N O R T H A M P T O N, Mass. — Why do criminals launder their money? So it doesn't smell like marijuana, apparently. When Nikita Santor was arrested on drug charges, her parents were good enough to try to bail her out. The only problem, police said, was that they brought the $50,000 in rolled up wads of $20 bills that smelled strongly of drugs. Police confiscated the money and Santor remains in jail. Santor was first arrested on Dec. 18, when she and a companion, Michael Lenahan, were pulled over in their 1997 purple Dodge Intrepid for following another vehicle too closely, police said. State Trooper Michael McCammon "detected the odor of marijuana emitting from the…

Air Force report, Majs. Harry Schmidt and William Umbach were flying F-16s toward their base after six hours of an uneventful mission when they spotted gunfire on the ground and reported it to flight controllers. One of the pilots requested permission to fire, but was told to wait. Seconds later, Schmidt reported surface-to-air fire and advised the flight controllers that he was going to "roll in," or attack the shooters. Umbach confirmed the sighting, adding, according to the report, "I've got some men on a road, and it looks like a piece of artillery firing at us." The bomb released by Schmidt landed a few feet from a Canadian machine gun crew, killing Sgt. Marc Leger…

Licking toads will not give you warts or produce a fairy prince, but it might get you high. It isn't exactly an epidemic, but the Drug Enforcement Administration says toad licking is the latest way to hallucinate. "It sounds like a fairy tale gone wrong, doesn't it?" said Robert K. Sager, chief of the DEA's laboratory in San Francisco. "Now, I don't think this is going to be a great problem because people don't go around licking toads as a habit." The culprit: the Cane toad. "They're beautiful toads," Sager Said. "People like them." The Cane toad, which can grow to the size of a dinner plate, produces a toxin called bufotenine, which the toad secretes to ward off predator…

New Orleans -- A lawyer for one of two U.S. pilots who dropped a bomb killing four Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan last April says the U.S. air force had pressured the pilots to take amphetamines that may have impaired their judgment during the mission. Majs. Harry Schmidt and William Umbach face a possible court-martial for dropping the laser- guided bomb near Kandahar on April 18. A U.S. air force investigation determined the pilots ``demonstrated poor airmanship" and ignored standard procedure by not making sure there were no allied troops in the area. But Umbach's lawyer, David Beck, said he will prove at a Jan. 13 hearing on whether to court-martial the pilots …

I was wondering what your opinions were regarding playing World Cup matches in Zimbabwe. There are a couple of different questions.... Should the ICC and/or the ACB do as the politicians ask and officially pull out of matches scheduled to be played in Zimbabwe? Do the various governments asking the cricket boards to boycott matches scheduled in Zimbabwe have a right to ask for a boycott when collectively or induvidually, they have not politically or economically sanctioned Zimbabwe? Should the various governments politically or economically sanction Zimbabwe? If the goverments did sanction Zimbabwe should the various cricket boards boycott matches scheduled in Z…

MARIJUANA STATE The Marijuana Market Is Currently Innovative, Competitive, Efficient And Free. Decriminalizing It Will Make It An Overregulated Government Oligopoly. Decriminalizing marijuana will mean taking a currently unregulated -- if illegal -- activity that has developed a sophisticated supply chain and inexorably bringing it under the ambit of the post-modern administrative state. Government means, at minimum, taxation. Revenue Canada will scoop each economic gain, and then some, won by gradually erasing the risk premium associated with the criminal marijuana industry. Look at the tax rate on tobacco, alcohol or gasoline. Once cannabis is just another state-…
