Insanity

Even reasonable arguments are made badly in The State.

At 7 cents a pack — the nation’s lowest, 93 cents below the national average — we practically beg kids to smoke.

Look, we're not "begging teenagers to smoke" since teenage smoking is illegal. Maybe it's the right thing to raise cigarette taxes, maybe it's not. But taking thing A (too low taxes on cigarettes) and characterizing it as Thing B (an "invitation to smoke") you're demonstrating a disconnect from reality.

Zzzzzz Boring. Bubba must have been cleaning out Jake's dog pen and did not have time to think. Bubba is not really known for thinking.

Bubba's masters will cut his pay if he stays this lazy with his posts.

Merry Christmas! Bubba, you are paid by Slugs. If you are paid by Slugs, you are a Slug. Slugs are slimy.

Yeaaa, though we walk through the Valley of the Shadow of the Slugs we will fear no Slugs. For we are the Mother of all Slugs.

Merry Christmas, and to all of you Slugs, a Good Night.

Geeezeweezeee. This blog gets sucked off topic so easy. And we select our words so very carefully.

Frankly, The State was right on the mark with this just as they are so very often. Cig taxes need to go to the roof. Tax them out of this world.
