You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President. You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy. You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed. You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed. You didn’t get mad [...]

According to this new Survey USA poll 56% of adults in California support marijuana legalization (compared to 42% against.) This November marijuana legalization will be on the ballot in California. This is very encouraging news for those of us who support marijuana legalization (as I certainly do) as this poll indicates that legalization is likely [...]

Watch this video. These people are absolutely bananas (and of course, ridiculously willfully uninformed.) Listen to them praise Fox News at about 9:30 in. It’s truly disturbing. Teabaggers are nothing but the pawns of Rupert Murdoch.

This is the state of the modern Republican Party. Sue Lowden, the leading GOP candidate for Senate in Nevada (who is likely to face Harry Reid in the general election this November), actually says that those without health insurance should try “bartering” with doctors for health care.

To celebrate 4/20 NORML is giving away a free download of “Marijuana is Safer.” This book makes a really excellent (and informed) argument in favor of the legalization of marijuana. There is truly no rational reason for marijuana to be illegal. It just makes no sense. Marijuana is, in fact, much safer than drinking alcohol [...]

In a new CNN poll President Obama leads each of the top four Republican candidates for 2012 (results on the poll for the Republican primary below) by at least 8% points. Obama 53%, Mitt Romney 45% Obama 54%, Mike Huckabee 45% Obama 55%, Sarah Palin 42% Obama 55%, Newt Gingrich 43% Each head to head [...]

Just watch this video. Jon Stewart and the folks at the The Daily Show show how absurd the Fox News/Sarah Palin/Newt Gingrich response to President Obama’s new treaty with Russia to reduce nuclear weapons really is. They are basically freaking out about something that their own hero (Ronald Reagan) did in the 1980s while simultaneously [...]
