God Bless Willie
Asked about Attorney General Jeff Sessions making a statement that pot was only “slightly less awful” than heroine, Willie came up with a stroke of genius – as Willie often does.
“I wonder if he’s tried both of them,” responded Nelson. “I don’t think you can really make a statement like that unless you tried it all. So I’d like to suggest to Jeff to try it and then let me know later if he thinks he’s still telling the truth!”
Willie also says that all those “Willie Nelson for President” bumper stickers gave him the thought that maybe he would … “I came close a couple times,” he said. “And then I sobered up.”
No, seriously, Willie for President.
Thanks to Carl for the heads up.
Willie is a national treasure. Sessions is a national embarrassment, along with his boss. There is a difference.
At 84, Willie doesn’t exactly offer proof that pot is bad for you. Looks like it furthers a long life. I bet Session’s black heart kills him quicker.
1Never smoked it myself, but from what I hear of the effects, there are a lot of people who should toke some and calm down. The country should not be run by people who are, or act as if they are, snorting cocaine. Or taking hallucinogens….
Advice column in the WashPost today had a letter from a woman who asked how to rein in her daughter who constantly posts and proclaims that her 4-year-old is the most wonderful thing walking on the earth. My first thought was that that kid is going to grow up to be Trump, thinking the sun shines out of his jacksie. When even the grandmother thinks you’re overdoing it, it’s time to cut back.
2Sessions would be a lousy test case, if the parameters are whether pot adversely affects height/growth or cognitive development. Jeff was stunted before hemp became illegal.
3Amen! He would have my vote!
4How about running for gov of TX… He won’t have to move…
5And then when he does it, arrest him.
6Adrian Cronauer summed up our Attorney General Ernie Keebler:
“You are in more dire need of a bj than any white man in history.”
Although a week-end answering the age old question, “What would Willie do” might be just as helpful.
7Legalize pot.
8Outlaw Sessions.
I can’t say about heroin because I never tried it. It scared me. I heard lots of bad stories in college. On the other hand, I certainly do enjoy the sweet weed, though I haven’t had the opportunity for many a moon. Wish it was legal in Minn.
Cheryl and Tilphousia put it perfectly well. Thank you.
9From a post at FB…
So the Republican leadership knew Trump was a paid Russian operative and swore their leadership to secrecy?
10“A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress—House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy—made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016 exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. […]
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.”
Hey, Jeffie … don’t forget to test out a big hit of fentanyl.
