Reefer Madness in Claremont UPDATED

You know, Claremont Insider has it all wrong. Word on the street is that David Beckham and Posh were going to live in Claremont, but then they read the Claremont Insider blog and decided that they couldn't live in a place with such incompetent leadership. And they are all into being healthy and stuff, so they want to stay away from a city with a rampant drug problem.

Will Bigham doles out another priceless nugget in the DB:

The assault by local marijuana activists on Claremont City Council members' sensibilities continued at Tuesday night's council meeting.

Two weeks after treating council members to pot-leaf-shaped cookies, marijuana activists Dave and Darlene Matteson returned with heavier equipment.


During the public comment segment of the meeting, after urging the city to accommodate a medical marijuana dispensary, the couple took out a vaporizer - used to smoke marijuana - and began making preparations to demonstrate its use to the council.

This pending demonstration shocked the audience, and Mayor Peter Yao urged the Mattesons to stick to verbal comments. They complied.

Afterwards, Pedroza and Ellen were seen . . . just kidding.

I almost forgot that Bill Clinton is coming to Claremont this weekend. He could speak anywhere he wanted—why here? You don't think he heard how kind it is in Claremont?
