Well, at least he's not your insane, reactionary billionaire.

"Phoenix-based Discount Tire Company and its billionaire owner, Bruce Halle, face a growing boycott movement after making a $1 million donation to help defeat Proposition 205, the ballot initiative to legalize recreational use of marijuana in Arizona."
Why on earth would a guy in such a non-political business want to sabotage his brand by setting himself against this? Decriminalization/ legalization has become a movement and he's going to lose bigger than he can imagine. What a dummy!
I can think of 2 reasons:
1. He believes that marijuana is evil.
2. He is concerned that if MJ is legal, then his tire installers will come to work stoned.
He was drunk when he wrote the check?
The plague of Big Pharma haunts efforts to end Prohibition and our spectacularly failed War on
DrugsPeople (h/t to V). Here a great piece on their behind -the-scenes work to keep Prohibition in check. Followed by a very informative 19 minutes by John Oliver on our nation's opiod crisis.http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/cook-political-report-predicts-dems-will-win-up-to-seven-senate-seats

Wasn't he the great, great grandfather of Bob Denver?
San Miguel County ballots were received yesterday. My wife and I voted today. Hope we help turn CD3. Scott Tipton doesn't represent us. He doesn't listen to constituents to his left. He has never been to our county seat even once. He's avoided our (liberal) county commissioners completely. And his office doesn't bother replying to constituent mail. Some ideologues are principled and smart, some are just lazy; Tipton comes across as the latter. C'mon Gail, win one for the future of the western slope!
Best of luck! Wish us luck here in CD6 too!
Don't tell us, get out and talk to your neighbors. Do it today and everyday until about 6:45 PM 11/8
ColPols, I think you missed a good quote:
“Literally, people will seriously say, ‘Can't you delete his Twitter app?’” Conway told CNN’s Dana Bash in an interview broadcast Monday night. “It's not for me to take away a grown man's Twitter account.”

But wait, it gets better:
The Quadrennial Conundrum: Can a Catholic vote for a Democrat? I'll be really glad when this election is behind us if for no other reason than for the drone of 'the end is near if Hillary is elected' from our local priest can end. Perhaps a better question to my overly-conservative parish might be whether being on your knees, asking for protection and guidance during the '08, '12 and (now) '16 elections, which have/are going to deliver a President from the Democratic party with a majority of votes, isn't the answer to your prayers?
I'm anxiously anticipating the Nov. 13 Homily…
Several comments here Michael. I am strongly opposed to having big government; powered up by big religion; attempting to interfere in the private and personal lives of citizens. The Supreme Court issued the Roe and PP v. Casey decisions, in reaction to the efforts of religious groups to control what people do in their bedrooms.
But let us not forget that these decisions aren't the only targets of radical Catholics. The ultimate target of the radical Catholics; like Americans United for Life and American Life League; is to overturn Griswold v. Connecticut. Overall, the bishops need to ponder the fact that the large majority of their flock ignores their directives on human reproduction.
I used to be a Catholic. No longer. Being a free thinker is far better than being brainwashed.
I left the Catholic church 53 years ago. And theism generally. It isn't always easy but agnosticism is the only logical explanation to me of how the world works. Otherwise, explain how an intelligent designer creates donald trump.
The Wray parish is extremely conservative – there are but a handful of us that admit to being Democrats. I've always fallen on the social justice side of the fence. But not for Pope Francis giving the Progressives cover right now, I'd probably be a stranger on Sunday. It's been a long, dry spell. Long live the Jesuits.
Yay Jesuits! I'm a proud Regis U alumni. They require a year of learning about Western and Eastern religious traditions – wish that were a more widespread requirement, as it was very eye-opening for this spiritual mutt. It helped me find a home in the Unitarian church, which embraces all faiths, or lack thereof.
I noticed that Pope Francis has finally made it onto the coveted veladoras saint candle market. My local vendors only carry Benedict, for whatever reason.
Listening to Newt talk about sex is about as uncomfortable as the conversation I had with my 84 yr old aunt about the porn industry condom prop on the ballot in California. "Go work on your anger issues". Well played.
