A great new study from the Government Accountability Office has a title that doubles as an executive summary:
Gee, I wonder how it ends? And whether Mexican drugs do the jobs that American drugs just don't want to do?

"And whether Mexican drugs do the jobs that American drugs just don't want to do?"Don't bet on it, deary.

Yes, but there are sinister ties between IllegalDrugSmuggling and the MexicanGovernment.J sub D | September 20, 2007, 2:14pm | #
GAO recommends that ONDCP, in conjunction with the U.S. counternarcotics interagency community, coordinate with the government of Mexico before completing the Southwest Border Counternarcotics Strategy’s implementation plan to (1) help ensure Mexico’s cooperation with any initiatives that require it and (2) address the cooperation issues GAO identified. In commenting on a draft of this report, ONDCP concurred with the recommendation.Gosh, I had hoped for a recommedation to end the WOD. One definition of insanity is to continue to do the same thing, while expecting different results.

dhex, Greg - white space is a La Raza conspiracy. They want us to think there's more room here than there actually is.Also, ever notice how much bigger things look after smoking marijuana?

"...Mexican drugs do the jobs that American drugs just don't want to do..."LOL!

J sub D,Are they really expecting different results? Most drug warriors don't care about results only fighting the good fight for the sake of the message. IFTC

But wine is good.
I heard that drugs are bad because they make baby Jesus cry.
Little Baby Jesus, aka Little Pussy Jesus. Grow a pair, lil jeezy.

I heard that drugs are bad because they make baby Jesus cry.When Jesus cries it means he hates you.
I heard it from Mary Kate Olson that Jesus want you to smoke dope because you have better conversations with him. Also wine is cool, but no hard liquor. Oh yeah, and you have to give your virginity to your husband but no restrictions on dry humping.

I apologize for trolling, but I gotta do it:Libertarianism: Reason Magazine Has Helped Promote Freedom, but Tons of Authoritative and Nanny Laws Continue to be Passed in the United States.

poor trolling attempt for two reasons:1) boldface. only works with all caps. boldface is too neat.
2) reason's not a governmental agency. you need some kinda semi-reasonable comparison (har har drink!)

DanT:you have the basics down (trolling chicken soup blog entry), but you lost me on this one - what do you mean?
(or is it like how oh so many positions of certain "conservatarians" default to a socially conservative position?)

Dan T: Trolls provide a voice of dissent on many blogs, but literally tons of vehicles cross bridges every day....unless the government is responsible for maintaining said bridge.

Reason is fond of pointing out that the war on drugs should be ended in part because it has not gotten rid of drugs, but by the same token Reason magazine has not exactly gotten rid of statism.
