Best Party Pooper
St. Pete House Rep. Darryl Rouson
Rep. Rouson had an admitted drug problem years ago, but that hasn’t stopped his zeal to stop others who can maintain. On the contrary, it’s turned him into a one-man anti-bong squad. This year the legislator sponsored a state law that makes it a crime to sell water pipes at most head shops.

A MESSAGE TO THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT

From Larry Flynt
You have a reason to be angry. You are being screwed. The bankers get bailed out, but the working class is left to fend for itself at a time when jobs are hard to find. But your anger is misdirected.
It may indeed be time for a revolution. Just make sure you go after the right people.
