Imagine their surprise when they learned that they were not losers, but rather amateur scientists conducting important research into how much drugs someone had to ingest before they'd turn into a Liberal Democrat.

The reTHUGlicans are beating Obama up for his honesty, but it's only because they fear science. They've been telling our kids for years that drugs are bad for them, along with underage drinking and sexual promiscuity. In reality, experimenting with drugs is just a part of the learning process that all kids go through.

I just wish I had known this back when I was experimenting with LSD. I would've paid closer attention to what the purple squirrels were telling me.
