1. You can have it all, I prefer Esspersso.

Java and coca are from the same family, different price range.

2. Some people say....................

he had a VERY big problem with the Peruvian Marching Powder. That is until he found Jebus, now all is forgiven.

3. This post shows insensitivity to people with addiciton issues

[NashVegas]

6. Sorry

But if there is any veracity to these reports, sensitivity to addicts is not helpful right now. How sensitive do you think the BFEE is being on Vietnam Vets at this minute?

leave NO rock un-turned

7. Look At The Numbers

Addicts don't vote. Non-addicts do.

5. maybe...

Rush Limballs can add some insight to this--addicts on addicts.

8. Yes.

Get your ducks in a row. Get the research updated and organized. Start out sending letters to papers, but be careful to start out with very simple, straightforward questions. This will not be a one-shot deal. You will want the press to pick it up and run with it. You will have to persevere, and work this for weeks. Gradually build up to more provocative questions, but you MUST lay a foundation of more innocent questions first, like ""Is it true that George Bush worked with a community service group at the same time he took a leave of absence from the Air national Guard?" Plant the seeds, let it grow, feed it. If you start out asking if it's true that Bush got some girl knocked up while on a cocaine binge while AWOL you will be immediately dismissed as a kook. These things have to ripen before picking.

Start a yahoo group. Find blogs that will let you post. Send a letter or email every time you hear a reference on the radio or TV.

I'll be doing the same with the Valerie Plame thing.
We're going to try to produce our own little October Surprise with this stuff. it's out there. One of us will find it.

9. Find the number of his first TX Drivers' License

There must be some document that hasn't been cleansed that has that number on it: arrest reports for stealing the wreath or destroying the goalposts, enlistment records, enrollment forms, affidavits, all sorts of things.

Next: narrow down the date as tightly as you can and determine where the precinct would have been. Then go after court records.

Doesn't Larry Flynt have an award out for information about this eight-ball snorting eight-ball?

Don't let people sniffle about respecting addiction; this is a question of deceiving the world about one's character and manipulating the law through privilege. It's one thing to get favorable treatment under the law due to position, but it's another to scrub a felony.

If there are hair clippings of the time, we could also do some toxicology tests, but they'd only prove that Ninnyboy was a drug user.

10. Here Is Kerry On The Issue

But despite significant media attention this week, the only government official to touch upon the disconnect between the drug use of political leaders and the punitive drug policies that they often espouse was Sen. John Kerry (D-MA).

On Monday, Kerry was asked by reporters to explain why he thought that questions surrounding George Bush regarding whether or not he had used cocaine were more substantively relevant than Gore's use of marijuana. Kerry, noting that Al Gore had already admitted his use of marijuana, said:

"(H)e (Gore) said 'I used it.' So that's not an issue... And I don't think Al Gore intends, you know, to make prior use an issue of other people, except to the degree that it affects public policy."

Pressed later on the question of the Bush cocaine rumors, Kerry laid out his thinking on why Bush's drug use, if substantiated, is indeed an important issue for voters to consider:

"The issue about George Bush is not the fact that he may have used it, said Kerry. "The issue about George Bush is, how can you, if you have (used cocaine), have a position that is so at odds in terms of being a governor where you send a lot of other people who may have done the same thing you do to jail. That's the issue. It's not a question of whether he used it or when he used it, it's a question of what his policy is today and whether that's hypocritical and dangerous."

On "Fox News Sunday," John Kerry claimed Gore was better than Bush because he admitted use, and better than Clinton because he didn't claim he only used it once and didn't inhale. Then he turned around and said Bush's rumored drug use should be the only issue since he supported tough drug laws.
