Michael Phelps and the pot controversy

Update: 8 charged in pot sting based on picture of Michael Phelps smoking pot. You can read about it here. It is good to see our tax dollars going to a good cause. Get those pot smoking fiends off the streets and in to jail where they belong right? This Sheriff is a total joke, he must be up for re-election this year. I truly hope the asshole who took that picture is one of the 8 who was charged, it would only be fair.

Update: Michael Phelps could face criminal charges in South Carolina as a result of the bong picture.
Sgt. Kim Myers, a spokesperson for the Richland County, S.C., Sheriff’s Dept., on Tuesday confirmed that the incident is under investigation by the department’s narcotics division.
The Feb. 2 edition of the British tabloid News of the World had a picture of Phelps sucking on a glass pipe of a type generally used to inhale cannabis, an illegal drug, at a party that reportedly took place Nov. 6 in Columbia, S.C. You can read the rest of the story here. Is this a joke or what?

Well it seems that eight time gold medallist Michael Phelps has gone and done it again. This time he was not driving drunk while under age. This was a little slip up where he stumbled and his mouth hit a bong and he was out of breath so he inhaled. Now I really don’t see what the big deal is. He is in fact only 23 and most 23 year olds are doing far worse that stumbling and getting their mouths stuck on a bong and inhaling. Let’s face it the President of the United States smoked weed. I bet that if you did an impromptu survey you would be shocked at how many people have actually smoked weed. Personally I think it should be legal, but then that is just my opinion.

We have far more problems with alcohol and other drugs than we do with weed. Tell me this, when was the last time you saw someone get in a fight while they were high on weed? Bet you can’t say the same thing about crystal meth or alcohol. And you defiantly can’t say that about a crack addict. There are all of these people who have put poor Michael on a pedestal and made him this role model which I find funny. To tell you the truth parents should be the role models for their own kids and not depend on someone else.

I understand that some kids would want to win 8 gold medals but the fact is you have to have the right genetics and the desire to work really hard to do it, which I might add Michael Phelps has done. Now all of the advertisers who have jumped on the bandwagon to get him to push their products are up in arms because he took a toke. Big deal you are all just banking on his fame for doing something that he worked hard to do just to push your product.

Now if your product does not hurt the environment or cause health problems for those who use it or depend on the labor from sweatshop workers and is made right here in the good old USA you can have a say in what he does in his private life. If none of this is true for your company then you can all just shut up. And make the proper corrections to your products and be role models yourself. People make mistakes and they learn from them. Deal with it I have.

President Bush greated with a shoe in Iraq

by cedric on Dec.15, 2008, under Iraqi Shoes, ducking, funny shit, president bush

Embedded video from CNN Video

A man identified as an Iraqi journalist threw shoes at — but missed — President Bush during a news conference Sunday evening in Baghdad, where Bush was making a farewell visit. Bush ducked, and the shoes, flung one at a time, sailed past his head during the news conference with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in his palace in the heavily fortified Green Zone. The shoe-thrower — identified as Muntadhar al-Zaidi, an Iraqi journalist with Egypt-based al-Baghdadia television network — could be heard yelling in Arabic: “This is a farewell … you dog!” You can read the complete story here

I would say that judging by the quick reflexes exhibited by the President he has had a shoe thrown at him before most likely by his mother. Ducking a shoe is like riding a bicycle you don’t forget how to do it. What is sad is that getting the shoe is like getting the finger. So I guess George W was told to get fu–ed by the Iraqi media. All this while he was on his farwell tour of Iraq.

As funny as the idea of a shoe being thrown at George “W.” Bush is this man just may go to jail for the rest of his life if not worse.
