This from today’s Washington Post:

The largest study of its kind has unexpectedly concluded that smoking marijuana, even regularly and heavily, does not lead to lung cancer.

The new findings “were against our expectations,” said Donald Tashkin of the University of California at Los Angeles, a pulmonologist who has studied marijuana for 30 years.

“We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer, and that the association would be more positive with heavier use,” he said. “What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect.”

If you’re so inclined, better light ‘em up now before they cause cancer again.

I just upgraded the site to the newest version of Wordpress.  Please let me know if anything looks funky.

Thanks!

It’s all very confusing. Do we like Obama? Are we over him? Tell us what to think, mainstream media!

Are you a conservative who was disappointed by the election results but nevertheless harbor no ill will toward the incoming Obama administration?  Are you making an effort to come together and support Obama, to wish him well as he attempts to steer us through troubled waters? If so, you’re a turncoat traitor, according to conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh.  El Rushbo thinks that you shouldn’t wish Obama well because liberals didn’t want Bush to succeed in 2001, which was wrong; therefore, conservatives should get their revenge by hoping Obama doesn’t succeed either, because that’s right.

“Why?” Limbaugh demanded. “They didn’t give Bush a chance in 2000. Before he was inaugurated, the search-and-destroy mission had begun. I’m not talking about search-and-destroy, but I’ve been listening to Barack Obama for a year and a half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don’t want them to succeed.”
