Sell a bong, go to jail

He should have known better than to sell glass in an other than federally approved shape.

Dave's not here, man....

Like most potheads, the author cannot keep his mind on the topic at hand. He starts by deriding the arrest and conviction of Tommy Chong, and ends up in a movie review.

He almost wandered to the refrigerator and failed to finish the article.

Um, what article?

Where are the twinkies?

[Smogger]

Who?

[imaxmatt]

I like how they misspell Cheech's name. Its Marin not Martin. Doesn't anyone proofread?

[twittle]

Actually, he is a movie reviewer and the whole point of the article was the movie review. It just took him a while to get to it.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico was a fun movie. Depp was great.

[dead]

Depp's crazy as a loon, but he's always entertaining.

Pirates of the Caribbean was a lot of fun.

[Atlas Sneezed]

The leftists are arguling that they threw the book at Chong because his movies glorified the drug culture. Except that it is commonplace to hit celebs hard to "make an example", it's hard to argue with them.

[blackdog]

This is all about the little weasel Ashcroft and his flying mokeys who cannot get over the fact that Chong and millions of the rest of us got laid in the 60's and 70's. And we got laid by the sisters of John Ashcrof types. And a lot too!

The absence of a healthy sexual adolescence and a non-existant sense of humor causes a lot of damage when growing up. It causes some very strange behavior. Like seeing cold stone granite breasts as a danger to the state, and arresting Tommy Chong.

OTOH, if this is being orchestrated by Chong & Co. to get nine months of free PR promoting their new film soon, dopers get the last laugh on Ashcroft.

"Doesn't anyone proofread?"

Given that the article is from Vail Trail, the author of the article probably is the proofreader (and editor, and printer and ...).

[Servant of the 9]

A bong is a bong, but under the law, they can call the spoons in your kitchen "narcotics paraphenalia" if they want you, the law is that badly written.

And yes, I would feel a lot safer if Ashcroft would pull all his people off of Porn and marijuana and put them on counterterrorim for the time being.
Time enough for cleaning up porn and drugs after he has made sure we aren't gonna have Anthrax or Ebola or U-235 scattered over us.

Yeah, there was a little Pirates in his Mexico character. I liked the CIA and the "I'm With Stupid" tee shirts.

Despite his politics, I hope he at least gets nominated for Best Supporting Role.

[RightWingAtheist]

What do Tommy Chong and Monica Lewinsky have in common?

They both blew some big dope.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

What is a Depp?

Well, there are a lot of useful idiots out there who think an expanded police state is a good thing. There are even a lot of "conservatives" who are too ignorant to realize that the Constitituion was written to prevent such state actions rather than to advocate them.

[JonathansMommie]

Here's a ping for you.

[blackdog]

Do you have any idea about how fast the entire Alphabet Soup Justice umbrella would slam into their peter principle at 100mph if said Justice Dept had to target dangerous animals like terrorism, espionage, money laundering, stock market swindlers, and border security?

Tommy Chong, James Trafficant, and the like.....pay their fines, hire pleasant attorneys, are pleasant to the help, and don't throw feces at the judges.

The perfect criminals for the system. Of course this is entirely a zero sum gain regarding the needs of our nation and this needs to be explained to the Justice Department in a completely unambiguos way.

Better to Flash-Bang and shoot Eagle Scouts than to keep us safe from our real enemies. Our enemies know this and they have studied us long and hard.

Please God, let that joke catch the eye of David Letterman and Jay Leno........
