A humorous-yet-pragmatic take on the conviction of Tommy Chong over at Herohill.com.

What blows my mind wide open is that this government sting operation cost tax payers 12 MILLON DOLLARS.

12 million dollars to arrest Chong for selling glass pipes. I’m pretty sure Chong probably sleeps on a bed made of pot, and he was selling glass pipes under the company name, Chong Glass. Does it really cost 12 million to sting him? I don’t think it would have cost 12 million to get Sting himself to sting him (and we all know that sting would be tantric).

Go on and read the whole thing. It’s all funny, but, as you know, it wouldn’t be up here if it weren’t also apt. The United States’ War on Drugs is both bloody and costly. Make no mistake, it is a full out firing war, and it’s costing us billions.
