Mark and Dana Michelle Gerstle, the couple George Zimmerman recently rescued from an overturned SUV, say they want nothing to do with the man who was acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin.
According to reports, the Gerstles have refused to talk publicly about Zimmerman for fear of portraying him as a hero.
“They are very grateful to Zimmerman for what he did, but they do not want to get involved,” a source toldThe Daily Mail. “There is so much hatred directed towards him they have got to think about their own family. There are a lot of crazies out there. If they say anything in support of him it could backfire.”
“Marijuana has had a bad rap for too many years, man. Its time is now.” — Judah Izsraael, activist and co-owner of Weed World Candies
Bilal Muhammad a.k.a. “Dro Man” is a resident of Stuyvesant Town in Manhattan, New York and sells marijuana on the streets of New York.
And he does it from a big green truck that advertises deliveries.
But before you go running out into the streets to flag down one of these colorful vans, check this out first: Mr. Muhammad, owner of Weed World Candies, sell his cannabis in the form of lollipops!
With flavors derived from brands of marijuana such as “Lemon Drop Kush”, “AK-47″, ” Keisha”, “Girl Scout Cookies”, “Purple Urkle”, “Strawberry Cough”, “Heroijuana” & “Blue Dream”, Weed World Candies’ co-owner, 44 y.o. Judah Izsraael claims his candies contain “only a small, yet legal, amount of THC” — the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that gets you stoned.
Now, while its highly questionable that there is actually a “legal amount” of THC allowed under federal law, it is true that the weed candy wagon has been rolling around the Big Apple since April, and so far they’ve not been hassled by the law. As a matter of fact, this past Monday, one of their vans passed me on street in midtown as I muttered to myself , “What in the heck are they advertising?”
“Marijuana has had a bad rap for too many years, man,” said Izsraael, 43. “Its time is now.”
Dro Man, a prior owner of one of the many West Hollywood, Los Angeles medicinal dispensaries that were forced to shut down earlier this month, has decided to take his business on the road.
He adds that the company was an advocate of the industrialization of marijuana, “and to industrialize it, you’d have to de-criminalize marijuana because you have to grow it. This is part of our mission, because hemp is used for a lot of medicinal things. It’s not a drug. Drugs are manufactured.”
Weed World Candies also makes brownies, cookies, cupcakes, cakes, muffins too!
Hmmm…this warrants some further investigating, no?…

Anthony Weiner and his wife tried to calm the nation. Apparently, there are more pics of Weiner’s weiner parading around the Internet and theae new pics are believed taken after the Democratic Congressman was forced to resign because he sent pics of his weiner to various women online.
But why is Weiner’s weiner the apparent topic of the day? I’ve browsed various liberal and conservative radio shows and it seems that nothing else is happening in the world. And even here, at EzKool, more people came to this site yesterday because they were searching Google for “naked weiner pics.”
And I’m puzzled. I’m confused. For the life of me, I simply cannot see what the big deal is.
Yes, Anthony Weiner took pictures of his junk, but serously… who hasn’t? And he did something stupid and sent those pictures to women online. Dumb, I know. But what exactly does his naked weiner has to do with him politically?
The answer I keep hearing from both liberal and conservative shows is “it shows his lack of judgment.”
Lack of judgment? As a congressman, no one – especially those on the left – questioned Weiner’s judgement. He was known as a fighter for the average middle class American and many, including those who questions his judgment now, praised him for the work he did. When other Congressional Democrats avoided Fox News out of fear, it was Weiner who showed the balls and stepped up to the plate.
Remember the phrase, “Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance industry?” That was Anthony Weiner, telling the truth the only way he could.
Yes, Weiner made some personal decisions that are questionable. But New Yorkers will not be voting for a Bishop or a Pastor or a Priest. And even Bishops, Pastors and Priests have moral skeletons in their closet.
New Yorkers will be voting for a politician. And they should look at the political fight record of the candidates and make their decision accordingly.
The man did something wrong. Some might even say he has a problem and needs help. But as long as Weiner knows how to separate his “problem” from his politics, I’m okay with him. If he shows his weiner on national television while in a policy debate, then you can tell me about his lack of moral judgment.
If you’re employing a politician, you need the best politician. If you’re looking for a spotless moral beacon, good luck!
In a video that has received wide attention, police chief Mark Kessler repeatedly tells those upset by his use of profanity to “go f*ck yourself” as he fires various automatic weapons.
Mayor Mary Lou Hannon told The Morning Call that Kessler had the right to express himself. The city would “not take action to quash free speech, whether or not each member of council or any member of council agrees with it.”
Kessler has uploaded several profanity-laced videos to YouTube. In one video, Kessler berates “libtards” and warns of an armed rebellion against the government.
“F*ck all you libtards out there, as a matter of fact, read my shirt,” he says, turning around to show a message on his back which read, “Liberals take it in the a**.”
“You take it in the ass and I don’t give a f*ck what you say so you can all just go f*ck yourselves. Period. I wont be going to D.C. and I don’t give a f*ck. If you f*cking maniacs want to turn this into an armed revolt, knock yourselves out. I’m not about that, so see you on the other side.”
Well I’m a die hard fan of my home state New Jersey Devils and am truly devastated by the departure of our star Ilya Kovalchuck and now I can’t say I’m too excited for the 2013-2014 hockey season. We are a team without a star, an aging star goalie, and seriously depleted of any offensive talent. Of course Devils fans have expressed any displeasure and over the off season we’ve acquired some nice pieces such as goalie Cory Schneider. Now the latest news is that we have signed Jaroimir Jagr…
Jagr spent his last season with the Boston Bruins
Jaromir Jagr is 41 years old, has played with 7 NHL teams over the course of his career, and we just gave him a one year contract where he can earn $2-4 million. I’m not a Jagr fan as he seems to play for the money over the love of the game, but this signing makes complete sense for the Devils. While Jaromir Jagr may not be on the same level as Ilya Kovalchuck at this stage of his career, he is a savy and experienced veteran winger with the occasional sparks of his brilliant play. I’m not expecting Jagr to make a huge impact on the Devils as we are a team in serious transition this year. All I can do is brace myself for a rough season ahead.
George Zimmerman leaves court after the not-guilty verdict was read in Sanford, Fla,. on July 13.
Was it a coincidence that George Zimmerman was in the right place at the right time when a SUV, travelling past the home where he’s been holed up since his not guilty verdict, overturned and crashed less than a mile from where Zimmerman shot Martin. Or was it aplot devised by Zimmerman’s defense attorneys to mold the pudgy 29 y.o old self-appointed neighborhood watchman into some type of hero? In lieu of a federal investigation concerning whether Zimmerman violated Martin’s civil rights followed by a possible civi suit against him and the state of Florida, I would say stranger things have happened…like his acquittal for instance.
George Zimmerman, who has been in hiding since he was acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, emerged to help rescue a family who was trapped in an overturned vehicle, police said today.
Zimmerman was one of two men who came to the aid of Dana and Mark Gerstle and their two children, who were trapped inside a blue Ford Explorer SUV that had rolled over after traveling off the highway in Sanford, Fla. at approximately 5:45 p.m. Thursday, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
The crash occurred at the intersection of I-4 and route Route 46, police said. The crash site is less than a mile from where Zimmerman shot Martin.
By the time police arrived, two people – including Zimmerman – had already helped the family get out of the overturned car, the sheriff’s office said. No one was reported to be injured.
Zimmerman was not a witness to the crash and left after speaking with the deputy, police said.
It’s the first known sighting of Zimmerman since he left the courtroom following his controversial acquittal last week on murder charges for the death of Martin. Zimmerman, 29, shot and killed Martin, 17, in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012. The jury determined that Zimmerman shot Martin in self-defense.
If you follow the news every minute (used to be every day), you’d think that Obama’s presidency has been a grand failure. After all, he didn’t save the world, or make friends with the terrorists and turn them into democrats or make the economy zoom along at a 5% growth rate or clean the air or any number of things that he either promised to do or was expected to do when he took office in 2009.
Instead, he faced some of the most extreme opposition of any president and really only accomplished most of his agenda when he Democrats controlled both houses of Congress by filibuster-proof (in the Senate) majorities. I’d also like to take this opportunity to remind people that many other presidents faced concerted opposition including Theodore Roosevelt (from his own party), Woodrow Wilson, FDR (from the Supreme Court and Congress), JFK, LBJ, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. That any president can get things done under our constitution is a monumental accomplishment, but somehow we as a country manage to move forward.
So it is today. The Senate has thawed some over the past two months and recently avoided internal chaos with the approval of a good number of Obama appointments. Of course, the GOP is now facing buyers remorse on that compromise, but only because they got, well, nothing out of the deal. And it looks like the stars might not align on immigration reform because the House, always extreme on the right or left, will not consider a comprehensive bill. In fact, the House is so busy voting to repeal the health care law that there’s precious little time for anything else.
In this environment, it’s useful to remind everyone just how much Barack Obama has accomplished in just over a term. Those accomplishments are listed in this article, and should be required reading of anyone who says we’ve done nothing since 2008.
We’ve had financial and bank reform, health care reform, the saving of the automobile industry, and avoided a depression. But there’s more and any thinking American should know that. So take a look and understand that our government was built to act slowly. That works both for and against us, but it is how the framers constructed the system. We will have more landmark legislation over the next three and a half years. Some of it will be incomplete and need revision in a few years. Some of it will become part of the fabric of American life.
The Supreme Court called it constitutional, republicans have failed to repeal it on 39 different occasions. But this time, Republicans are prepared to shut down the government to stop people from getting health care.
ObamaCare is at the center of a rapidly escalating fight that threatens to shut the government down this fall.
Senate Republicans, including two members of the leadership, are coalescing around a proposal to block any government funding resolution that includes money for the implementation of the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
But such a move is a nonstarter for President Obama and congressional Democrats. Republicans have tried this maneuver in Obama’s first term, only to back off later to the chagrin of Tea Party leaders.
This time, GOP lawmakers are emboldened by problems plaguing the administration’s ObamaCare implementation. But that zeal could put Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in a tough spot. Both leaders have downplayed previous talk of shuttering the government.
In the House, 64 Republicans have signed onto a letter pressing Boehner not to bring any legislation funding ObamaCare to the floor.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), the leader of the Senate effort, predicts the vast majority of the Senate Republican Conference will back his plan, giving him enough votes to sustain a filibuster of a stopgap spending measure.
“This is the last stop before ObamaCare fully kicks in on Jan. 1 of next year for us to refuse to fund it,” Lee said Monday on “Fox and Friends.”
“If Republicans in both houses simply refuse to vote for any continuing resolution that contains further funding for further enforcement of ObamaCare, we can stop it. We can stop the individual mandate from going into effect,” he said.
“We have 64 of my colleagues on this letter and we’re asking the leadership not to bring anything to the floor that has funding for ObamaCare in it,” said Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), who is spearheading the House effort.
