Legalize it, Don't Criminalize It, and by the way, the Music Didn't Die

Sanity from the right?! Say it's so! From the notoriously fascist ORLANDO SENTINEL, of all places...

If marijuana were legalized, regulated and taxed at the rates applied to alcohol and tobacco, revenues would reach about $6.2 billion annually, according to an open letter signed by 500 economists who urged President Bush and other public officials to debate marijuana prohibition.

Madonna is Courtney, Part II

You be the judge.
Oh, and this, for fun:

Madonna is Now Courtney Love

Madonna's newest "incarnation"? She's Courtney Love! Wicked awesome! More yoga, less bipolar medication. Used to LOVE Courtney. Now, she looks like this. Her set (Madonna's) at Live Earth kicked ass.

NOTE: DUE TO VIACOM BEING DOUCHEMONKEYS THEY PULLED THIS, AND ALL OTHER MADONNA AT LIVE EARTH STUFF FROM YOUTUBE. GOD FORBID ANYONE SEE THE WHOLE THING, NAH....

Watched most of the LIVE EARTH concert both online and on like 2435 different channels (due to it being about 104 degrees this weekend and my needing some time to veg at home), all of the coverage seemed to jump randomly between live feed and pre-taped bits, from city to city, with no rhyme or reason. Tres frustrating NOT to see the Police's entire set until we happened to flip back to BRAVO at 11pm; and its a good thing we watched Madge on the internet or we wouldnt have seen HER whole set...and where the hell was U2, Dylan, et als? More on that travesty here....

WCBS-FM rumored to be making a comeback. Hopefully, without their terminal DJ's, all of whom were paid out of their contracts and have now found greener pastures. But as my father says, its a good thing to have the oldies back in the #1 market in America...its good for all of us!
In sports this weekend, Roger Federer, Venus, Jamie, Kimi, and a scrum after the IRL race! (Lewis Hamilton, driver spectaculaire and leading candidate for Hottie of the Year, finished 3rd in his home GP.)

Best. Fridge. Ever!

Thanks to Jordin and Eric for a killer brunch on July 4th (nice to meet you, too, Lucy!), and to Robert for the fireworks invite!
