Gay Marriage? No. Drugs? Yes.

So let me get this straight, New Jersey. Two guys marrying each other would be the end of civilization as we know it, but legalizing a long-banned psychoactive drug is a-okay?

Apparently, it's better politically to approve drug use than marriage between two consenting adults.

Yeah yeah, I know. Marijuana is relatively harmless, it's only approved for sick people, blah blah blah. If that's the argument, then why not make gay marriage available to sick people as well? After all, it's harmless and improves the quality of life of the individuals who enter into it (well, for happy couples anyway). I guarantee I can produce some scientific study that shows that gay men or women with illnesses have happier lives and less pain when they're married. I'll just call up the same guys who swear that smoking a burning plant is somehow a safe and beneficial delivery method for a painkiller. If they can demonstrate that in a scientific study, they can demonstrate anything.

The truth is, approving gay marriage, for sick or healthy people, would instantly make the lives of thousands of New Jerseyites better, happier. It would make a few old people and bigots flip a shit, the rest of us would kind of just shrug and go about our business.

Meanwhile, approving medical marijuana just means that it'll be easier for drug dealers to skirt the law-- "Oh no, officer... this is my personal stash, here's my prescription card." Medical marijuana is hardly better than other painkillers, and the delivery method is unlike any other prescribed drug, providing excellent potential for abuse. Admit it guys... it's just a cute way legalization activists have thought up to gather momentum towards their ultimate goal. And you know how I feel about that.

It makes no sense why Jersey would approve one, but not the other. I suspect the only reason is poll numbers-- or good old fashioned bigotry. Because it's certainly not logic.

Really, Women?

Women Think Fitting Into Old Jeans Is Better Than Sex Or A Promotion

Yeah, its just a poll conducted by Special K cereal, which means it probably doesn't stand up to statistical scrutiny. But what if a similar poll question was posed to men?

What Would You Rather Have?

A) Sex

B) The bombest grilled cheese sandwich ever (with a side of curly fries)

C) A Promotion

No, all of the above is not an option.

Ratner's Ripped Me Off!



And it used to be my mom's favorite restaurant in the city. Tsk. Tsk.

I opened a box of potato pancakes--eight potato pancakes-- only to find it had 7 inside.



Ratner's closed years ago, but their frozen products continue to grace America's grocery shelves. Come on menches, get your act together. You have a quality name to represent.

I''ll be expecting my missing pancake in the mail.

Yeah! I'm On Deadspin!

Didn't even realize it, but Deadspin published the stories I sent them about two of my crazy coaches two weeks ago. Check it out.

The Completely Clueless TSA

Read this blog post. Excellently written and explains, from a law enforcement perspective, why the TSA, responsible for keeping the skies free from terrorists, is doomed to fail us.

Frankly, the TSA is underpaid, understaffed and under-trained. It acts as a deterrent... there's always a chance that they'll catch a terrorist if one tries to sneak weapons on board. But a brute force attack, with multiple terrorists testing the system at the same time... you can't be confident the TSA will stop every one. Either the technology needs to step up or the people do.

Of course, capturing Bin Laden and bringing him to justice would help.

How bout it, Obama?
