This goes beyond absurd:

We’ve now learned that since investigators began trying to build a case, they’ve made eight arrests: seven for drug possession and one for distribution. These are arrests that resulted as the sheriff’s department served search warrants.

We’ve also learned that the department has located and confiscated that bong.

So the police in Columbia, S.C. have nothing better to do? I like how Sully puts it:

He stands as living proof that pot-smoking is perfectly compatible with being a world-historic athlete. And that cannot stand. These laws are about enforcing lies.

Precisely. If someone in the White House reads this, perhaps we could see Obama’s first pardons be to these eight people, with one pending for Phelps. Also this Sherriff should be looking for a new job, unless there is 0 other, more serious crimes in Richland County. I mean crimes like rape, murder, assault, theft, or anything that involves hurting another – not the refrigerator and your waist line.
