Tinker:
I
wanted to talk to someone who understood what the people were feeling
about drugs in today society, so I went to read more of what
Chief Peace pipe pickle head said about drugs..."Chief Peace Pipe Pickle Head"
Just stop and listen to the music that we created to help us express our feeling that seem to force their way to the surface in our life. What if we couldn't sing our music we would someday explode to death not having the satisfaction of living out the way that we feel.
So try then to understand just how easy it is for some people to lean on a pill, or drink, or smoke, that has help them to relieve the curious feeling in their very real emotions.
Some people become addicted to the drugs however and then they fall away from the reality of their daily life. Now doctors have learned to control very powerful drugs that can push and pull a human being body chemistry at will with the drugs. That is a frighting really to me, helpless to a drug instead of becoming the master of your own ship.
Drugs now have become a hazed that keep addicting the people who keep using them, what the modern day TV oracle call, an addictive personality?
I lived around childhood friends who eliminate themselves from the society that we were living in because they kept using opium.
They
were kids just like you and me the only difference was that they kept
using the drugs that they became addicted too... that kills them one way
or another.

Dowd: Madam President...
----------------
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/
There is no moral high ground that he does not seek to occupy. As with
drones and gay marriage, he seems peeved that we were insufficiently
patient with his own private study of the matter. Why won’t the country
agree to entrust itself to his fine mind?
Yet while Barry is in the thick of it, the air is thick with Hillary. From the sidelines, she is soaking up a disproportionate amount of attention and energy, as though she were already Madam President.
She is supposed to be resting and off making $200,000 speeches, but instead she’s around every political corner.
The cicadas never showed up. But we can’t hear ourselves think here this summer over the roar of the Clinton machine — and the buzzing back to life of old Clinton enemies. Meanwhile, Obama’s vaunted campaign machine, which has morphed into a political group called Organizing for Action, has sputtered in its attempt to tear down Republican obstacles and push through his agenda.
While President Obama seems drained and disgusted at the idea of punching through the Republican blockade that awaits him on his return from Martha’s Vineyard, he told Jay Leno that Hillary “had that post-administration glow” when they met for lunch recently.
As the president was getting ready for his news conference, his former secretary of state was dominating the news with an event she didn’t even attend. Emily’s List held what was, in essence, Hillary’s first Iowa campaign event, titled “Madam President” and featuring Claire McCaskill, the Missouri senator who famously broke away from Clinton Inc. to join the Obama revolution in 2008. Now McCaskill, who once said she wouldn’t trust Bill Clinton near her daughter, is presciently back in the fold, on board with Ready for Hillary, the super PAC supporting Clinton for 2016.
As ABC News’s Michael Falcone reported from Iowa, the state that allowed Obama to vault over Hillary, McCaskill said she’s dreaming of “that moment in 2017 when we can say ‘Madam President’ to Hillary Rodham Clinton.’ ”
In a funny echo of Hillary’s defense of Bill during the Gennifer Flowers scandal, when she said she wasn’t home baking cookies and having teas, McCaskill told the forum it’s hard for women to run for office because it’s “not sitting down to tea and crumpets.”
For one thing, McCaskill said, it’s awful to go to a department store to buy Spanx and get recognized as a senator.
It’s being called Hillary’s “shadow campaign.” But the shadow campaign actually began when she was secretary of state. Obama granted his former rival special privileges and allowed her to move Hillaryland, with all her loyal image-buffers and political aides, into the State Department intact.
Because he doesn’t traffic in the unseemly nitty-gritty of politics that is mother’s milk to the Clintons, Obama has been somewhat naïve in how he has handled the imagery of their relationship.
West Wing strategists did not totally trust Hillary after the bitter 2008 battle. They thought by pulling the former secretary of state close, Obama could ensure that Hillary was not out there recreating events and decisions or taking more credit than she deserved — as she sometimes did during her 2008 campaign.
So Obama did not seem fully aware, with their cozy joint “60 Minutes” interview and their laughing al fresco lunch at the White House recently, that instead of co-opting Hillary, he looked like he was handing her the White House silver on a silver platter. The Clintons can present those images as Obama passing the torch and bypassing Joe Biden, just as Bill once took a simple handshake from J.F.K. during a Boys Nation visit to the White House and turned it into an Arthurian moment.
Many Democrats are hungry to make history again, and they see the first woman president as the natural successor to the first black president.
But in other ways, Hillary is not such a natural successor. The Clintons are ends-justify-the-means types with flexible boundaries about right and wrong, while the Obama mystique is the opposite. His White House runs on the idea that if you are virtuous and true and honorable, people will ultimately come to you. (An ethos that sometimes collides with political success.)
It’s odd that Obama, who once talked about being a transformational president, did not want to ensure that his allies and his aims were imprinted on the capital. Instead, he has teed up the ball for Hillary. Some of the excitement about Barack Obama was the prospect of making a clean start, after years of getting dragged into the Clintons’ dubious ethics and personal messes. Yet Obama ushered in the return of Clinton Inc. and gave it his blessing.
What he doesn’t seem to realize yet is that Hillary’s first term will be seen, not as a continuation of Obama, but as Bill Clinton’s third term.

Chief Peace Pipe Pickle Head:
Women are
becoming more wide awake about who and what they want out of the life
that they are living in their society nowadays....http://www.

Think of your mother.
Remember your precious strong, stern, determined, no-nonsense and yet gentle grandmother.
And you men, in particular, also reflect - if you will (and if only for a minute or two) - on your wives, daughters, sisters, nieces, female cousins and women you have trusted and confided in over the years.
As you reflect on those people and their relationship to you, try to think back to 1920. I know most of you weren't born then, but try to recall your history lessons from that time.
Some of you historians no doubt will note that it was the year Warren G. Harding, a Republican senator from Ohio, was elected 29th president of the United States, and the year the League of Nations was established after the end of World War I.
Movie buffs might know it was the year of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," starring the legendary John Barrymore.
The baseball enthusiasts among us surely will point out that 1920 was the year the great Babe Ruth was sold by the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees for a whopping price of $100,000.
It was the year that would start the decade known as "roaring" before it would end in the "crash" of 1929.
Many women, of course, will know it was the year the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, guaranteeing them the right to vote.
The 15th Amendment had ensured that the "right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." But that only included men, and specifically black men, because white men had the right to vote.
It would take women - of all races - an additional five decades to be afforded that most basic right of American citizenship. And it would take even longer before women had the right to serve on juries in many states or have the "privilege" to serve in public office in a lot of places throughout this land of the free.
I bring all this up because March is Women's History Month. But as I thought about it, I realized how little many people know or care about women's history.
For example, here are a few questions taken from a quiz on the National Women's History Project Web site:
► Who was the first woman to run for president of the United States (1872)?
► Who was the first female poet laureate of the United States?
► What journalist traveled around the world in 72 days in 1890?
► What woman was turned down by 29 medical schools before she was accepted as a student, graduated at the head of her class and became the first licensed female doctor in the U.S.?
► Who was the Shoshone Indian woman who served as guide and interpreter on the Lewis and Clark expedition?
► Who was the first black female poet to have her works published?
If you don't know the answer to at least 50 percent of those questions, you've got work to do.
The truth is, we all have more work to do because women in this country still have not overcome the vestiges of those long years of discrimination.
While there has been progress in areas of politics, business and education, women in our society continue to bump up against that glass ceiling despite the number of cracks made by people such as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the late U.S. Rep. Barbara Jordan and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Women, who make up the majority in this country, still have few places in corporate board rooms, executive offices and the halls of Congress.
And, on average, women still make less money than men of equal qualification and experience.
We are quick to point to other countries to talk about the treatment of women in society and in various religious traditions. But there still are many denominations in Western society in which women are expected to be seen and not heard and are denied chief leadership positions in their congregations and dioceses.
We have come a long way since 1920, thanks to the work of a lot of women and men, but we've still got a long way to go.
We've all had great women in our lives. They were our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, teachers, local leaders and neighbors - the many who encouraged and inspired us through their words and deeds.
We should celebrate them, not only this month, but every month of the year.
By the way, the answers to the quiz questions are: Victoria Woodhull (1838-1927); Rita Dove (born 1952); Nellie Bly (1867-1922), real name Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman; Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1920); Sacajawea (c. 1786-1812); and Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784).

19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:
On Election Day in 1920, millions of American women exercised their right to vote for the first time. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right, and the campaign was not easy: Disagreements over strategy threatened to cripple the movement more than once. But on August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was finally ratified, enfranchising all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

Women participating in political office fairly and squarely winning the majority vote in a free and open government election. Thereby becoming the person who runes the levers of a country's government power is a new social buildup of civil female emotion that has taken the western country's populations living today by storm.
Spreading across the globe like a quiet whisper that has turned into a roar of female voices demanding to be heard. Mans selfish self serving political power structure have held the women opinions back for far too long. Suppressing the female voice of reason out of the important decisions made in our community civil and religious groups around this world.
August 26, 1920, is not that so long ago when you think about how serious of a destructive feeling that was back then. A society of men that was willing to wright off half of the country's population because they were female. Are you kidding me, how could the men back then ever want do that to their mothers, sisters, wife, family and friends?

ENGSTER: LSU has history of pugilistic running backs
August 12, 2013 - © 2013 Tiger Rag
Art Cantrelle preceded Jeremy Hill among fighting football stars
By JIM ENGSTER
Tiger Rag Featured Columnist
The return of Jeremy Hill, the top rusher for LSU in 2012, stirs memories of the leading rusher on LSU’s 1970 SEC Championship team. Junior tailback Art Cantrelle was a punishing runner who gained a school-record 892 yards in 1970, breaking a 37-year-old LSU record for one season established by Steve Van Buren in 1943.
Cantrelle was not a big man, maybe six-feet and 200 pounds. But his fists were legendary in watering holes that populated the vicinity of the LSU campus in the early ’70s. One teammate said of Cantrelle, who had been a prep boxing champ, “He would knock out a man with the first punch and pop the guy two more times before he hit the floor.”
Cantrelle once allegedly took care of business in a hail of fisticuffs at an establishment known as The Keg. By the time I arrived as a freshman at LSU in 1977, that fracas rivaled the Rusty Domingue stabbing story as the most prominent LSU fights since Crowe Peele left the boxing ring at the Ole War Skule as the NCAA heavyweight boxing king of 1955.
A former patron of the Keg said that Art lifted a pinball machine and hurled it at four deputies who were approaching him with batons and wearing head gear. And somehow the account never received the publicity of Jeremy Hill’s sucker punch against a fellow LSU student at closing time in Tigerland a few months ago.
At LSU, the football team once had a ritual of shaving a groom’s pubic hair on the eve of his wedding. When they confronted Cantrelle, he was waiting for them, dead-eyed and icy-toned. He reportedly said: “I know what you guys are here for and I’m gonna let you do it. But before you do, I want you all to know that I see the face of everybody in this room, and I guarantee you that I will get every one of you, one at a time.”
Cantrelle was married the next day with all hair intact.
Cantrelle played professionally with the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League and with the Birmingham Americans of the World Football League. His coach, Jack Gotta with Ottawa and Birmingham, said Cantrelle was the toughest player he ever coached. In Ottawa, it was reported that Cantrelle lost a memorable fight to teammate Tom Laputka, a defensive lineman, who had played with the San Francisco 49ers.
Earl McRae, a writer for the Ottawa Sun recalls the LSU import this way: “What nasty, scary piece of work he was.” McRae called on defensive back John Kruspe to recount Cantrelle’s bout with Laputka.
“They got into arm wrestling,” Kruspe said. “For his size, Art was strong as hell. He was beating everybody no matter how big they were.
“Tom Laputka was watching from across the room. His arms were bigger than my thighs…He went over, they locked hands, but they couldn’t decide on the grip. Cantrelle kept mouthing away at him.
“Laptutka had enough. He swung a haymaker, nailed Art in the face, knocked him flat on his back, out cold. When Art came to, he shot out of the building. Five minutes later I was outside on the sidewalk when I saw him coming…He was in a rage. His eyes were on fire. In his hand, he was waving a pistol. He was looking for Laputka.”
Kruspe said Cantrelle fired a shot into a door and disappeared with a teammate. Coach Gotta then started referring to his feisty back as “Gunner.”
The 65-year-old Cantrelle has been out of the news for decades, but LSU might benefit by finding him in Biloxi, Ms. and arranging a meeting with Jeremy Hill about the risks of being a perennial trouble seeker. Forty-two years after Art left TigerTown, it is common to hear stories about the most pugnacious player Charlie McClendon ever mentored.
If Cantrelle had stayed in Baton Rouge, his only job offers would have been as a bouncer. To make matters worse, indiscretions of today are retained as evidence and for future generations with recording devices that were not around in 1970.
Cantrelle can say his exploits were exaggerated. Hill must live with video evidence of his latest transgression.
Remembering Earl Gros
An underrated LSU standout died last month. Houma’s Earl Gros, a 6-3, 220-pound running back who was bigger than most lineman of his day, was 72. Between 1956 and 1962, the LSU rushing leaders were in this order.
1956: Jimmy Taylor
1957: Jimmy Taylor
1958: Billy Cannon
1959: Billy Cannnon
1960: Jerry Stovall
1961: Earl Gros
1962: Jerry Stovall
A Heisman winner and runner-up, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, two College Hall of Famers and Earl Gros.
Gros lived in Prairieville after his retirement from the NFL. Gros was a first round pick of the Green Bay Packers, where he joined LSU great Jim Taylor. In a nine-year professional career, Gros rushed for 3,157 yards and 28 touchdowns and caught 142 pases for 1,255 yards and ten touchdowns.
Gros narrowly missed winning a national title in his senior year at LSU and an NFL title in his rookie season with the Packers. Green Bay, led by NFL Most Valuable Player Jim Taylor, beat the New York Giants, directed by Y.A. Tittle, 16-7, before 64, 892 fans on Dec. 30, 1962 at Yankee Stadium.
The year of 1962 started with Gros and LSU whipping Colorado 25-7 in the Orange Bowl to complete a 10-1 season with a No. 3 national ranking, marred only by an opening loss to Rice. The Jan. 1, 1962 game at Miami was the last at LSU for Gros and Coach Paul Dietzel. Gros the game’s leading rusher with 55 yards as LSU outgained the Buffaloes on the ground, 206 to 24.
Gros played for the Packers in 1962 and ‘63, with Philadelphia (1964-66), Pittsburgh (1967-69) and with the Saints in 1970. He returned in uniform to Tiger Stadium as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who played a pre-season game at Death Valley against New Orleans.

John Chavis fine with fresh faces on LSU defense (with video)
John Chavis sees plenty of fresh faces on the LSU defense ... and he’s fine with that
For a few minutes, John Chavis had a moment to himself before the familiar questions started.
The questions really were dressed up as doubts for a defensive coordinator who’s known for consistency.
In case the architect of LSU’s defense and the Mustang package forgot, there were plenty of people wielding microphones, digital records, pens, pads and bulky TV cameras to remind him: The Tigers lost seven starters on defense, including five underclassmen to the NFL draft — the largest exodus since 2010.
Surely, Chavis needs no reminder he has an entire defensive line to replace. Or a middle linebacker that racked up 130 tackles. And a brawny nickel back who, while sloppy in technique at times, snared four interceptions for a unit ranked No. 8 nationally in total defense.
Never mind that defensive ends Sam Montgomery, Barkevious Mingo, safety Eric Reid, defensive tackle Bennie Logan and, before he was booted in August 2012, cornerback Tyrann Mathieu entered last season as potential choices to go off the board in the first three rounds.
To hear Chief describe it, what else is new?
“We didn’t lose a guy off the defense that I didn’t think would be gone,” Chavis said.
Four seasons ago, the sky was surely falling, and Tiger Stadium surely reduced to rubble when LSU suffered similar attrition. The reality? Chavis’ defense jumped 14 spots to finish No. 12 in the nation for total defense in 2010, allowing 307.2 yards per game and shaving two points off what it yielded to allow 16.2 points per game.
On Sunday, the ever-straightforward Chavis wasn’t predicting LSU that would roll out a defensive juggernaut comparable to the 2011 team, which finished second nationally. Instead, his job remains largely the same: Replace a set of ridiculously skilled defenders with raw material in the nation’s No. 6 recruiting class.
“Anytime you’re replacing the guys we are, there’s some work to be done. The good thing is we got good talent. We’re replacing talented guys with more talented guys. ... If there’s a comforting thing about it, it’s that we’re replacing those guys with guys that are just talented.”
A conservative estimate would peg the number of freshmen vying to see the field would include linebackers Duke Riley and Kendell Beckwith, defensive ends Tashawn Bower and Lewis Neal, while Ricky Jefferson and Jeryl Brazil are in the mix at nickelback.
Balmy mornings on the practice fields are sure to include Chavis’ booming voice echoing off the slats of wood fence encircling the practice field.
No, coaching hard will never not be Chavis staple.
“The way he is with the older guys is the same way he is with the younger guys,” senior safety Craig Loston said. “There’s some slack, but his personality won’t change. He’s demanding, and he stays on us and pushes us. That never changes.”
Yet there are the moments where he spends a minute with Beckwith working on hand position, or asking junior middle linebacker D.J. Welter to run a drill again when not satisfied that the East Feliciana graduate — a four-star recruit and the No. 3 prospect in the state — isn’t getting a quality rep.
“He’s so big and physical and runs as well as the small guys,” Chavis said. “When you’ve got a guy like that, you’ve got to make sure you get him ready to play. I’m going to teach them all and coach them all hard, but you certainly want to do everything you can to get him on the field.”
The new arrivals are keenly aware there’s a void to be filled, too.
“We’re just ready to compete,” said Jefferson, a consensus four-star prospect out of Destrehan. “There’s chances here for us to make an impact, and we’re eager to try and do what we can to help this team out. Whatever we have to do to make that happen, we will.”
And Chavis is confident there’s enough experience in the form of tackles Ego Ferguson and Anthony Johnson, who’ve appeared in a combined 53 games, along with Jermauria Rasco’s time in the second-wave of pass rushers last season to replace the 21 sacks and roughly 54 tackles for loss that left the program.
“Even though we don’t have guys up front that haven’t started a bunch of games, they’ve played in a bunch of games,” Chavis said. “Those guys do a tremendous amount of teaching, and when you get things going they handle a good bit of that for younger guys.”
And Loston thinks the man paid $1.1 million annually has the track-record to allay concerns.
“I don’t think it’s anything different,” Loston said. “Every year I’ve been here, a couple guys leave to follow their dreams. It’s just something LSU does — get guys that can get the job done. They get guys in that can compete at a high level.”

True LSU Tiger leader and champion, 2008 BCS MVP, we were lucky to have him.
Proud of this guy, hope he continues to impress and improve the black and silver and have an awesome career.

LSU needs to come out and beat the breaks off of TCU and make a statement in that game! We do that and put the SEC on notice and make the talking heads and pundits eat the words that they have said about LSU. I think we put up big numbers in this game and it will give LSU the confidence and momentum to carry the whole season. To me this game is bigger than the game itself...
Just sitting at work nothing to do with LSU football on my mind

Wow,
bunch of idiots. The vote was to whether to even allow him to return.
Miles will suspend him, for sure, but won't publically comment on
it....I hate crappy journalists.

I
would hope he ends up suspended for a game or two, getting arrested
while on probation shows what an idiot this kid is. He should be removed
from the team and in jail. I doubt he has much of a future, I'd be
highly shocked if he doesn't have another off-field issue in the next 12
months.

John Chavis fine with fresh faces on LSU defense (with video)
