It only encourages him...
I totally did... At first I thought “Ohmigod, Tom Hanks was the young Reverend Jim?!?”, but then Christopher Lloyd walks on and plays the part perfectly... just as I have always expected was the backstory for Jim.... letter sweater and all!
Just... LOL.

Um, yeah. I think we’re all aware that “medical” marijuana was always a ruse to get marijuana legalized so the pot heads can get their fix.
At least most of the recent efforts to legalize marijuana are dropping the pretense. It’s all about the high.
It is unfortunate that you do not understand the scientific method. However, your lack of understanding does not magically create studies showing medical benefit for marijuana.
As usual, the honesty with which you carefully characterize a situation shines far brighter than the situation itself.
Oh look, an article about that very point...
Are those covered under Obamacare?
Probably.
I'll bet one of the consequences of the push to legalize marijuana will be an increase in the number of homeless. Of course, for liberals, that is a "win-win" situation--they get to decry the horrible society that puts these people on the street, denounce capitalism, and use those people for votes and inflating census numbers.
If all you have is a hammer, everything you see is a nail -- i.e. if race is the prism through which you see the world, you'll see race and racism everywhere. I don't think it applies here.
First of all, for most people Maureen Dowd and anything she does aren't likely to appear "cute." People who don't know who she is or don't like her or don't think of 60 something reporters stunts as childlike or amusing aren't going to find her behavior cute, let alone tweet about it.
Secondly, people who do find such behavior "cute" in White reporter will probably find it "cute" in a Black reporter. It's more a matter of class and general attractiveness to people. If you are seen as being part of their world -- which believe it or not doesn't primarily depend on race -- they'll grant you some slack.
In general, it has more to do with class than with race, and in the case of a journalist, age would be as much of a factor as race. Young people grant other young people more slack on things like this -- whatever their race -- than older people get or give.
The writer has a point about differences in how we enforce the drug laws, but this isn't the right occasion to pin it to.
