- Finally, a guy caught smoking pot and it does not seem to be a big deal. Exhibit A: Michael Phelps.
- Wait!! Shouldn't we lock him up??!! He's a drug user!!! Right is right and wrong is wrong!! (I, of course, jest.)
- What am I supposed to the tell the next kid that sits across my desk who has been arrested for pot when he says, "They had pictures of Michael Phelps and they didn't do anything to him"?
- The Ticket had a pretty good discussion over how we forgive Phelps even though he has a DWI and is an admitted pot user, yet we vilify Terrell Owens who has never even had a run in with the cops.
- The Ticket then said we probably forgive Phelps because he is an "ah, shucks, kind of guy." Which gave rise to the question: Have you ever seen an "aw, shucks, black guy?"
- AnObiter update: She's hanging out at a bar in Hawaii with Eli and Peyton Manning. Really.
- Every Denny's is giving away a free Grand Slam breakfast this morning. I wouldn't go within a mile of the place. Anyone who will stand in line for two hours to get a free $7.00 breakfast scares me.
- New Las Vegas odds to win next year's Super Bowl: New England at 8-1. Dallas is second at 9-1.
- There have been lots of Harlem Globetrotter commercials on TV recently. I can't believe I fell for that bit as a kid.
- The Collin County jury (who is unfamiliar with the term "reasonable doubt") sentenced Raul Cortez to death yesterday for his part in the 2004 quadruple murder in McKinney. It was odd to see the family of the victim smiling and hugging in the lobby for the cameras after the verdict. I'm not sure it's a reason to celebrate.
- I sound grumpy. Maybe I'm hungry.

There are certain people in American society who are "above the rules." If you don't believe that, then try not paying your taxes and see what happens to you. Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter.
Seeing the Globetrotters at the Tarrant County Convention Center was the hi lite of my life as a child.
They won every time.
So they must have been good.
Ha
They threw a bucket of tinsel into the audience after making you think it was water.
Comedic genius.
Meodowlark Lemons hands were as big as my body.
Curly Neal was nice but, scared me when he tried to get me to participate in their skit out on the floor.
He carried me out onto the boards.
I freaked
He said,"Ah, little fella, it gonna be ah right now." and took me back to my big brother.
He smelled like Hai Karate.
The End
The average age of the people standing in line is probably 60 or older. It will be like standing in line at Braums. Old people will stand in line for days if it is free. Picture of my parents.
"Long Island coaches said they would use the incident as a teachable moment, driving home the point that drugs undermine athletic performance..."
Undermine athletic performance? How much awesomer do they think Phelps could have been had he never smoked?
The only thing more irrational than MJ laws in this country is the people who buy into it and say retarded things such as this while lumping weed into the same class as other "drugs"
Denny's and IHOP's are foreign owned (as is most of OUR U.S.A.)make your own meals and stop being lazy your just putting money in the hands of other country's that dont even like us!
I try and buy Americn everytime...We are going under fast folks use your heads and think before you pull that dollar out!!!
Why do we have laws if they will not be enforced?
I think Phelps should be punished, and I most certainly believe that anyone who kills (execution style)should receive the death penalty....without a doubt!!
I think we should throw him in jail for at least a year for smokin pot. Maybe take away his medals. What a disgrace. Somebody like that doesn't deserve all the money thats he's made. Maybe spread the wealth to all the people that need it, like me. I bet he even masturbates and drinks beer.
Phelps smoking pot is a big deal. It goes to show that one can be successful - hell - the most successful Olympian of all time - and engage in a little recreational drug use. Bleeding hearts, soccer moms and especially our friends in law enforement do not like that message at all.
We took a group of 2nd grade basketball players to the Globetrotters game this past Saturday. Tickets were expensive, concessions were beyond ridiculous but the look on those faces and the enjoyment they had was well worth the price.
Gorilla, you don't know many soccer moms, huh?
Sam: [coughs] Get outta here, Dewey!
Dewey Cox: What are y'all doin' in here?
Sam: We're smoking reefer and you don't want no part of this shit.
Dewey Cox: You're smoking *reefers*?
Sam: Yeah, 'course we are; can't you smell it?
Dewey Cox: No, Sam. I can't.
Reefer Girl: Come on, Dewey! Join the party! [takes a hit off a joint]
Sam: No, Dewey, you don't want this. Get outta here!
Dewey Cox: You know what, I don't want no hangover. I can't get no hangover.
Sam: It doesn't give you a hangover!
Dewey Cox: Wha-I get addicted to it or something?
Sam: It's not habit-forming!
Dewey Cox: Oh, okay... well, I don't know... I don't want to overdose on it.
Sam: You can't OD on it!
Dewey Cox: It's not gonna make me wanna have sex, is it?
Sam: It makes sex even better!
Dewey Cox: Sounds kind of expensive.
Sam: It's the cheapest drug there is.
Dewey Cox: [at a loss and out of excuses] Hmm.
Sam: You don't want it!
Dewey Cox: I think I kinda want it.
Q: Why do Democrats keep raising taxes?
A: They don't pay them, anyway.
Seriously, though. Let's get rid of the nanny tax...if it's so hard a McKinsey consultant or a Federal judge can't hack it, it needs to go.
I have yet to work for a company that hasn't paid some kind of tax penalty. Not because of cheating, but because it's just too darn hard to get it right.
Gret pic of the oh so delicious Britney from Durty Murphy's in Downtown Fort Worth. Definately picked my afternoon up.
Why does the Sun keep on shining
Why does the Sea rush to shore

The last line was mine.
Whoever got that pic of Phelps out in the public should kill themselves. I mean anybody sorry enough to do that would rape your dog and scatter garbage all over your lawn.
Michael Phelps said he was sorry. Has TO? Maybe to get forgiven, you have to at least act like you want to be forgiven. Ted Haggard should be forgiven. And killing someone for killing? What's the sense in that. I'm a conservative Christian fortunate enough to be loved by the One who is the king of infinite chances, not just a second chance. I may face some punishment from my wrong actions but I'm forgiven and get to start anew with Him. Maybe we Christians could learn something from God's example.
Phelps should spend a little time in the pokey. Only thing worse thana pothead is a methhead.
Just tell that kid sitting across from you that smoking dope is against the law and he put his and the people around him lives at risk by doing it. Tell him he is not Michael Phelps and he should be worried about himself.
Hey, Barry.
Why don't you tell the kid sitting across from what Jim Carey told his client in Liar Liar?
"STOP BREAKING THE LAW< ASSHOLE!!!"
Spot on regarding the TO comment about bias. It could be TO or any big Pro athelete for that matter. The media would rape them over it. And we, the mob, would delight in cheering it on.
"Why do we have laws if they will not be enforced? "
Why have the laws?
Every year we seem to get further and further away from discussing Banjo's.
When they criminalize alcohol, then we can talk about the merits of the same with MJ.
Until then it's crazy for a product that has never killed anyone in human history to be illegal while one that kills 100,000s of people worldwide annually is not only legal it's practically worshiped.
Yep, 5:07, why don't we just destroy the jails, courts, and law enforcement, because we should just FORGIVE everyone/anyone who commits a crime. No punishment ever, just forgiveness, right? Let 'em do whatever they wish to whomever they wish and when they say, "oh, I'm sorry," we say...."All is forgiven." This isnt' Heaven, you know. If you do the crime, then you should do the time. Period!
Bible also says "eye for eye, tooth for tooth" ( in reference to 'life for life'). Did you not know that?
