The entire operation was spontaneous and state-less (that's the anarchist part). There was ZERO government aid or involvement from start to finish, from donations collected in South Beach to aid distributed in Haiti. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only contact with any government agents was them wondering whether or not to shut us down. But, after seeing so many volunteers working around-the-clock, dozens of News cameras swarming the location for interviews and footage and literally truck-after-truck filled to the brim with supplies, the goons backed off. The next day the Miami Beach police even volunteered to BRING people to our site to drop off supplies (maybe you can call that Government aid, but I think the lady cop was acting out of the kindness of her heart)! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After we collected in South Beach, the trucks drove to the Opa Locka airport where &lt;a href="http://www.turnberryaviation.com/"&gt;Turnberry Aviation&lt;/a&gt; volunteered to fly the supplies directly to Port Au Prince, Haiti. There a group of University of Miami Doctors headed by &lt;a href="http://cbs4.com/local/earthquake.haiti.miami.2.1424147.html"&gt;Dr. Barth Green will distribute the supplies&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its an amazing experience so far and we will be collecting supplies until Monday, January 18th. If you live in South Florida, stop on by or do whatever it takes to make a difference in the lives of the victims in Haiti. This experience proves that we don't need politics or the State to help those in need.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11178326-8120028733749986309?l=www.chicotown.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/8120028733749986309/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=8120028733749986309&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/8120028733749986309'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/8120028733749986309'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2010/01/anarchy-brings-relief-to-haiti.html' title='Anarchy brings relief to Haiti'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13124429499592873677'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-3208334785663987196</id><published>2010-01-15T20:27:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-15T20:32:51.942-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Anarchy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ron Paul'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Police State'/><title type='text'>Dangerous Talk from Ron Paul</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yqf8_nWPedk&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yqf8_nWPedk&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've never head Ron Paul speak so viciously on any interview. He's really talking crazy shit about the State. This doesn't sound like a guy who's been in D.C. (in an out) for about 30 years. He actually sounds like an outsider who wants to tear down the establishment. He talks the talk and walks it too. If he ever gets elected president, the establishment will Kennedy him so fast... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The powers-that-be will fight with everything they got to keep Ron Paul and his kind from achieving the necessary power to shut down their gravy train in D.C.

Ron Paul is the realist who knows you have to smash this racket, shut them down, send them home and let "We the People" (aka The Free Market) take care of everything through non-violence, cooperation, free exchange and commerce.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11178326-4502854323307251378?l=www.chicotown.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/4502854323307251378/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=4502854323307251378&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/4502854323307251378'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/4502854323307251378'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2009/10/ron-paul-shits-on-michael-moore.html' title='Ron Paul shits on Michael Moore, Republicans &amp; Democrats'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13124429499592873677'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-3559837578513773126</id><published>2009-10-09T11:08:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-09T11:49:12.570-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='War'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dr. Martin Luther King'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Peace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Police State'/><title type='text'>WTF? Obama's Peace prize aint shit!</title><content type='html'>I swear the first thing that came to my mind when I read the headlines of Obama's Peace prize that it was an April fool's joke of some sort. I even had to check my calendar to make sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama's award was given to him out of pure politics. Just like the Nobel Prize in economics given to Paul Krugman (a complete moron when it come's to economics) this "peace" prize is a slap in the face to those who are truly trying to promote peace in the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is the current Caesar, emperor of the biggest empire on earth and commander of the largest terrorist organization (the US state) known to man. On January 26th it was reported that &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://news.antiwar.com/2009/01/23/business-as-usual-in-us-drone-attacks-kill-20/"&gt;Obama ordered an attack in Pakistan that murdered 4 children!&lt;/a&gt; These murders took place &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;during&lt;/span&gt; the 11-day period that was used to evaluate his merits for the peace prize. How the hell do any of these actions even imply promoting peace? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. King suffered all sorts of attacks, jail time, insults, death threats (and worse) before he was honored with the Nobel peace prize. I guess the Nobel committee and their prize is not worth a damn anymore!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11178326-3559837578513773126?l=www.chicotown.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/3559837578513773126/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=3559837578513773126&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/3559837578513773126'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/3559837578513773126'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2009/10/wtf-obamas-peace-prize-aint-shit.html' title='WTF?

While he had never heard of the show he interestingly clued me into the possible origins of the sitcom with the British show &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Steptoe and Son&lt;/span&gt;. The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanford_and_son"&gt;Wikipedia entry for Sanford &amp; Son&lt;/a&gt; confirmed this fact and it led me down memory lane and eventually to this YouTube video of Redd Foxx' final interview. From &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.tvparty.com/mysfoxx3.html"&gt;the article&lt;/a&gt; it seems like Redd's spirit and his will to live were already crushed by the IRS's heavy hand years before his heart-attack killed him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These sad stories reinforce my belief that the economy and society in general would be better off if we abolish the IRS, the income tax and any sort of taxes on productivity and profits. Just imagine if everything you earned you kept, free and clear, there would be thousands of companies moving their factories or headquarters to the USA to take advantage of this sort of freedom. We wouldn't have to destroy an entire generation with this reckless deficit spending, nor the spirits of creative geniuses such as Redd Foxx in the process.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11178326-1762342002231798087?l=www.chicotown.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/1762342002231798087/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=1762342002231798087&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/1762342002231798087'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/1762342002231798087'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2009/08/tourtured-foxx.html' title='Tourtured Foxx'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13124429499592873677'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-1185449482573392268</id><published>2009-08-06T12:40:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-06T13:36:08.935-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='economics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gold'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Federal Reserve'/><title type='text'>A world without the Federal Reserve and paper money</title><content type='html'>The Mogambo Guru &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/daughty/mogambo21.1.html"&gt;has an interesting nugget of truth today&lt;/a&gt; that puts this whole economic mess into perspective. This is pretty much a follow up to my previous article "&lt;a href="http://www.chicotown.com/2008/08/gasoline-prices-havent-changed-in-45.html"&gt;Gasoline Prices Haven't Changed in 45 Years&lt;/a&gt;". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quote below explains how the world has changed since the US stop backing the dollar by gold on Aug 15th 1971. Pay close attention and see if you spot the trend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He compares "How Much things cost on Aug 15th, 1971" to what they cost today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dow Jones Industrial Average 890 or 25 oz. gold in 1971, versus 9,000 or 10 oz. gold today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Average Cost of new house $25,250 or 721 oz. gold in 1971, versus 250,000 or 277 oz. gold today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Average Income per year $10,600 or 302 oz. gold in 1971, versus $70,000 or 77 oz. gold today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Average Monthly Rent $150 or 4.3 oz. of gold in 1971, versus $824 or 1 oz. of gold today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Datsun 1200 Sports Coupe $1,866 or 53 oz. gold in 1971, versus $28,400 or 31 oz. gold today.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main lesson to learn &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/daughty/mogambo21.1.html"&gt;according to the Mogambo Guru&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"If your money is dollars, you live in an inflationary world. If your money is denominated in gold, you live in a deflationary world."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of today, the 30 cents I mentioned in my "Gasoline hasn't changed.." article actually buys you more than one gallon of gasoline, 45+ years later. Whether its gold or silver, if you are shopping and saving in precious metals instead of worthless paper-shit money you will be better off in the long run. Take this advice before this depression gets any worse!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11178326-1185449482573392268?l=www.chicotown.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/1185449482573392268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=1185449482573392268&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/1185449482573392268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/1185449482573392268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2009/08/world-without-federal-reserve-and-paper.html' title='A world without the Federal Reserve and paper money'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13124429499592873677'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-6915117817656923293</id><published>2009-07-01T09:32:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-01T09:34:55.222-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='George W.

During the Bush Crime Family years they were all up in arms about the war in Iraq and they voted against Bush's spending bills. Now that the new emperor is in Rome (Washington D.C.) they bend over backwards to endorse these murderous wars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.house.gov/apps/list/speech/tx14_paul/WarSupp.shtml"&gt;Ron Paul calls it how it is&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;As Americans struggle through the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, this emergency supplemental appropriations bill sends billions of dollars overseas as foreign aid. Included in this appropriation is $660 million for Gaza, $555 million for Israel, $310 million for Egypt, $300 million for Jordan, and $420 million for Mexico. Some $889 million will be sent to the United Nations for “peacekeeping” missions. Almost one billion dollars will be sent overseas to address the global financial crisis outside our borders and nearly $8 billion will be spent to address a “potential pandemic flu.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democrats are ass holes.

These new Republican rats who are joining Ron Paul should be trusted about as far as you can throw them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that the Democrats are a lost cause for not having impeached Bush but don't believe the phony hype surrounding these fascist/socialist Republican ass holes who conveniently have discovered some common sense.

Here's my response to the article "&lt;a href="http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2009/04/10/immigration-can-speed-economic-recovery/"&gt;Immigration can speed economic recovery&lt;/a&gt;":&lt;br /&gt;------------------&lt;br /&gt;Everyone who complains about the COST of keeping immigrants in the US should advocate abolishing all welfare and government-funded social services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone who complains about terrible WAGES and living conditions should advocate abolishing the federal reserve and the criminal inflationary policies of the government. With natural money circulating we will not have massive boom and bust cycles or out-of-control inflation that forces two or more breadwinners to seek income while abandoning the children to the care of the state schools or unsupervised homes. With stable prices and incomes from natural money (not paper money) Americans CAN afford to pick apples or build widgets till their heart is content and keep a decent standard of living while they are at it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the day immigration is basically about employment, therefore only individual employers/companies should be in charge of hiring anyone they want - immigrant or local. The Feds will never know the appropriate number of immigrants to allow or deny from entry. Only individual companies in each individual community/city can allocate that number of workers efficiently. This efficient allocation will keep our economy running at it’s optimal level. Too many or too few immigrants allowed to join our economy will only hurt our productive capacity. It is IMPOSSIBLE for the Feds to every get that number right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there’s no work and no welfare then folks will just have to go home to their native country. If they come and add value to our economy (without committing theft or violence) then they deserve a right to stay.&lt;br /&gt;-----------&lt;br /&gt;Basically my suggestion for Emperor Obama is "stay the hell out of the way, abolish the fed, let the churches and non-profits handle welfare and let us decide our own immigration policy"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11178326-3522657856938548749?l=www.chicotown.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/3522657856938548749/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=3522657856938548749&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/3522657856938548749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/3522657856938548749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2009/04/immigration-solution-for-obama.html' title='An immigration solution for Obama'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13124429499592873677'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-6251594709103872327</id><published>2009-03-26T21:51:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-26T22:00:30.298-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Civil Liberties'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='War on Drugs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hip Hop'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Police State'/><title type='text'>Obama Crime Family hates your liberty!</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IHzKxtwuGzo&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IHzKxtwuGzo&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the same bullshit from the last tyrannical administration.

Lets keep it up! &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/openforquestions/"&gt;Ask your own questions and vote on existing questions over at the white house open forum.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11178326-3890899221922006801?l=www.chicotown.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/3890899221922006801/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=3890899221922006801&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/3890899221922006801'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/3890899221922006801'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2009/03/marijuana-tops-obamas-white-house.html' title='Marijuana tops Obama&apos;s White House!'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13124429499592873677'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11178326.post-3780992962901696720</id><published>2009-03-19T12:00:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-19T12:52:00.115-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Civil Liberties'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='War on Drugs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Constitution'/><title type='text'>Good News from Obama!</title><content type='html'>&lt;img align="right" src="http://www.chicotown.com/pics/chris-rock-defecit.jpg"/&gt; Holy shit! I gotta post the good news for a change because ragging on Obama for being a Bush-cloned-suck-wad gets tiring. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The administration of the holy emperor is going &lt;a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29768068/"&gt;show mercy on medical marijuana dispensaries&lt;/a&gt; who abide by their state laws. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But wait! Obama's thugs are saying that they will leave folks alone who follow their state laws in reference to a particular matter that the US Constitution does not explicitly address? Huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I heard of this concept before....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's called the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;10th Amendment of the Constitution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and it says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should we be praising these rat-bastards for (semi-)following the constitution? It reminds me of a &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Chris Rock&lt;/span&gt; joke where he mentions folks who brag "I take care of my kids!" &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Chris_Rock"&gt;Chris Rock then replies&lt;/a&gt; "You're 'sposed to take care of your kids, what do you want a cookie?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess we can give Obama a cookie... a medicinal weed cookie as a token of our appreciation for leaving peaceful plant-consumers alone! Still, lets enjoy this great news and hope for more to follow.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11178326-3780992962901696720?l=www.chicotown.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/3780992962901696720/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11178326&amp;postID=3780992962901696720&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/3780992962901696720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11178326/posts/default/3780992962901696720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.chicotown.com/2009/03/good-news-from-obama.html' title='Good News from Obama!'/><author><name>chico-towner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06215213139673937178</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13124429499592873677'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
