Post Inauguration

Where have Bush and the gang been hiding out since the inauguration? Not sure, but could this photo give us a hint - or have I been dreaming again?

Did You Know - Drug Busts

One of my biggest pet peeves with our governmental programs is our war on drugs. Not only does it waste buckets of money by the hour chasing drug users, but it winds up costing us in lives wasted (young, non-violent users wind up languishing in prisons) and in huge prison costs. Haven't I read recently that the US has a higher percentage of its citizens in jail than almost any of the other modern nations?

Former narcotics officer Barry Cooper says he feels guilty for making over 800 drug arrests in his career: "The war on drugs is an utterly losing proposition," he tells Radar. "We caused more harm breaking up families to put non-violent drug offenders in jail than the drugs ever did. And for what? To eradicate 1/10th of a percent of drugs on the street."

Now he has made an instructional video called Never Get Busted Again. Radar Online has printed some of Cooper's tips.
