We have them so drunk in session they can hardly walk, so enthusiastic about stuffing graft in their pockets they need more pocket space, too ashamed of the American flag to stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance and now Sherry Jones wants to sell us some weed ("Plan is to implement safe, effective program," Nov. 30). Makes me all tingly when I think about it, I suppose this is how it will work: "Try this kid, it never killed anybody, it's all natural and it will be legal soon, if Sherry Jones gets her way." So, pot is the only drug that will help sick people. No legal drugs on earth can do the trick. Well, if you buy that one, try this - pot makes you so stupid the voters in the 59th district will likely vote for old Sherry one more time.
