FrontPage magazine.com :: An Honest Confession by an American Coward by Pat Conroy
Why do so many liberals turn conservative in their dotage? IF only they had spent their youth in thoughtful service to their country and its ideals.

I received your message indicating surprise and disappointment with your final grade this semester. In your message, you said “I did miss several days in your class. I did not mean to miss but I was just going through so much this semester with a death in my family, my house got robbed, fired from my job for being 10 minutes late and my good friend died so i [sic] am sorry for that.”
I am sorry, too. I am particularly sorry that I was hog hunting in South Carolina and was, therefore, unable to respond immediately to your rather pathetic little missive. But before I get to the solution to your problem, let me share with you some of the details of my hunt. After you hear those details, you may decide that you are interested in an extra credit assignment designed especially for you, your special needs, and your fragile feminine feelings."

No Shit, Sherlock!
Aside from the health debate over legalizing marijuana, Garrison Courtney, spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Agency, says groups that advocate its taxation sometimes paint too rosy a picture.
"It's still a drug," Courtney says. "Just because it's a good cash crop doesn't mean you should legalize and tax it."
"It's not these cute mom-and-pop bong shops anymore," Courtney continued. "It's violent drug-trafficking groups that are doing all these grows."
It ain't the Mom and Pop shops because it's illegal. Get it? Make something illegal and guess what?....violent elements, even criminal elements, will be attracted to the profits fostered by the artificially high prices prohibition places on the illegal substance.
DEA= Dumb Blank Asshats. Anyone got a good acrony? a
