Whiskey with Mason
Hits 1 through 6: Can be found by following this link.
Hit 7: Politics in America has gone haywire. Russ Feingold criticizes the government's invasion of our privacy and gets branded a flaming liberal. Bill Clinton shrinks the government and balances the budget and gets called a communist. And the conservatives at the Independence Institute are trumpeting marijuana reform.
Hit 8: Hold the phone. Maybe that last one makes sense. After all, decriminalizing marijuana would save Colorado somewhere around $60 million a year. And legalizing it could bring in something like $90 million in revenue. And it would get the government out of the lives of thousands of otherwise law abiding citizens.
Hit 9: Last night, Mason Tvert of SAFER was our guest at Drinking Liberally. And I will never get over the fact that I am continually drinking in front of the guy whose major strategy is to illustrate that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol.
Hit 10: We were also joined by CD7 candidate Herb Rubenstein, who has a spiffy new website up. And CD6 candidate Bill Winter, who seemed very relaxed after all the drama that surrounded his campaign yesterday.
Hit 11: The best line of the evening actually belonged to Kathryn of the Peggy Lamm campaign. I told her my baby is due on the Fourth of July. Without missing a beat she replied, "Oh, your Lack of Independence Day." Good stuff.
Hit 12: Mason said that SAFER's campaign is less about winning elections than it is about educating the people. If you really want to get educated, you can read TBTH's detailed report of the evening.
