and ecstasy, and issued four citations for illegal sale of marijuana, said U-M public safety spokeswoman Diane Brown.

Even if a person had a state card to possess medical marijuana, smoking the drug on campus is illegal -- punishable by up to a year in jail under state law, she said.

Those charged on campus might plead guilty to the lesser crime of marijuana use punishable by a 90-day jail term, Brown said. Still more lenient, however, is the City of Ann Arbor, whose ordinance -- enforced off campus -- is just a $50 fine, she said.

That's why Karl Andrzejewski, 40, of Kalamazoo and his friends were headed for the city's Monroe Street Fair after the Hash Bash.

"It's a lot safer off campus," Andrzejewski said.
