[Nachum]

Well well well... Preezy Obamatron set free his favorite 58 drug dealers from prison today.  

Time to celebrate!  After locking your door and valuables, loading your shotgun, time to fire up the record player.. ooops, CD player, ooops, your Ipod and turning the volume up on the speakers it is definitely time to play some tasty tunes.  Tunes about...er... DRUGS and thems that sell 'em.  So my fellow FReepers, here is a small list of some of the classic druggy songs that come to mind.  It's is just exactly what that stoner of a presidente' needs after a hard day of talking crap.  I am sure that my fellow FReepers can come up with some other excellent tunes.  Just let us know...
