Excerpt:

Modern Drunkard, the magazine with the slogan, "Standing up for your right to get falling down drunk since 1996," published the best editorial disclaimer of the year:

"Views expressed in this magazine do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Modern Drunkard staff or publisher. In fact, I would like to take this opportunity to deny everything. Your honor, I was never even near the place and what's more, those are not my trousers and those are most assuredly not my friends. They are merely a drunken and surly gang of hitchhikers I made the terrible, terrible mistake of giving a lift. I promise to be good. Really. I swear."

2. High Times...ran a story about Iraq

Like nearly every other American magazine, High Times, the marijuana mag, ran a story about the war in Iraq. The High Times piece was by a pseudonymous soldier who smoked hashish in Iraq and found that the war was, like, a real buzzkill. "The surroundings," he wrote, "were never very conducive to a complete enjoyment of the high."
