Still entrenched in this deeply wonky conference, but had to take a moment to chart just how ridiculous the whole Michael Phelps weed affair has become. To wit:
"Mazda Has Michael Phelps Apologize to China"Apparently, if an athlete smokes marijuanna, it's not enough that he be shamed domestically. No, he has to apologize to the world's most populous nation to make entirely clear that the arbitrary moral distinction drawn between different types of recreational drugs is still in effect, despite all of the negative externalities that come with that arbitrary moral distinction.
