The blog post “Medicinal Marijuana” by Shawnta Anderson is written in a clear and concise manner. It is easy to follow, and the main points are clearly outlined. It is clear that the author is arguing for the legalization of marijuana. Shawnta does a great job comparing marijuana to alcohol and demonstrates that alcohol is often more dangerous than marijuana. She states two reasons why alcohol is dangerous: liver disease and poison to the body.

The U.S. Government in 2010
Our government is in a place where action is crucial. The economy is down and people are losing jobs by the hundreds. Obama conducted his campaign based on “change” and a new beginning for our country. However, since his election, the American people are still waiting for things to look up. Many of my fellow republicans claim that Obama is only creating more problems within our government and making the economy worse. Although Obama did not have my vote, he won the election. He has been placed in power over our country. Therefore, I feel a sense of submission and support him in leading our country.

Blog Critique
The Smirking Chimp is a left leaning blog. Writers who post within this blog have fairly liberal views and are often against conservative views. The writer of this post, Rose Aguilar, is a woman. She is extremely interested in women’s issues and activism. She has interviewed several people about different political issues. She has also hosted a radio station. Therefore, I believe that the source is quite credible. Aguilar is well known and is an active member in several different organizations. I presume that since she has run a few political talk shows, she has a fair amount of knowledge.
