Court Rules Against Pot for Sick People. I'm kind of speechless about this. On the one hand, we know who's running things. On the other, it's painful to think we have a government that would actually go to court to defend this position. Dan Gillmor: This is a cruel decision. People who are ill have found marijuana to be a valuable part of their recoveries, or at least coping with disease. Now, a federal government that increasingly insists on the right to intervene in our most private affairs insists on adding grievous insult to crippling injury. (I'll be watching this space for more.)

Read and/or watch Bill Moyers' speech at the Take Back America conference.

I actually thought seriously about posting a picture of myself in sexy underwear, but I don't have any good ones (just forget about new ones) and then I thought it might be more creative just to have a big cat-fight with these damned bitches. Although, truthfully, I can't think of anything catty to say about them. Via Lance, who is stirring things up. read on

On the whole women blogging thing. It's the idiots who are booking these events that "diss" the ladies. I'm sure Blogbebrity is working on their swim-suit edition and I'll ask Avedon to send in her sexy underwear shot then.
