Burger stands the test of time

The New Year has really started off with a bang.
First, I am faced with the news that Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, has been busted for possession of marijuana in Hudspeth County, Texas. Now, Snoop Dogg is a well known rapper and music industry mogul. The fact that he has been busted for possession of marijuana is not particularly unusual or even unexpected. What caught my eye is the fact that he was busted after Texas border patrol agents used a drug-sniffing dog to determine that drugs were located on his tour bus.
Listen, I do not profess to be a narcotics agent. Nor do I contend to be any type crime scene investigator. But, is it really necessary to have a drug dog sniff Snoop Doggs bus?
I am willing to bet that one could take a casual glance around the bus one time and probably be overwhelmed with marijuana smoke. It would probably take Snoop Dogg several days to rid the bus of all reminents of past dope-smoking excursions.
Despite this fact, the border patrol unleashed the drug-sniffing dogs. Well, according to police reports, Snoop Dogg admitted that prescription bottles filled with marijuana were his and he was let go on bond to appear in court on Jan. 20.
On another news note, I read where Melanie Hesketch, a California nutritionist, bought a McDonalds
