Judge Blasts Government Opposition To Medical Marijuana
This is outstanding. 50 seconds of Peter Tosh truth.
Judge Andrew Napolitano - April 18, 2011
"What is baffling beyond belief is the amount of ardent opposition to Medical Marijuana use. It is a Godsend for those suffering from horrible diseases like Glaucoma and yet there are self righteous ignorant control freaks in the government who want to keep these people in perpetual pain."
Two must reads if you've not seen them:
- Sell $31 Of Pot And Go To Jail For 10 Years
- Wall Street Tool Mitt Romney Is A Cold-Blooded Bastard To 80-lb Medical Marijuana Patient In Wheelchair

Matt Taibbi "Justice Department Has No Appetite To Take ANY Cases Against Wall Street Executives" (Spitzer, Cooper)
Video - Anderson Cooper, Eliot Spitzer, Matt Taibbi - April 14, 2011
Discussion of Goldman Sachs and Wall Street crime. Taibbi begins at 3:00. On Attorney General Eric Holder bringing charges against Goldman Sachs:
Cooper: "Do you think the Justice Department will prosecute?"
Spitzer: "If they don't, the Attorney General should resign."
Say what you will about Spitzer, I'm glad this is finally being said on national television. The blogosphere knows Holder is useless, but it's about time the rest of America starts finding out. Bravo.

CHART: Medicare Spending From 1980 Thru 2018
Whether or not Paul Ryan has discovered the correct solution, discussed inside, we think everyone can agree that something must be done.
A good place to start would be revisiting Medicare Part D, the prescription drug benefit. As a result of this legislation, Medicare is unable to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies. David Walker called it the single most fiscally irresponsible bill in the last 50 years of Congress. And Walker is not prone to hyperbole.. You can thank Billy Tauzin for that particular gift to bankrupt future generations.
