The Libertarian Party -- they really should relabel themselves since they're just a one issue party. How about the "Weed for All" Party?

"Emery, a self-styled activist who once called himself a "libertarian capitalist"...one who obviously supported free trade as well. This is going to be fun.

What is a bugger?

A contemptible person.  A rascal.  A scamp.

What makes this fellow a bugger?

Being, in the law's winking eye, and mine, a contemptibly scampish rascal.

It's not. It's a perversion of the same line of thought.

Does the US gov. arrest all the fraud artist-wannabees from Nigeria? They do more harm then Mark Emery.

Does the US gov. arrest all the fraud artist-wannabees from Nigeria?

Since 1995, the Secret Service has been working with (perhaps through) the Nigerian police on their 4-1-9 projectt, complete with Secret Service agents at Embassy Lagos.

[. . .]

After Nigeria?s military dictatorship, President Olusegun Obasanjo gained power in 1999. He took no notable measures about fraud or spam until he was re-elected in the peaceful 2003 election said to mark Nigeria?s transition to a civil government. In November 2003, the president announced that he was starting an inquiry into email fraud. In January, more sweeping measures were announced by Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Nigeria's Minister of Finance. She announced that within a few months Nigeria would train police to fight cybercrime, establish a Financial Intelligence Unit, and start an advertising campaign educating Nigerians about fraud. She also promised new legislation addressing money laundering within the next four months. Clearly, fraud is a better priority for the Nigerian government than more benign commericial spam. To show Nigeria's dedication, Minister Okonjo-Iweala announced the arrest of three suspected leaders in the Nigerian spam ring, but she noted that cybercrime can be difficult to fight in a developing country. She suggested that developed countries could help Nigeria fight this kind of fraud. Hopefully, the Secret Service is offering some sort of aid for these new efforts.

I think maybe the answer to your question is . . . yes.

On the question. What is a bugger?

. Liked your answer. I consulted my 1968 Websters. Like so many words in usage, there it has three meanings. As you will know, the first is a Sodomite. The second is a contemptable person. The third is "a fellow, a chap, used humorously or affectionately.

Yes, the way words are used in England can be deceiving. For the benefit of others (not yourself) here is some other usage. "Oh the silly sod, bet on the wrong horse. Oh, the lucky sod bet on the right horse". Also used, "that bastard is a rotten stinking sod". Of course, the original usage of the word sod, is to describe a homosexual- ie: sodamy.

Oh, getting down to the topic, other persons may not realise in their support for this man- a problem. That is he thinks he IS the law, he thinks he makes laws.

Probably a tax dodger to boot, I pray the Americans get their claws on his carcass. LOL

Since I have no idea what fondness this fellow might have for buggery, I thought it best not to go near the probably more widely understood usage.  But then, I'm not sure the word is that commonly understood among Americans.

We might be familiar with "don't bug me," or "bug off," but the British "bugger off" would probably leave us looking confused, wondering whether or not someone had insulted us profanely.

Not to show my age too much, but there was a time when a mischievous child might be referred to as "that little bugger . . ."  Wonder what the fallout might have been had Hal Roach renamed Our Gang to Little Buggers instead of Little Rascals?  :-)

Exactly right.

Playing off something Jokar wrote above, this guy was poking a stick at the tiger's eye, and laughing smugly while pinching his tail . . . on both sides of the border.

Enjoyed the post.

Thanks!

If you are going to break the law having a nickname like "Prince of Pot" is a bad idea.

Who cares? The seeds were shipped in Canada not the US. So tell me, what crime was committed in the USA?

I do care about the Canadian but not about any rats bum Rightwing Conspiratr1.

Sometimes . . . I too fail to read the story or try to understand it.

Yesterday, the man known as Canada's "Prince of Pot" was arrested in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on a U.S. indictment charging him with selling millions of dollars worth of marijuana seeds to customers throughout the United States.

If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, I suppose you advocate releasing those extradited, convicted and imprisoned Columbians who committed no crime in the USA.

I wonder if Canada arrested many folks who provided alcohol to Americans during prohibition?
