I can’t express how impressed I am that you didn’t take the easy joke with Palin’s retard-spawn. Great Craigslist entry. Great rant. So glad the forums have re-opened.
I was actually pretty disappointed in Salvia. It was an odd feeling. I felt like I could think perfectly clear, but the right words wouldn’t come out of my mouth, which made me laugh. Things looked like they were tilted, but nothing too crazy, and it was over in just a few minutes. Somewhat similar to spinning around in an office chair and then trying to focus on something, everything will lean, and it will last just about as long. Not worth any money, but I’d try it again for free. Those who are quickly trying to pass legislation to make it illegal are worried about nothing. It’s not like people are going to take it, run out to the car, and try to drive recklessly for 2 minutes before the whole thing is over. It wasn’t the “mind-altering experience” it was touted as. I do want to try ’shrooms, but that’s a whole different episode.
Never tried shrooms before? Shit well I’m on a constant search, if I come across some I will let you know (or if you can find some let me know!). Shrooms transcend salvia, much better trip and lasts much longer, my personal favorite.
Wow. That’s shocking. I also saw a halloween costume that was just a bikini with a Ms. Alaska sash and glasses. Some guy must have thought, “Sarah Palin would make a good costume, but Sarah Palin in underwear would be better, now let’s see if I can get women to not only fall victim to another excuse to make them wear nothing on Halloween, but actually pay me an inflated price for a regular bathing suit because it comes with a sash.” Think about that when you see someone in the getup.
That costume would only be worth it if he came with a “rape kit” that consisted of a box with a note with the words “It’s your fault” on it, signed by Sarah Palin…it would also work as an out for the guy the morning after I guess….
Alright everyone. I think I am pretty safe saying that most of us on here are NOT McCain-Palin supporters. So someone at least make me feel like I am not the insane one. I was arguing with my dad today about Palin’s qualifications and noted that she is kind of a dumbass, and I backed that up by saying that she refuses to release her academic records, and she only has a B.A in Journalism. My dad’s retort??…HE COMPARED HER TO BILL CLINTON!! “Bill Clinton never released his academic records.” Okay, but wasn’t he a Rhodes scholar? Palin was not.
And here is another thing that made me laugh. When talking about Obama my dad said “He is a bitter, hateful man that hates white people…and he is a Marxist.” Now, there is a lot there, I know but let me just say what I said. “What part of his policies are Marxist?” He doesn’t support the dissolution of the family and marriage, or the rising of the proletariat in any kind of revolution, and he never has lashed out at the “bourgeousie.” Yes, he has socialist leanings, but isn’t it time to get over the negative connotations which that word has come to bring with it in America? Socialism isn’t Stalinism damn it. My dad also refused to admit that the United States is lower than #1 in the world as far as standard of living goes. If anyone could direct me in the direction where hard evidence proves him wrong, please let me know.
I just figured it would be nice to take a jaunt into the mind of a crazy right-wing conservative for a while. To sum up……Palin is as smart as Bill Clinton and only victim to “gotcha” interviews. Obama is bitter towards the world and hates white people, and the U.S is and will always be #1 in EVERYTHING. I wish I was making this stuff up….
That is so wrong that I’m speechless. All I can muster is this; Obama is bitter? As an Obama supporter I assumed the stigma would be ‘too cool’ or ‘cocky’ or ’slick’. Bitter? hmmm.
Btw, where does the US rank in terms of students science and math scores? Or scarier yet, how about infant mortality rate? And I’m going with my gut on standard of living, but doesn’t everyone in the US seem pathetic and miserable?
I love when you come here and lay out stories like the above. Obviously, we’re in a national social climate where the greater half plan on supporting Obama. Although, mainly due to geography, it’s easy to feel like the only Dem/Liberal/Whatever (I like the term “Progressive” myself) around. Isn’t it weird that in a day you can hear like 5 people “Obama-bash” and get feeling like “What are people thinking? Am I alone? Am I crazy?” but then you look at national polls and you’re like “Where are all these people?” but think about how quickly this tide has been, and is turning. Looking a meager 6 months into the future, being represented by Obama seems like a fantasy. Don’t get this confused with feelings of “He’s going to save the world and change everything!” It’s not like that. Although, knowing that Obama is going to be the diplomat representing me and my country to other international leaders is simply enough to get me excited. Obama is such a great communicator and I think he has this great ability to, not bring people together, but bring people to his viewpoint. There’s a distinction there. He says, “Look I’m supporting Abortion, but lets reduce the numbers” Which gets people to look past the issue, and work for something possitive that works around it. That’s such a difference between the “Us and Them” of the Republicans. Palin isn’t flat out calling liberal cities “Anti-American” but she IS calling ultra-conservative cities “pro-american” so what’s the alternative? I think we’re getting to a place where, in general, people can understand that Left-wing liberal is not the same as “Anti-american” and that label is starting to peel off.
To speak on the matter of “anti-americanism” and criticizing your own nation:
I think that the general public in America are somewhat apt to think that criticizing the nation and it’s policies is somehow related to treason. This is untrue. In contrast to the Republicans slogan “Country First,” and all of the blown up psuedo-patriotism that comes with that thinking, I believe that criticism towards one’s own country, in a representative democracy such as our own, is what we are called upon to do as caring citizens. Sarah Palin angers me when she talks about how Obama and the left want to tear apart our country by criticizing it. Well, this country was set up to be a place where intelligent, diplomatic debate was essential to the country’s well-being. The absence of debate and criticism is what the framers of the constitution were afraid of. What scares me about the McCain-Palin phrasing and usage of the term “Country First” is that IT is the Anti-American message. Whats more Anti-American than stepping on and ignoring the very foundation of the system by bashing intelligent criticism?
The framers of our constitution weren’t afraid to criticize their country. If they had been putting their “country first” then they would have never succeeded from the British Empire. Isn’t it funny how things come back around full circle in ironic ways? The right is trying to portray themselves as preserving a sacred idea that the left is trying to harm. The right is always trying to claim that it upholds the basic principles of our country. But before the Republicans and the right start attacking the left-wing liberals for criticizing the country and coming up with progressive ways to curb the short-comings in the US, maybe they should be reminded of what this system that we are governed by needs. In order for representative democracy to work effectively, there must be an informed electorate, and one that is willing to question the leaders. Why was the system of American democracy so revolutionary and scary to the ruling classes of Europe? Because for the first time in history the masses were voluntarily being given a voice in government, a chance to peacefully speak out against any wrongdoings they saw in their government through their individual vote. Putting “country first” sounds good, but it carries with it a lot of dangerous connotations. As with anything in an open society, freedom of thought and criticism drives the engine of progress, and the right wing calls that drive towards progress “anti-american?” Maybe before voters head to the polls on Nov. 4th they should be given a quick review of the constitutional obligation of each voter in this country to be critical of their own nation. If no one will speak out against inequality and insufficient leadership, then the constitution becomes an impodent document. The irony of the Republicans’ message, and how much people buy into it, never ceases to amaze me.
The next trip or the next “trip?” I wouldn’t worry about Salvia, it’s not worth the money. It just fills a niche’ for people who WANT harder drugs but only want to do them legally. To which I say: A drugs “legality” has NOTHING to do with it’s health risks or it’s potential benefits.
As for freaking out, it’s all in your head man. I know several people who can’t deal with being high. If you look at the personalities of those who smoke a lot of weed, you’ll see general similarities, as with those who can’t handle it. It’s not a good or bad thing, just different. This is the only example I can think of, but if you watch Entourage, Turtle and Vince get high a lot and you can see similarities in their care-free attitude. There was one episode where Drama got really high and he started to freak out. Also, in the Shrooms episode, Ari couldn’t deal very well. Notice how Ari and Drama have similar attitudes? High strung, like to be on top of things, in control, etc. I think the issue goes even deeper into: How do you view this society? Is it the end all, be all? Or is it just some system people created that gives us some structure? Because do you think you could even approch Ari and say, “Hey man, none of this matters. Life is about much more than work. You’re too plugged into the system” Hell no, that would be like telling him he’s gotten where he is for nothing. He wouldn’t be that open minded. But of course Vince and Turtle just go with the flow, they don’t worry about every little thing like Ari does.
I think drugs like Weed, Salvia, Shrooms, etc. require a certain mindset to enjoy. I think it’s attainable to everyone if they allow themselves to relax. Give it another go man, I could use a Columbia smoking buddy.
I don’t necessarily discriminate based on a woman’s weight, but at a certain level, you gotta be at least taking care of yourself. There’s no straighter path to my heart then a gentle stroke of the ego. So telling me my show and my views are awesome gives you at least a 50 lbs. allowance. We’re all just squirrels tryin to get some nuts.

Where else can a man bare witness to his son laying pipe and experimenting with drugs in a single sitting? Yeah, I’d say everyone wins today.

I might try Salvia, but I’d probably be a big pussy and have a panic attack or something…..fuck
Looks like you guys had fun though. When’s the next trip?

1. Love your show.
2. Do you only date skinny bitches? because according to this: http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2008/10/31/Overweight_women_have_more_sex/UPI-68841225431194/
women who aren’t skinny bitches have more sex (and probably are better since they have had more practice.) I am not a skinny bitch, however I would not by any means refer to myself as a BBW.
3. Libertarians = awesome.
