Is this all they can come up with as news?
I’d walk a mile for a Babrak Karmal.
“president has issued a decree raising the sales tax on cigarettes by up to 50 percent and on beer by 200 percent.”
Barry wants a revolt? Try that here.
And we think the ragheads were crazy before. Now they are economically cut off from booze and cigarettes, watch for heads to roll...literally.
Worthy Oriental Gentlemen of The Moon God persuasion are forbidden alcohol. (They drive quite badly enough without it.) So how do the Gippos raise any money with a tax on Beer? The Copts can't be drinking all that much, considering that every time they pop down to the corner store, they run the risk of crucifixion at the hands of a howling mob of goat-buggering Muslims.
PS, the beer in Alexandria used to be the real German-brewed thing. Hope the camel humpers haven't ended that!
