Weekly: Blogging @ the Speakeasy

Submitted by David Borden on (Issue #490)

Along with our weekly in-depth Chronicle reporting, DRCNet has since late summer also been providing daily content in the way of blogging in the Stop the Drug War Speakeasy, as well as Latest News links (upper right-hand corner of most web pages), event listings (lower right-hand corner) and other info. Check out DRCNet every day to stay on top of the drug reform game!

This week:

Scott Morgan -- who seems to be attracting a growing fan base among our readership -- brings us "New ONDCP Video Demonstrates Exactly Why Their Ads Don't Work," "Bruce Willis Finally Figures it Out," "ONDCP Staffer Makes Threatening Phone Call to SSDP Office," "Airport Narcs Fired For Peeing on Luggage" and "Oops, Wrong House. Sorry We Threw Grenades and Kicked You in the Crotch."

Phil Smith contributes "Latest Entry in the Annals of Excess Department," "Mexico is Bleeding" and "Why do we let cops be our 'drug experts'?"

David Borden discusses "Did John Belushi die from cocaine?," "Police deliberately crash truck into car, and then steal car -- in order to search it," "Crack Cocaine Sentencing Headed to Supreme Court" and "'Snow Fall' Atlantic Monthly article articulates the sheer futility of the supply-side drug war," plus various short blurbs and links.

David Guard has been busy too, posting a plethora of press releases, action alerts, job listings and other interesting items reposted from many allied organizations around the world in our "In the Trenches" activist feed.

Please join us in the Reader Blogs too -- your participation is encouraged.

Thanks for reading, and writing...
