The economy slides closer to that black hole. Confirmation of that unlikely truth: pot users are thinner than contemporaries with similar lifestyles. And confirmation of an unsurprising truth: pot prohibitionists have as much respect for the law and for truth as anti-gunners. Second Amendment sanctuary cities. Imagine it; government actually serving the people and our rights for a change. “For the first time in a generation, Democrats are betting they’re on the winning side of the gun issue.” And they’re sending out Giffords and Kelly as their “majority” representatives to the swing states.

  • Two via Kit Perez: More evidence that the unaware and innocent are more likely to be harmed by omni-surveillance

What seemed like weeks of sheer scariness at the end of August now seems like no great big deal. I’m exhausted tonight, though. I’ve been turning down interviews for years.
