Note to the despicable Dale Franks: Here’s how real men, who know and understand injustice when they see it, stand up to the state.

Later: While I haven’t really the slightest clue of Obama’s personal inner take on the drug war — and I’m filled with foreboding about the whole upcoming mess — if he does grab the presidency and does truly make serious headway in ending the evil war on drugs, I for one will be willing to overlook a whole lot of the other shit he’s going to dump on America (which isn’t going to be easy, but I’ll give it a shot if he really demonstrates a commitment). It seems to me that the drug war would really be his big opportunity to demonstrate statesmanship.
