(11,802 posts)Told you we got married there right? Scored some weed from the bellhop. Twisted one up and started the partakistation. Wife was unpacking wedding dress and shit. "You want in on this babe? " "No, but I could have a Red Stripe." Cool. Finished up smoking half a j and headed down to the bar for beers. Now, I'd had half a j by me self. 3rd floor to elevator. Don't feel nothing. Elevator to 1st floor nothing. Lobby to beach front bar, still nothing! Starting to get pissed. Beginning to wonder if I've been ripped off right? "Gimme 4 Red Stripes". And there it is, that tickle at the base of your skull. By the time I get to the elevator, I'm cheesing! Grinning like an eighth grader after his first joint! Got on the elevator and there's a late 60 something Brit couple. "Beautiful today ain't it?" Full on cheesing. "That it is, that it is. Unfortunately it's rained for the last six days." "Well, it's supposed to be good from here on out." "Yes but we're leaving today." "Oh, that's just terrible, terrible!" says I. With an uncontrollable grin and eyes like Jackie Chan. I don't believe they accepted my sincerity....
In my defense, you say rain and Jamaica, that's where my mind goes....
Was that May or June of that year?

(11,802 posts)And I had short hair at the time. Got off the plane and someone approached me about smoke. 4 hours on a plane I was like hell yes! I need a smoke. Ended up outside and he's, "how much ya need mon?" "How much what?" "Ganja, marijuana, smoke mon!" "Shit brother! Sorry to waste your time, but I ain't even trying to score at an international airport. Is you crazy? What's wrong witchoo? ".
So we get to the resort and you read the last post. Got back to the room with the beers and Mrs. Glamrock decides she wants to wander/checkout the resort. Cool. We're walking along and the guy cutting the grass shuts off the lawnmower, walks up, and "hey mon, I got all the weed you need mon." I'm good brother, but thanks. 50 yards further the guy trimming bushes walks up. "Hey mon, I got all the weed you need mon." Again, I'm good brother, but thank you. We get to the gift shop and there's a guy in there carving wood. "Hey mon, I got coke, marijuana, heroine. Whatever you need mon!" I'm fucking good man! Christ!
Can't imagine how I'd been accosted with my long hair and bell bottoms today!

(10,014 posts)Fortunately, they are both pushing back against Mika's bothsiderism.
They did a great job, in a very small amount of time, to explain how there is no comparison between the parties on the issue - the left has a few conspiracy theorists but the republican conspiracy theorists are running the country and lie on a daily basis.

(2,434 posts)Bush aid tried to say that this was the same as the Clintons. Kurt Andersen shot back very strongly and Rob added to that. Cannot believe they continue to say it's both sides. Who is pushing that agenda? G.E.?

(7,768 posts)What he said was frightening too.
An important point (to me) that he brought up that he says is currently unique, is that we now have what he called "State-Run TV Fox News.
They are constantly pumping out LIES every day to millions of people. It works. It's despicable and in my opinion it's criminal.
In the run up to the Iraq war, there wasn't a State-Run network helping spread the lies of the war criminals, now there is.
It's scary beyond belief how out of control these bastards are.
