| 2010-11-27 |
| A US Border Patrol spokesman says country singer Willie Nelson was charged with marijuana possession after 6 ounces was found aboard his tour bus in Texas. Patrol spokesman Bill Brooks says the bus pulled into the Sierra Blanca, Texas, checkpoint about 9am Friday. Brooks says an officer smelled pot when a door was opened and a search turned up marijuana. Brooks says the Hudspeth County sheriff was contacted and Nelson was among three people arrested. |

| #5 Sometimes you gotta run a hard line Spook, sometimes its just a diversion. Two/three hours of lost time to 'clean' a band bus? What else might that crew have uncovered? |

| #3 I remember when Tommy Chong was busted, because his chain of head shops were selling "illegal" marijuana smoking appliances, just like every other head shop in the country, and the feds wanted to set an example. Having a search warrant to look for marijuana appliances at his house, the federal agent noticed a substantial pile of cut marijuana sitting on his coffee table. So he asked, "Is that marijuana?" Tommy Chong looked at him derisively and said, "I am Tommy Chong. Are you kidding?", or words to that effect. It was later said that when he was sent to prison for six months, he got more respect than a Mafia Don. They all stayed on their best behavior, so there would be no excuse for the authorities to crack down on him. |

| #1 In other news, the sky is generally blue, and the sun came up in the east again. Willie Nelson is one dumb sonuvabitch. |
