Brad Pitt On Atheism, Pot Legalization

I was just watching Real Time With Bill Maher and Brad Pitt was his first interview. He had a lot of great things to say about his views on religion, the program he's developing to help New Orleans and the fact that he's for legalization and taxation of Marijuana. You can catch some transcriptions from his latest interviews on The Examiner.

The day before the Bill Maher interview, which aired last night, Brad was on the Today Show. He was asked, by Ann Curry, about the Brad Pitt for Mayor movement, which is a grass-roots movement started by Dr. Thomas Bayer of Tulane University to get Brad elected mayor of New Orleans in 2010 (there is a petition you can sign that currently has 399 signatures).

He was asked, "If chosen, would you run?" To which he replied, "Yeah. Yeah." Then he was asked, "Would you serve?" He said, "Yeah. I'm running on the 'gay marriage, no religion, legalization and taxation of marijuana' platform."

He went on to say a couple of times, "I don't have a chance."

I sometimes forget that some celebrities are actually pretty cool. Make sure to watch the latest Real Time With Bill Maher to see for yourself. Bill mentions in the interview that many years ago at a party Brad was sitting on the floor and he could roll the best, most perfect "better than a cigarette" joints. Go Brad!
