Michelle Obama just slayed the DNC with her superhuman speech giving abilities.
But wait. Chuck doesn’t agree with you dooj…

What’s the matter with these people?
Just goes to prove once again that just because you’re in the entertainment business, doesn’t mean you have an edge on political savvy, or intelligence (present company excluded of course).
Sadly, outside of Eastwood, she was better than anyone the RNC had to offer.
Congratulations to the Sloth for choosing this year’s number one ranked college to attend …

Looking for a college campus where a majority of students support legalizing marijuana? Search no more.
The University of Colorado – Boulder takes this year’s top slot for colleges with “Reefer Madness” in the Princeton Review’s annual rankings.
CU Boulder was host to a clash between students and the administration over its annual 4/20 smoke-out, in which the university used “stinky fish fertilizer” to keep pot smokers off its grassy quad. It also closed the entire campus on April 20, 2012 to visitors in an effort to thwart the popular weed event.
In 2011, more than 10,000 people gathered on the university’s campus for a smoke and demonstration for legalizing marijuana, the AP reports.
Other top colleges on the Princeton Review list primarily included schools from Oregon, New York and California.
^UofM does host the “Hash Bash” every year which is pretty fun. Not a lot of “public protest” smoking that’s what the whole thing is about.
^^HA! They closed the campus on 4/20. Amazing. When I was a freshman I organized a 420 “love-in” on the SU quad. It was pretty fantastic, actually… even then I had no problem smoking pot in public.
OK, so I know I’m slow on the uptake here, but driverless cars?! Godfuckingdammit. Not only do I enjoy driving too much for that shit, but come on, aren’t people stupid enough as it is? Do you really want a bunch of roadways full of idiots sitting there playing Angry Birds and talking about reality television as their cars drive them to the store? I don’t know, maybe it’s because I live in a part of town with a lot of extremely over-privileged housewives who already drive around with a phone glued to the side of their head, but Jesus tapdancing Christ people, driverless cars? Arrrrghghghgh.
Or, to put it more succinctly:
Yeah, I’m not sure about it. I mean… people are pretty much playing angry birds and talking about reality tv as they drive cars they are supposed to be COMPLETELY in control of… pretty much every day. And they are crashing in to each other. Every day. So, it definitely takes a whole lot of the human error out of driving… I think I trust a computer to safely operate a vehicle more than a human in this day and age.
But, at the same time, I too love to drive and I sure don’t want my Jeep trying to tackle a trail on its own! 
Oh yeah, I almost forgot you like to go Jeepin’. Yeah, talk about a difficult programming task, lol.
If you’re interested, this article puts the situation in perspective much more articulately than my spluttering tirade did: cnbc.com/id/46116969
^It’s a fair article that raises some good questions. I don’t think we’re anywhere near the point where this could be viable yet… they have passed a law allowing them, but really only for testing purposes. There hasn’t been anything submitted for release to the public yet.
But, I also think any form of progress poses a lot of questions and worries. Marijuana legalization was defeated here in cali by the same kind of questions. hat would a cop do if he pulled over a high driver and there is no breathalyzer for ganja?? What will employers do when their employees show up HIGH??? 
In reality, this stuff is easily regulated. A cop will be able to pull over a self-driving car. I guarantee it. Just in the same way that making alcohol legal didn’t result in all the scary scenarios they said it would. Self driving cars sound scary, but I’m sure in reality they aren’t nearly as crazy as we think they would be. Who knows… maybe they’ll even let us use them when we’re drunk!
You see, Edward… the problem with the marijuana is that it is a gateway drug.

If you saw my comment above, this is what I was complaining about. We’d get a bunch of cars driving exactly the speed limit and likely blocking up all the lanes in the process. People who actually prefer to drive a little faster and enjoy the fun of zipping in and out of traffic would be thoroughly frustrated. I hate it. Slow drivers cause more accidents than fast ones.
^And, man, Romney’s dumber than I realized. Glad he’s spewing what he heard in high school and pretending it’s fact…will he be telling us to “Just Say No” next speech? Even worse, he’s not even talking about MEDICAL marijuana…just use in general. I guarantee that anyone against it medically has never had a condition where doctors prescribe expensive pill after pill and not only do the pills barely work but they have loads of side effects…and then those people discover weed and it makes their issues completely go away. The healing properties of the stuff is truly amazing and curmudgeons just close their eyes to it. Quite pathetic. I wonder if we’ll see a big transition in the Republicans over the next 20-30 years or so…this ignorant stuff is just not going to fly for the generations then.
It’s true. I’m hooked on gates and gateways. I have several around the house and I can’t seem to shake the habit, nor do I see any reason to. How can I possibly pass from the front of the house to the back without using, know what I mean? The temptation is just too great to resist especially when climbing over the fence is just so difficult for me now.
Mitt is so intuitive.
When my friends and I all ended up taking some sort of heavier drugs at a show and were sitting in the parking lot after, anticipating getting kicked out and having to hit the mean streets in our vehicle, we inevitably ended up in a discussion about how great it would be if there was technology enabling us to program the car to where we wanted to go and have it drive us there. The conversation always began the same and then took the same path and all of a sudden, we would be like “wait, here we are having this same exact discussion again! But really, wouldn’t that be awesome?” And then go on to discuss the same logistics we did the time before that, and the time before that.
That’s probably the only time I would want my car doing the work. Or, when I was in school and needed to study it would have been handy to have that extra time.
I’m against the use of teeth and nails to fight in the political arena. Use your words, Mitt. Violence is for animals in the wild, not wealthy public figures in suits & ties.
New species of monkey discovered. Its face is quite human looking in a weird way.
