Chong Prosecutor Responds To Accusations
U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan, the person responsible for wrongfully persecuting Tommy Chong to boost her career, is currently being investigated for her role in the wrongful firing of eight U.S. Attorneys.
She says that she prosecuted Chong because Chong Glass sold "drug-cutting agents, not just bongs and other items sometimes cast as the harmless mind-your-own-business paraphernalia of lone pot smokers. All the costs were paid for by assets forfeited by Chong's business, she said, refuting claims by critics that the prosecution cost taxpayers millions of dollars."
You have to ask yourself...of all the people that were arrested for Operation Pipedreams, how come Tommy Chong is the only person that was sent to prison.

Update: "In stories April 26 and 27 about U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan, The Associated Press reported erroneously that a company owned by comic Tommy Chong sold substances used to "cut" or dilute illegal drugs. Chong's company was one of several Buchanan's office prosecuted for selling illegal drug paraphernalia, but it did not sell drug-cutting supplies."

Chong Working On "Cheechless" Cheech and Chong Movie
In an interview with The Telegraph newspaper, Tommy Chong says he's working on a "Cheechless" Cheech and Chong film.
The film is about Chong "mistaking a man, played by Paul Power, a storyboard artist from Australia, for Cheech." Chong and Power will co-direct the project.
As far as why the reunion didn't work out, “I think he remembered why he was mad at me before — I hadn’t changed a bit."
This weekend, Tommy & Shelby will be at the Argosy Casino in Alton, Ohio.

Tommy Chong To Be Featured Speaker At NORML Legal Seminar
From June 8-10, NORML will be hosting the 2007 Aspen Legal Seminar.
On June 9th, Tommy Chong will be NORML's featured luncheon speaker.
"Tommy, as you may recall, was selectively prosecuted by the federal government a couple of years ago for selling pipes on the Internet, for which he ended up serving nine months in prison. His topic for the seminar is titled Why Pot Is Still Illegal and Why Dave Is Still Not Here. This experience has clearly left Tommy feeling a renewed sense of urgency for the need to legalize marijuana and stop arresting responsible marijuana smokers."

Chong Prosecutor May Be In Trouble
Mary Beth Buchanan, the Bush-appointed U.S. Attorney that prosecuted Tommy Chong, may be in trouble. The House Judiciary Committee wants to question her over what role she may have played in deciding which U.S. attorneys got fired, allegedly for partisan reasons.
Meanwhile, Nelson Cohen, US Attorney in Alaska, may soon lose his job. Buchanan used her connections and a part of the Patriot Act, which allowed interim U.S. attorney appointments to become permanent without Senate approval, to get him that job. Congress is trying to remove this provision from the Patriot Act.
Buchanan "pushed the White House agenda, prosecuting such targets as famed cinematic pothead Tommy Chong, of Cheech and Chong fame, for selling bongs over the Internet. She also went after pornographers in California."
Karma!!!

Sonoma Film Festival Recap
This past Saturday night at the 10th annual Sonoma Film Festival, celebrities were on-hand to pay tribute to Pixar founder John Lasseter. The event was hosted by John Ratzenberger. It featured speeches from Bonnie Hunt, Glen Keane, Cheech Marin, Tony Shalhoub, Andrew Stanton and Robin Williams.
At times, it seemed like a roast with people such as Robin Williams poking fun at Lasseter for his involvement with Happy Feet.

Outlaw Bobby Capps Reports On Cheech Marin And Friends In Colusa
Cheech and Chong Dot Com correspondent, Bobby Capps, provided commentary on Friday’s Cheech Marin & Friends, Up in Jokes show in Colusa, California.
Mexican Americans
By Bobby Capps
Hold the harvesters folks! The tiny farm community of Colusa, California hosted a night out with Cheech Marin and Friends.
Colusa Indian Casino is located 70 miles North of Sacramento. Colusa isn’t well known for its night life so many of the comedians asked, "Where are we again?"
The night opened up with the house band performing for a sold out crowd. Standing room wasn’t even available. The crowd of mostly older folk roared as Cheech Marin entered the stage to the tune of "Low Rider", the legendary War song heard at the beginning of “Up in Smoke.”
Cheech joked about the local farm community (750+ were on-hand) and their nighttime activity with sheep. That’s right, sheep! Cheech, along with three entertaining friends, were a better hit than any 20th century homemade bong could give you. The crowd was non-stop laughter and wolf howls. Cheech made fun of everything from his recent divorce to his days of old Cheech and Chong music.
The first comedian was Gilbert Esquivel whom, in this Outlaws opinion, was the best of the night. Gilbert laid down the Mexican version of Jeff Foxworthy's, "You might be a redneck if..." One of his jokes was “if your house has four cars in the driveway and none of them work, you might be a Mexican.”
Second up was Loni Love. The gorgeous plus-sized black woman laid down the law about racial innuendo and middle eastern problems. Loni made reference to the Michael Richards comedy fiasco. She said, "Michael is my friend. He ain't No Racist! You know what? He ain't no comedian either!"
Last up was the one name comedian “Sebastian.” The style was slow jam comedy and the crowd seemed to slide into a snooze fest.
Between each act, Cheech livened it back up with well-known songs such as Mexican Americans, Me and My Old Lady and closed the show with Born in East L.A.
The bad part of the night was where I had to be escorted to my seat by the Colusa Casino
hostess (see photo, this photo is on my fridge). Boy, the things I do for the world of entertainment. lol.
All-in-all the show must go on and was well worth seeing. As always, Cheech was in great form and we had a good time.
