Chong's Judge Judged

A federal appeals court tossed out a ruling made last year by US District Judge Charles Schwab. In this case, Schwab (the same judge that sentenced Tommy on bogus charges) copied someone elses opinion word-for-word. The appeals court ruled that he put no thought into his decision. Also, make note that this judge was appointed by President Bush and only had nine months of experience when he sentenced Tommy.

Update: Once again, Allan conducted a very thorough interview. Here are the highlights.

• When the agents raided Chong's house, they weren't looking for drugs, they were looking for bongs and weapons. Tommy explained that if you are busted for bongs and also have a weapon in your house, it increases the length of your sentence (even if you have a permit).
• Agents appeared to be embarassed that they had to conduct this raid.
• Agents confiscated the bongs, but left the opium pipes because Operation Pipedream only wanted marijuana-related items.
• Tommy expects the new Cheech and Chong movie to enter production this September.

Chong Does Leno

As revealed earlier by Cheech and Chong Dot Com, Cheech Marin made a surprise visit. Tommy and Cheech once again confirmed that they are working on a new movie.

NEWSFLASH: TOMMY CHONG RELEASED

Earlier today, Tommy Chong was finally released from California's Taft Correctional.

Tommy had been serving a nine month sentence because Chong Glass shipped bongs to Pennsylvania via US Mail. Ironically, Tommy did not own, nor operate Chong Glass. The business merely used Chong's likeness.

It was all part of the Bush/Ashcroft "religious right" crusade. Tommy was punished for his movies, not for anything he did. Dozens of other headshops were busted during the same Operation Pipedreams crusade. However, Tommy was the only one who served time.

The Feds told Tommy Chong that if he didn't take the rap for Chong Glass, his wife and son would. They also promised Tommy that they would be lenient on him. THEY LIED!

Tommy To Appear On The Tonight Show

Today, Jay Leno announced that Tommy Chong will be on the Tonight Show JULY 9TH, shortly after his July 7th release from prison.
Jay claims this will be his first interview after being released. However, Tommy told Howard Stern that he'd appear on his show first. What's the truth? The truth is that Howard is on vacation that week so he blew his shot to have Chong first.
UPDATE: BOTH CHEECH AND CHONG WILL BE ON THE SHOW!!!

Senate Passes Indecency Bill

For the past few months, Senator Brownback has been unable to get the Senate to pass the indency bill. However, earlier this week, he finally succeeded.
How did he do it? He piggy-backed the bill onto a military spending bill. This is why it has received so little press coverage. No one noticed.
Senators were "for" the military bill so rather than taking the time to remove the indecency portion, they just passed it.
But wait, it gets worse. Senator Brownback (who lives in a mansion paid for by a religious cult) wants to increase the fines to $3 million per offense, rather than $500,000. This means that both the entertainer and the station he works for have to pay $3 mill each for a total of $6 mill.
Powell's son runs the FCC and can declare anything indecent. What gives him the right? He is President Bush's pawn.
First, Tommy was thrown in prison for a crime he did not commit. Now this. No more Cheech and Chong films are allowed on network television. The future of the Howard Stern radio show is also in jeopardy. He will most likely move to satellite radio. See XMSR and SIRI.
