Remember this day, DC!
Here’s my best bud, DC Cannabis Campaign Chairman Adam Eidinger, on election night last Tuesday:

Last week, I was over at a friend’s house when he pulled out this lid of something really fresh, pulled out this big stinky bud, handed it to me and invited me to take a good smell — and man, was that some stanky-ass stuff.
So, anyway, my buddy asked me to guess where it was from; I ran down the standard guesses — Humboldt, Maui — but you could’ve knocked me over with a feather when he told me that sticky, smelly bud was grown right here in DC, in Ward 8.
All I could think of is how things could possibly be, this time next year, if Prop 71 goes through, allowing three mature plants. It also reminded me that DC has a state fair now. Can’t wait to see next year’s Blue Ribbon Ward 8 Skunk Bud.

Y’know that old saying about how history happens the first time as tragedy and the second time as farce? Well, what happens if it happens as farce the first time? You know, like when Obama was first running, and all the Liberals were screaming about how if you didn’t support him you were some kind of racist, even though anybody who did even the most cursory examination of his background would’ve told you that the guy was a total sham, a lightweight who pretty much skated into every office he held, a classic Clinton Democrat, a flunkie of the Pentagon and Wall Street?
So, here comes Hillary Clinton, taking another stab at it now that Obama’s warmed the seat up for her, and I can just see it now, the same old shit — if I don’t support Hillary, I’m a mean old sexist Teabagger, even though anybody who hasn’t been living in a goddamn’ cave for the past twenty years totally knows the score on this nasty old harpie. Anyone who points out her involvement on the board of Wal-Mart, her support for Israeli atrocities in Palestine, her support for the disaster in Iraq, or her support for corporate dictatorship is going to get a bunch of shrieking from geezing old ’70s dead-enders who can’t talk about anything but Roe V. Wade and the Glass Ceiling™.
So, folks, would it be safe to assume that American Feminism is pretty much dead? I mean, c’mon — Glass Ceiling? “Lean In”? Roe V. Wade? Is that all you tired old broads have got for us?
But, more importantly — who’s going to hold Hillary’s crown while she takes the oath of office?

Those of you who’ve been following the recent decriminalization of marijuana in DC — and the current Initiative 71 legalization campaign — have had a little taste of how badly Congress jerks us around in terms of self-government and self-determination.
We’ve had meddling Congressmen trying to scuttle our gun control laws, prevent us from funding abortions and, most recently, the notorious Maryland Rep. Andy Harris trying to stop us from implementing marijuana decriminalization — and probably one of the biggest fears right now is that Congress will try to interfere in the upcoming election here, where we’ll be electing a new Mayor, and voting on whether or not to legalize marijuana.
