FLASHPOINT for Oct 16, 2006

I have had some fun at the expense of those pushing the pot legalization initiative. Why? Because it's easy. But today I need to make light of some folks who are even easier: the Board of Regents. Three of the more conservative regents decided to try to get the board to come out against that pot initiative last week. No, they don't have enough to deal with in the Nevada System of Higher Education. What were these people thinking? What makes me think they were thinking? Luckily, the move to stick their noses into the subject was defeated when cooler heads prevailed. Or maybe I am not giving those pot folks enough credit: Maybe they slipped some good stuff to the majority that voted against taking a stand.
