Missouri Rep. Roy Blunt, the House majority whip and an ardent anti-drug campaigner, torched more than a million dollars of marijuana last week in an effort to stamp out meth labs. Blunt said that the... effort... wait... hold on... set fire to marijuana... stamp out meth... Hold on. That doesn't make any sense. Turns out the (admittedly downwind) Joplin Independent writer who covered the fiery event was a bit perplexed, too:

Now you could be asking what does destroying pot have to do with meth?

"Beefing up the borders due to Homeland Security issues will drive these guys more toward the meth trade," Blunt told the group. "We need to start right here where we know the meth problem exists."

So is he against beefing up the borders? I doubt it. And maybe my geography is bad, but which country does Missouri border? We need to deal with the "meth problem" by setting fire to a few pounds of pot? As a wise man says every Friday night, "Give me a break!"
