Insane people speak 1. I never knew that the drug traffickers in Afghanistan had an ambassador (or perhaps she's their girlfriend). What else could explain Ann Coulter's statement: COULTER: But as for catching Usama, it's irrelevant. Things are going swimmingly in Afghanistan. Obviously, she's thrilled about the 40 percent increase in opium cultivation. 2. Katherine Harris (who must be praying for a miracle in her losing Congressional race) said: "God is the one who chooses our rulers." Well I guess there's no point in bothering with our Voting Guide. The merely psychotic are confined to mental institutions, while these two are put on television. It's beyond my understanding. 10:07:26 PM |  drug policy | Links | permalink | comment []

Adweek: GAO: $1 Bil.+ Anti-Drug Effort Ineffective WASHINGTON A Government Accountability Office probe of the White House's anti-drug media campaign has found that the $1 billion-plus spent on the effort so far has not been effective in reducing teen drug use.
