Sorry to be so late, Stashers, but I got caught up doing a lot of research and blogging under my political hat.  See, there was this speech last night that was #2 all-time in ratings for a political convention (somebody else last week scored #1) and I had to address that over at the Blend and the Writ.

It’s 420 Comedy day, and Tere Joyce joins us again.  This time she brings us a twenty-year stand-up vet, Bill Browning of ComedyNation.com, and we have a couple laughs talking about the current political race and, of course, weed!

I’ve also got the first portion of my Marijuana and the Media panel from the Hemposium at the Seattle Hempfest.  Joining me in the discussion are Dominic Holden, a writer for The Stranger and an activist with NORML; David Nott from Reason Magazine; Mason Tvert from SAFER Choice; and our own Steve Bloom from CelebStoner.com (it was my first time meeting Steve face-to-face).

Plus we’ve got some music from Portland’s late lamented Elliott Smith.  Yeah, it’s getting all Portlandy up in this place… because the Portland Hempstalk is just two days away!
