* mark kleiman argues that either cocaine and alcohol should be legal, or they should both be banned. if we opt for the former, i want an ounce or two of blow for the party when the fitzgerald indictments are handed down. if we move to the latter, ive got 2 bottles of champagne in the fridge, and no law enforcement officer will deprive me of that pleasure - hopefully fitzgerald will read out the indictments live on tv - one by one - and we can take a sip for every indictment. and hopefully, the 2 bottles wont last till the end of his list.

americablog: "There ought to be a constitutional amendment to stop Christian conservative activists from getting married, adopting kids, or at the very least can we please ban heterosexual men from the priesthood?" (link)
