Four years ago, 178 Republicans in the House of Representatives voted against H.R. 1113, which was introduced in the spirit of "celebrating the role of mothers in the United States" and "supporting the goals and ideals of Mother's Day." Once again, in case you missed it, 178 Republicans voted against it.

There is definitely a huge drug problem in Afghanistan, and our strategy seems to be the cause of it. Our allies that we desperately rely on are all high on drugs, selling drugs, or both. And not only are we paying for it, people are dying because of it.
The fantasy isn't always the same as the reality. Since it's 4/20, here are a few facts and fictions about working on a pot farm.
Huffington Post political reporter Ryan Grim appeared on MSNBC this afternoon to discuss the true origins behind the now legendary pot smoking celebra...
Given slavish governmental allegiance to the drug war (over the course of eight presidencies), skepticism is understandable. But unwarranted.
