Barney Frank flew into a rage on the House floor over this until someone told him it's about the OTHER kind of crack, not the one HE'S addicted to, but the Marion Barry type....
Taxing illegal drugs is funny - the government trying to have it both ways. At least this judge has his head screwed on right.

Good decision.
Isn't this the way they caught Al Capone????
This judge must have been snorting some hot stuff before he came up with this decision. They should check his nostrils out.
