The Devil's Smokescreen

I'm back, you lucky devils. I blame this fact on tomorrow's hangover weather, not on the TODAY show, which had an excellent piece on binge drinking.

My TiVo stopped the spurious recordings soon after I mentioned the problem in this blog, and I have enjoyed (tap - 'participation') it ever since. Does my TiVo read this blog? Maybe.

Montel Williams and I have something in common: a liking for Pot. Montel likes it for its medicinal value. So do I. Pot is the Omnidrug, a sort of hangoverless alcohol. As such, Pot has earned the enmity of the Drug Lobby, not to mention other political interests such as the Christian Fundamentalists who declare that Pot is a sin. Pot is obviously different things to different people. To me Pot is a blessed terminator. I have explained this before but let me do it again. I have found Pot to be an absolutely perfect mate to booze, in the sense that for me it is a kind of dessert, terminating the booze session beautifully, mystically. So I applaud Montel and wish him every success.

Pat Robertson vs Dan Rather (my notes further read) is an interesting facet of the news. Pat was making fun of Rather's troubles today on CBN. Pat is obviously not a fan of the 'liberal media' in general and Dan Rather in particular. But I watch CBS for News, whereas I watch CBN for Laughs, so I can hardly agree with Robertson's critique, though I did find it amusing, as usual.

President Bush was at the UN today snuggling up to Kofi Annan, and making a political speech to America. I found it somewhat incongruent but also amusing. Voltaire would probably have been equally amused.

That ends my notes except for a reference to 'Judeo-Fishiannity.' Problem is, I can't remember what it referred to.

Reading the above I think you can see that my Unconscious prefers, in order, Pot, CBN, Bush, and Epinephelus Itajara (whatever that is). I will go with my Unconscious: tonight's subject is Drugs and Religion. Don't get me wrong: I could hardly do a 'scholarly piece' on this vast subject in one inebriated sitting; I will simply make it the subject for whatever nonsense now follows. But note that my preferences tonight are drugs, religion, and politics, in that order.

I have a small number of books which touch on the subject of drugs and religion, but I have not kept up to date on the subject. So I just did a Google Search for 'entheogen.' The result pointed out my abject lack of theoretical knowlege on this subject. But I do have practical knowlege, which is at least as important. My experience proves to me that God and Drugs are not incompatible. In fact I have argued (in my drog) that drugs - not bibles - are God's primary method of communication with Humanity, and that bibles are actually the Devil's Smokescreen.

I include the Koran in the category of bibles, of course.
