Living With A Drug Dealer College Roommate

He had put me through hell my freshman year. He went from a casual user, to a dealer, to a completely dependent addict and near convict in less than a year. And I had front row seats to the whole episode. D.A.R.E. can never give you an education like that. [College Magazine]

Andrew Jackson U. Offers ECON 101 Free To Congress Members

The bailout exposed a fact most watchdogs already knew about Congress — it ain’t the London School of Economics.

So, the president of Andrew Jackson University, a small online school based in Birmingham, is jumping into this miasma of ignorance to offer a free online course in Econ 101 to members of Congress. This after a thumbnail survey found that eight of 10 had no formal training in economics. [Politico]

Student Arrested For Indecent Exposure Cites TV Show Prank

A Miramar High School student who exposed himself to a teacher said he was just reenacting a “funny prank” he saw on “That 70’s Show,” authorities said.

The teacher didn’t think it was funny. Neither did police, who arrested the student for indecent exposure, according to documents released Tuesday. See what he did… [Sun Sentinel]

In fifth grade, I vowed to say No to Drugs. More correctly, I was forced to say “No”, or I would not be allowed to walk the stage at fifth grade graduation (which would have been social suicide).

So I did, and my little, naive fifth grade self truly believed that I would never take a shot of tequila, smoke a joint and I was absolutely never going to eat a fungus that grows on cow sh!@#t. Ever.

Let’s just say, without giving too much away, that my fifth grade self would probably be a little disappointed in my 21-year old self. Woops!

However, up until this point, whatever drugs I did choose to poison and/or pleasure my body with (depending on how you look at the situation), I always thought I had full control of when/where/how they were getting in my system. I was wrong.

An Associated Press investigation that spanned a five-month period found that 24 major metropolitan areas have drugs in their drinking water. Yes, the stuff that everyone claims is safe to drink and/or at least okay to use to wash our hands and rinse our mouths with after brushing. Well, it’s also teeming with a large range of prescribed and over-the-counter drugs – from sex hormones in San Fran to over 56 different types of pharmaceuticals and their byproducts in Philly.

Disgusted yet? It gets worse. (more…)

The Morning Show’s Mike and Juliet totally have their fingers on the pulse of young America as evidenced by their latest buzzworthy topic, “Drunkorexia.”

Drunkorexia (also known as “drunk-arexia”; take your pick) is the name of a media-approved epidemic that describes the daily behavior of every well-adjusted girl in college that doesn’t still shop at the Disney Store for XL sweatshirts sporting Pluto and Goofy. Thirty percent of women between the ages of 18 -23 curb their daily food intake in order to drink their meals.

Tastes great, less filling. (more…)

Cute, college-aged girls? Check.

$10,000 dare to strip on the subway? Check.

YouTube video of the whole shebang? I thought you would never ask:

The “Pole-ite” girls (real names Laura Lee Anderson, Jessica Wu, Marissa Lupp and Isis Masoud) gave bystanders quite the show earlier this year, dancing, stripping, grinding and gyrating around the grimiest of locations: the New York City subway system.

Needless to say, the fearless foursome won the $10,000 prize from DareJunkies.com.

The MTA isn’t very happy about the attention this dare has garnered. From UPI:

“The last thing we want is for anyone to turn our subways into roving burlesque stages for crude exhibitionists,” said NYC Transit spokesman Paul Fleuranges. “While the rules don’t specifically state lap or pole dancing–what is depicted here is disorderly conduct.”

I’m not sure what planet Mr. Fleuranges is from, but I don’t know any man, woman or child who would have a problem with a roving burlesque show free of charge. More importantly the dare was done all in good fun – and $10,000! Not much is better than cute girls with great personalities, wildly free of any inhibitions, dancing around for the enjoyment of the people. They deserve a Gentleman’s boner.

Cops, man. Always ruining our crazy, college fun – pulling us over on road trips, breaking up the parties, arresting our friends. Why, because we break the law and do illegal things? Pshhaa, whatever.Like NWA said, eff the police, right?!?

Right! There are in fact, many ways around the law, especially when it comes to doing the things we all know we do and we all know we enjoy doing – like smoking “doobiesâ€? (as I like to call them,) or eating pot brownies, or driving with naughty things in the car, or letting your friends pull you across the highway while you’re attached to a couch…..okay, that one’s just stupid and if you do this, you should definitely be arrested. Radar Online has an awesomely insightful look into the ins and outs of what to do and what not to do in order to escape and avoid the law altogether – written by Barry Cooper, an EX COP AND HEAD AGENT OF NARCOTICS for eight years in Texas!!!! What a kick ass guy!!!!

Cooper wrote the article because, he said, “The war on drugs is an utterly losing proposition. We caused more harm breaking up families to put non-violent drug offenders in jail than the drugs ever did. And for what? To eradicate 1/10th of a percent of drugs on the street.â€? (more…)
