M de Cannabis


En el debate por la despenalización de la marihuana organizado por la Asamblea Legislativa en el Polyforum se presentaron las posturas a favor y en contra. De los que estuvieron en contra aplaudo el coraje de sentarse frente a una contundente mayoría para defender su postura conservadora. De los que estuvieron a favor, me encantó la posición de Nicolás Alvarado que sintetizo en su frase "la salud es un derecho No una obligación". En la segunda mesa, Alejandro Madrazo se llevó las palmas, lo mismo en su intervención inicial como en sus respuestas al público y a los participantes. En serio, lo detenían los aplausos una y otra vez. Soy fans. El lugar estuvo lleno durante más de 6 horas. Salí muy contenta. Quiero incluir aquí sólo el primer párrafo que Fernando Solana Olivares leyó en su intervención. Es una verdadera joya. Salud! o mejor dicho Intoxicación Revolucionaria!

ALEGATO SOBRE LAS DROGAS
El que esté libre de adicción que tire la primera piedra. Adicciones hay muchas, son incontables y, desde luego, consustanciales a este estado de conciencia que llamamos humano. Adicción a uno mismo, en primer lugar, y después una serie sin fin de conductas incontroladas y dependientes: adicción al poder, al dinero, al sexo, a la política, a los carbohidratos, al internet, al juego, a los fetiches, a las enfermedades, al celular, a las compras, a la catástrofe, a los refrescos, a las películas, al ejercicio, a los barbitúricos, a la anorexia, a la seducción, a las emociones: adicción a la adicción.


Somos adictos a muchas cosas pero penalizamos las drogas. ¿Qué son las drogas? Simplemente aquello que se designa como tal: esas sustancias anatematizadas sobre las que se construye un consenso público, inducidamente histérico y manipulado, que declara y promulga su nocividad. Las pruebas objetivas para acreditar dichos consensos no le hacen falta a un sistema hegemónico que controla mentes, fomenta miedos e inventa leyes mediante sus elásticas e interesadas versiones de la verdad.

Arándano


Mmm... un jugoso pavo con salsa de arándano, puré de papas y pay de calabaza.
Ésta imagen de Peanuts tiene claramente un toque discriminatorio por racista. Me gusta pensar que 40 años después, la historia le ha hecho justicia a Franklin y que hoy cualquiera pensaría que está solito de un lado de la mesa porque es quien la preside. Yeah! Qué bonito Día de Gracias.

God Help Him, But Area Man Loves That Crazy Bitch

"Aw, who am I kidding? That nut-job's really got my number," Shearer told reporters after being locked out of the apartment he shares with the total psycho. "She may not give me a moment's peace and I can't mention another woman's name without hearing about it for a week, but what can I do? She's the one. That fucking lunatic is the one."

Shearer then concluded his address, sighed, and began gathering his shirts and pants from his front lawn.

Shearer's proclamation of love for that big sack of crazy comes in direct contradiction to a statement he made at the Loading Dock nightclub last week. After getting into an argument with his girlfriend over not taking her computer classes seriously enough, Shearer was reportedly thrown out of the bar at the request of the fucking basket case, who just five minutes later assaulted the bouncer for "getting in her business" and was thrown out herself.

During the intervening minutes, Shearer made a number of public statements regarding his girlfriend's unstable mental health, fluctuating emotions, and irritating pine-nut allergy before reconciling with the bat-shit insane woman in the backseat of their car.

Although Shearer has tried multiple times to leave that crazy bitch once and for all, he has thus far been unsuccessful. His most recent attempt came shortly after she arrived at his office sobbing over the death of her seventh straight pet parakeet, but was ultimately delayed when Shearer couldn't imagine his life without the raving sociopath.

"Maybe it's the way she dumped her nail polish on my pool table when I insulted her sister, or the way she cries every time I eat veal, but damned if I don't adore her crazy ass," Shearer said. "I'll kill her someday, I swear, but that wack-job is going to end up being the mother of my children."

Friends said they have seen the couple go through many difficult times in years past, including that night when the crazy bitch had a little bit too much to drink and accused Shearer of hiding money from her, and that incident, a few weeks back, when she locked herself inside the bathroom and refused to come out until Shearer had thrown away the casserole she cooked, like she knew he wanted to. Still, sources confirmed that Shearer and his old lady always seem to work things out in the end, a trend that may suggest those crazy fucks are perfect for each other.

"If my girlfriend wrote 'limp dick' in permanent marker on all my work shirts because I said Kate Winslet was hot, I'd probably leave her," Shearer's longtime friend James Pennette said. "But Craig? Man, does he have it bad for that crazy bitch."

Pennette could not be reached for further comment, as he is currently recovering in West Hills Hospital for talking shit about the love of Shearer's life.
