Quick hits

I'm still vainly trying to adjust to the time change so I'm unlikely to be back here tonight but here's a couple of items to hold you until tomorrow.

How an Oregon newspaper created a meth "epidemic" out of an ordinary shift in drug preferences. You can thank them next time you get a cold and can't get cold medicine at the convenience store.

Steve Kubby was released early from jail, after 20 days of a 60 day sentence. The good news is he discovered Marinol was helpful for his condition. The bad news is our government spent hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to extradite him, merely to punish him when his "crime" barely warranted a jail sentence. They don't go to that much trouble to hunt down murderers.
