Michael Phelps Should Pay the Price

I'm so relieved that, after his move up north, Daniel Solzman did not leave the Kentucky blogosphere in his wake. And let me be the first to say kudos on his post about Michael Phelps's drug abuse. "What the fricking heck?" indeed, Solzy!

Marijuana may seem like "no big deal" to thugs and hippies, some of whom even suggest that Phelps should apologize for his apology, but pot smoking is SERIOUS. Neverminding the fact that Phelps is a star athlete and a role-model to so many young, white, athletic, middle-class males, who may not be able to succeed in life except for the opportunities that excelling in sports may provide them, but as someone who has smoked pot (which I have not done since I accepted the Lord into my heart in 2003), I know that it leads to nothing but a road paved with Doritos and empty Yoo-Hoo bottles. No one wants to see someone who lives on Taco Bell in a Speedo, of that much I can assure you.
