The House of Representatives votes 298-to-112 to approve sweeping legislation to bring tobacco under control of the Food and Drug Administration for the first time. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/04/02/house-approves-plan-fda-regulatory-power-tobacco/
Well, when you get right down to it, nicotine is a powerful drug. There’s no denying that.
So does that mean the ATF will now be the AF? Isn’t there some rule that all government agencies have 3 initials?
where does the Oldsmobile 88 rank?

Teddy obviously forgot about cars and Crown Royal... Funny how they never raise the price of liquor in one huge jump!
As a smoker, I’ll do it “My Way” and I resent what they are doing. My grandparents smoked, my mother smoked, I smoked and raised 4 healthy children, healthier than average in fact.
Just wait everyone, they will come for your Big Mac soon!
They keep raising tax on tobacco to make money for SCHIPS. What happens when people stop buying because of the cost?
Teddy forgets himself ( forgetting that we are still listening ) when he drinks too much.
I didn’t know he was well enough to still be making political comments.
He is the last one to be “moralizing” at this time in his life.
I think the Olds 88 ranks right between [you must have seen this coming] the Olds 87 and Olds 89.
Thanks geo.
