Dr. Zim, how does the barrage of Reddit memes affect reading comprehension skills?

Citizens United was about a movie, Hillary: the Movie.
If the Koch Brothers shouldn't be allowed to release a movie during an election, should Michael Moore?
And if neither the Koch Brothers nor Michael Moore should be able to make a movie, should Jon Stewart be prohibited his nightly commentary during election season?
Do you really think a politicians and public figures deserve to be sheltered from criticism? Propagandist, satirical, or otherwise?

Was your cousin one who died from a gunshot? Was he only 13?
How did you make your money? Steal cars and sell drugs/guns? Or something else? Was it fairly organized or kind of ramshackle?
If you robbed someone who was a regular straight citizen, I'd like it if you told that story.
And just curious, who are your favorite hip-hop artists?

Hello, Jared! Thanks for coming back.
Before I get to the marijuana questions, do you and your partner have plans to unite civilly in Colorado once the bill is signed into law?
- Every Coloradan 21 and up can grow up to six cannabis plants for personal use.
To what extent can law enforcement realistically prevent diversion of marijuana to minors?
Do you believe we should treat under-21 marijuana use differently than the near-scofflaws of underage drinking and possession of alcohol?
- Our State Assembly is set to create a THC DUI, with a maximum limit of 5 nanograms per milliliter of blood. (There's a public hearing on Valentine's Day). This proposal failed three times before, but now assemblypersons seem to feel compelled to "respond to legalization."
If you were a CO State Senator, is this a proposal you would endorse? If so, for what specific reasons do you this is prudent?
For reddit's benefit, the arguments against the proposal are that there is no "THC breathalyzer" and compulsory blood drawing is invasive; no (non-invasive) field sobriety tests for marijuana have been approved; and 5ng is not a scientifically supported indication of impairment because THC remains in the blood long after the initial high, thus defining impairment without establishing impairment.
The arguments for the proposal are that it will deter "stoned" driving and setting a maximum limit fulfills our obligation to regulate marijuana similarly to alcohol.
Thanks for reading (and hopefully responding).
I know we've extended the invite before, but whenever you're in Denver you can swing by one of /r/Denver's weekly meetups: Beer & Settlers of Catan every Wednesday, Beer & Billiards every Thursday, and Beer & Arcade Games every Friday.
Take care!

His whole interview was fantastic. Shoulda bumped James Franco that dude was a bore. Did you find it kinda weird to hear David Spade plug his AMA on Stern?
