Crosby arrested

David Crosby got busted for gun posession and pot:

The veteran rocker had checked out of the hotel after the Manhattan show, but left behind a piece of luggage, police said. A hotel worker found the luggage Friday and went through it looking for identification and discovered the marijuana, gun and knives and called authorities, police said.

He left his gun, knives and marijauna bag at the hotel? It’s one of those bags you normally want to keep good track of. It’s also just funny that he had a guns, knives and marijuana bag.

“Yo Leon. Toss me the knife, gun, pot bag.” It sounds funny in my head.




A nation trusted him

An article on Walter Cronkite. Two excerpts:

— Jimmy Carter was the smartest president Cronkite met, and the only one who bothered to actually read the lengthy bills passed by Congress. “He knew so much about everything and was not timid about telling you about it.”

— Our arrogant stand in nearly all our diplomatic approaches to the rest of the world with this administration has been such as to deeply embarrass the United States,” declared Cronkite. His sarcasm was quietly withering.

Nowadays, most people seem to remember Jimmy Carter as the bumbling idiot who builds houses.
