Warhol

What do you think about Andy Warhol? What about his art? Those are entirely different questions, I know. However, for some reason he's come up twice in the last week for me, so I thought I'd throw it out there to the kids. I've always been fascinated by him and by his art. What an interesting life. Plus, I wouldn't mind hitting up Studio 54 in 1979. Sigh. Anyway, here are two of my favorites for your viewing pleasure.

The War on Drugs

As one who is critical of the "War on Drugs", I was interested to read this article in Rolling Stone about the cost ($500 billion) and likelihood for success (none). Personally, I don't believe in outlawing many drugs, and I am adamantly against the scare tactics that are often used in the "war". Obviously, drug and alcohol addicitons are real, dangerous diseases. However, putting people with an addiction, a medical condition, in jail is ridiculous. What do you think?
