Yesterday's Los Angeles Times ran an article about the newly-released-from-prison Tommy Chong. As you probably know, this half of the duo Cheech and Chong was arrested and prosecuted for selling bongs on the internet and sentenced to 9 months in prison.
An interesting article. It talks about his participation in the MARIJUANOLOGS, an off-broadway play about...do I need to explain this?
So, Tommy works at World Gym as a trainer now. I guess he is a pretty serious weight-lifter. Couldn't lift weights in the pen.
As a part of his parole, he can't be anywhere near pot. He has to be so cautious as not to sign autographs, even after performances of the MARIJUANOLOGS, for fear that the signee might have some pot on his person. I guess, too, there is always the possibility of a "plant" "holding" some "stash" in order to get at Tommy and send him back to prison.
Chong plead guilty to the charges so as not to implicate his wife and daughter. He was shocked when he found he'd have to do hard time. John Ashcroft apparently wanted to make an example of him.
Speaking of whom, according to that new book culled from from secret tapes made during the first W campaign, W thought that John Ashcroft would make an excellent Attorney General or SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.
Freedom is just another word for nothin' else to lose
