Some news items from this past week:
– A 68-year-old man in Oregon was shot and killed by police and his 80-year-old girlfriend was arrested on marijuana charges. The police raided their house at 10:30pm on Wednesday night. Neighbors were shocked at hearing the news, although a drug task force had apparently discovered “dozens” of marijuana plants on their property in October. No news articles have said whether or not the police found any more plants on Wednesday, or whether or not the victims were cardholders in Oregon’s medical marijuana program.
– Here in Washington, the trial of Bruce Olson starts this Monday, March 9 in Port Orchard and could last at least a week. Olson was raided by the WestNET drug task force, and is being prosecuted despite being authorized by a doctor to grow and use medical marijuana. The Cannabis Defense Coalition is working to get supporters to the courtroom. If you would like to travel to Port Orchard for the trial, contact the Washington State Potline at 888-208-5332 and press 0 to reach a volunteer.
– Joe Turner at the Tacoma News-Tribune has an update on the potential state budget savings with the passage of SB 5615, which would decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana. Although I’m not sure if I’m in the “generation of Cheech and Chong.” I think my parents are though.
– Silja JA Talvi talks about the Obama Administration and what they should be doing to limit the damage being done by the drug war.

Lee, I heard an interesting story about the Gang Violence in Vancouver(on the Fraser) might be tied to the Drug Violence in Mexico. The gangs in Vancouver are fighting over a dwindling supply brought on by the problems in Mexico, and the U.S. caught in the middle. The Gang Violence is heating up the debate in Victoria for sure, how can they avoid it, dissolution day for the Legislature is coming. The Liberal Premier has no choice to ask for it, BC has Fixed Election Dates, but they still have the formality of dissolving the Legislature and calling the election, which is in the middle of May. The Liberals love to trash the NDP for the Gang Violence, despite the fact that when they swept the NDP out of power in 2001, they had 4 years of near total control of the Provincial Legislature to pass sweeping anti-crime legislation. What I am watching the BC Election is for the referendum on changing the way the MLAs are elected, to a proportional system similar to Ireland. It’s a system that will put Puddybud and Mr. Cynical out of buisness if they were politicians, can’t trash an opponent if you might want the opponent supporters to vote for you. I heard a story that when going door to door, Irish politicians if the voter says no on if they can have their vote, ask “then can I have your second choice vote”. System works so good, it has survived several attempts by the major parties to repeal it. The BC Voting Reform Referendum barely failed in 2005. BC is almost unique in Canada, for being a two party system, unlike the Federal Parliament, which has 4 parties in it, the Conservatives, Liberals, New Democratic Party, and the Bloc Quebecois. The last party has one stated goal, to bring down Canada.(Look on a map, you’ll see why the Liberals and Tories try to fight over who is better for National Unity. Quebec is right in the middle between Ontario and Western Canada, and Atlantic Canada). The two major parties in BC are the Center-Right Liberal Party(that’s right, they lean right at times, especially when they had the 77-2 seat majority), and the Center-Left New Democratic Party. The Liberals hold seats at the provincial level that are represented in Ottawa by Tories. I don’t know if the BC Marijuana Party is still around, their party platform was pretty much self-explanatory.
One example of the same mess, different results up there was BC Ferries. The NDP ran BC Ferries pretty badly, with a noble experiment of trying to reduce Tawassen-Vancouver Island crossing times, but the high speed catamaran turned out to be a failure(Another example of all politics is local, WSF had the same concept with Passenger Only ferries, the Chinook class, since retired, sold to a California Operator). The Liberals try to privatize it and fail, with few if any bidders, and one boat ends up on the bottom of the sea!(MV QUEEN OF THE NORTH)
Broadway Joe spews:
I think your statement on the Bloc Quebecois is a little harsh. Bringing down Canada would be a wee bit beyond the reach of the the federal-level counterparts of the Parti Quebecois. Canada would survive just fine without Quebec, albeit in a bifurcated form (think the separation of India and Pakistan – Pakistan was separated into Eastern and Western segments until the Eastern half rebelled and became Bangladesh in 1971). But I will agree on BC politics being a little on the weird side, even by Canadian standards. Don’t forget about the weirdness of the Social Credit party back in the day, either.

Yeah, there’s been a lot of news this week about the gang violence in Vancouver tied to Mexican gangs. Your description of the article, though, sounds like the article may have been relying on some bad assumptions as to the cause.

When Barack Obama announced his champion to rescue the world from economic ruin, it was the first time most Americans had ever heard the name Tim Geithner.

If anyone in the US media had thought to ask a former Australian prime minister for his assessment, they would have heard a different view. And they would not have been so surprised at Geithner’s performance since.

In other words, Geithner fundamentally misdiagnosed the problem. And his misdiagnosis led to a dreadfully wrong prescription.

Gore afraid to debate on man-made global warming still? Damn, sounds like obama calling out rush and then being afraid to debate him without a teleprompter.
Prague, March 5 (CTK) – Former U.S. vice-president Albert Gore allegedly feared a direct confrontation with Czech President Vaclav Klaus at a conference on global warming, and this is why Gore’s presentation was rescheduled for another day, Lidove noviny (LN) writes Thursday, referring to Klaus’s spokesman
…
However, Gore, a Nobel Peace prize winner, will speak at the conference Thursday. The organisers have changed the programme at the very last moment, LN writes.
“A dialogue (between Klaus and Gore) was to take place on one stage. We accepted the U.S. proposal positively.
Has the goreacle ever debated anyone on man made global warming?

Reset, overcharge. Not much of a difference in the obama administration.
The secretary of state shows up in russia with a gift of a button that says reset. Oops, no one in the government is smart enough to figure out the button really said overcharge.
It didn’t quite work out as she planned.
She handed him a palm-sized box wrapped with a bow. Lavrov opened it and pulled out the gift—a red plastic button on a black base with a Russian word “peregruzka” printed on top.
“We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?” Clinton said as reporters, allowed in to observe the first few minutes of the meeting, watched.
“You got it wrong,” Lavrov said, to Clinton’s clear surprise. Instead of “reset,” he said the word on the box meant “overcharge.”
This after the obama gift giving debacle that insulted the britons. Even npr noticed the audacity of insult.
President Barack Obama’s gift of a set of DVDs to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown appalled the British media, furious about the lack of traditional protocol afforded to Brown while he was in Washington.

Scientist #1 was quoted as being a “skeptic” but actually agree with Gore and the IPCC later in the article.
Scientist #2 was identified as a member of the IPCC – that was false.
Poor puddy went apoplectic trying to explain how I was wrong….but all he did was make a bigger fool of himself.
Yeah, Pud – you need to actually quote from reputable sources or go bck and read the origianl source material – otherwise your crap is just that – crap.
Not the first time I have fact-checked Puddy and found his crap to be wanting. A lot of the time he cherry picks a quote but does not read the rest of the article. That is a sign of someone with a point of view who will use only the “facts” that prove his case and ignore the other facts that disprove it. A true academic would not work like that and an honest person would not cherry pick the data. Yes – in an argument you want to show your side…but not to the extent of being a fool about it.

Words mean nothing to him and now our money means nothing to him.
This is idiotic. Bush expanded the federal government significantly while people like me complained about it – because the things we were spending it on were things that would not grow our economy.

I have a degree in Aerospace Engineering. I can do whatever math you throw at me. If you want to make some kind of a detailed argument about the effects of Obama’s spending relative to past spending, go for it. I can keep up. But you’re not.

25 police officers hired in march 2009. $1.25 million in stimulus funds to cover the officers’ salaries through Dec. 31.2009
That’s $50,000 per officer. If those police officers do their jobs well, they save communities untold amounts of money in increased business (because a safer community promotes commerce) and in reducing theft (which drains more money from insurance claims, individual productivity) and many other ways that have police officer benefits a community.
Of course, as I’ve argued before, if the police are out there only enforcing a nanny state, then that can have a detrimental effect on a community. That’s where the real argument lies, and when you grow up, we can maybe have a good discussion along those lines.

Fox News is a news outfit that uses your limited ability to understand economics to get you to froth at the mouth about any politician that wants to undermine the interests of the very rich. You are being tricked, and as amusing as it is for me to watch, it affects me as well, so I have an interest in having you (and others) dislodge your head from your ass.
Paying for the police officers was nothing more than a staged show.
And as sheep do, you liked it.
Actually, I’ve often criticized the kinds of law enforcement investments Obama has made, especially the money going towards drug task forces. But you’re making such an abstract argument about generic police officers, the only thing you’re proving is that you have an extremely limited understanding of how this all works.

“$50,0000 for 9 months of work seems high.
Not really. It’s a little more than half of what I make, yet when the job of a police officer is done well, it can have tremendous benefit for a community. ”
It was a political scam.

Obama plans to go to Ohio to show off his money scam. Just happens a week before he arrives
“last week Coleman announced that the Justice Department had told the city it would get $1.25 million in stimulus funds to cover the officers’ salaries through Dec. 31.”
On Jan.1,2010 25 police officers are out of a job. Let the show go on.
I can see how it works like every other thing obama has done just B.S.
What’s so funny about HA team is you guys/gals see everything through Socialist filtered glasses. If you read the truth and it’s against obama you turn it into a lie or change the subject. Your very hollow people I feel sorry for you. I guess being atheist gives you very little to believe in. So when you saw obama you jumped for it. Now you can’t defend the little guy screwing up every time he opens his mouth so you’re consistently attacking us good guys/gals.
God loves you even though you don’t love him.

He has a healthcare plan to dump on us and is alarmed to find out:
“An estimated 116,000 registered nurse positions are unfilled at U.S. hospitals and nearly 100,000 jobs go vacant in nursing homes, experts said.”
Another halve ass attempt to screw you.
