Willie Nelson's tour bus was pulled over this weekend and police found a pound and a half of pot and some mushrooms. 73 year old Willie and several passengers (including a 79 year old man) were arrested and cited. 73 and 79 - they should be high fived and not arrested. I hope I'm still a rebel (many may claim that I no longer am and maybe never was) when I'm that old. I wonder if at that age you eat more (in brownies for example) to benefit from the fibre.
I can just imagine the conversations. "Bummer! Bad case of the munchies and I can't find my teeth. Where's the blender." "Dude. Where's my walker." Rock on Willie.

Smokin Dope with Mom
A woman in the US pled guilty to charges that she smoked dope with her 13 year old son as a reward - for things like finishing his homework. Geez, times have changed. When I was 13 I got an allowance and to go out at night if I did my homework and some domestic chores. I expect that if I got caught smoking dope I'd have gotten in trouble (in fact I did but I was a bit older). I expect that I would have worked a bit harder at math and guitar practice if Mom and I had sat down for a joint and some Doritos when I finished. Then again maybe not.
What is she thinking? Pot for homework. Meth for a good test? A case of beer for a nice report card. A hooker for graduation? A whole new incentive model. hey it might work.

Condi Rolls Up the Rim
There are pictures all over the news of Condoleeza Rice, the US Secreatary of State, joining Foreign Minister Peter "No Merger" McKay at a Tim Hortons this morning. The quintesential Canadian experience.
No word on whether Condi thought she could roll up the rim to win the war:
1) on terror
2) in Afganistan
3) to hold onto the Senate and the House in November.
Clearly she was disappointed that the promotion hadn't started yet so all she got was a large regular and a box of Timbits.

Suri You Jest
Maybe I'm just jealous but isn't it just a bit ridiculous that Suri Cruise is getting so much attention? Aren't the daily newpaper articles and talk show mentions for an infant Suri Cruise a bit of overkill. Here is even gets a For Rant mention. Her only claim to fame is that she's the newborn daughter of the increasingly creepy Tom Cruise.
STOP IT!!! I promise this is the last you'll hear of it from me. I mostly just wanted to use the clever headline.

Naked Drive Through
I've never played organized football. I think, though, that coaches preach discipline and good decisions. A Detroit Lions coach is going to have to re-establish his credibility with the team and the fans.
Its bad enough that he was arrested for drinking and driving a couple of weeks ago. This week though he set himself apart from even Mel the anti-semite. He was arrested for driving around naked. The really silly part of it is that he got caught because he drove through the Wendy's drive through. You've got to be either dumb or really pissed (or some combination of both) to go through a drive thru naked and not expect anyone to notice. Where will you put your change? I simply can't imagine being drunk enough get naked and drive to Wendy's. Perhaps he should consider rehab. Maybe Paris Hilton will drive him out for a burger.

Take a Taxi - You can Afford it.
It sure seems as though we're hearing more and more about celebrities getting caught drinking and driving. These people have publicists, body guards, entourages and various other hangers on - doesn't someone have the brains or guts (or both) to tell them not to drive away? Don't they have a driver/chauffeur? No cash for a taxi?
Mel Gibson got pissed and decided to go cruising. Hey we've all been pissed. But cabs are usually available. He made a bad decision and then got busted. OK that's not happened to me but I can see how it might happen. BUT, screaming obscenities and blaming it all on Jews seems a tad over the top. Maybe Mel was really pissed (even more scary) but somewhere in that thick skull an alarm must be going off -"Hey you're famous and you're pissed - don't say anything stupid." Tighten the filter a bit if "It's all the f&&%%ng Jews fault." is making it through. I feel no pity. Its just stupid and if it wasn't Mel the guy would be in even more trouble.
Paris felt a bit peckish the other night (she hadn't eaten all day) and goes out for late night drive through. He I did that when I was in my early 20's too (just to be clear though I didn't make sex videos that ended up on the web). But Paris - hey maybe you get pissed easily. Maybe you're just a crappy driver. Maybe you were masturbating on the way. Whatever. You got busted and failed a sobriety test - likely an IQ test too but that's another issue. The celebrity whose only claim to fame is fame is now complaining about the attention. Paris - take a cab (it leaves one hand free for the cell phone and the other for whatever you need it for) or order delivery.
Folks. Call a cab or just let a groupie take you home.

Athletes and fighting
There is always much debate and some handwringing in discussions of fighting in hockey. I am not a big fan of hockey fights but at least these guys can fight. Too many other athletes embarass themselves when they get into it on the field.
A recent case in Indy Racing League is a perfect example. I expect that as good young Canadian lads, both Alex Tagliani and Paul Tracy laced up skates at some point. They likely weren't in any hockey fights though. Paul Tracy pulled a bonehead move on the track recently and Alex took exception. They argued and ended up in a scuffle. It was horrible to watch. They ended up flailing at each other like girls (with apologies to girls who can actually fight). Two men doing the windmill at each other while wearing helmets is just embarassing.
Basketball players are horrible at it too. And they are the master of the cheap shot. They should, however,stick to the cheap stuff. When they get into a confrontation and start throwing punches it looks like tall skinny guys waving their arms at each other.
They really shouldn't fight in the first place. However, if they choose to fight then don't embarass themselves. Have a real fight.
