The things in my head go 'round and 'round

Ok, so I suck at live blogging. I admit it. I got to wrapped up in yelling at the television.

MLW had to tell me to quiet down more than once. It could have been the influence of the Bell’s Brewing Kalamazoo Stout that I was drinking at the time. That is some good beer.

Anyway, I was not too impressed with how McCain came out on the offensive. I think that he just showed himself to be a bitter old man who knows that he is losing.

19 days until the election. Find out where your voting precinct is, and make sure that all of your friends know where theirs are. Start planning your election watch party. Get the drinks on ice, and order the cake.

Namaste.

And just heard that McCain is proud of the people who come to his campaign rallies. Even the ones who have shouted “Kill Him” in reference to Barack Obama.

Interesting.

I am originally from Michigan. Automobile heaven. I do love me some Detroit Rolling Iron. Especially the supercharged ones. Like that Dodge in “Fast and Furious”. That was a beautiful car.

But I don’t live in Michigan any longer. Though I do have a friend who is in love with Pontiac cars with superchargers. Matter of fact he has a GTO that he has a supercharger on. His Pontiac sounds like a jet taking off when he fires it up.

I keep telling him that he needs to find a nice import to supercharge. I tell him to buy a mercedes supercharger and put it into a nice 450SL. He just laughs. He only like American cars. But I did tell him about superchargerpros dot com. He went and checked out their website, and ordered some parts for his Pontiac. He liked their prices, and was really happy about the fast shipping.

Check them ou.

Namaste.

I got asked this question the other day. By someone older than I. And it made me happy, that this person was going to finally vote, and they didn’t want to screw it up.

November 4th is Election Day. It is a Tuesday. Check for when your polls open, and get out and vote. Please. I am asking nicely, because there are many important issues out there.

The Presidency is one of those important issues.

In Michigan they are voting on either adopting a Medical Marijuana law, along with a stem cell law. Both very important issues.

That you need to vote on. At this point it doesn’t matter which side you are on, just vote. Please.

I am asking nicely again.

Namaste.

Flint, Michigan passed a Medical Marijuana Law back in 2007. This is an article taken from the Flint Journal.

“The city of Flint, MI, voted to allow patients in need to have access to medical marijuana. The Saginaw News reported on March 4, 2007 (“Flint Pot Vote Raises Awareness”) that “By a 1,777-1,101 vote, Flint became the fifth Michigan city to approve legally puffing pot for health reasons. Use remains illegal under state and federal law. Officials reminded Flint residents not to start loading up their hookah pipes — or face the consequences. Other Michigan cities that have approved medical pot-use measures are Ann Arbor, Detroit, Ferndale and Traverse City. Lansing is the next target, says NORML, a pro-marijuana outfit, and the goal is to get a medical dope initiative on the statewide ballot. Medical marijuana use is legal in 11 states.”

According to the News, “Whether marijuana is safer or a more effective painkiller than, say, OxyContin is debatable, but some users think so. Cancer patients who have tried it say pot works best at inducing appetite. It has beneficial uses, and we’re sympathetic to those who use it legally. The biggest fear coming from law enforcement circles is that legalized medical marijuana use could lead to additional abuse and wider recreational use. Yet the abuse of prescription drugs, the International Narcotics Control Board said last week, is about to exceed the use of “practically all illicit drugs with the exception of cannibis.” The board, an offshoot of the United Nations, said the number of Americans abusing prescription drugs nearly doubled between 1992 and 2003, to 15.1 million from 7.8 million people.”

The News noted that “A free and compassionate society ought to understand common sense trumps perceptions of a drug that may be less dangerous than prescriptions. It’s time to take a deep breath — inhale — and place sick people ahead of ideology. The Flint vote and the others before it indicate that more people realize marijuana, like other drugs used properly, is not always evil.”

I find this pretty interesting. Any comments?

Namaste.
