My guess is that the safest place on the golf course, when "Twinkie"
Troll Shane is playing would, no doubt, be in the fairway. LOL!

But I digress, the big news is the sick addicts latest troll-dropping
numbers:

43,908 on more than 600 newsgroups. Forty-four thou' is just a matter
of time (and very little time based upon this obsessed whack-job's
past performances). Can you believe it possible that a human being
can lay down 44,000 pieces of useless crap and still never recognize
that he's sick??

143 in September already. That would be 20.5 a day if you're keeping
score at home.

  Poisoned tobacco suspected in soldiers' illnesses in Afghanistan

Poisoned tobacco suspected in soldiers' illnesses in Afghanistan

Concern that two U.S. soldiers in Eastern Afghanistan may have been poisoned
by locally bought tobacco has prompted at least one U.S. brigade to bar
troops from buying cigarettes or dip on the Afghan economy.

"The preventive function of government, however, is far more liable to be abused, to the prejudice of liberty, than the punitory function; for there is hardly any part of the legitimate freedom of action of a human being which would not admit of being represented, and fairly too, as increasing the facilities for some form or other of delinquency."

Good job, the link doesn't work. I trimmed it to http://pactonline.org/new/ and got the
propaganda.

Probably an old committment. To see what RWJF is up to, go to their web site, don't try to
discern it from secondary sources.

I'm amazed at how out of touch antis are with their puppet masters. But they march with
the banner held high, bright eyes and a stupid grin on their faces, because they're sure
they're right. They remind me of Moonies, Hare Krishnas and Seventh Day Adventists.

  Robert, is this the kind of place you're afraid will go out of business?

The owner said he is retired, on Social Security and makes little
money running the bar, which is a narrow corner rowhouse with worn
stools and cheap beer. He advertises $1 drafts, and inside there are
six taps, all Budweiser. He said between the smoking ban, the higher
costs for electricity and gas and his $2,000-a month rent, "If I make
$30 a night, it's a blessing."

  Smokers pout like two-year-olds

On Wednesday night, Brint's Diner in south Wichita took the ashtrays
off the tables, and workers put up no smoking signs Thursday morning.

Eva Shaddox says smokers grumbled at the ban at first, but they still
came in to eat Thursday morning.

"They haven't been happy about it," says Shaddox. "Some of the people
said that they wouldn't come back, but I don't know that that's really
going to happen because I've already seen some of them in here."

  President Palin?         


Author: Bruce Watson
Date: Sep 5, 2008 15:55

John McCain's smoking history and age
indicate Sarah Palin would have as high as a 40 percent chance of
becoming U.S. president, a university professor says.

McCain, 72, a former smoker poised to become the Republican
presidential nominee, has about a 20 percent of dying in office and a
higher rate of disability, John Banzhaf, George Washington University
professor, said Wednesday in a release.

McCain's smoking history boosts his risk of dying from lung cancer by
about 700 percent, and his risk of dying of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease also is greater, Banzhaf said.

McCain has a 10-year death rate of between 35 percent and 50 percent,
the professor said.

Chronic smoking is not freedom of choice. Nicotine is the reason.
