Supreme Court Considers Bong Hits
The Supreme Court has heard arguments in the case of an Alaska teen who was punished by his school principal for displaying a 14-foot “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” banner at a school-sponsored Olympic torch parade. Morse v. Frederick, as the case is known, could be a definitive ruling on the free speech rights of public school students. Unsurprisingly, career moral crusader Ken Starr is arguing against the students speech rights, and is opposed by a strange coalition which includes the ACLU, Christian conservatives and a gay rights group. Jesus has yet to comment on the issue, citing “official X-Box duties.”

No matter what they decide, the First Amendment isn’t going to start protecting bong hits. I think Neidermeyer’s title was actually referring to Scalia’s legendary annual “Highbeas Tokus” party at Easthampton.

Yeah, I thought at the time that “upholds” sounded like something you could do with a bong rip. I swear it was funny at the time… I’ve changed it, though.
Danimal: you think it’s just a coincidence that it’s called “the highest court in the land”?
