Jerry Brown Against Pot + St. Patty's DInner + Salute

Jerry Brown has come out against legalizing marijuana in California. Brown said that people need to be more focused today because the world is a scary place to live,  and people shouldn't go around in a stoner haze.

No wonder this man never made it as a Jesuit Priest. He has to be one of the most dour uptight people I have ever met in my life. Obtuse is a great way to describe Jerry. Potential Asperger's patient is another. Moonbeam never suited him, and might be an insult to a hippie who goes by that nickname.  Gavin Newsom, the Democrats version of Gumby, who's positioning himself for Jerry's job, has wisely come out in favor of legalization.

That's exactly why people are getting high Governor i.e., because the world is a scary place. We want to forget about the sorry state of the world. When was it not a scary place? This man lived in Oaksterdam.

Most people in America think that California is full of liberals, or people who call themselves liberals, but it's bullshit. The very same initiative was  handily voted down the last time it was on the ballad four years ago. The people who currently grow and sell pot don't want it legalized because it will become cheaper, so they didn't promote it's passage. The medical marijuana people are getting rich off it not being legalized.

You would think the 30 year old, we invented cool, liberal hipsters would come out in droves and vote for legalization of marijuana. These are the very same people who are starting families. They are also the people who put helmets on their children when they're playing on the grass, and carry a bottle of  hand sanitizer with them at all times. God forbid their delicate little geniuses would ever spark up a dube.

Conversely in the last election who came out in favor of legalizing pot? Answer, the Mormon Church came out in favor of the marijuana initiative because it was made by the hand of god for our use. Praise the Lord and Joseph Smith, I couldn't agree more. So was barleycorn and yeast. Yeast floats around in the air.

It would be much cheaper to let people get high than to incarcerate them for committing crimes to get drugs, but the prison system is big money, big money.  Jerry Brown is always saying that California can't afford to keep all these prisoners in jail. Jesuit scholar you say? Priest like? Every party needs a pooper that's why we invited you, party pooper, party pooper. People doing prison sentences for pot, for getting high,  please. Is that the tolerance the Catholic Church taught you in seminary school Father Brown?

This is a man in dire need of the medicinal benefits of marijuana himself. Maybe he's like someone who is anti-gay person because he's afraid that he/she is actually gay themselves, and they have to fight back those strange impure urges they get must fight back. Quit fighting Jerry, and light the fuck up. Free your mind, and your fake liberal white ass will follow. Jerry was one of the people who inspired the political terminology "green fascist",  back in the late 70's.

That is my rant for the week. I can't say how much I've disliked this man over the years. "Oh, Jerry, Should we spray the med fly or not spray the med fly?"

I always hear people say, if everyone just voted Democratic instead of Republican it would all be better. No kidding? California is run by Democrats. One look at the sorry state of the sate of California and you might rethink that statement. My problem is that they're all the same to me, and I'm tired of choosing the lesser of two evils.

I promise I will post a recipe for something related to corned beef, and Saint Patty's Day, before the weekend comes. I cooked a 3.9 pound brisket, at 350 degrees, and it took about an hour to reach an internal temperature of 150 degrees. I let it cool for 25 minutes and it came out the way I like it, medium/medium rare. I did use a brown sugar glaze, and served it with red and yellow fingerling potatoes, and sauteed cabbage,. Geri picked up some Irish cookies at the bakery, and served them with mocha fudge ice cream from Lorde's.

Our friend Buzz and I did our toast, as repeated from his father-in-law, Johnny Gallagher,  to the Irish, "When the good lord made the Irish he didn't make much, but what he did make was a damn sight better than the Dutch."

That's it.

Life is what happens in between meals.

Peace,
