Hey, did you hear the one about the stoner who got the munchies? Cuz if not, Republican Senate candidate Dino Rossi would like to introduce you to that tired old stereotype. Yesterday, in an attempt to look tough on “wasteful” federal spending, Rossi slammed a government-funded Washington State University study that looks at marijuana’s ability to reduce pain, saying that “this bill isn’t going to stimulate anything other than sales of Cheetos.”Well sir. That’s some mighty fine, lazy stereotypin’ you dun got there Mr. Rossi. But allow me to hook my thumbs around my suspenders like so, rock back on my heels and tell you a story in this folksy way of talkin’ I’ve just now adopted.As the son of a chronic Lyme sufferer who takes a hit of pot every day just so that he can work without crippling nausea, I’d just like to let the record show that my father, tie-dye wearin’ joint smoking draft-dodger that he is, WOULDN’T BE CAUGHT DEAD EATIN’ NO CHEE-TOS. We was born Funyuns men and we’ll die Funyuns men. And I’d appreciate if you wouldn’t forget that fact, thank you very much.
