Spare weed, man?

~ Patrick O'Grady ~ 5 Comments

A federal District Court judge in Denver has sided with the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, issuing a preliminary injunction that prevents Bibleburg from enforcing its “no-solicitation zone” (read: downtown anti-begging ordinance) pending further legal tomfoolery.

Meanwhile, El Paso County has given initial approval to an ordinance that would ban recreational marijuana businesses in unincorporated areas of the county.

So, does this mean we have a First Amendment right to beg for weed downtown? I’m so confused.

Cinéma not-so vérité

It’s alive!

There goes the (Hyborian) neighborhood: It seems the 65-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger plans to reprise his role as Conan the Barbarian in “The Legend of Conan,” another sword-and-sorcery epic scheduled for release in 2014.

There is probably no truth to the rumor that the Governator is simultaneously working on a monster movie set in the gritty world of professional cycling. Said to have the working title “Frankenhein,” it stars Woody Harrelson as Lance Armstrong, Schwarzenegger as Hein Verbruggen and a gray-flannel bag of bullshit as Pat McQuaid.
