GIMME A J!

The Super Bowl featured cheerleaders for the Pats, the Panthers...and
blunts. The Medical Marijuana Cheerleaders hit the big game in order
to, as ringleader Tracy Blevins said, "bogart some of the media
coverage." Blevins, a native Houstonian who ran for New York City
comptroller as a member of the Marijuana Reform Party (and what a
party it no doubt is), led the crew in shout-outs and cheers downtown
and at the stadium. "We even upstaged the Dallas Cowboys
cheerleaders," member Steven Nolin said. "We got a lot of thumbs-up
from the police and fire departments doing security." Of course, they
didn't exactly flare one up in front of them.
