1. Regardless of who said it first, the evidence is mounting on America becoming a Third World country, and the politicians are either too gutless or brainless to do anything about it.

2. Angry over a "No Fat Girls" policy at a party? Why don't you go to a "Only Fat Girls" party?

3. I'm not sure exactly where "tell-all about horny clowns" fits on my list, but I'm pretty sure it's right below getting a third degree burn. On my cock.

4. Rod Blagojevich will probably make more for being an utter fuckwit this year than I will probably make in my lifetime.

5. The French surrendered an afternoon of swimming to a piece of driftwood. I'd say I give up, but the French might hear me, counter-surrender, and then we'd have the worst stand-off ever. Or until France re-surrenders to me, whichever happens first.

6. If you takeaway anything from tonight's show, take the link to the AlterNet story we covered, and read the whole article. Twice.

I hate dumbass stories about judges getting all cute and creative with the justice system. They can't get shit done half the damn time, and when they do, it's only sentencing some celebrity fuckwit to fifteen minutes of jail time. Then they act like they just cured cancer while saving a busload of centerfold models from certain peril.

No, this isn't some man bites dog moment where his honor sentenced some idiot to stand in front of a mall wearing a sign that proclaims he did, in fact, drop a steamer in the middle of the food court. That's been done more than Snookie after a dollar jello shot special. This one has the potential to become the new world class of stupid.

Nevada District Judge Dave Gamble apparently felt like phoning it in while dealing with a California law firm employee that had been busted for selling a quarter-pound of weed in the parking lot of a Lake Tahoe casino. Judge Gamble sentenced Matthew Palazzolo to write, within 90 days, a report on the "nonsensical character" of California's medical marijuana law.

Cute. A book report to get out of jail. While I can't say anything about a light sentence for a non-violent drug offense, I'm not so sure about this as an alternative. Is the judge going to grade it, or will his lazy ass just look at five or six stapled pages and figure that's good enough? Not to mention, what the fuck does it matter to a small-time Nevada judge what the law is in California, unless somebody is looking into making a little sideline money with a dispensary. I'm just saying.

Even more questionable, the paper is also supposed to touch on Palazzolo's realization that marijuana led him to use more powerful narcotics. What? This guy works for a law firm, and that weakass "gateway drug" bullshit is the best he had going into court? And he got away with it, with just a book report? Whatever the hell law firm this Palazzolo guy works for better give him a raise for skating like that...just so long as they don't drug test him, apparently.

Takeaways from Episode #156 of Probably Uncalled For...

-Apparently, the city of San Francisco not only hates small business, but it's not too fond of the handicapped.

-The Federal government needs to worry about fixing the educational system in this country rather than holding a school's funding hostage because some idiot freshman just had to download the new Radiohead album.

-With House Resolution 1553 running amok through Congress, you kind of have to wonder how many fights the U.S is willing to get into or instigate from the sidelines to keep justifying a runaway military budget.

-The fact a robber called a Wendy's back twice after robbing it to complain about his take just tells me it's a 3-1 bet that joint's getting hit again in a month or so.

It is not very often (read: rarely at best) that I find myself in agreement with talk radio colleague Michael Savage, but one thing I can completely agree on with Dr. Savage is his notion that the city of San Francisco has completely lost its fucking mind. Case in point- the ongoing battle between Greg Schoepp and the Mayor's Office of Disability.

Schoepp, who has been in a wheelchair for 30 years since being shot by a home invader (remember the good old days when we could still call them burglars?), is in the process of opening a medicinal marijuana dispensary, has run smack dab into the gears of a city powered by dumbassery.

The property that Schoepp is renting is a former chiropractor's office. The issue? The city is making Schoepp roll through miles of red tape, and for no reason other than to handicap a legal business from opening its doors. In its role as a chiropractic practice, the building at 2139 Taraval Street passed all the access tests conducted by the Department of Building Inspection. That was all well and good, but a medicinal marijuana dispensary? Time for the second set of rules.

Unlike any other business in the whole of San Francisco, medicinal marijuana dispensaries do not go through the Department of Building Inspection, but the Mayor's Office of Disability. Guess which office has more stringent access rules? Yep, the MOD. Guess which office wants to require Schoepp to not only build a seven foot tunnel/entryway at the front door (and that's AFTER requiring him to level the sidewalk out front)? Yep, the MOD. Given the way this seems to be leading, guess which office is probably going to make Schoepp hang in limbo for the next year or so as he makes his way through the appeals process? You guessed it- the MOD. I would give the winners a cigar, but I just don't feel like filling out the mountain-like molehill of forms San Francisco probably requires just for that.

Proposition 215 may have won over the voters' hearts in California, but typically, it has quickly degenerated into the same, tired, run-of-the-mill excuse for even more government, as ham-fisted and unnecessary as one has come to expect all too often in this country anymore. A budget-strapped state such as California does itself no favor making it more trouble to open a business than it is realistically worth. I will not even begin to touch on the irony that the lady responsible for this boondoggle, Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier, is a wheelchair user herself. I wonder if the ramp she uses to get on her high horse is up to specs.

As a final thought, I almost want to tell Schoepp to say hell with it, cut his losses, round up some day laborers, have them make all the modifications, and quite possibly even physically carry the customers through the front freakin' door. Knowing this guy's luck, while he would no doubt score points with La Raza, he would also wind up being those rarest of birds - a business owner actually busted for employing undocumented workers.
