It's a retarded premise under which to legalize it, but if that's what it takes, who am I to argue?

Especially since all my blackmarket sources have dried up. I'm too old for this. I just want to buy it at the store, preferably at the check-out stand near the chewing gum and batteries.

You could always spring for a prescription.

John Stewart pins Cramer down

Stewart backs Cramer into a corner and Cramer's got nothing.

The blogger on the page with the videos seems to think Stewart should have been meaner. I for one think he did a perfect job.

For the record, Comedy Central has the entire unedited interview on their site, in three parts. Worth seeing.

President Obama is scheduled to appear on the Jay Leno Show this week.

President Obama is heading back to the late-night circuit, with an appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" set for this week.

Though the president is taking time this week for a little levity, he's now in the midst of a new campaign to convince Congress and American taxpayers to support his $3.6 trillion proposed budget for the next fiscal year.

Candidate Obama made several appearances on the show and I have no problem with that but somehow having the President of the United States of America appear on a late night talk show is disturbing.

I remember Clinton was on playing the Sax but I think that was doing a campaign.

Somehow it bothers me that he's doing this as president.

I'd have to fake an illness ... and that would be ... dishonest.

I know of people who get medical marijuana recommendations for back pain, stress, anxiety... no faking involved.

You'd have to fake being stressed?

Yeah - but it's waaaaay expensive to go that route.
