He'd have more Olympic medals than … quite a few in the history of the games. Not bad for a useless pothead.

A pot-smoker just became the most decorated athlete in Olympic history – proving that the “gateway drug” can indeed be a gateway to greatness (the presidency, for example). But Phelps has had to maintain the public line of shame and embarrassment and anti-marijuana bullshit. I bring this up because a reader just sent the Youtube … Continue reading Good Advice For Michael Phelps

I went to see "Friday The 13th" on Saturday and enjoyed myself immensely. The critics were a little too harsh, methinks. The re-make had all the bimbos and boners that one would expect from a slasher-horror flick, but they were all added lovingly, layer after layer, to the project.

The coverage claimed that, while training, the Olympic swimmer ate 12,000 calories a day. At the time, Cronise was on a diet of … Continue reading Freezing The Fat Off

Frum fears the legalization of marijuana: It’s baffling to me that people who profess anxiety about the trend to social inequality will so often endorse drug legalization. A world of legal drugs will be a world in which the fates of the top one third of Americans and the lower two thirds will diverge even … Continue reading Frum On Pot

I'm beginning to get a major crush on Ryan Lochte, despite his lack of body or facial hair. He's so young and dumb and, er, inarticulate you keep wondering if he just borrowed Michael Phelps' bong. Then comes this quote on his new acting role on 90210 – vaulting Lochte into Kardashian/Snooki/Princess Diana level of … Continue reading It’s A Good Thing He Can Swim
