November 5, 2008 - Hawaii County

A measure to make marijuana the lowest enforcement priority for the Hawaii County Police Department has won the vote of the public. In yesterday's 2008 general election, over 53 percent of the votes cast were in favor of the Peaceful Sky initiative, which was placed on the November ballot by a Hawaii County Council vote in August.

According to language in the ordinance introduced by council, the purpose of the article is to "provide law enforcement more time and resources to focus on more series crimes", free up prison space and the court system, and "reduce the fear of prosecution and the stigma of criminality from non-violent citizens who harmlessly cultivate and/or use Cannabis for personal, medicinal, religious, and recreational purposes."

38% of the voting public voted against the measure. 8% of all Big Island voters left the ballot question blank.

ha, exactly. the guardian e-mail roundup today began with the words "America's next president,
Barack Obama" and i punched the air. it's still such a fucking joy to see.

BARACK.

OBAMA.

"list of names that probably belong to people i do not want to fuck with"

i haven't personally admired and felt proud of a president in my entire life until now - my dad says the last time he felt this way was with jfk

I would like the proper internet so I can look for flights from pittsburgh to dc for innauguration day. I'd like to be there and I have my schedules and I have that afternoon free possibly the whole day if I fail to get onto this hard to get onto course.

Headline from one of the german papers:

'Yes We Can Freunde Sein'

and quite often i cry a little bit as well from joy.

barack obama.

What happens now?
How long before we actually see him on the steps of the WH?
And what will the CIA be telling BO in the meeting he's having with them (that's got to be a meeting worth bing in on, right?).

being

do you mean when is he officially sworn in or when can we expect a sitdown with bush??

And what will the CIA be telling BO in the meeting he's having with them (that's got to be a meeting worth bing in on, right?).

also the US pres and vice pres get CIA intelligence briefings every
morning until they leave office. today was the first day oabama and biden got them. nothing really special except that its the first of about 1,400.

bush kept his intelligence briefings as brief as possible amirite

A common satire, but I like to think that the cia used sock puppets from behind the oval office sofa for bush's briefings.

someone should make a mock daily intelligence briefing app for iphone

I'm pretty sure that, some time after several drinks last night, I uttered the words "I feel magical".

BARAK OBAMA IN YR FACE !

do you mean when is he officially sworn in or when can we expect a sitdown with bush??

Yes, the second bit. I want to see him with the WH in the background. I can;t wait till January.

I'm a bit dissappointed about the CIA briefing bit. I thought this was when they hand over the files on aliens and who killed Kennedy. That's the only reason for becoming President surely?

HE KNOWS LINCOLN'S TREASURE NOWWWW

President Barack Obama

what a bro president elect

What is the order of play for an innauguration?

More McCain/Palin laundry airing -- nothing much new, but an odd detail:

Advisers in the McCain campaign, in suggesting that Palin advisers had been leaking damaging information about the McCain campaign to the news media, said they were particularly suspicious of Randy Scheunemann, Mr. McCain’s top foreign policy aide who had a central role in preparing Ms. Palin for the vice-presidential debate.

As a result, two senior members of the McCain campaign said on Wednesday that Mr. Scheunemann had been fired from the campaign in its final days. But Rick Davis, the McCain campaign manager, and Mr. Salter, one of Mr. McCain’s closest advisers, said Wednesday that Mr. Scheunemann had in fact not been dismissed. Mr. Scheunemann, who picked up the phone in his office at McCain campaign headquarters on Wednesday afternoon, responded that “anybody who says I was fired is either lying or delusional or a whack job.”

Mr. Scheunemann was referring to widely disseminated criticism by Mr. McCain’s advisers in the final days of the campaign that Ms. Palin, as first reported in Politico, was a “whack job.”

Whatever the permutations, the advisers said they strongly believed that Mr. Scheunemann was disclosing, as one put it, “a constant stream of poison” to William Kristol, the editor of the conservative Weekly Standard and a columnist for The New York Times.

Mr. Kristol, who wrote a column on Oct. 13 calling on Mr. McCain to fire his campaign because it was “close to being out-and-out dysfunctional,” said in a telephone interview on Wednesday that the campaign advisers were paranoid. Mr. Kristol has been a strong supporter of Ms. Palin.

“I wasn’t writing poison,” Mr. Kristol said. He added: “Randy Scheunemann is a friend of mine and I think he did a good job. I talked to him, but I talked to a lot of people at the campaign.”

“I wasn’t writing poison,” Mr. Kristol said

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

William Kristol's sweet nectar.

(IIRC his contract with the NYT is up in two months and he's being replaced by Bono.)

I just want to reiterate this:

SUCK ON SOME SHIT YOU BITCHASS 700 CLUB MOTHER FUCKERS
WE JUST ELECTED A BLACK DUDE FROM SPACE
GET TO THE CHOPPA

― El Tomboto

best haiku ever

U2's Bono is the latest columnist to be hired by New York's esteemed newspaper. Editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal announced the decision at Columbia's School of Journalism this week, saying that the former Nobel Peace Prize nominee will pen between six and 10 articles over the course of 2009.

^^^ this is not the kind of change we need

maybe he'll write about the hot chicks from the pic on would smash

Totally ridic but cool in its implication that Kristol's column belongs to some "amateur hour" Op-Ed category.

this obama just won cause the economy tanked lookit what the polls did when lehman went under meme is stupid - havent any of u fuckrs heard of a convention bounce

holy shit
