The Denver 4/20 Celebration of Pot Legalization

"What We Saw at the Denver 4/20 Celebration of Marijuana Legalization," produced by Paul Feine. 2:30 minutes.

Original release date was April 25, 2014. Original writeup is below.

On Easter Sunday, April 20, 2014, tens of thousands of people gathered in Denver to attend the 2014 420 Rally. For the first time ever, the annual event was a celebration of marijuana legalization rather than a protest against a failed policy. Reason TV brought cameras to the event. This is what we saw.

Donald Sterling's wife of more than 50 years describes his alleged mistress as a gold digger who seduces older, wealthy men and persuades them to shower her with gifts, according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on March 7.

The Clippers team owner and a woman identified as V. Stiviano allegedly began an affair after meeting at the 2010 Super Bowl game and were still in the relationship as of the filing date, according to the lawsuit filed by Rochelle H. Sterling, who is described in the suit as "a married woman seeking to protect and recover community property in her individual capacity."

Rochelle Sterling alleges that her husband used community property to buy Stiviano a 2012 Ferrari, two Bentleys and a 2013 Range Rover, worth a total of more than $500,0000.

Sterling also allegedly gave Stiviano $1.8 million to buy a duplex on West 4th Street near the Beverly Center last December, according to the suit, which claims that Sterling additionally provided her with $240,000 for upkeep and living expenses.

I was telling my wife about this story and how he was getting raked over the coals. She thought I meant he was getting blasted for screwing around on his wife, spending all their money on his young girlfriend, and publicly and personally humiliating his wife by prancing around with this young girl on national TV. I'm like no, ALL of that was perfectly ok. No one had any problem with him doing that at all. Perfectly acceptable behavior. Hell It's LA he probably would have gotten into less trouble for child molestation. I'm not condoning his assholie,ignorant statements but interesting what is decided by the media what is acceptable assholiness and what is not.

WHEN DID HE SAY THAT? I suffered through most of that show the other night. His tone was one of general derision for the celebrants and partakers. I got the impression he was not a fan of the direction certain states were headed.

O'Reilly is a 'moderate' in that he takes the worst statist positions of the right and the worst statist positions of the left and jams them together into one vile Irish package.

This is why people shouldn't photograph the police - the cop-bashing media will just take everything out of context and use the pictures to make propaganda.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

In the good old days, Officer Suilla and his buddies would have simply denied the allegations, and faced with conflicting testimony between some perp with a grudge and several peace officers, everyone would have simply accepted the peace officers' version. Case closed.

This is where they're mostly good cops shit just falls apart. There were two cops cuffing and holding this kid while the third one strangled him. Fucking heroes, all of them.

I'm not sure how you could "prove" that more cops are thugs than not? What sort of stats are there?

Well then I suppose the most honest answer would be that we have no idea the ratio of good cops to bad cops, and anyone who makes the "they're mostly good cops" argument is still full of shit.

Update: The cop who did this has already been fired from his position with the Knoxville police, less than 3 hours after the story broke.

That's a well-run police department. If every department was run like this, America would be a drastically better place.

Sarah Palin at NRA rally: 'Waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists'

Speaking Saturday at the National Rifle Association's "Stand And Fight" rally at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate accused the Obama administration of instating counterterrorism policies that "coddle adversaries."

"Come on. Enemies, who would utterly annihilate America, they who'd obviously have information on plots, to carry out Jihad. Oh, but you can't offend them, can't make them feel uncomfortable, not even a smidgen," she said. "Well, if I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we'd baptize terrorists."

Saturday's rally was part of the NRA's annual meeting, which drew thousands to Indianapolis.

During her speech, Palin focused on Second Amendment rights, which she said liberals are "attacking" in addition to the United States' "foundational values and tradition." According to Palin, creating gun-free zones in schools and other public buildings is "stupid on steroids."

A reminder of what we have to work with if we associate with Republicans.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

Hippie.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

How exactly do we know that the Obama administration has put a stop to torture (including outsourcing it to allies)?

Because the administration denies it's doing torture?

[Irish]

Well, the media hasn't been talking about it, and we know how the media always goes after Obama when he's doing something evil.

[Irish]

Holy fucking shit.

[BardMetal]

Well her thoughts about gun control are right on.

As far as how to deal with Jihadists, well thats a little murky. They're aren't exactly soldiers, but they're not quite criminals.

The war of terror has been morally gray since the beginning, and I have yet to hear of a good solution that I like.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

If thinking about it hurts your head, do the next best thing: get your pom-poms and cheer for whatever your team is doing (or claims it's doing).

[BardMetal]

Whose cheering? When you go after jihadist do you send cops to arrest them like criminals, or soldiers to shoot them? If the soldiers capture them should they be treated like enemy soldiers, like criminals, pirates, etc?

This is the biggest problem with fighting the war on terror, it's a clusterfuck combination of both military and police action.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

I was sympathizing with your situation by mocking the people who think there's a simple answer. I'm sorry if it got too snarky.

[BardMetal]

Oh nevermind then, my mistake.

[Calidissident]

Regardless, torture is not justified or legal. I think "jihadists" in the country should be treated as criminals. Abroad, it gets murkier, depending on where they are, how feasible capture is, how trustworthy the local government is, etc.

[Dances-with-Trolls]

John Bolton must be furious he didn't think of that little zinger first.

[The Immaculate Trouser]

Brilliant. Just fucking brilliant. *shakes head*

I'm not in favor of waterboarding, but perhaps the waterboarding enthusiasts can construct a more careful, less glib argument for an act that is well outside the norm of behavior for a western democracy.

[Heroic Mulatto]

that is well outside the norm of behavior for a western democracy

In how we imagine ourselves at our best? Sure. De facto? I'm not so sure.

[The Immaculate Trouser]

That's fair considering our use of rendition, but I don't think waterboarding enthusiasts necessarily want to argue that tack -- especially considering how embarrassed most Westerners get at the mention of these more sordid incidents.

[Irish]

I'm not in favor of waterboarding, but perhaps the waterboarding enthusiasts can construct a more careful, less glib argument for an act that is well outside the norm of behavior for a western democracy.

I'm always amazed by how tone deaf some arguments are. "We need to do this to stop terrorists" is a tried and true method of getting the American people to be all kinds of atrocious things, so I don't know why you'd say it in such a vulgar way that even most warmongers would be turned off.

But seriously, when I was a kid we *did* have a crazy neighbor who thought people (including my family) were conspiring against him. They put him away. He wasn't exactly a van-pervert-killer kind of guy, but he was scary enough in his own right.

Was he a Democrat from Georgia that posts on Hit and Run?

[Notorious G.K.C.]

I never thought of that before.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

Oh, yes, the teachers at one of my afterschool programs chauffeured us in a van, and the neighbor thought it was his enemies coming to get him. So in a curious inversion of roles, a kid in a van was scaring a creepy guy.

Fortunately, *his* family conspired against him and had him committed.

I should really be down there. The weather is pretty damn good.

And I can get greedy because we have the best football team in the NFL at this point. The Mariners could at least step up to the plate. Come on Romero. You can tie this up if you hit a good one.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

You guys are going through a bit of a rough spot. I read somewhere that Seattle's weather was so bad this year that records were broken.

He'll fit right in with the tweakers and cross-dressers walking the streets of Garden Grove.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Where is the worst part of the OC? I nominate the Fullerton Train Station. Or, I made a wrong turn in Santa Ana once, that was pretty sketchy.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Midway City. A few blocks of unincorporated trash located on Beach Boulevard between Westminster and Huntington Beach.

I went out with a girl who lived there several months ago and ended up accosted by an Orange County Sheriff's deputy just for being parked on the street where drug deals go down.

[Episiarch]

My sister will be moving to Australia with her husband soon after the kid is born, so there's no reason to move. Plus, I don't do California.

And that's an automatic double for Smoak. That's a start, even though they've got two outs already.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

It would be nice to have dual citizenship. Never been to AUS, but I think I would like it.

[Episiarch]

It's a built in excuse for me to go, now. I'll stop in Hawaii and Fiji on the way. But I'm doing Europe this summer. It's been a while since I was in Europe, and I need to go. Germany here I come!

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Switzerland too? That was my favorite in the summer.

If you're crossing the Pacific, there are hundreds of places worth visiting. Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Easter Island, etc etc.

I'm saving that trip for retirement, because it would take at least 6 months to do it all, and it is probably pretty expensive.

Yeah, well, his brother Corey is better and is tearing up Double A in the Dodger's organization (along with other OF Joc Pederson).

I can't wait for us to dump Crawford. Worst contract in baseball.

1) Go to Whole Foods.
2) Check to make sure the chicken hasn't been off the rotisserie for more than, oh, 1/2hr.
3) Buy it.
Pretty sure Costco's are just as good, but they're HUGE.

I get Whole Foods short ribs and brisket from the hot foods counter a lot, but the chicken always looks dried out. Is it really that good?

We have a really good Lebanese chicken place here, but it's closed on Sunday.

"I get Whole Foods short ribs and brisket from the hot foods counter a lot, but the chicken always looks dried out. Is it really that good?"

There's several recipes for the chicken; we like the "classic", REALLY good. But, yeah, you have to check for how fresh it is.
And I'm not joking about the Costco. We've had restaurant chefs tell us they stop there when they don't want to cook at home.
We had a good manager at WF, but he left. The new guy doesn't stay on top of his hot counter; the beef stew gets emptied of beef and stays that way. And he'll do too many chickens and let 'em sit.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Costco it is then. I'm out. Thanks.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I always get into trouble in the Costco hot foods aisle. I've already done all of my food shopping for the week.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Spot on. I got 2 that came out 10 minutes prior. I have no idea how they can charge $5 for a 3 lb. chicken (weight after cooking).

Urban legend confirmed: Hundreds of lost Atar cartridges found in New Mexico landfill

For decades, conspiracy theorists wondered: Was it true that hundreds, if not thousands, of "E.T." cartridges (remember those?) had been secretly buried in the desert near Alamogordo, N.M.?

On Saturday, gamers got their answer: Yes.

The YouTube video of the excavation effort shows a man in a hard hat from the team announcing, "We found something," to a few scattered "whoos!"

He let the drama unfold and then added, "We found an intact 'E.T.,' the video game." The crowd erupted in hoots, cheers and screams. Not that anyone needed to be told, but he added, "You didn't come out here for nothing." Who would suggest such a thing?

Just why and how the games ended up in the desert is a matter of dispute.

"E.T." sold 1.5 million copies. Still, it was a disappointment.

As Hero Complex wrote: "Despite its place on the list of Atari's all-time top-selling titles, this release is one of the most notorious games in 2600 history. Rushed into production after Steven Spielberg's movie became a box office sensation, the game was expected to sell many millions of copies, but sold just a fraction of that. The unsold cartridges were famously buried in a New Mexico landfill; the game's failure was the beginning of a long decline in Atari's fortunes."

I mean, unless the SK's actually expect their Prime Minister to be in charge all the fucking ferries in the country.
