IS THIS WHY PEOPLE VOTED FOR HIM?

Hippies Want One Thing And One Thing Only From This Obama

On Change.gov’s “Open for Questions” section, this one from “S. Man,” which asks no one, since Obama will never read any of these Obama himself if he will legalize marijuana, is the top concern among Change.gov patrons. We don’t speak for Obama, but to answer your question “S. Man” et al.: No. He will not legalize marijuana. Ever. Now let’s move on. [Change.gov via The Hill]

    Jim, stop harshing my mellow.

  2. Democratica says at 4:51 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Sweet Jeebus! I know what I want - get that ridiculously creepy Campbell Brown off my screen! WTF?!

  3. JimNewell says at 4:52 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Democratica: If you pay my salary this month, then we can discuss.

  4. Democratica says at 4:54 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Well now I just feel bad… but she’s so *there*! and she doesn’t move!

  5. JimNewell says at 4:55 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Democratica: Well, she is judging you. You haven’t done anything wrong, Democratica, have you?

  6. InKnockYouUs says at 4:55 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Yeah, man, you know, . . . um. . . he’s never gonna legalize pot, because, uh, man, you know . . .

  7. Capitol Hillbilly says at 4:57 pm, December 15th, 2008

    ha you gotta love the ‘green jobs’ angle. that hippie wouldn’t know a job if it bit him on the ass.

  8. gurukalehuru says at 4:59 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Marijuana is a good thing.
    FMAZ!

  9. InKnockYouUs says at 5:00 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Campbell Brown is going to pay Jim Newell’s salary this month. Oh wow. Whatcha going to do for her, Jim?

  10. iwillsavethispatient says at 5:02 pm, December 15th, 2008

    What do we want?
    Legal Marijuana!
    When do we want it?
    You know… like… whenever… man.

    True story: The President of the Legalize Marijuana society at my University slept in and forgot to actually join said society.

  11. seriesoftubescleaner says at 5:02 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Millions of new jobs? All of which will be lost a week later for coming in 3 hours late to work for 5 days straight.

  12. NoWireHangers says at 5:03 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Man, if they legalize Mary Jane, I’m quittin’ my day job to run a weed farm.

  13. InKnockYouUs: We can only assume that whatever he’s doing, it is unspeakably vile and gross. She is married to a Republican, remember.

  14. SayItWithWookies says at 5:07 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Let’s get stoned over here so we don’t have to stone them over there.

  15. MoonshineJoe says at 5:07 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Jim Newell: As in, ceiling Brown is watching you masturbate. Watching with great interest…

  16. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 5:08 pm, December 15th, 2008

    she doesn’t move!

    I’m sure she’s winking at me right through my screen.

  17. Marijuana is the burning issue of our day, obvs. In a series of small fires.

  18. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:10 pm, December 15th, 2008

    InKnockYouUs: Jim doesn’t have to do anything. It is WE who must now tune into Campbell Brown. NO BIAS. NO FUCKING BULLSHIT.

    THE PLACE FOR POLITICS

  19. RabidHamster says at 5:11 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Jim Newell: Can I pay you in cat food and cardboard? If so, I’m ready for Campbell to come off my screen and on my lap.

  20. space stout says at 5:13 pm, December 15th, 2008

    S.Man indeed- is that you shortsshortsshorts?

  21. pondscum says at 5:13 pm, December 15th, 2008

    I kind of like it when the site gets taken over by some huge ad. At least Campbell isn’t all bright pink like that last one. She’s actually rather hawt!

  22. tunamelt says at 5:17 pm, December 15th, 2008

    This is relevant to my interests.

  23. 2druk2phluq says at 5:22 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Laws are so complicated. I half expect for my weed to become legal, but then they’re gonna make my grow lights illegal. It could be, like, over the carbon footprint level. “I’m sorry, sir, but we’re gonna have to run you in. Are you aware how much you’re contributing to climate change with all these halogen lamps?”

    Shoulda gone with lower yield fluorescents.

  24. Iggy Plop says at 5:25 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Please legalize it soon. I’m only a few years away from having to ask my students to score for me. And neither I nor they want that to happen.

  25. …time for hope and change.

  26. When canz unicorns be legalized?

  27. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:35 pm, December 15th, 2008

    space stout: It couldn’t have been me. The question asker is from Denton, Texas. If I lived in Denton I would not be alive to post this comment, because I would have already shot myself for living in Denton, Texas.

  28. Dawn Keipuntsh says at 5:51 pm, December 15th, 2008

    You just know the “S” stands for “Sinsemilla.”

  29. FreshCliches says at 5:56 pm, December 15th, 2008

    I was wondering what happened to the Paultards.

  30. Oh come on, why did you have to post this, it gets me stressed out. I’m just about out, my dealer owes me 1/2 an ounce from all the duty free cigarettes I gave him and he’s not picking up his phone. It might be a long week after tonight. I might resort to Ken’s proposal of scraping the carpet for stems and seeds. But I’m not gonna like it.

  31. sati demise says at 6:16 pm, December 15th, 2008

    wait until Hopey finds out that industrial hemp makes the best jet fuel.

    One step for man, a giant leap for mankind.

  32. problemwithcaring says at 6:17 pm, December 15th, 2008

    I’m bout to go get high right now. Somebody call me when Dookie Brown’s face isn’t everywhere…

  33. Lascauxcaveman says at 6:34 pm, December 15th, 2008

    pondscum: You got that right. That pink thing hurt my eyes. I felt like I was walking into a high-priced Mexican bordello while on acid.

    (Not that I would know what that was like, mind you.)

    Campbell can stick around as long as she wants to, far as I’m concerned. Especially if her glowing beauty is also paying for Ken’s kids’ school supplies and Jim’s Dr. Pepper® and Cheetos®.

  34. OK, here’s the deal. Weed will never be totally legal. There, I said it. The pharmaceutical, brewing and distillery industries can’t let it happen. I they legalize weed, then it becomes basically free because anyone could grow it in their backyard. The price would drop down to nothing and the before mentioned industries can’t afford to let a free mind altering substance compete with their products. So listen up hippie types. The best you can hope for is that the state you live in will decriminalize weed and you won’t have to worry about the local cops busting you. Be satisfied with that.

  35. Jim Newell: Jim, everyone here would love to have Campbell Brown pay for their salary for a month, or at least bring a dime bag to their next party.

    If she paid me for a month, I wouldn’t stop bragging about it.

  36. PerhapsSo says at 6:43 pm, December 15th, 2008

    This pisses me off. Who gives a flying fuck? We have a faltering economy, people without jobs, homes, health care, and child care, and we’re slowly killing the planet. And they think that the best public policy topic is weed? (And I don’t buy their attempt to tie the economy into it. It won’t save us all from hobo-dom.) And several more questions in the top 20 are about the exact same topic? I want to beat them senseless with their own bong.

  37. cranchop says at 6:45 pm, December 15th, 2008

    If you scroll down just right, the word “profile” gives Campbell Brown a righteous mustache. And also weed is awesome.

  38. daisy chain says at 6:50 pm, December 15th, 2008

    No fucking way man. I don’t want it legalized. That would suck all the fun right out of it. It’s the only illegal thing I get to do any more and I won’t have that taken away from me.

  39. I am so sick of these hippies. I am talking to my old hippie friend who is acting all freaked out about the O man and she’s saying all whiney “Well, I don’t know I just don’t know if he’s gonna do anything good because well I just don’t know.” Now I know from whence she comes. So it’s like if Obama doesn’t immediately legalize marijuana, make cars illegal, make cutting down trees illegal, and send her a personal letter saying, “God, I love you so much that I am going to do everything you want because you are the best hippie ever,she is going to go down to election headquarters and say,”I want my money back.” Jaysus!!!!

  40. It doesn’t matter. All of the really good weed disappeared at the start of Nancy Reagan’s anti-drug crusade. Most of you missed out on the good sticky green buds, like Primo Hawai’ian. All that’s left now is seedy skunk weed.

  41. InKnockYouUs says at 8:30 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Servo: No, no. What I hear is that the weed now is super fantabulous good, much better than the weed I used to smoke growing up back in the Renaissance. So that is why the baby boomers are not supposed to let their kids smoke weed (as if they could stop them), even though they personally smoked half the weed output of the state of Michoacan back in the day.

  42. Chief Grinning Eagle says at 9:17 pm, December 15th, 2008

    These days those in the know vaporize, they don’t smoke. Back “in the day” the dealers thought Michoacan province in Mexico was a fictional place called Mish-muh-con. Obama said he’d stop raiding the clubs. That’s a start.

  43. tonehedge says at 9:26 pm, December 15th, 2008

    Puff, puff, pass. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

  44. slinkimalinki says at 9:50 pm, December 15th, 2008

    ahhh, create new jobs and a billion dollar industry. because there is currently no pot industry in the u.s.
    I CAN SEE YOUR LOGICAL FAILURE, S. MAN.

  45. The responses to some questions have gone up on Change.gov. The answer to this question? “President-elect Obama is not in favor of the legalization of marijuana.” Translation: “No, so shut it and go play hacky sack, hippies!”

  46. Legalization of the reefer? Won’t happen.

    Barry knows that Southern Senators Mitch McCornhole, Sexboy Shambles, Lindsey Lindsey, etc, would block that because, if the magic hemp is made legal, then next will be the meth and they’re goes their constituency, all blowed up into tiny, non-voting flesh bits in trailer park labs.

    That’s my analysis. Thank you.

  47. Capitol Hillbilly says at 9:44 am, December 16th, 2008

    PerhapsSo: dude, take a bong hit.
