“…criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possesion of a few ounces of pot, and that kind of thing, I mean it’s just, it’s costing us a fortune and it’s ruining young people. You people go in to prisons, they go in as youths, and they come out as hardened criminals, and that’s not a good thing.” -Pat Robertson

While the above quote had to be salvaged from repeated words and verbalized pauses, I was shocked, SHOCKED, to hear Evangelist Pat Robertson speaking reasonably about drug policy… or anything, for that matter.

“Czech Transport Minister banned from driving, found driving with phony plates.”

“A man driving a car with Colorado “Respect Life” license plates threw a can at another man’s car and then shot the driver in the road-rage incident, police said.”

Abortion. There. I just said that for search results.

If that doesn’t look good on a resume, I don’t know what does.

This is a real school. http://www.poteau.k12.ok.us/schools.htm

While apparently okay in Hyrule, this would be illegal in Minnesota.

In Anoka County, Minnesota, the following things can get you classified as a vagrant, which is a misdemeanor. Which one of these things is not like the other things? (In English, a vagrant is a homeless person or wanderer.)

  • A person who is found loitering on private groundw without consent of the owner and is unable to account for being there.
  • A prostitute who loiters on the streets or public places to solicit for immoral purposes.
  • A person who derives support in whole or in part from begging.
  • A fortune teller.

A law against being a fortune teller! Could anyone have seen that coming?

To be fair, the fortune teller has to get some sort of “support” from fortune telling to be a vagrant, but that could be a simple service trade or small fee. You can see the whole text of the law here.
