It’s never easy for a superhero when his teen-boy sidekick start shooting up. But weren’t Green Arrow and Green Lantern more than lame enough to drive anyone to serious narcotics?

MO DRUG WAR
In this week’s LA CityBeat, I have not one, but two drug related pieces. The first on the FDA’s absurd statement that marijuana has no medical value...

And also a more fanciful musing on the possible Mexican legalization of the personal stash...

DON’T YOU JUST ADORE THE DRUG WAR?
The following news report fell from the trailer park blue without attribution...
"Authorities say about 40 people were evacuated from a Walgreens after a methamphetamine laboratory was found in the trunk of a car in the store's parking lot. Sheriff officials say 45-year-old Michael Wright, 19-year-old Jodie Duncan and 31-year-old Jeremie Messer, all of Ashland, Alabama were arrested. They are charged with conspiracy to manufacture meth, unlawful possession of listed chemicals and marijuana possession. Authorities got a tip that the group was visiting several drug stores buying cold medicine, which is used to make meth. On the other hand, the drive-thru traffic was moving at a rather brisk pace."


In the matter of Captain America, someone at Marvel seems to have been so star at cooperating with the FBI that they forgot how Cap. A himself was a drug created creature, having been transformed from scrawny arts major Steve Rogers by injections of the Super Soldier Serum developed by Dr. Emil Erskine, that had driven earlier test subjects violently insane.


The secret word is Higher

QUOTE OF THE LAST MILLENNIUM
"There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old system and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new one." -Machiavelli, 1513

Do I really need to comment on this or shall we just start searching the crawlspace under the house?



THE FALL OR JUST WISHFUL THINKING?
This is what it said in the Washington Post..."Porter J. Goss was forced to step down yesterday as CIA director, ending a turbulent 18-month tenure marked by an exodus of some of the agency's top talent and growing White House dissatisfaction with his leadership during a time of war."
But I’m wondering what the Vegas odds might be that Goss has really gone because – while singing like a fucking canary on his way to jail – former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Rancho Santa Fe) fingered Goss as a face at the hooker parties at the Watergate and other defense contractor bribery shenanigans. Oh my, is the entire house of cards actually collapsing for real?
