Willie Nelson is a country music legend with dozens of hit songs either as a writer, performer, or both.  He’s sold millions upon millions of albums, and the Red Headed Stranger is beloved by music fans world wide.  Despite all of his success, there are two things Willie Nelson can’t do.  He can’t pay his taxes, and he can’t stop smoking the reefer.  Over Thanksgiving weekend, Willie Nelson was arrested for possession of marijuana after being stopped by Border Patrol agents in Sierra Blanca, Texas.  A search of Nelson’s bus, Honeysuckle Rose III, revealed 6 ounces of marijuana which Nelson admitted were his.

“It’s kind of surprising, but I mean we treat him like anybody else,” said Hudspeth County sheriff Arvin West.  “He could get 180 days in county jail.  If he does, I’m going to make him cook and clean.”  Said Nelson’s longtime harmonica player, Mickey Raphael, “He (Willie) said he feels great — he lost six ounces.”

Nelson has long been a supporter of decriminalizing marijuana.  Said Willie in 2008, “It’s a matter of time, a matter of education, a matter of people finding out what cannabis, marijuana is for, why it grows out of the ground and why it’s prescribed as one of the greatest stress medicines on the planet.”

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
