Yesterday, President Obama signed into law a anti-tobacco bill, which will make the distribution of flavored cigarettes illegal. The law is intended to limit tobacco products being “marketed to children”, but this could also signal the end to something any pot smoker holds dear: flavored blunts.

Now, the wording of the bill seems to specifically target “cigarettes,” not cigars or tobacco wraps. But it doesn’t take much to imagine a judge ruling that flavored cigars and tobacco wraps qualify just as much as cigarettes do. And if that happens, it will be a sad day in Pot Town. (more…)

Well, for better or worse, we’ve made it through the first 100 days of the Obama presidency. There’s been a few ups, a few downs and whole hell of a lot of people acting like total douchebags. But regardless of whether or not you think Obama’s first 100 days has been a success, there’s one thing we can all agree on – super hot chicks! So we’ve compiled the loveliest lady from each day of the first 100 days of the Obama presidency to give you Obama’s First 100 Babes!

Happy Presidents Day: A visual index of the POTUS’ Smoking Habits.

We here at COED are big fans of tobacco. Yeah, we know it’s bad for you – really, really bad for you. But it’s good for the soul, damnit. Which is why we were so happy to hear that Barack Obama has been smoking like a chimney over the past couple of months, despite trying to kick the habit at the beginning of his Presidential bid.

Despite claims that the White House will be “smoke free,” we’re hoping he’ll back down on that promise and add himself to the long lineage of tobacco-using US Presidents. Remember, at this nation’s inception, tobacco was one of the biggest cash crops (after hemp, which is a whole other post altogether). And from John Adams to Franklin D. Roosevelt to Bill Clinton, tobacco has had a home in the White House. Here is every President known to use tobacco.

Now that Barack Obama has been elected, his supporters are quickly realizing that there is nothing else meaningful to the rest of their life. So instead of “Yes we can,” it’s “Yes, I suck.” The Onion has the full report.

I don’t get it.

Having proven that the State of Florida cannot handle relatively simple tasks, as was the case in the last Presidential Election, Florida’s Broward and Miami-Dade counties have announced that they will buck the state’s recommendations for handling voters flagged by the controversial Florida Voter Verification Law. I am not exactly sure who they think this will benefit, but it is ultimately bad for America.

When the election of the President of the United State becomes a political game and a pawn for either party, we have taken a serious step backwards in the upholding of our most cherished freedom. Whether you choose to “Vote or Die” or whatever dumb-sh*t anthem Hollywood will be chanting next week, the problem is real.

How can one state’s political system decide to jeapardize the voice of the whole country? Not that it will, but given the electoral college’s power, a screw-up in Florida could mean the difference between who controls one of the most influential countries in the world. These are the same people who screwed up the “butterfly ballot” and most of which have no idea how to work their TiVos. My grandmother lives in Florida and calls me every week when House is on so that she can record it and watch it the next day – so she can fast-forward through the commercials.

Oh yeah – these people are going to screw it up again…just watch!

The Young Guns of NCAA Football

Who says experience is everything?

Maybe more than ever before, coaches are turning to the best player available rather than the oldest guy on the depth chart. This season, there are a number of young guns who are proving experience may not be the best factor when deciding who takes the snaps on Saturday afternoons.

Even at storied programs, the next in line is rarely the next in line. Over a dozen underclassmen are answering the call of duty this season and are amongst the nation’s best at the quarterback position. [Love of Sports]

Why I Miss College: Because of FSU and Zeta Tau Alpha’s Sorority

You see this folks? This is what it’s like when you get to go to a school like Florida State University. This is what it’s like to be that guy. That guy in this picture who was smart enough to realize that this was his one chance to party on a consistent basis with hot blond sorority girls. Sure he looks like a toolbox but this guy is my kind of guy, and the ladies at Zeta Tau Alpha know what’s up. [Uncoached]

5 Reasons Why College Students Need to Vote

So why don’t politicians pay more attention to the issues that you care about, like the price of tuition, financial aid, and the availability of entry level jobs? Because traditionally, college students have had relatively low voter turnout. Instead, the candidates pay lots of attention to issues of importance to the elderly, like Social Security, because the elderly vote! [edu In Review]

College students: get off your duffs and vote! In case you need a good reason to do so, here are five:

We are nearing the point where a Josh Howard for Ron Artest swap would have been a character upgrade for the Mavs.

In a recent YouTube video, Josh Howard was filmed at Allen Iverson’s charity flag football game in July ‘voicing out his true colors’ during the American National Anthem.

When the camera panned to the direction of the recently extremely-troubled Maverick small forward, he states, ” ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is going on. I don’t celebrate this [expletive]. I’m black.”  He then goes on to make a comment about Barack Obama.

This was first reported by Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News, and has allegedly been ‘handled’ already by Dallas owner Mark Cuban by means of “communication-skill sessions” during camp in upcoming weeks.

Add this to his admission to marijuana use and his arrest for speeding and reckless driving in North Carolina, and now the Mavs are biting their hands when they realize that they probably could have landed defensive menace Artest from the Kings in exchange for Howard.

Who would have ever thought that Artest would ever be the better character guy in a one-for-one swap in any NBA trade?  The Mavs certainly didn’t think so at the beginning of the summer, but now they might be starting to change their mind.

We think so. Not that our word is worth jack – we know chicks, boobs, liquor and sports…and we know them well. However, given the recent sh*t storm of the Russian/Georgian conflict, even we knew this was coming.

Let’s go down the list of necessary qualifications: Biden has been known to cross partisan lines in the past (Check) ; He has more international experience than almost every other senator (Check); He is an older white guy that redneck southerners can say they voted for (Check); He is not Hillary Clinton (question mark).

On paper and in person, Joe Biden could be the smartest Vice-Presidential pick in recent history. Anyone who listens to him talk thinks back to the days of old school leaders, not politicians or beaurocrats. The question is now, will it be enough. McCain’s “Straight-talk Express” is driving him right back into the race, and if he announces his VP soon, we can have ourselves a pretty decent race on our hands.

If you’re still on the fence about who to vote for this November… you need worry no more.  Paris Hilton has officially made her presidential intentions clear in this response ad to the now infamous McCain / Hilton / Spears political. And you thought our country was in trouble.
