Jimmy's son and Willie on the roof stoning out



Former President Jimmy Carter admits in a new documentary that one of his sons smoked pot with Willie Nelson on the roof of the White House.

Carter, 95, was asked about the legendary country crooner’s previous accounts of puffing on a “big fat Austin torpedo’’ atop 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the doc “Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President,’’ which came out in theaters this week, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

“[Nelson] says that his companion that shared the pot with him was one of the servants at the White House,’’ Carter said.

“That is not exactly true. It actually was one of my sons.’’

Transient Stoned on the roof vs T-Wrecks with a fossil stone cerebrum.

Just like with Snoop Dawg.

I'm glad weed is about done getting demonized although it sure took long enough.

Even though it’s been a “short” week due to the Labor Day holiday, it feels like one of the longest...when I worked at the Postal Service it was the same way. You were expected to get the same amount of work done in 20% less time... but I’m not complaining...I work in home health and I am grateful for a job I mostly love. But I’m just burnt out lately. Too much stress and anxiety everywhere I look...If Willie wanted to come to this part of Texas, I’d invite him on the roof and burn one with him...I haven’t “burned” anything except dinner for about 40 years. But when I retire, I’ll make up for lost time.

In the meantime, Ella Fitzgerald and sparkling wine will have to do on this exhausted Friday evening. And BTW, I used to be on Willie’s Line Dance Team down in Carl’s Corner, TX. Fun times!
