Phelphs Pot Probe Postponed

I read this morning that the sherriff investigating the Michael Phelps pot smoking debacle will not be pressing any charges, on Phelps or anyone else at the party.

I also read that Advertising Age is reporting that Subway restaurants are going ahead with plans to use Phelps as their pitchman. I guess America is not quite as obtuse as I thought.

In our Phelps Pot Poll, 100% of respondents thought Phelps pot smoking was no big deal.

Provincial America: How sweet!

Is it just me or is America stuck in a bit of a time warp? Come on people get real and join the rest of the world in the 21st century. Really, who cares about a few college kids and Michael Phelps smoking dope?

It seems the facist pigs, I mean, the Richland County Sheriff's Office have charged two people, the guys who were renting the house where the pot party occurred.

According to one of the lawyers representing one of the accused in the heinous crime, "After they arrested him, they didn't ask him, 'Where did you get the marijuana?' or 'Who sold it to you?' Almost all the questions they asked him were about Michael Phelps."

The lawyers would not name their clients, who each face up to 30 days in jail and a US$200 fine if convicted on the pending charges.

Phelps Pot Pickle

Michael Phelps, the American Olympic swimmer was suspended for three months and Kelloggs also is not renewing his sponsorship deal after pictures surfaced on the internet showing Phelps smoking what looks like a big bong. 

Do you think the swimming authorities overreacted by suspending Phelps for three months? What about Kelloggs?  I noticed on Wikipedia that he was charged with impaired driving at age 19, maybe he has a substance abuse problem in the making?  

What do you think? Take a moment and vote in our new poll at the top right of this page. I should mention that for this poll you may select more than one response.

Apparently our last poll was lame so I ended it early.  And as you might have imagined the vast majority of us have had enough snow!
