It’s always the object a never the person: it is not the individual’s fault for choosing to smoke- it’s the fault of the darn cigarette for existing. And gang killings and mass shootings are never the fault of the killers- rather they are the fault of the guns for existing.

How many Senators and Congressmen (AND WOMEN) smoke cigars? Big stinky ones! Lots. Frequently. Secretly.

Hell, Bill Clinton used ‘em in the oval office. I don’t know if he ever smoked one or not though.

I’m telling you right now, the day is coming when the Federal government (or other State/local gov’t agency) is going to issue guidelines on the correct way to wipe our arses.

If I didn’t use up my one square of toilet-paper today, can I use two tomorrow, or doesn’t it carry over?

I’m tired of all you people saying that. California, Oregon, Washington- All states that are declared substantially conservative except for the population centers! You live in a liberal state. Deal with it.

And I mean that seriously. You all need to build a grass-roots organization to beat back the commies at every level of government. To include poll watchers in King County (WA), Chicago with salmon, where election after election more people vote than are legally on the voter rolls.

I understand vitamin B might help with your weariness.

Oregon is far more than Portland. We aren’t like Washington or Illinois. We are far less liberal than three of the five Pacific states, and there is real hope for the future.

Perhaps you might want to include dark leafy vegetables in your diet? Bananas, maybe?

Would-be petty tyrants like Greenlick can lick my (bleeped).

Oregon is a substantially conservative/libertarian place; assuming Portlandia is granted statehood so the rest of us can get back to normal.

But let’s be honest about the winner’s bill. It’s about collecting the $6,250 from smokers- not about the jail time.

Here’s another thing that came to me the other day re: illegal immigration and progs. I hate every aspect of the situation we’re in and I am surrounded by what I assume are many illegals here in Houston. I honestly believe if I got dropped off in a crowd of Spanish speaking poor Mexicans vs. finding myself surrounded by the unionistas of Ohio or Wisconsin I would fare much better with the alien Mexicans. At least we’d have more in common temperament wise.

Why, a hospital emergency room! Now imagine 100 smokers in the same fix. Worse, they’re dying for a smoke but are at the bottom of the list because of real emergencies like injuries in an auto accident. And they keep getting bumped.

It’ll be in short order to answer the question of who riots first, the hospital staff or the ‘patient’. Plus, smokers are brand-loyal. What if the hospital or drug store is out of a person’s brand? We might see a sharp uptick in the murders of pharmacists because of this cockamamie idea.

and if you disobey, you could be looking at a fine of $6,250, up to a year in prison, or both

Unless you’re an illegal alien. Then you get 10 packs a week, a free bic lighter and a case of beer too.

Thats logic right there!

Notice how normal the guy at the end seems. That is some strange stuff up there in Oregon isn’t it?

Yup, makes idiocy seem normal. People do know that no matter what they do, they are all going to die at some point, right? I’d rather die with more rather than less of my freedoms intact. And, I have never smoked a cigarette in my life.
