BREAKING: Pot Bills To Become Law Without Carney’s Signature
The story: Gov. John Carney on Friday said he would let the bills to legalize marijuana and create a recreational industry become law without his signature, standing down from his aversions to recreational weed that put him at odds with his party.

Song of the Day 4/20: Charlie Worsham, “I Hope I’m Stoned (When Jesus Takes Me Home)”
John Carney’s attitude toward cannabis is the same as Nancy Reagan’s — he just says no, and there’s no way that will change today. Especially not today.

Song of the Day 4/19: The Bar-Kays, “Soul Finger”
Is Bear man the local version of Florida man? Back in the Before Times, in December 2017, Bear man Michael Rohana went to an Ugly Christmas Sweater party at the Franklin Institute.
