Aside from “its a good idea”, why do this now? Why drop the issue into the growing election cycle?
For all the “Obama is not meeting our expectations”, I feel relatively comfortable assuming whomever gets the GOP nod would be a damn sight worse. Why give a demoralized opponent a reason to rally? Save the petition for next year, when there’s no liability (or at least much less liability).
I’m for anything that pushes toward legalization, but after waiting 3 decades I’m willing to wait another year if it might help tip the scales in my favor . . . and doesn’t risk dozens of other subjects that would be endangered by GOP gains.

busboy33 commented on the blog post Late Night FDL: Xyzzy Gaming
I’m fairly surprised at how few gamers there are at the Lake.
I’m a regular gamer . . . have been since my parents got an Atari 2600. Don’t play on my computer though — pretty much exclusively on the 360 (gamertag: busboy33). Types of games? well, just about anything — FPSs, racers, strategy, cards, music, you name it. Currently waiting for Gears3 next Tuesday, Forza4 next month and Skyrim in November.
Don’t play in open rooms though. There’s just too many jerks. I’ve got a good group of players (Team Waxy) and we just play privately. I’ve got people in my Team from around the country and around the world . . . and although I’ve played with these people for years, I’ve met only two. Despite never meeting them in person they are my good friends, a I’d rather spend an hour or two laughing with them online than watching tv any day of the week.
