As if the law can't be wrong and unjust. And anyone speaking out about it can't be on the side of the law. Except bad laws breed contempt.

I went to tip you on this and thought, "Naaah, he has more fun with the failures." Good on ya for itemizing it.
With over a thousand dispensaries in L.A., the Times kinda had to take a stab at even-handedness, tho. There's remarkably little addition crime associated with this huge number of pot storefronts--some, yes, but I think ordinary people are rapidly coming to the sensible conclusion that this is something that could be fully legalized, taxed, and regulated with beneficial results.

L.A. Times columnist Steve Lopez gets a marijuana recommend and buys $20 of Chunky Munky, but it's not clear yet whether he's gonna smoke up and write about it.
It's like watching your dad try to dance.

@8 - That's Wikipedia calling Dan a journalist, not Dan calling Dan a journalist.
@1, and @2 - Speaking of grammar, I think that both "goat-fucking" "sorry-assed" should have hyphens.

Journalist Dan Savage avoided a possible six-year prison sentence by pleading guilty to voter fraud charges November 7. The charges stem from an incident last year, when Savage, a Washington State resident, infiltrated the presidential campaign of GOP candidate Gary Bauer and then cast a ballot during the Iowa caucus. Savage, a columnist for Out magazine, licked doorknobs, doormats and toilet seats in Bauer's Des Moines headquarters ...

@10 - Again, that's Encyclopedia.com calling Dan a journalist, not Dan calling Dan a journalist. Seriously, if you're trying to rebut @3 you need to find a quote attributable to Dan himself.
The decline of standards in trolling these days is lamentable.

@12: I know! In the old days, you could count on a troll really getting under your skin with someone "nearly false but sounds true enough and has a germ of truth in it" statement that could make your blood boil, even on someone else's behalf.
Now, these kids with their wikipedias and encyclopedia.com don't even bother to come out with something new.

Mediabistro.com interviewed Dan-
Q-You've been with alt-weeklies all the way through, even as they've gone through lots of upheaval and have gotten more corporate. Why have you stuck with The Stranger and your other syndicated outlets for so long?
A- "At The Stranger, we've always viewed the paper as a sort of performance, and we do the kind of advocacy and participatory journalism that we need in our culture. I mean, we don't just sit back and suck our dicks."

Hey, if Dan says he's not a Journalist the troll certainly isn't going to argue-
there is certainly no proof of it anywhere...

And you wonder why journalist don't get quips--er, quotes--from pot activists more often? That guy and his sarcasm isn't doing us any favors.

@8: Wiki is a common noun. You probably meant Wikipedia, which is just one of many, many, wikis. It's easily the most well-known of them, but it was not the first wiki.

@16: That's Dan saying that journalism is done at the newspaper for which he serves as editorial director (*), not Dan calling Dan a journalist.
* editorial director: As of a couple years ago, anyway. Your half-assed citation doesn't indicate when the quote was published.
