I'm sorry, but this deserves a big fat WTF ???

There's parasites in Washington D.C. that have harmed this nation far more than the peasants of Colombia.

The American Prospect....."Liberal Intelligence".....has just GOT to be in Roget's under "oxymoron"

Wow. This author has just demonstrated a remarkable ignorance about Fusarium species. Felt like I just walked through the dumb zone by reading that. Of course, I had to back up and take another stroll through just to make sure it really was that dumb.

Shades of paraquat, only now it's poisoning people who never touched any kind of illegal drug. Thanks, Drug Warriors!

a bunch of rednecks growing marijuana in Kentucky

I thought methamphetamine and oxycontin were the drugs of choice for Kentucky rednecks.

I didn't know pot plants even had eyes. Even so, I don't understand how blinding them will help with the war on drugs. Marijuana from a blind (visually impaired) plant is probably just as potent as from a sighted plant.

That perennial death-cult, socialism, looks even uglier when advocated by Americans.

Can Dan Burton really be this vicious and stupid?

I know the answer.

[GSWarrior]

Since when does the government want to win the war on drugs?

[mysterio]

Why does my state keep sending these statist fools to Washington?

[Sir Gawain]

I think we need to spray over DC.

FUNGUS HAVE RIGHTS TOO!

[elkfersupper]

I get a kick out of the drug warriors.

They will flock to their physician to get a scrip for the latest drug advertised on TV by "big pharm" that "cures" whatever imaginary illness they may have (induced by the TV commercial), but they advocate busting some kid who buys two cans of whipped cream, and making laws requiring people to present their papers when buying (formerly) over-the-counter cold medication, because it "might" be used for purposes for which it was not intended.

Gotta' love 'em.

[Know your rights]

those entities of the U.S. government that have studied the use of Fusarium for more than 30 years don’t recommend it either: The Office of National Drug Control Policy, also known as the Drug Czar’s office, CIA, DEA, the State Department and the USDA have all concluded that the fungus is unsafe for humans and the environment.

Who knows better: the ONDCP, CIA, DEA, and USDA, or a couple of WOD-worshipping COngresscritters?
