The problem with this whole deal as I see it is mixing the two issues of medical pot and legalized pot. The first may be a step toward the second, but the country is just not ready for legalization. Too many jerks who regularly get potted on booze and go all holy about grass.
I've seen local teens sharing medical marijuana when their only illness was the stress of growing up. The drug mess wasn't created in a day and it won't be solved overnight. Americans need to learn discipline and patience. But they probably won't, and we'll just keep snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Well a boycott is probably a wiser choice than tar and feathering, which is actually called for in this instance.

Great work Jerry, please keep it coming.

What we have here is a case of Stephen Colbert's
"truthiness." Wow, we have the Fox "News" team and Rush Limbaugh all rolled into one fish wrap right here in SB. What fortune.

Sounds very optimistic. So why is the growth potential still listed as high?

If the Fox News honchos manage to damage Obama enough so that McCain limps through and becomes POTUS, we're all doomed. What it all comes down to is taxes. We all hate them, but want the services that we refuse to pay for so we can all buy theater-sized TVs and Porsches.

Thanks to your incredible coverage and the free availability of your website, you've now become Santa Barbara's paper of record. Your major competitor, run by She Who Must Not Be Named, has a subscribers-only website; I don't know how well they did, because I won't subscribe.

The Independent is doing a fantastic job of keeping us informed about the Gap fire. Thank God someone is, TV and radio have largely been a bust, and I won't even look at the paper of She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Lady Voldecaw.

Given the proximity of the fire to populated areas, I'm a bit surprised that the air attack is not yet underway at 6:40 AM. It's been light for about an hour. Aren't they being a bit casual about this? I can understand why it's too risky to fly low at night, but why couldn't they have everything ready to start operations at the crack of dawn?

The N-P fiasco is not over, and it's not time to move on. Right now the publishers continue to operate an unfair and unbalanced operation, past and present employees are denied their legal right to collective bargaining, and Santa Barbara still lacks an adequate daily paper.
