Does Senator Danielle “Snowplow” Nantkes-Conrad still push roads defunding bills even though she uses them to commit her crimes?

UPDATE: Chuck, age 33, is still in his PJ’s, surfing online in his mom’s basement. Keep smoking and cooking with that MJ, Chuck.

Sure, the ONLY downside is that MJ kills brain cells. But I am sure that there are MANY cases where THAT won’t be a problem!!!! BTW, is there a difference between driving drunk and driving stoned?

The fact is that a firefighter, police officer, or an employee in any of dozens of other ‘respectable’ jobs would be looking for work today had they been pulled over and blown a test nearly three times the legal limit. This Good Senator will undergo ‘alcohol evaluation’ — whatever the heck that means! — pay a fine, and then continue on his merry way. So much for holding elected officials to higher standards, Nebraska.

Sen Lautenbaugh is the LAST person who should be sponsoring this bill. Interesting to note that he is just another of a long list of losers that HeineyMan has appointed in his tenure. Phipps, Sheehy, Winterer, Lautenbaugh. . . .

On the other hand, his point is valid, he just should not be the one pushing this particular bill at this time. I understand and happen to agree with what he’s after. This bill is designed to benefit brew pubs, establishments that brew their own beer on site like Lazlo’s or Crane River here in Lincoln. This law would allow a patron to purchase what is known as a growler – a 1/2 to 2 gallon refillable mini-keg – to fill and take home to put in the fridge. They are seal-able and use a mini tap to dispense the beer from. You purchase the growler then have it filled so you can take home the beer, which stays good for about a week in the growler in your fridge. I would love to be able to take home some of Lazlo’s on-tap Stout beer or some of Spilker Ale’s Hoppaluia double hopped ale on-tap and be able to keep it fresh for a few days to enjoy.

Great idea, Scott, piss poor timing and presenter.

Sorry ToucheTurtle, Alcohol also destroys Brain Cells and much much more, can you say alcohol induced hepatitis, liver disease, alcohol poisoning and the list goes on.
I would recommend that you put away your Rockefeller funded copy of Reefer Madness and do just a pinch of actual research on the issue of Cannabis/Hemp and find out why it’s actually illegal in this Country where as before the 1950s it was used in hundreds of different applications for the production of clothes, rope, hell I can’t even begin to list the uses.
I’ll give ya a little background to point you in the right direction though. In the 50s the Rockefeller’s begin buying up large tracts of timber land and were investing in Pulp Production facilities and paper plants. Now, at the time Hemp was also used for it’s Pulp to produce paper and other goods, the problem was that Pulp from Hemp was 10 times stronger than that from trees, it took much less water to grow and did not require the chemicals [can you say Dow Chemical] for fertilization and pest control. You could also grow 3 times the amount of Hemp in a 1/3 of the area required to grow trees! Now imagine this, Hemp can be used to produce plastic bags that are 10 times stronger than those produced with petroleum and it’s bio degradable. Would you care to make a guess at the number of plastic bags that Wal-Mart alone hands out every single day? Those bags are also bio degradable if you care to wait 10,000 years! Hemp can be used to replace almost all of the products that are now made from petroleum and is stronger and bio degradable. What would your guess be as to how that would affect gas prices at the pump since there would be a massive amount of crude saved by switching to Hemp? On top of this there would be much less need for pesticides and fertilizer needed for growing Corn, soy, Switch Grass for the use in the production of Ethanol as Hemp can be easily used for the same purpose. Bottom line my friend, if you legalize Hemp for commercial use alone you are stripping billions if not Trillions from the Oil Industry, Chemical Industry and the farmers that are making a fortune on selling corn and soy and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
Now we can talk about the medicinal use of Marijuana which btw is not the same as Hemp. while there is a small amount of tetrahydrocannabinol THC in Hemp it’s not enough to get you high without smoking about a pound of the nasty crap and then ya end up with a headache and nausea. As anyone that has ever been the victim of Cancer and has undergone Chemo and radiation tx. can tell you, you can buy legal marijuana, I’m not talking about the kind you go to Colorado and buy from a dispensary but rather a drug that is prescribed by your physician called “Marinol” manufactured by Unimed. it contains about 10mg of Dronabinol and cost around 5K for a three month prescription. Who do ya think is gettin very wealthy off that little jewel?
The problem is Sir is that since Marijuana is a natural growing plant and is and is available in any farm ditch the Gov. has yet to figure out a way to Tax it. On top of that, with the growing desire of States to privatize prisons, which require that their beds remain at full capacity in order to insure their stockholders receive a good return on their investment and the Fact that the Gov. usually the State or County can confiscate homes, cars, cash, or any other thing of value simply on the suspicion that it is a product of illicit drug transactions there is damned good reason to keep the so called “War on Drugs” alive and well.
I promise you if you do the research with an open mind you wil find that what I have stated here is not a conspiracy theory but FACT.

Billl J. Your cited example of police and firemen who would lose their jobs, etc. is way off base. Have you ever heard of the term “professional courtesy?” If not you should know police will not cite other police or firemen. They get a pass or a ride home. I know this from years of experience. The one exception is if they get stopped by NSP. NSP does not honor “professional courtesy” and they do what they are expected to do and that is to enforce the laws without bias or consideration of the detainees professional stature.

Another example of privileged politicians taking example of their “status”. Nebraska has a law that says members of the Unicameral cannot even be prosecuted for breaking the law during a session. Hey Scott, you should have robbed a bank too.
You blew over a .02 and wont say where you were drinking. Had to be a bar, after hours, or someplace your wife wouldn’t want to know about..Resign Chump.

What I don’t get is why just ‘certain bars’ kind of like that cigar store people can smoke but nowhere else? what is it with special favors for some and the heck with the others

Why hasn’t Governor Heineman asked him to step down?
Is there alcohol in the Governor’s refrigerator too?
