Attorney Peter G. Angelos will receive $150 million over five years for his work on Maryland's tobacco lawsuit under a deal with Gov. Parris N. Glendening that will end an unseemly three-year fight between the state's top Democrats and their party's biggest financial contributor.

While some elements were still being negotiated, the governor said he had reached an "agreement in principle" with Angelos to settle a dispute that could have cost the state much more.

If Baltimore is lucky, he'll take his money, find a nice secluded island somewhere, sell the Orioles, and retire. Angelos is the worst thing to happen to the Orioles since the franchise was acquired.

With the smokers going underground, how much money will the states and lawyers really get, a lot less than anticipated.

Got my fingers crossed, Great Dane, that some enterprising entrepreneur will unveil a truly automatic cigarette machine at the International Tobacco Exposition in Las Vegas early next month.
