Today in the Wall Street Journal Andy Newman reported on a poll released by Quinnipiac University (who?). The poll -- so recent it is not even on the University's web site yet -- shows that a majority of Republicans, YES, REPUBLICANS, favor legalizing marijuana.
Even the Infinite Improbability Drive itself doesn't seem capable of generating such an unlikely scenario, because the only thing more infinite than infinity itself and more improbable than absolute zero probability is the potential for the ideologically and emotionally hijacked, tinfoil hat clad, Republican Tea Party to make the least bit of sense; particularly on this topic.
To be precise, the poll indicates that 55% of registered Republicans in New York State support legalization of marijuana. Perhaps it's just my imagination, or maybe the time/space continuum just hiccupped, or maybe the aforementioned Infinite Improbability Drive just blew a gasket. Regardless of the explanation, this is genuine progress folks; so, as improbable as it may seem for this space to ever publish such a phrase, here it goes:
"Hurray for the right!"
... ummm in New York, ummm sort of, ummm on this topic and only this topic and ummm only 55% of them! Maybe, just maybe, it's a start.
