How did I miss this: Andrew Sullivan's Pot Bust Dismissal

How did I miss this: Andrew Sullivan's Pot Bust

Then again, above and beyond the not-so-small matter of double standards, do I really care?

Reihl World View: Federal Judge: Andrew Sullivan's Pot Bust Raises "Equal Protection Issues"

Federal Judge: Andrew Sullivan's Pot Bust Raises "Equal Protection Issues"

Update: Chill out folks, it's only pot. It isn't like he was caught using caffeine.

A Federal Judge claims Andrew Sullivan's recent arrest on a marijuana charge raises fundamental issues of law, though the charges have been dismissed. The judge believes the dismissal raises equal protection issues. However, he was forced to dismiss the charges at the DA's request, though feeling that justice was not being served. Hmm

The rest of the post excerpted below is here. The full decision can be read here.

I liked the remark on the whole matter by Vodkapundit in his post, “A blog item of Astounding Uselessness.”

It reads: “UPDATE: A retired “felony weight” pot distributor is ready to throw the book at Andrew. “Anybody stupid enough to get busted for dope is a danger to himself and others and should be locked up for the good of society. Dude, if you can’t outsmart a narc . . .”

And yes, of course, I liked: “Make point about the media feeding frenzy if, say, George Will had been busted for pot.”

Yeah, I was right in the first place. I don’t care. Whatever. Move along folks. Nothing to see here. Crickets chirping.

Red Maryland: Memo to Kanye: Liberals Do Not Care About People, period.

By P. Kenneth Burns, the editor of Maryland Politics Today. Source: redmaryland.blogspot.com Saturday, September 12, 2009

September 2, 2005…NBC is airing a special fundraiser for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. For the record, a situation that would not have happened because of a bipartisan screw-up going back for decades, but it is what it is. Actor Mike Myers of “Wayne’s World” and “Austin Powers” fame was sharing the camera with rapper and self-proclaimed idol Kanye West. Myers stuck with the script; West did not. As a matter of fact, the guy who did not become humble following a recent “South Park” episode, despite his saying he would, proudly proclaimed that “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people.”

Well excuse me Mr. West, but you are dead wrong and by the way, you are not that good of rapper, sir. If one sits down and looks at the score card, it is the liberals who not only “doesn’t care about Black people,” they do not care about Spanish people, Asian people, and the list goes on and on.

Kanye West grabs mic from Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs and makes a fool of himself

Kanye West grabs mic from Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs and makes a fool of himself – it wasn’t hard for Mr. West. He’s a professional troll.

Click here for a larger image: http://twitpic.com/hp3da

September 14, 2009 by Kevin Dayhoff http://tinyurl.com/mt2bj4

By now many folks are aware of Kanye West’s cringe worthy YouTube moment when he jumped up on the stage last night at Radio City Music Hall during the MTV Video Music Awards and grabbed the microphone away from Taylor Swift and ranted that Beyoncé had been overlooked for the “Best Female Video” award.

Swift, 19, who had won the award for “You Belong With Me,” was just beginning to say, “I always wondered what it would be like to maybe win one of these someday, but never actually thought it would happen...”

Well, her moment in the sun that did not happen as a result of the crass, bizarre behavior of Kanye – anything goes, cuz I’m self-absorbed and narcissistic – West.

I can’t wait to read the reaction of my colleague and good friend, Kenny Burns, who is my resident Kanye West authority. Read, “Red Maryland: Memo to Kanye: Liberals Do Not Care About People, period,” By P. Kenneth Burns, the editor of Maryland Politics Today.

After I read Burns’ column, I was pondering; gee, I wonder how he really feels. Were you holding back on us Mr. Burns?

Last night, our hearts went out to Swift. It was her first award, and, well, West pissed on her parade ‘real good.’ She did not finish her acceptance remarks…

Fortunately as tacky and classless as West was; the hero of the hour was Beyoncé, who showed some grace, poise and class; and invited Swift up on stage to say a few words, when Beyoncé was awarded “video of the year” for “Single Ladies.”

According to one account I read, “Beyoncé recalled that she won her first VMA at age 17, as a member of Destiny's Child…”

Several years ago, I had taken an interest in Kanye West’s career after the release of his “The College Dropout” record debut in 2004.

Yeah, since I am also a college dropout, it was the title that first captured my attention…

Of course, that was before his September 2, 2005 outburst, “George Bush doesn't care about black people.” I’ve been quite successful in ignoring him ever since.

Oddly enough, if you will recall, that outburst came days after his “Late Registration” album had been released, which I had considered purchasing.

Apparently the fact that I did not purchase it did not cause Mr. West any problems. And since it was rather artistically creative, perhaps, in the end, the joke was on me and it was my loss.

It has been said, that his Tourette’s-like outburst about President Bush helped the sale of his album. That he was “rewarded” for his behavior.

Now, isn’t that stupid. Isn’t it elementary that if a person can behave so bizarrely towards someone or something in which you agree needed the rebuke – the same person may exhibit the same behavior in a manner that could be upsetting. Bad behavior in a cause in which you believe does not make the behavior acceptable.

Yeah, Yeah, I’m well aware of the Ezra Pound discourse on talent. That we can appreciate someone’s talent even though the artist may hold a worldview or behave in a manner that is abhorrent. Whatever.

It is my money and my time and I just cannot bring myself around to support a troll.

I have no problem disagreeing with an artist and enjoying his or her work. I have a problem with jerks. That said, I still like Neil Young, so where the line is drawn for me, is, well, I guess, unscientific.

A little research will reveal that Mr. West seems to have a knack for Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, for which he has not, obviously, been successfully treated.

Be sure to read, “EMA’s Shocker: Kanye Stage Invasion!,” on the MTV United Kingdom site:

“The Best Hip Hop winner lashes out after missing out on Best Video award...
22:47, Thursday, 2 November 2006

“Click here to watch Kanye's stage invasion... Watch the EMAs again on Overdrive now...

“Kanye West unleashed an amazing outburst after failing to take home the gong for 'Best Video' for his 'Touch The Sky' promo at the EMAs.

“Crashing the stage as friends of the winners Justice V Simian collected their silverwear for 'We Are Your Friends', the hip hop star spat, "F*ck dis! (My video) cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it, I was jumping across canyons and sh*t! If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility. Nothing against you (J&S), but hell man."

“His verbal tirade left audience members gasping but it didn't end there.

“After the show the offended star continued to vent his spleen in the press conference.”

You simply must read the rest of the account, here: EMA’s Shocker: Kanye Stage Invasion!

This is priceless. You can’t this kind of stuff up. If I had included such a scenario in a short work of fiction, I would be berated because it failed to suspend disbelief…

Ya know folks. This could be serious. Mr. West may have some sociopathic psychopathy involvement, such as antisocial - dissocial personality disorder or Coprolalia.

So, maybe we should feel sorry for him, because he is obviously not a well man – a victim, if you will?

Nah, the guy’s a troll. What say you, Mr. Burns – take it away... And don’t hold back.

National Right to Life Responds to Sebelius Comments on ABC News's 'This Week with George Stephanopoulos'

National Right to Life Responds to Sebelius Comments on ABC News's 'This Week with George Stephanopoulos'

September 13, 2009

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 /Christian Newswire/ -- Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, appearing on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, addressed questions pertaining to the effect of health care legislation on abortion policy. George Stephanopoulos has posted a partial transcript of the exchange on his blog at

blogs.abcnews.com/george/2009/09/sebelius- president-rules-out-public-funding-for- abortion.html.

What follows is a reaction from Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the national federation of right-to- life organizations: "For months, the President, his staff, and his congressional allies have misrepresented actual language in their bills that would result in government funding of elective abortions. The latest statements by Mr. Obama and Ms. Sebelius are most likely a continuation of their strategy of denial, evasion, and distortion. We say, watch what they do, not what they say."

Further details on the ongoing disinformation campaign is found here: www.nrlc.org/AHC/Advisory090809.html

The National Right to Life Committee, the nation's largest pro-life group is a federation of affiliates in all 50 states and 3,000 local chapters nationwide.

I was following Mr. Breitbart’s latest musings and meandering earlier today and I was reminiscing upon the last time I had a chance to talk with him. It was just over a year ago:

Andrew Breitbart, September 1, 2008 at the Republican National Convention Photo by Kevin Dayhoff www.kevindayhoff.net

September 1, 2008

On opening day of the Republican National Convention I took the opportunity to visit the print media news centers that were set up. They were large and complicated partitioned beehives of activity with what seemed to be miles of wires everywhere. When I stopped by the Washington Post news center, I found well-known blogger Andrew Breitbart (www.breitbart.com) and his business partner Larry Solov.

Mr. Breitbart was in make-up getting ready for a guest appearance on a Post news video… He was quite friendly and talkative and appeared to having the time of his life.

As much as I try so hard to keep all my research organized, every once in awhile I come across a cache of notes… Sorta like the squirrel in the backyard that buries food here and there for the future; or whatever reason squirrels do the things they do.

I refer to them as the “Flat Kevin Files” … The mindless meanderings of a mad writer.

Often when I find such a grab-bag of this and that; I like to click through them for whatever surprises they bring forth.

In the past, I have posted them for the hechuva it…

Washington Examiner Political Digest

Michael Barone - New York Times columnist Tom Friedman hails China's one-party autocracy

The dwindling number of readers of the New York Times were treated Wednesday to a column by Thomas Friedman extolling China's "one-party autocracy," which, he told us, "is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people." China's leaders, he reported, are "boosting gasoline prices" and "overtaking us in electric cars, solar power, energy efficiency, batteries, nuclear power and wind power." All, of course, in the cause of reducing carbon emissions, which so many luminaries assure us are bound to produce global warming and environmental catastrophe.

As Jonah Goldberg, author of the scholarly best-seller "Liberal Fascism" notes, "This is exactly the argument that was made by American fans of Mussolini in the 1920s." Mussolini, we were told then, made the trains run on time. He drained the Pontine marshes. He got things done while Americans, with their chaotic democratic politics, dithered.

Timothy P. Carney - Billy Tauzin: K Street's Drug Kingpin

The drug industry's top lobbyist has a history of fighting and winning -- whatever team he's on

This summer and fall, as the drug industry's top lobbyist, Tauzin is once more in the center of the fray. He finds himself cozying up to a president who used him as a whipping boy during the campaign and is derided as an appeaser by his former GOP House colleagues. On top of all that, he appears to have wounded his new partners by spilling the details of a closed-door deal between the drug industry and the White House.
