How much to promote pot?
Certain think-tankers in the UK will weep when they hear that the Marihuana Policy Project is paying $60k a year to be a a state organiser in one of the 50 states. I have to say the task at hand isn’t necessarily easy.
Build a coalition of “grasstops” supporters local organizations, statewide organizations, and in-state opinion leaders who endorse the desired change in state law;
Identify grassroots supporters of marijuana policy reform and keep a database of such supporters;
Organize both grasstops and grassroots supporters to write op-eds and letters-to-the-editor, organize and attend demonstrations, distribute leaflets, write to lawmakers, and meet with lawmakers;
Generate favorable news coverage; and
Pass local bills and/or initiatives to demonstrate to state legislators that the public supports marijuana policy reform.
I have to say that if I were single I would be tempted to give it a go. Its certainly a job for someone who likes a challenge, especially in certain states, of course somewhere like New Hampshire or Alaska it would probably be a dodle. Great for the CV no doubt.

He has written an excellent piece for Samizdata comparing Cameron’s Conservative with the one of the Burke-era. His conclusion? That the Conservatives are in fact not a political party at all. As they say, worth reading the whole thing. One of the best bits of writing on Samizdata for a very long time. (With apologies to Jon P.)

Anyone who knows the magazine or their series of movies know that the National Lampoon lot know American funny. Well they have started their own DVD club finding the best comedy DVDs there are well known and not so. Its an ownership DVD club and they will be offering titles for about a $fiver a disc. So why not head over a check it out. My personal recomendation is Kentucky Fried Movie. And they mention a movie called Bongwater which sounds rather amusing.
Odone loses it…
If we continue in this vein, the next step will be to single out people by telling them what they must wear. A yellow crescent moon, perhaps?
What the hell is a Catholic doing defending Muslims in the first place? Or is being PC more important than her faith. I expected sycophany from the Church of Caliphate England but from a leading Catholic?
My further comments on the piece should appear below it soon.

There is a new company that is taking aim at both the fraudsters and credit card companies (who are sometimes pretty slow at going after fraud) called preCharge. The service is gaining great favour with people who business online. PreCharge is a screening service for online business that allows pre-screening worldwide. It allows for fraud scoring and approval within seconds not minutes. They offer services against so-called charge-backs as well. Well worth a look if you have an online business.

New Culture Forum watched the program and reports about it in all its vileness. The guy who directed it said it raised some serious issues…the one that springs to my mind is what cretins those involved truly are in the end.
