He did it!!!! President Barack Obama threw out the first pitch at the 80th Major League Baseball All Star Game in St. Louis a few minutes ago, and made it reach Cardinal Ist Baseman Albert Pujols. By the looks of things a 2 seam fastball at that.

This morning's debate is about Marijuana. Personally I dont smoke weed so I am neither pro or con on the subject, but this blog is just to point out situations and voice my opinion on the subject. Seems like everywhere I go someone is talkin bout weed, talkin bout gettin some weed, smokin' weed, tryin to buy weed, hell and some places I've been even sellin some weed. Rappers rap about it in their lyrics, Entertainers use it...its a recreational drug. From my experiences through conversation, it makes you hungry and sleepy...LOL
Chicago Cubs catcher Geovany Soto tested positive for marijuana at the World Baseball Classic. He through the Cubs released a statement saying, "While I fully acknowledge my inappropriate behavior I want to assure my fans and my family that this is an isolated incident." His skipper Lou Pinella also said that he had partaken of the bud. Albeit in defense of his player and to take some of the pressure off the youngster. Hell when Lou played ball though erybody and their moms was smokin so his statement really meant nothin. Record setting and breaking Olympic athletes Michael Phelps (US Swimming sensation) and Usain Bolt (Fastest Jamaican alive) have both been in weed contraversies, Bolt admitted to smoking it as a youth (and how old is this cat 19?) and of course we all know of Phelps photo of him hittin the bong...that was taken by (and prolly leaked by) a "friend".
Lil Wayne has been caught with weed on several occassions, and in an interview with "America's sweetheart" Katie Curic said and I quote "I will stand up for marijuana any day... I'm a rapper. Thats who I am, Miss Katie and I am a gangster and I do what I want. And I love to smoke. And I smoke." He even wrote a song called "I Feel Like Dying" (YouTube that joint, its got a hot beat). Weed is a rappers staple. The list is far too long to list, but cats like Method Man and Redman, The Notorious B.I.G., Snoop Dogg, Tupac, and even the comical Afroman who is famous for his song, "Because I Get High". Dr. Dre has named two solo albums after weed, The Chronic and the Chronic 2001...both were soundtracks to smoke by. Hell Bob Marley is probably the most famous musical proponent of the herb.
I'm pretty sure that plenty entertainers smoke. Robert Downey Jr was definetly a pot head. There have been plenty movies that are primarily focused on weed...Half Baked, Dazed and Confused, Pineapple Express, and all three of the Friday trilogies have invoked weed smoke in the plots. Matter of fact in Next Friday there was a scene where Craig (Ice Cube) had a sess session with his uncle (D.C. Curry) and his girlfriend (Kym Whitley), afterwhich they had 2 minute sex and Craig hallucinates about the girl from next door, until the delivery man comes to the door and blew his high. Dave Chappell is an advocate of the bud...He says it in his standup routine, movies and even in his Chappell Show skits... It aint hard to tell...
Weed isnt limited to just athletes and entertainers. Public officials have either admitted to "experimented" with weed. Some have had unfavorable results and some have become iconic. Douglas Ginsberg a former Supreme Court nominee of the Reagan administration had to withdraw from the nomination when it was discovered that he had smoked weed before. Former President Bill Clinton (newly inducted into the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity LOLOLOL!) admitted to experimenting with weed in England... he said he didnt like it and "I didn't inhale". In a 2004 Presidential debate aired on CNN, Anderson Cooper read a viewer email question to panel and asked which of the Congressional seat holders vying for the Presidency had smoked before, John Kerry and John Edwards both admitted to it, while John Lieberman went so far as to proceed his answer with the disclaimer, "I have a reputation for giving unpopular answers in Democratic debates, I never used marijuana, sorry...". Even the P.O.T.U.S. Barack Obama admitted to smoking pot, "When I was a kid [pause], I inhaled, frequently, [pause], that was the point...".
Its an accepted part of the culture. While some states have legalized medicinal marijuana, 10 to be exact (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington), Im of the opinion that it should be legalized. My moms said (and yes she and I talk about damn near everything with the exception of me gettin married, LOL) that weed needs to be sold out of police stations, in small quantities (nickel and dime sacks) that way you have a list of those who purchases and it can be taxed...With the 9% sales tax in New Orleans your weed would be $5.45 hell they could sell a blunt for .50 and round it all up to 6 bucks... I told her it was a good idea cause cops are corrupted anyway...She laughed but I was dead serious. But whats the problem with legalizing street grade marijana? Have you ever seen anyone get shot up, or robbed, or breaking and entering after smokin a joint, blunt, bong, or whatever? I know I havent. The most I've seen is niggaz fall asleep or make a run for the corner store wit the munchies. I know that this may not sit well with the trafficers and kingpins, but you wont get in any trouble as long as you move it in small quantities and give receipts. It would be just like movin Newports cross state lines. No biggie. Its still gonna get moved and it is what it is...

How many of you folks out there realize that P.O.T.U.S. Barack Obama, is not only the most powerful man in the world (aint that some shit)...but is living the life of a mega rock star, except without the drugs, drinks, and torrid sex tape. This man captivates the masses to where they scream, cry, puff their chest out with pride and then fall out. I was tellin my homie that I wouldn't want the headaches of the job, but I sure would love to do some of the things he does...(mind you its been 6 months since he was inaugurated and aint nobody take a shot at him yet). He travels the world in a flying house, have you seen inside of Air Force 1? Its laid out!Talk about crazy frequent flyer mileage, just this week he has flown to Moscow, to Rome, the G8 Summit in L'Aquilla, Italy, back to Rome, then to Africa to begin a 6 country tour of the continent....
He meets some of the most interesting people in the world and they actually kiss his ass. Just this week alone he has been seen with the President of the Soviet Union (if thats what they are still calliin it, or is it Russia?), the Prime Minister of said country, and today was kickin it with Benny...not that Benny, but Pope Benedict. I mean taking pictures and all, (I bet his MySpace photo album would be a fool...) Dude and his wife hung with the Queen of England (with iPods in tow). Then he switches it up and hung out with Al Sharpton, Stevie Wonder, and even Chris "Ludacris" Bridges...

BREAK -------------------
Female #2: I know huh? I'd even do that thing with the ice cubes...
Female #2: And that $!*%# Michelle got that dude sprung...wide open! Female #1: Girl shut up dem niggaz at the table behind us are listening Me: You damn straight, would you like some ice?Now when was the last time you EVER heard two hoodrats talkin about anything dealin with the government that did include food stamps, welfare checks, and income tax checks?His (and I hate this word wit a passion, but I'm finna use it here) swag is so damn dominant that you gotta give it up to him. He never hides his "blackness" at all, his walk, the way he holds himself when he talks, he plays basketball, and smokes Newports. He aint scared to walk in the corner burger joint and grab a lil something. He loves caking with his wife and is a daddy to his daughters. Always on his crackberry, prolly on Twitter and checkin his email and shit, you know how we addicted to dem thangs. If you remember the inauguration, he had a "nigga moment" (please send all hat ail for that comment to Aaron McGregor ~The management). You tryin to think about what Im talkin bout arent you. Well, he got "the job"...authenticated his staff (signed a couple of papers basically), then went to lunch. After lunch when you would think a man startin a new job would be back at the office gettin his work on...NOOOOOOOOOO, he wants to walk around the streets of D.C., after his afternoon stroll with his old lady (more caking), he went back the crib, changed clothes and then went party hoppin getin to the party late, dance one song, say a few words, then was out to the next one....You already knows what happens after the club, dont you? Thats right...hit the Waffle House, the store on the corner and then he bent the First Baby Mama cross the desk in the Oval Office...
Now aint that the life? Hail to the Chief!!!!
