I want to alert people of this opinion by William Scheutte, Attorney General of Michigan, about the impact of medical marijuana usage in a child protective proceeding.

See: http://milawyersweekly.com/...

Not only does this bizarre opinion illegally add language to the statute, it also destroys the statute's privacy provisions by using two very different terms of art in the statute interchangeably to reach the result he wants.

I can already see judges ordering parents with valid Medical Marijuana registry cards to undergo a doctor's exam (of course a doctor of the state's choosing who doesn't believe there are any medicinal uses for marijuana), release all of their medical records (despite the Act's privacy provisions), and conclude that the parents are not using marijuana to alleviate the condition that qualified them for the card.

I am a 54 year old white male and I wish today that I was 14, so I could live to see the coming changes. But, the first thoughts I had last watching Barack Obama last night were "I wonder where Joe Anderson is tonight?"

Joe Anderson was first black man I got to know as a child. "Mr. Anderson" was our junior high school custodian and he often drove the school bus to our away sporting events. His son was a well known basketball player at Simon Gratz high school who eventually played ball at Temple University. All of us athletes loved and respected Mr. Anderson.

The latest one is John Edwards who I supported with time and money. But unlike some folks around here I’m not going show immaturity nor bloviating ego to call the guy an asshole like other well known Kossacks have because I am smart enough and old enough to have expected it. I don’t know the brain malfunction of most people who somehow elevate politicians as more than human then curse them out while gnashing their teeth and rending their garments when their flaws or lies are revealed, because frankly they look like childish fools who do not seem to have processed their personal experiences as adults into wisdom about the world.

Seneca, SC is the town in which he was born and raised as a young man. The crowd was overflowing out of the gym in which he spoke, Edwards was preceded by ex congress critter Ben Jones, more famous as "Cooter" from the Dukes of Hazard TV show, Madeline Stowe, black minister and old Edwards friend Reverend Blasingame (another Seneca son) with a church now in Sumter SC, and Dr Ralph Stanley, and his bluegrass band... he sang a few songs and strapped on his banjo and smoked.

And we know a Bushevik like we know pornography, when we see one.

"Truth is something you stumble into when you think you're going some place else." - Jerry Garcia

"I had my first rock and roll experience at a performance of The Grateful Dead in Oakland (in 1986, he was 82 years old).... Rock music had always seemed a bore to me, but I can tell you, at that concert, I found eight thousand people standing in mild rapture for five hours while these boys let loose everything on the stage. The place was just a mansion of dance. And I thought, "Holy God! Everyone has just lost themselves in everybody else here!" The principal theme of my talk was the wonderful innocence and the marvel of life when it recognizes itself in harmony with all the others. Everyone is somehow or other at one with everybody else. And my final theme was that this is the world's only of answer to the atom bomb. The atom bomb is based on differentiation: I-and-not-that-guy-over-there. Divisiveness is socially based. It has nothing to do with nature at all. It is a contrivance and here, suddenly, it fell apart."

For those old enough to remember, where were you, and what were you thinking when you looked up at the sky that night?

"On July 20, 1969, the human race accomplished its single greatest technological achievement of all time when a human first set foot on another celestial body.

"Six hours after landing at 4:17 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (with less than 30 seconds of fuel remaining), Neil A. Armstrong took the "Small Step" into our greater future when he stepped off the Lunar Module, named "Eagle," onto the surface of the Moon, from which he could look up and see Earth in the heavens as no one had done before him.

"He was shortly joined by "Buzz" Aldrin, and the two astronauts spent 21 hours on the lunar surface and returned 46 pounds of lunar rocks. After their historic walks on the Moon, they successfully docked with the Command Module "Columbia," in which Michael Collins was patiently orbiting the cold but no longer lifeless Moon." Read More

Most of what I hear today from Democrats feels off the mark, and eventually deadly to the progressive cause and America in general if we continue to lose elections. Debates by Democrats on the tactical advantages of special issues, of merely being "pro" this or "anti" are useless because it plays to the strength of our adversaries, viz., the overwhelming advantage of the Right's organizational strength in the corporate boardrooms and at the local, grass roots level throughout the nation.

We must not merely consider a change in battle tactics, but in how we wage the entire war for the hearts and souls of America. Anything falling short of a wholesale reconsideration and realignment of our basic strategy and we and our progressive ideas will continue to be defeated. Read More

My dear uncle, Lowell Aitken, a member of the America's greatest generation passed away this evening. Lowell enlisted in the US Army right after Pearl Harbor, and fought bravely in several WWII Pacific landings as a teenager. He fought with distinction also in the Korean War and the Viet Nam War. He retired from the US Army 30 years ago as a lieutenant colonel and leaves his wonderful wife and my aunt, Patricia Aitken and several daughters and grandchildren He was a good husband and father and a man who fought for and defended his country with high honor. His remains will be interred at the Presidio in San Francisco, California.

Please light a candle for the passing of one of our best. May God bless you Uncle Lowell.

As said on DU....what needs to be said at these meetings is obvious.....but let us state it again.

"New Orleans could have been our town, what is the plan here in case something like that happens?"

if any, simply any government official, the mayor, city councilperson or county commissioner do not have the answers right then and there, they should be excoriated at that meeting.

with "what the hell do you mean you 'don't know'? were you living in a cave this past month? Is this what we are supposed to expect from you when a disaster visits us, 'you don't know?'"

No politician should be allowed to get away with an answer like that considering what the nation has seen this past week.

if they think that people are not going to attend their next public meeting without having them ask this question they are idiots who need to be turned out at the next election.

go to your next town meeting and find out what the plan is.
