1ST paragraphin my previous post should have read: Be careful about what you say in the studio - it might end up here! This is stuff that was really said and it all came out in complete sincerity with a straight face. =========================================================== Wednesday November 4 5:07 PM EDT Ex-con elected D.A. in California's 'pot' country UKIAH, Calif. (Reuters) - An ex-convict has been elected the District Attorney of northern California's Mendocino County, becoming the top law enforcement official in a region famous for its hefty marijuana crop. Norman Vroman, a lawyer who served nine months in federal prison for failing to pay income taxes and twice filed for bankruptcy, defeated 12-year incumbent Susan Massini by 52 to 48 percent of the vote. ''I'm very gratified in the trust and confidence that the voters of Mendocino County have given me,'' Vroman told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, which reported his victory Wednesday. Vroman, who campaigned as a pro-marijuana ''tax rebel,'' urged voters to overlook both his prison record and financial woes. He pledged in return ''not to betray them or violate their trust.'' Mendocino County, a largely rural area about 100 miles north of San Francisco known as a haven for free-thinkers and cannabis farmers, also got a new, pro-marijuana sheriff Tuesday when Lt. Tony Craver beat Lt. Phil Pintane, the Press Democrat reported. Craver campaigned with Vroman, and both men support the decriminalization of marijuana.

"Baby, " he protested, "if I told you, you'd throw a fit." Kim promised she wouldn't get angry, and convinced her hubby to tell her. "Okay," he said, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven - then there's you - nine, ten, 11, 12, 13....." ========================================================== Q.
