Better Dead Than High

NORML’s blog notes that British researchers have found that cannabis may slow tumor growth and “inhibit the growth of cancer cells.”

An interesting story Radley discusses. However the last sentence is why I’m an advocate for the use of “foul” language (or “fowl” if you’re a duck)

Revising History Through Blogging

At around the same time, part of the rise of the conservative movement inside the Republican Party was the growing prominence of folks like Barry Goldwater who opposed the Civil Rights Act and who found in his 1964 campaign that the main electoral constituency for his brand of conservatism was . . . white supremacists. Other white supremacist politicians (some of whom, unlike Goldwater, would forever remain unrepentant) like Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms moved into the GOP column.

Mathew Yglesias had a recent blog post about racism on the right. I’ll give Yglesias the benefit of the doubt and read his post as one that isn’t calling Barry Goldwater a racist. His choice of wording could easily be misconstrued as to saying Goldwater himself was a white supremacist.

But I still do not believe that Yglesias is making a valid point. I’d be interested to see how he substantiates such as statement or if he’s just another lefty ditto head.

  • I’ve been toying with Io off and on for the past couple of years. Something I always forget about is that if you are building on OS X, try the following command:

    sudo make port

    The port directive to make tells the builder to use port to try and find all relevant libraries/downloads and build them in the process. It will save you a shitload of time trying to find everything you need for a quick, clean build.
