LIVES OF THE SLUM DWELLERS

Because I got high.OBAMA BRO BUSTED FOR ONE JOINT! Oh noes, one of Barack Obama’s million half-brothers somewhere got arrested, for having a single joint. Where does this dude live, Oklahoma? No, the slums of Kenya! So the cops are just going to fuck with anyone named “Obama” for the next eight years. [Gawker/Telegraph]

    Was That One trying to spread the weed around?

  2. They’re just picking on him cause he’s black!

  3. Something tells me they don’t want anyone named “Obama” getting all uppity.

  4. Wait.
    Hold the phone.
    Black guys smoking pot?
    I thought only suburban teenagers and Libertarians smoked the weeds.
    No Colt45 in Afrika?

    Born and raised in the 313 and never smoke weed with a brother. Man I am now lost…

  5. Sounds like grounds for applying for political asylum in USA.

  6. Sara Benincasa says at 1:20 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Why didn’t Barack Obama prevent this from happening, to one of the 57 children of the father who abandoned him? He is responsible for babysitting all of his father’s crotchfruit. IMPEACH!

  7. Sara Benincasa: I’m seeing sitcom here. They all move into the White House, see, and he’s got to pull the country together while getting wound up in their schemes. Bathroom access is always an issue, there’s only 33 of them.

  8. SayItWithWookies says at 1:34 pm, January 31st, 2009

    It’s nice to know Kenya’s taking care of their weed problem. I’m sure after that’s under control they’ll start tackling their problem with political massacres, rampant poverty, starvation and disease. Is Rudy Fuckin’ Giuliani running Kenya now?

  9. qaf: It’ll be just like Goodtimes, but Cheney can play Bookman.

  10. Lascauxcaveman says at 1:36 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Huh. I didn’t even know it was illegal in Kenya. I always thought they were a little more enlightened about stuff like that over there.

  11. SixSider says at 1:38 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Wait a minute.
    Billy Carter
    Roger Clinton
    George Obama

    Why to I see a pattern…

  14. ServiceJervixJuice says at 2:05 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Sara Benincasa: Crotchfruit! Ha!

    Mr. Obama! Now’s the time! The U.S. needs a cash crop for the 21rst Century. Now’s the time for America to lead again as the world’s greatest exporter of high-grade MARIJUANA! Let’s clear up those debts! The tightey whiteys that ain’t hip with smokin’ it will just chill involuntarily from the second hand smoke. And then what have you got? World Peace…and grocery sales up.

  15. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:07 pm, January 31st, 2009

    CUT OFF HIS HANDS, also.

  16. Chuckie Jesus says at 2:12 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Seriously, thx Mr. Prez, for keeping up the example in the rest of the world, what with all the Prohibition. That shit ain’t expensive, noooo…

    Except then, the headline would only be OBAMA SMOKES BLUNTS

  17. honkeyman says at 2:24 pm, January 31st, 2009

  18. President Beeblebrox says at 2:54 pm, January 31st, 2009

    For some reason, that animated gif reminds me of the spider-head monster in The Thing.

  19. ManchuCandidate says at 3:18 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Wait till the MSM gets their hooks into the saga of Barry’s half brothers, Cheech Obama and Tony Montana Obama.

  20. bitchincamaro says at 3:32 pm, January 31st, 2009

    If you’re living in a corrugated shack in Nairobi, you’d better be on the weed.

    *cranking up RATM’s Fuck The Police*

  21. OffTheRecord says at 3:39 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Wait a minute. Obama’s dad died in 1982. The guy arrested says he is 24. I am not very good at the maths, but something isn’t right here.

  22. Blue Jefferson Clinton the Cat says at 3:50 pm, January 31st, 2009

    OffTheRecord: Obviously Obama Sr. frequented the sperm banks! Of course this means that there could be dozens of evil law breaking Obama spawn out there! Perhaps a whole terrorist cell of them conspiring to sell marijauna to all the school children of America! Someone at Fox News better get on this story ASAP!!

  23. shanemacgowan says at 3:58 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Blue Jefferson Clinton the Cat: So that explains the phony birth certificate. Its a Boys from Brazil thing.

  24. He’s setting the example. Create pacifism by getting people too stoned to care.

  25. ManchuCandidate says at 4:11 pm, January 31st, 2009

    OffTheRecord:
    24 in Muslin Years which is 44 in real time.

  26. June Cleaver 2.0 says at 4:20 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Obama is only responsible for Sasha and Malia’s conduct, and they will grow up to be Harvard grad doctors or lawyers, and/or married to high ranking military men, the latter the best bet. I can see that coming.

  27. Atheist Nun says at 4:30 pm, January 31st, 2009

    This is what happens when you pass the Dutchie on the right hand side, instead of the left.

  28. Bearbloke says at 4:40 pm, January 31st, 2009

    bitchincamaro: you mean NWA’s ‘Fuck tha Police’ - give credit where credit’s due…

  29. Bearbloke says at 4:46 pm, January 31st, 2009

    This all sounds like some uptight douchebag official in Kenya wanted to get into the weekend news cycle… but now that said douche has Saved The Children From The Demon Weed, maybe someone will challenge him/her to tackle some of the *real* problems in Kenya…

  30. Have the neocons called for Barak’s impeachment yet?

  31. rocktonsammy says at 4:46 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Weed in Kenya?

    I gots to open me up a Kwik-E-Mart over there pronto.

    troqua: Michael Steele has probably already written it into his sermon on the mount for tomorrow.

  38. OReillysVibrator says at 5:49 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Michael Phelps is related to Obama?

  39. President Beeblebrox: No, it’s like that thing with barbecue signs and logos with the pig or cow being really happy about getting eaten or actually eating itself. The marijuana is smoking weed. That’s just sick.

  40. An American in Toronto says at 6:39 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Canmon (the Inadequate): Sorry Canmon, George W. WAS the loser druggie brother. In an alternate universe, Jeb just finished leading us through 8 years of peace and prosperity.

  41. shanemacgowan says at 6:47 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Mustang: That image would fit right in at njweedman.com. Noone alive loves weed as much as this guy. He even has an interactive web based comic book where he advertises himself as “the real life SUPER-HERO of the POTHEADS!”

  43. thongthongthong says at 6:57 pm, January 31st, 2009

    OffTheRecord: This from Wiki, and apparently you are not the only one not good at the maths:
    Youngest half-brother of Barack Obama, born c.1982, son of Barack Obama Sr.[69] and Jael (now a resident of Atlanta, Georgia).[70][71] George was six months old when his father died in an automobile accident, after which he was raised in Nairobi by his mother and a French step-father.

  44. wickedlittledoll says at 7:01 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Soon, Obama will put reforming drug policy on his to-do list and set the rest of his ganga-loving brothers free…

  45. donner_froh says at 7:01 pm, January 31st, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: As long as Inspector Augustine Mutembei of the Narobi Police is on the job they will have all of that under control.

  46. thongthongthong says at 7:04 pm, January 31st, 2009

    I can’t shake the feeling that Corsi is behind this somehow. Maybe he gave George the joint, or told him to buy money with the $1000 he (Corsi) gave or tried to give to George to shame Barry….?

    Time reported this when Corsi was kicked out of Kenya:

    Corsi had also planned to deliver a $1,000 check to Obama’s half-brother George, who lives in a slum in Nairobi. One Republican ad has accused Obama of abandoning his brother, who was recently reported in Italian Vanity Fair to be living on a dollar a month. But George Obama has repeatedly denied that he said any such thing or that he feels abandoned by Obama. George Obama is currently in school studying to be an auto mechanic and says he has plenty to eat.

  48. smellyal8r says at 7:22 pm, January 31st, 2009

    qaf: I think that’s already been on the CW or the WB or one of them. I think it needs to be more of a one-hour, ala Brothers and Sisters (insert joke here).

  49. thongthongthong says at 7:24 pm, January 31st, 2009

    The real question here is, “Did he inhale?”

    George meet Rush, Rush-George.

  51. Texan Bulldoggette says at 7:28 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Speaking of marijuana, Michael Phelps in photo smoking bong. USA USA USA!! I could care less, but Wheaties might. He seems like a nice, regular kid (plus he loves Bulldogs)–too bad someone ratted him out.

  52. thongthongthong says at 7:34 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Texan Bulldoggette: Can anyone eat Wheaties unless they’ve been smoking dope?

  53. A Kenyan friend told me that the ruling party (her tribe) – a brutal and oppressive regime — hates Obama because now that he is president his inferior tribe will be all uppity so they will target his family to humiliate him. At the time I thought she was just being paranoid. I saw in a British paper that they arrested him in his home.

  54. loislane1939 says at 7:54 pm, January 31st, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: Even more amusing is reading their NARCOTIC DRUGS AND PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACT OF 1994. Marijuana is a schedule 1 narcotic. Sound familiar?

  55. Texan Bulldoggette:
    “Nice, regular kids” are usually the ones doing Robitussin shooters and huffin’ 3M Fabric Waterproofing.

  56. OffTheRecord says at 8:05 pm, January 31st, 2009

    thongthongthong: Maybe he was just stoned and forgot how old he was when they asked. It happens.

  57. bitchincamaro says at 8:16 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Bearbloke: I’m not so good with alphabits.

  58. I thought the recreational drug of preference in Kenya was khat (where the real question is, did he swallow?).

  59. wallythepug says at 9:10 pm, January 31st, 2009

    qaf: Win!

  60. gliberal says at 9:12 pm, January 31st, 2009

    The tragedy is there isn’t one Mallomar anywhere in Kenya.

  61. mylesfromnowhere says at 9:15 pm, January 31st, 2009

    I’d probably have some sort of comment, but I’ve gotta make a 7/11 run cause the munchies are really kickin my ass right now.

  62. I guess this is still better than getting busted at MSP for trying to smoke a pole. Unclear.

  63. shortsshortsshorts says at 9:46 pm, January 31st, 2009

    Who is the real George Obama? Can we really trust him to lead? Will he be ready when that 3a.m. phone call comes around?

  64. Bearbloke says at 10:44 pm, January 31st, 2009

    An American in Toronto: Jeb is same crotchfruit of the same rotten trading-with-the-Nazis tree that Dumbya dropped from… in MY alt-Universe, we’re currently waving a grateful goodbye to brave, honorable now-former President Wellstone…

    Black dudes being tossed in jail for weed, so the world hasn’t changed. BTW, anyone think the first black POTUS could have found at least one black guy that should not be in jail by this point. I mean just one. Seriously.

  67. Doktor Avalanche says at 1:59 am, February 1st, 2009

    On a serious note, Kenya (as well as most of Africa) has the most draconian anti-drug laws that have a nasty habit of punishing the user while they let the suppliers skate.

    In one case alone, it was revealed that 600 acres of the Mount Kenya forest reserve had been cleared for a bhang (cannabis) plantation. Administration police and forest rangers were used to guard the plantation.

    Kind of like home, huh?

  69. Canmon (the Inadequate):
    To quote someone from Fark.com, the rule is that Democratic presidents have an embarrassing brother, whereas Republican presidents are the embarrassing brother.

  70. And this is more important that Meth production and consumption in Wasilla?

  71. I look forward to the Global War on Kenya for Freedom.

    Texan Bulldoggette: Even though it makes me feel dumb and vulgar, i have to admit i’m pretty psyched about the Phelps thing… the idea of a milk-fed all-American hero like him- the world’s best swimmer and basically fittest dude ever– being a pot (BONG!) smoker will no doubt lodge itself firmly in the craws of deserving puritans across the country, and this prospect feels me with sophomoric joy.

    The only thing better would be the greatest boxer/hockey player/MMA fighter of all time being, like, a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence or something…

    Meanwhile, Reverend Ted Haggard tells the national media that he has always been ambivalent about liking dick.

  84. House Republican Leader John “Leather Face” Boehner noted, “This is what should be expected with inadequate corporate tax-cuts. And with nih … Negroes.”

    Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s daughter, Noelle, could not be reached for comment about the arrest.

    USA! USA! USA!

  87. Bearbloke says at 4:17 am, February 2nd, 2009

    Phelps is going to need some team-mates, so here’s an old training film - oh man! this brings back memories…
