Town hall participant to Gov. Christie: Hey dude, where's my pot?

Two days ago at a Flemington town hall meeting in New Jersey, Governor Chris Christie received a question in the audience, David Barnes, a pleasant fellow from Tewksbury Township who is a medical marijuana proponent and depends on weed to suppress his pain and agony of a debilitating illness.

He was in possession of half a gram of marijuana and pipe, and received a summons to appear in court. As a result, he came straight to Governor Christie to tell the court, he went to the big man for help.

Video: 11 Reasons To Vote For Democrats

Heh! Good short video, something of a highlight reel of Democrat arrogance and stupidity.

Line Of The Week

Well, it was an observation. Heh! h/t DougPowers on Twitter.

The 4 minute round up of the week in blogging via Stephen Green aka VodkaPundit that features a quote from my blog, among other interesting and, um, ... attractive features!

Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration

Some background via Sissy Willis. Fascinating. One would expect it to almost come across as campy. Yet, it doesn't, somehow - except for the truly cynical, perhaps. And I'm pretty damned cynical, just not where some things are concerned, perhaps.

William Shatner Does Levi Johnston

Ha. Father in name only Levi Johnston claims he was "Shat" on by William Shatner for this bit. Get used to it, punk. It won't be the last time. It isn't even the first time. Your handlers do it to you every day, you're just too freaking stoopid to notice.

Giant Jellyfish Sink Fishing Trawler

Dang. Those things are big. Check out the video here, or below - neat, though. Wait for the diver to come into view. I don't think I'd be swimming quite so close to one. Sort of makes you feel like peanut butter inside just watching it.

You could say it was the jellyfish, or you could say it was the overzealous fishermen on board. While trying to haul in a catch of several dozen giant Nomura's jellyfish - one of the largest in the world - a Japanese fishing trawler tipped right over.

According to the Telegraph, "The crew of the fishing boat was thrown into the sea when the vessel capsized, but the three men were rescued by another trawler, according to the Mainichi newspaper. The local Coast Guard office reported that the weather was clear and the sea was calm at the time of the accident."

It's no wonder only a few dozen could capsize a boat. Each jellyfish can weigh as much as 450 pounds.

Outrage, Or Just Outrageous?

Did you see the extended video out of Berkeley? Geez. Many of them are just kids - content warning for language.

Tech Gadget Advertising In Europe

They really do it much better than we do here. Basically safe for work except for a quick flash as blurry as it is quick with the smaller scale. Original size available via YouTube.

The War On Drugs

Why are we losing, exactly? What ... a ... moron, bringing a loaded weapon into the classroom, real sharp. And he's suing us??

A DEA agent who accidentally shot himself in the foot while demonstrating gun safety to school children is suing the agency, saying video of the incident has made him the joke of the Internet.
