40+ people, a good portion Keeniacs, gathered in Manchester’s Victory Park today to hold a 4:20 cannabis celebration mid-winter in honor of Big Mike. He was arrested for brushing up against an MPD undercover officer. Big Mike has been imprisoned until the trial in April because he’s using his so-called right to remain silent and refusing to give up his name. Our blogger Sam was imprisoned for 58 days for the same thing last year. Disobey, and you stay in their cage.
Here’s BikerBill‘s excellent coverage of the events in the park. Hopefully someone else got footage of the entire MPD being called out later on at the jail…
I think someone may have suggested the notion of having an Invisible Hand of the Market character opposing the Iron Fist of the State but if so, I no longer recall who. I apologize for not crediting you, if so.
My new computer had a faulty motherboard which I had to send back. The replacement arrived Monday and I finally got a chance to reassemble the computer including prying the CPU off the heat sink, cleaning all the gook off it, and putting new gook on it (to conduct heat). I hate that there was such a long delay between comics. There is more work to do on it, but at least it’s functional enough to make comics for now.
Australia government mandates R-rated movies be covered up, Jesus guns, UK warns citizens not to shovel public sidewalks for fear of lawsuits, and public marijuana polls shows vastly increasing support for reform laws.
THIS ORGANIZATION IS IN DISORGANIZATION

Free State freedom activists look pompously askance
At anyone suggesting planning projects in advance.
Protests limp along not with a bang, but with the whimp’r of
A group of high school kids making impromptu tries at improv.
Headaches, itching, nosebleeds, palpitations, sweats, and trembling
Are side effects of any course of action but assembling
Slapdashedly together at the last remaining minute.
It’s messy, muddled madness with no trace of method in it.
Many activists are known to faint or throw up
At the proffer of polite entreaties to show up.
One fact’s irrefutable from careful observation:
This organization is in disorganization!
Freedom-lovers focus on life’s joys and how to get them —
Not in crafting tactics to persuade the State to let them.
Dealing with the State’s inane — sane folks don’t manage well with it,
The rational reaction is to simply say the hell with it. (more…)
On a recent layover in Detroit, I was filming roaming squads of TSA agents searching passengers at the gates. I didn’t feel like answering their questions, and their response was, well, see for youself . . .
