April Showers

- The Washington Post reported that Obama recently met with the [Grateful] Dead. "After admiring the Scarlet Begonias, the band went next door to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building to meet with the most prominent Deadheads in the Obama White House: senior advisors David Axelrod and Pete Rouse, and deputy chief of staff Jim Messina. All three are planning to go to tonight's one and only Dead show in Washington..." {g.kral}

-Apparently there's this electric cigarette that vaporizes nicotine, thus eliminating the most harmul part: smoke. Check it out HERE. {jc}

-Gothamist recently made me aware of this sad craze of "Pumping Parties" where people who can't afford legitimate silicone implants, take a DIY approach and inject themselves with "industrial-grade silicone, available at most hardware stores.... but one E.R. doctor says substitutes like castor oil, mineral oil, petroleum jelly and even automobile transmission fluid have been used."

-Happy Holidaze for all my heads!

Tax Day is

TEA BAG DAY in honor of the Boston Tea Party.......and the RNC wants you to send those lousy liberal Dems a tea bag HERE.

Spring Chickens

~ A SF writer postulates on using boobs as an energy source HERE.

~ Props to Kal Penn for ditching Hollywood for eastside's Tinseltown and becoming the associate director of the White House Office of Public Liaison. Sounds like a great PR gig for a stoner from Jers. Go Brown!!!

~ From the land down under, we get reports of a mother arrested for drunk driving and breast feeding AT THE SAME TIME!!! HERE.

~ Fox news told me that Obama hosted a seder dinner in honor of the chosen's tribe Passover holiday. However, unlike Clinton who did the same, Obama actually attended the dinner. Le Chaim!

~ And some news to put you in your place this Spring Friday:
One of this year's NYTimes scholarship winners is "a 20-year-old who immigrated from China with her parents in 2007 (but her parents returned, because it was too tough), makes $560/month and pays $550 in rent, leaving $10/month, 'which she spends carefully on large bags of rice, chicken leg quarters at 49 cents a pound, and whatever vegetables are cheapest.' Thanks to 'two free meals a day at school, a student MetroCard and the unexpected kind act— her English teacher, for instance, gave her $100,' she manages—and has a 93 average at her high school."

I'm not one to remember my dreams

...........but recently I've been waking up to residual memories of them and it's weird.
