Photobucket With the first public vote anywhere in the United States to legalize, tax and regulate cannabis for recreational use, Californians are poised to drop the first domino in what will surely be a new era for our country. So what exactly does that mean? Let's jump ahead to 2020 America and take a look at what the New Stoned Age will function like.

MSNBC has been running a series of reports about the impact the recession is having on the city of Elkhart, IN. Elkhart has been hit particularly hard by the loss of jobs in the RV industry which had become the lifeblood of the local economy for decades. Now, with gas prices at record levels and fewer people investing in the gas guzzling RVs produced in Elkhart, the city has been struggling.

Jennifer Holderread is a resident of Elkhart who has been dismayed by how the city and its people are being portrayed on the Project Elkhart series on MSNBC. She contacted me on Facebook in an effort to get the word out about what is really going on in the city. The following story below the fold is the first of what I hope to be regular dispatches from the front lines of the recession in Indiana.

For over two years now Donita Sparks has hosted The Spin I'm In, a weekly music and variety column that added a cultural element to the discussions at FireDogLake every Friday afternoon (West Coast time) at 3pm PDT (6pm EDT). My role has been as her "digital roadie" each week prepping the column and then co-hosting the fun in comments with her.

With recent transitions in Donita's life she has decided it is time to move on and is doing her last column today at FDL. We'd love to have some Kossacks come by and hang out with us when the column posts at 6pm EDT, so be sure to head on over and say goodbye to Donita in the comments section at FDL afterwhile.

The response to the announcement that Barry Welsh's Green Night event was being postponed these past few days from our friends in the Netroots has been nothing short of amazing. Markos has been extremely supportive and we are humbled that he would take the time to help Barry’s campaign in a difficult time.

Brian Keeler, aka NYBri from here on DailyKos, has been nothing short of a hero these last few days. When I told him about the situation with Barry’s sister and the event being postponed, he immediately sprang to action to spread the word to a number of friends and allies and is even going to help us with what I have to announce today. More after the flip.

Several months ago I wrote on Monticello about Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd hiring my friend and fellow blogger Matt Browner Hamlin as his campaign blogger. Since that time MBH has done an outstanding job of keeping track of the Senator's travels and his journey toward the Democratic nomination for President.

It's been fun to see someone I know hitting the Presidential campaign trail hard like Matt has done and he's been in the trenches of the frontline battle for the nomination. I wish I could tell you I know some deep internal campaign stuff but Matt's been an honorable and loyal guy for the senior Senator from CT and hasn't shared anything but some amusing anecdotes of office stuff and minor but hilarious incidents from the road warrior's life he leads these days.
