First laugh of the day

Tobacco Companies Sue Over Labels - The Daily Beast: "Five tobacco companies have sued the FDA to overturn a law requiring graphic health warnings on cigarette packages. The companies argue that the new labels, which cover 50 percent of packages and include images of dead bodies and rotten teeth, will make customers 'depressed, discouraged and afraid” of their products."

I hate the TV ads that show people having coughing fits and think there is overkill involved. But I have no sympathy with the current efforts of big tobacco to push their products on the poor nations. That is sick avoidance of the writing on the wall and conscious murder. It is against the law of Abba. There is another thing. I betcha dollars to donuts that anti-regulator Rick Perry is on tobacco's side, litigation and all.
