Hey California -

Just to clear up any confusion, the Ariana Huffington event I am performing at tonite is just that - a performance. Although I kinda like her and *some* of her ideas are good, I am fully in support of Libertarian Ned Roscoe.

If you have any doubts, check out www.smokersparty.com .

It's not just about bullshit smoking laws, but about individual freedom all around.

Also, I'll be doing another benefit Monday, September 22 at the Comedy Store in LA. Here's the info.

LAUGHING MATTERS FOR THE SERIOUSLY ILL

The D.E.A. are raiding compassion clubs, arresting and harassing people who sell glassware and pipes, (even Tommy Chong isn’t immune; he just got 9 months in federal prison and a $20,000 fine) and throwing innocent Americans into prison for following State law that allows them the right to medical marijuana.

This is happening even though the D.E.A.’s own top law judge, Francis L. Young ruled in 1988 that “marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man.” Visithttp://www.druglibrary.org/olsen/MEDICAL/YOUNG/young.html for the transcript of his final report.

On Monday, September 22nd, 2003, The Comedy Store (8433 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles) is the place to be for a hilarious night of comedy, featuring Doug Stanhope of ‘THE MAN SHOW’ and other very special guests. And I’ll tell you one thing…you haven’t seen live comedy until you’ve seen Doug Stanhope live! He’s that good! No kidding!

Just added to the bill…Kerry Talmage. How many strong headliners do you know who are diabetic, a cancer and heart attack survivor and a kidney transplant recipient? Didn’t think so!

Tickets are $20 and available at the door, cash only or $10, cash only, with a valid NORML membership card or a valid compassion club membership card. (NORML will have a booth selling discounted annual memberships). Proceeds from the event will assist inglewoodwc.orgwamm.org and green-aid.org .

Doors open at 7:00 pm and show time is 8:00 pm. The club maintains a two-drink minimum and as such, the event is 21 years and over.
