Don’t Sweat the Bombs Washington

If I was driving cab in Washington this week, I’d have to watch for Taliban-type explosions and then be amazed when Canadian soldiers and medics deal with it. The Secret Service is working with the Canadian forces on this. It’s a way to show Americans what Canada is doing in Afghanistan or it’s a way to scare the hell out of people who live in Washington.

Pot That’s Not

Did you know they can make car panels out of hemp? It’s true. This very cab could be made of weed. Hemp is in the news in Europe because the Dutch police destroyed 47,000 plants they thought were cannabis. It was a field of hemp being grown for Wageningen University where they are studying hemp as a potential sustainable source for textiles. So, if you bought any of this stuff before the cops torched it, you’ll get higher making a rug than smoking it.

Madonna Adds to Purse

Madonna never rode in my cab, but if she did I bet she’d leave a bit tip cause if there’s one thing she’s got, it’s cash. Her Sticky and Sweet world tour made $408 million, the highest ever for a solo performer. The highest grossing tour ever was the Rolling Stones’ Bigger Bang tour which grossed $558 million. They had to split it four ways though.
