Attorney General Holder Legalizes Marijuana *

Washington, D.C. – Attorney General Eric Holder announced today that marijuana would be made legal once again under federal law. When questioned on this surprise action, Mr. Holder said

“It is imperative that we do this while President Obama is out of the country. Plus I’m holding, so there’s that too.”

Calls to the White House for a response from spokesman Robert Gibbs were initially not returned. When Gibbs was finally reached he giggled,

“Sorry, kept dropping the damn phone. Um, yes, what what’s his name … damn … Holder! That’s it, Holder. Yeah, that’s totally cool with us here. Anyway, that made making a change to a portion of the White House garden a priority. And you should see the clones we planted at the National Arbouretum. It’s gonna be swee …”.

The call (or phone) dropped again at his point.

Confirmation calls have been placed to President Obama who is in London for the G20 meetings with world leaders discussing the dire world financial situation.
