ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan 01, 2003 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Cocaine appears to damage and perhaps destroy the brain cells associated with the "high" it produces, researchers reported Wednesday.

"...the specific neurons interacting with cocaine are disturbed, damaged and maybe destroyed in the drug-use process."

[Winged Hussar]

This is payback in kind, truth for falsehood and with compound interest, for the Obama campaign's propagation of rumors that John McCain has an age-related neurodegenerative disease. Cokehead Obama might himself have neurodegenerative problems because he "snowed" himself as stated in "Dreams From My Father."

Cocaine is one of the most potent, addictive, and unpredictable recreational drugs, and thus can cause the most profound and irreversible damage to the nervous system. The high risk associated with cocaine remains the same regardless of whether the drug is snorted, smoked, or injected into the user's bloodstream. In addition to the intense damage cocaine can cause to the liver, intestines, heart, and lungs, even casual use of the drug will impair the brain and cause serious damage to the central nervous system. Although cocaine use affects many components of the body, including vision and appetite, the most significant damage cause by cocaine takes place in the brain and central nervous system.

If you wanna hang out youve got to take her out; cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine.
Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine

Was Obama acting white snorting coke or was he acting black smoking crack. If he did coke like a white guy will it hurt his reputation among African Americans as “one of them”.

...head down Scott; turn up Main
lookin' for that girl who sells co-caine.
Co-caine, runnin' all around my brain.

mmmhmmm, momma, come here quick,
that old cocaine 'bout to make me sick.
Co-caine, runnin' all around my brain.

I doubt there was all that much mind to damage. His maternal grandfather was a nut who wanted a boy so much, he named Obama’s momma “Stanley”. Now that guaranteed she would be a real well adjusted human being. She dropped a sickly looking puke of a kid who steeped himself in malignant ideologies and eventually learned how to milk the affirmative action gravy train. He then hooked up with unrepentant terrorists in the cesspool of Chicago and learned how to ride that corrupt political system. Then Joe Biden noticed he was clean and was literate enough to read a teleprompter and the rest is history.

Brain damage? Might explain a lot..........

Sad to say most of AMerica is "on" something, both/all partys..
Whether illegal or prescription..

Could be why the republican party has John McLaim as Prez. candidate..
AND the democrats have Kingfish as their candidate..

[LegendHasIt]

The question is, was Obama an ignorant empty-suit marxist BEFORE the cocaine, or did the cocaine turn a nice, smart fella into what he is now?

(Given his parentage, I’ll assume he was already like that.)

Take a snip of this then play a little riff, don’t be afraid to try
Don’t need no airplane to get off the ground there’s more than one way to fly
Have a little taste, Baby, don’t hesitate, every hit don’t have to be a song
Gonna take you to the cosmos, Baby, and boogie with you all night long
Riding out on a rail, feels so fine
Talking ‘bout that cocaine express, mainline, got a good head of steam
Never lived down on the Bayou, but I been busted in New Orleans, New Orleans
I can roll all night with you, Baby got a land? I’m just in from Marin
Can’t get it off, but I can get it on and we’ll be truckin’ ‘till the break of day
Here comes the doo-dah dealer on his Hog three wheeler, 250 pounds of sin
He’s made your car the main attraction. you wanna beef up his action
But he will cut you, before he would cut you in, the only place to win
Riding out on a rail, feels so fine
Talking ‘bout that cocaine express, mainline, taking a midnight cruise
Never lived up in the Northlands, but I been snowblind out in Sandford Dew
Snowblind in Sanford Dew, that’s enough for you, snowblind

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey jones is ready, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

This old engine makes it on time,
Leaves central station bout a quarter to nine,
Hits river junction at seventeen to,
At a quarter to ten you know its travlin again.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey jones is ready, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

Trouble ahead, lady in red,
Take my advice youd be better off dead.
Switchmans sleeping, train hundred and two is
On the wrong track and headed for you.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey jones is ready, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
Got two good eyes but you still dont see.
Come round the bend, you know its the end,
The fireman screams and the engine just gleams...

I decided to google the song I posted because I didn't think Jackson Browne wrote it (though it appeared on Running on Empty) and I wanted to find out who did. Then, naturally, I got curious and wondered when Jackson Browne fell off the globe, so I went to his website.

All I can say is, some people never learn.

Cocaine appears to damage and perhaps destroy the brain cells ...

Makes you say "uhhh, errrr, uhhh...." a lot when you don't have a teleprompter!

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Goes without saying. Look at GWB.
