Wow, Sonny and Cher on German TV from 1965 as they appeared on "Beat Club" and the Dutch group "The George Baker Selection". I remember hearing them singing "Una Paloma Blanca" on the radio in the mid 1970's but before that I later discovered they recorded this "Little Green Bag" thing.
When I was at the university there was a guy in my senior year on my floor of the dorm who had little green bags to hand out to my roommate and lots of other guys.
I actually narrated a film for another student's project in my freshman year about the effects of marijuana and then discovered that his film was a bunch of guys passing the bong.
I was a drunk in my own way back then but I didn't smoke "the weed", but the weed was being smoked all around me.
I was actually the opposite of Bill Clinton when I think about pot.....
"I inhaled but I didn't smoke"
And that brings us to Israeli politics and the election on Tuesday and any party getting 3.25 percent of the vote is allocated a proportion of seats in the 120 seat Knesset.
One new party that's been riding as "high" as six seats is the "Zehut Party" of Moshe Feiglin. Feiglin is a former Deputy Speaker of the Parliament (Knesset) and formerly of Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likud Party.
His condition for joining any coalition government in Israel that is inevitable after the election is the legalization of marijuana in Israel.
Feiglin has a very libertarian, conservative platform otherwise and you can read more about it at this link to a "New York Times" story......HERE
The last minute appeals for the votes and the "New Right Party" of Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked and Education Minister Naftali Bennett has spent a lot of the campaign warning against President Trump's "Deal of the Century" plan between Israel and the Palestianians. They warn of 85-90 percent of Judea and Samaria being taken from Jews in the name of "peace".
But their campaign finale music video which is embedded at the linked story talks about Israel's highest court and its interventions to restrict Israel's military.....'NEW RIGHT PARTY' CAMPAIGN VIDEO STORY

Many on the streets of Venezuela today for sure and you can see pictures and videos with the Spanish text at the TV Venezuela Noticias (News) Twitter page.....TVVNOTICIAS VENEZUELA TWITTER
Ecuador denying they intend to kick Julian Assange out of their embassy in London but Wikileaks was told by their sources in Ecuador's government otherwise. You can read at the Wikileaks Twitter page...….LINK
The endgame of kicking Assange out would be arrest by British police and extradition to the US where court documents already indicate a case against Assange.
But social media presence is being cut off for someone we need to note and that someone is Tommy Robinson being restricted with a "You Tube" ban in recent days that is explained by "TR.News".
TOMMY ROBINSON YOU TUBE BAN
Tommy Robinson sent an email out Friday urging people to register to vote for the local government elections coming up in the UK on May 2nd. He talked about the grooming gangs issue that got him thrown in jail and has him tied up in the court system right now.
Here is part of Tommy's email:
"For anyone genuinely concerned about combating the Muslim rape gangs, voting in the upcoming Local Elections on May 2nd, is the most powerful thing an ordinary person can do.
The responsibility for child protection in the UK is at local council level. They get away with putting children in harms way because local election turnout is usually so small!
So, your vote has a much greater impact, if you choose a party like UKIP which will force councils to reveal their failures to protect English children.
Inquiries in Rochdale and especially Rotherham (by Prof. Alexis Jay & Dame Louise Casey) revealed how local councils deliberately put children in care in harm's way. And ignored the abuse going on under their nose. An international scandal.
This happened after trials revealed the full details of council and police failures. But since then judges across the country have been using Reporting Restrictions so local people don't know what is happening in their area.
With the upcoming Local Elections, not only is this clearly election interference by the judiciary, every council has a statutory duty to have inquiries like in Rotheram.
But the secrecy of the courts means councils nationwide are deliberately ignoring this responsibility. Denying victims justice and ensuring that abuse can continue...."
Peter Hitchens pointed out that a lot of people stayed home for that Special Election at Newport West last Thursday for a House of Commons seat with a wearied population....His full Sunday column at his blog and he leads with fact that Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn are a lot closer to each other than you might think....PETER HITCHENS BLOG....
