Exactly… The guy (I guess was) their Chief Business Development Officer (according to LinkedIn), so presumably he’d be on the pre-cleared list that the Secret Service would have worked… And the DEA only alerted them when they where wheels-up and on their way…

I find it hard to believe they didn’t have some other event ready to go if something happened with that photo-op. Things happen at drug rehab centers. Even taking their explanation at face value, it seems odd that they wouldn’t have a back-up option.

Exactly! I’m trying to infer what is the hierarchy of crime. Here’s what I’ve got so far:
WORST
dislike chunky peanut butter
drug dealer
--- ^^ no handshakes above this line ^^ ----
--- vv handshake zone below this line vv ---
child molester
rapist
racist
liar
BEST
I must admit it strikes me as counter-intuitive. I would think that dealing drugs is less bad than being a child molester, evidenced by the fact that child molesters are often beaten to death in prison while folks who sell pot typically aren’t. “Drug dealer” is a much broader category of vice than most of these others.
I mean, honestly, I would draw the line between racist and rapist. Not because I think it’s okay to be a racist, but because merely holding racist views can be a victimless crime whereas it’s categorically impossible to have a victimless rape.

That is a pretty short measuring stick. I think it is interesting that they have taken this long, and this is the best excuse they can offer. Maybe they should have gone with something involving UFOs, as more plausible.

I think Jesus talked about this at some point. Don’t think it involved stoning, but who knows these days.

Sounds pretty fishy to me . . . and what a disappointment from the great expectations we felt when we first heard about the cancelled trip! Maybe something was wrong at the White House? Could it be? . . . Nah!!
And the prize goes to… (Drumroll!)… “spatula… on the floor…!”

That was the mandatory try-before-you-buy when I learned guitar back in college. I have this vague memory of a movie with a “NO STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN!” sign posted in the instrument section of a pawn shop. Or, heck, maybe that was real life. Anyway, my friends made me learn it before I bought my $30 Guyatone.

Took them three weeks, but that story is so old, it was growing mold. Nice to be reminded of it so we can continue to wonder what the REAL story is.

Check out Dolly Parton’s cover of the song – it’s amazing, and may change your opinion.

Do not be fooled by this. The first time it saw it I tried it. First it was a query, “What can you do?” I repeated it 11 or 13 times. Then I tried saying “at discobot display help, what can you do for me?” a dozen times. Still nothing.
Now, I just don’t know what else to say, 'cept maybe: Alas, mine voice mellifluous dost failst (to activate the TPM discobot).

I love Dolly, but when you mentioned her version I immediately thought of this blast from the past!

Oh, yeah. I remember that. I never followed up on that really important story.
September 20th, huh. Better buy more popcorn.
