rachael ray, the tooth-achy sweet food network brand & cooking show host that ironically can’t actually cook seems to have a dark side - she’s an islamic sympathizer & terrorist wanting to usher in the next jihad. crazy! how is that possible? and how was this revealed? apparently from the traditional outlet for declaring jihad: a dunkin’ donuts commercial where rachael ray wore what appeared to be a keffiyeh. and because the scarf rachael ray wore looked like a keffiyeh, conservative & right wing groups desperate for attention (could also be the ultra-paranoid & fashion-sense impaired groups desperate for attention) were of course insulted and so justly protested. and to avoid controversy, dunkin donuts pulled the ad. first: that’s not a keffiyeh. it’s a scarf. second: keffiyehs looks cool. they do. get over it (if you even need to). third: the visual of a keffiyeh has been scientifically proven to make people want to eat lots of donuts (bad move to pull the ad dunkin!). so everyone loses here, except rachael ray, who may have gained some level of ‘edge’ over the whole thing.

i just read this story titled drug czar gives warning: federal official calls marijuana growers dangerous terrorists. terrorists? i have to do a double take on the use of the word ‘terrorists’. really? are you serious? yes, i guess you are. John P. Walters, the director of National Drug Control Policy in the US states is noted as saying ‘the people who plant and tend the gardens are terrorists who wouldn’t hesitate to help other terrorists get into the country with the aim of causing mass casualties.‘ wow. that is pretty heavy. so marijuana growers are classified as terrorists? i have yet to see any pot growers bomb embassies or fly planes into buildings. but he must know what he’s talking about. Mr. Walters, directing a message at marijuana smokers & users, is also quoted as saying “Don’t buy drugs. They fund violence and terror.” really? okay. i agree on that - funding violence and terror is a bad thing.
hey, speaking of funding violence and terror and the war on drugs, did you know that in may of 2001 the united states gave $43 million dollars to the Taliban government in afghanistan for declaring the cultivation of opium poppies illegal? yes. with US tax dollars that could have gone to any number of domestic policy issues, the bush administration gave $43 million dollars in funding to the Taliban regime. nevermind that, at that time, the Taliban government was giving sanctuary to Osama bin Laden (wanted then for the 1998 bombing of the US embassies in Africa), the Taliban government was providing a base of operations for the al-Qaeda network, the Taliban government was known for committing massive human rights violations, or that the opium ban was never enforced and was actually used by the Taliban to drive up opium prices and raise more money (brilliant marketing move though).
“Don’t buy drugs. They fund violence and terror.” i love the irony of our federal government. really. it’s fantastic! take the profit out of pot and legalize marijuana already. this war on drugs is just idiotic.
