Sex, Drugs, Rockband

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — People looking for work by dialing a published phone number for the Maryland Job Service Hotline could end up with something completely different.

Dialing a phone number listed on the Family Health Administration’s Web site steered unsuspecting job seekers to women in the area looking for sex. The incorrect number was also listed in the a phone book and on other Web sites.

State officials say they are aware of the problem and are working to correct it…

TP: Working on fixing it? Holy Shit Dude, ya think? I personally believe they should reimburse those unemployed bastards that were turned on in the middle of the day and needed to take care of themselves.

There is an initiative in the works that could end up on the November ballot that allows for marijuana to be sold to anyone, and anywhere that already sells alcohol. Its being called The Inalienable Rights Enforcement Initiative. From the full text of the measure:
This initiative will amend the Constitution of California to defend and safeguard the inalienable rights of the People against infringement by governments and corporations, providing for the lawful growth, sale, and possession of marijuana. Marijuana will be taxed through a system of stamps and licenses–a $5 stamp will be required for the sale of an eighth ounce of marijuana and a $50 annual license will be required for the growth of one marijuana plant. To protect participants and encourage participation in the system, such licenses and stamps will be available anonymously in stores where marijuana is sold.
