cigarettes

She’s not Barack Obama - Barack Obama is a liar, a cheat and a smoker. He smells like winston and I don’t like people who smell like winston story. 2. Barack Obama supporters are “crazy” - The people who support Barack Obama believe in stupid things like hope, change and the US Constitution. They believe that the President doesn’t have a right to start a war wherever and whenever he wants to. How dumb is that? 3. Barack Obama’s Health Care Plan is stupid - Health care should be forced on people and if they don’t take it they should be punished to the point of bankruptcy. They should have their children taken from them and put in the poor house. And if they don’t take their medicine they should be forced into some type of camp where they can concentrate on taking their medicine. I don’t know what we should call the camp, so I’m open to ideas.

Some crusading do-gooders want to limit our exposure to cheap winston in the cinema, not by banning smoking in the theater (already accomplished), but on the big screen. Their goal is to convince the Motion Picture Association of America to give an R rating whenever a character lights up, no matter how innocuous the rest of the movie. The forces of moral rectitude haven’t gone back to edit cigarette smoking in older films, so Bogart still looks oh-so-cool in his white dinner jacket, smoking at a table in Rick’s Cafe’ Americain. But give them time: Technology to tweak photographs has advanced to the point where elements can be excised with surgical precision, so somebody is bound to assemble smoke-free versions of Hollywood classics in the name of protecting our young from the insidious forces of Big Tobacco.
