You Must Be Smoking

California smokers descended en masse at the California town of Calabasas today to protest the city’s newly passed outdoor smoking ban. Over 50,000 angry demonstrators lit up in unison at the beginning of the three-mile march to show their contempt for the new law. While it should be noted that over 98% of the protesters were unable to actually finish the march, those who did believe they were sending an important message.
Joel Martinson, organizer of the March said, “We’re (cough cough) not (cough cough) going to be (wheeze) treated as (pant) second-class…” Sadly, Joel was one of the 28 people who died before crossing the finish line, and was therefore unavailable for further comment. There were no reports of violence.
Look. I’m no fan of smoking. I’ve never even touched a cigarette. My tastes notwithstanding, there is one thing I find infinitely more offensive: when people use the government as a weapon for the destruction of individual liberty.

Somehow, I just don't think this would be the same if I just told you about it.
A guy can dream, I guess.

“Guess what? Today someone compared me to Dave Barry!”
“Really?”
“Yeah. He said, ‘You’re nothing like Dave Barry.
You suck.’”
The Taste of Freedom

In her Salt Lake Tribune article, “Busting Utah's Beer Myths” (March 1), Kathy Stephens claims that Corona Extra beer sold in Utah contains the same percentage of alcohol as in Mexico or anywhere else. Wait a minute! Am I the only one in Utah who remembers that up until recently, Corona Extra was 4.6% alcohol by volume and only available in STATE CONTROLLED liquor stores?
I don't know any beer drinkers who think that the point of making beer is to brew for as much alcohol as possible. With the possible exception of college frat houses, most people want a beer that tastes good first. It's none of the government's damn business whether the one I like happens to meet their completely arbitrary standard.
It's not the extra percent of alcohol that makes the beer in Evanston better. It's the taste of freedom.

"Dad?"
"Yes, princess?"
"If Animal Planet only showed cats, do you know what they'd call it?"
"What?"
"Cat Planet! And if they only showed dogs, it would be Dog Planet!"
"What if they only showed donkeys?"
(Snicker)
"Ass Planet!"
