A Golden State Win for Pot Smokers: The U.S. Supreme Court — or should we say (cue Jeff Spicoli laugh) “High Court” — rejected appeals from two hold-out counties in Southern California that objected to the state’s 13-year-old medical marijuana law and claimed it should be struck down as violating the federal drug control act. Without comment, the court turned down the pair of appeals. The action probably will clear the way for patients in San Diego and San Bernardino counties to seek county-issued identification cards that show they are eligible to possess and use marijuana.

That’s the law blog of the Wall Street Journal, a serious old media stalwart, calling sick and disabled people “pot smokers” and teasing them with Fast Times at Ridgemont High references. Let’s see how that blurb would’ve read for other disabled people, using the Wall Street Journal’s Law Blog’s respectful tone:
A Golden State Win for Retards: The US Supreme Court sided with the Special Olympics — or should we say (cue Corky) “the short bus 100-yard dash”…
How about a headline for gay marriage:
A Golden State Loss for Queers: The California Supreme Court ruled against gay marriage activists — or should we say (cue Streisand) “fairy-age”…
What about a headline for black people:
A Golden State Loss for Mulattos: The US Supreme Court ruled that a man of both African and Caucasian descent — or should we say (cue Halle Berry) “a Halfrican American”…
No offense intended to gay, black, mentally-challenged people, but I am sick and tired of the endless pot puns that make up what is supposed to be serious reporting from serious news outlets. How hard is it to write:
A Golden State Win for Medical Marijuana Patients: The US Supreme Court reject appeals…
