What is their take on the $17T debt? Or the NSA scandal? OR the IRS scandal? Or the Benghazi scandal?

What's the television "news" sound byte potential of those topics?

“We were all veterans of the tobacco wars,” Durbin said during a Senate Commerce Committee

There is that Marxist slip showing again - declaring "war" on private enterprise in a free market.

[CSM]

Yep, and more than a few FReepers celebrated the victories in the war on tobacco.

I’ll have to try that out. I usually prefer the full drink to the shots, but it could be a way to sneak in more water.

[Conspiracy Guy]

It never ends.

[CSM]

And it never will.

When the goal is to suck all the joy and choices out of life, there are plenty of folks of both major parties willing to jump on board.

"B's" and "SOB's".

Pretty soon, they'll drive the whole economy underground. Then what?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Death by a thousand cuts.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Yes, we can have a massive energy-drink lawsuit by the states, which will be settled for hundreds of millions of dollars going to state health spending programs. Yeah, surrrrre they’ll go there, surrrrre.

Nanny State PING!
