Bong Hits 4 the Supreme Court
By Paul Hovik

The "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" case just decided by the Supreme Court takes us from the sublime to the ridiculous. Certainly, the five Justices in the majority decision have read, or are at least aware of "the Theater of the Absurd." In any case, they have just added to it. Kudos to Justice Stevens for chastising them in a dissent more cogent than their majority holding.
