Starbucks is enforcing it on e cigs too.

Not that I would ever pay $6 for coffee, but as others have pointed out...their house, their rules. Private property. If they want to ban anything it’s their business.

But stupid liberal social engineering tricks won’t work on ecigs. You don’t have to exhale the vapor. Take a small drag and hold it for 2 seconds. No visible vapor.

This cat herding is hard work. It sucks to be a statist who’s trying to change the world.

Human nature is Impossible to change.

There is only one problem. The kids like cupcakes. It’s as natural as a foal (baby horse) getting up and walking and then trotting after being born.

If you think the job of free-market and freedom loving people is hard...

Try being on the other side. Everything you do is against the law of human nature. Then they wonder why they always fail...Eventually.

I respect the Constitution. All amendments including the 5th.

Can we get a bipartisan coalition to pass another amendment?...

If you are a public servant and work for us, you can’t plead the 5th. But you can be given immunity from prosecution.

Alamo-girl, can you do me a favor and replace your “thanks for the ping” to a different one. Not that I don’t love it.:-)

Just respond with: “coercing citizens to eat right, excercize and quit smoking is NOT a legitimate gubmint function. Unless they are paying for your healthcare costs.”

If Jesus could suffer and die on a cross, the DOJ is nothing.

The sheeple/fellow citizens/publik serpents in charge will change.

That’s fine with me and every other taxpayer. You are relying on somebody else to feed you. Remember the old line that your mom and dad told you. Our house our rules. Now shut up and eat your veggies.

Have at it with your menu. Let them eat brussels sprouts.

Just leave freedom loving people alone.

They voted to be a ward of the state. It’s not very complicated government is paying for your health care, your housing. Their money their rules. Or more accurately our money and our rules. Drop the Chalupa.

Or they can leave their parents basement and Obama’s plantation. And grow up.

There are no government Research grants to study global cooling.

How the hell are the grant junkies supposed to make enough money to pay the lease on their Mercedes-Benz E350?

Congress loaned General Motors $50 billion in 2009.... uh no, the American taxpayers were forced to loan GM $50 billion in 2009

It’s amazing what $50 billion of our money given involuntarily to a company can do.

Their cars are really good now. I drove the Cadillac ATS. The car corners like it’s on rails. But the CUE system needs a lot of work. I’m going to wait until 2014 until they work the bugs out.

Another sign of the impending apocalypse.

Can you buy detroit if you win the powerball?

___________________________

You can buy Detroit for a used Preparation H wipe. But you will assume the billions in debt.

It’s like getting a bargain on a used lime green Pinto with the gas tank on fire.

Emperor Bloomberg in New York has billions of dollars. But yet he is spending his time controlling other people’s lives and he loves it so much that he wanted a third term in office.

It’s about power and ego.

Power must be a very great drug. Why would anybody in their right mind want to be mayor of Detroit except that and some cool stationery?

If you were doing it just because you’re a public servant then you’re like Gandhi or Mother Teresa, then you have our undying respect.

More likely you ran for office because you have a huge ego you think you’re smarter than everybody else and you were looking to get rich.

Obama is a blank canvas that statists in the left wing media can project onto.

Much like Iron Man and Terminator movies it’s all fake.

Mariano Rivera is a devout Christian and a man of faith. He can throw a ball within 2mm of where he is aiming.

Tebow can’t do the job. throwing a football into a 3 foot window while a bunch of 300 pound guys are trying to kill you is a tough job.

There are only 20 people on the planet who can do it well at the NFL level. He is not one of them.

You are right. There is some weird stuff going on. I don’t know what it is.

Fortunately, I’ve been on airline flights where guys have been downing cashews and peanuts and almonds. Nobody got sick.

Never heard of any of this.

In countries where people are really starving and dying of hunger, they would kill you for a nut and gluten filled dairy snack. They would club Michele Obama over the head like a baby seal for a Big Mac.

Airborn stuff?

I dont know what is going on. These allergies never existed when I was a kid. Maybe the liberal food supply chemical and conspiracy theories have some merit. Or they could be hypochondriacs.

Some of the moms who are convinced their kid is allergic to airborne nuts are flat out wrong.

Lol. There are some things money can’t buy. For everything else there is the Race Card.

I’m sorry. I don’t have the stomache to follow this story. God bless anyone who does. You are a braver person than me. Can’t even read about it, I get so nauseated. Those poor innocent babies. My nephew was born at 25 weeks. Now he is Hugh:-) at 15 months.

Any time I see an article about it I go to the NY Post sports section.

It’s too much.

You are 114 years old and smoke.:-)

Drano blames his bad genes and parents death on cigarettes. Ignore him. He is a witless and very disturbed and angry individual.

Smoking cigarettes is the least of our problem with kids. This is not the 1950s.

Now they just play video games all day and abuse prescription painkillers.

Social engineering leftists are relentless and agenda driven.

It’s not good or easy enough for gays to start their own boys club, they have to take over others and force them to adhere to the agenda.

They already have their own group...NAMBLA.

Liberal logic is baffling:

Abortion is a choice
Smoking is murder

Incrementalism works. If you can get the activists to shut the hell up.

I don’t think that is true 96.5% of the time. The judge, ref, umpire, linesman, broadcaster just wants to be fair and get paid.

They don’t care who wins.

This is just the yentas and realtors/medical equipment/part time city council people deciding this in a basement. Meaningless.

Tell it to a judge.

I hope these Federal bankruptcy judges know how important their decisions are for the broader economy.

If the precedent is that non GO muni bond holders take a back seat like GM bondholders...game over. Shut out of the bond market.

Henceforth, you will be known as poopyface.

My attorney put in the word henceforth.

Nothing in this budget proposal is actually going to get through the House or even see the floor.

Its a federal tax so it doesn’t help the honest entrepeneurs involved in state to state cigarette tax arbitrage. (I won’t call them smugglers, the real criminals are greedy statists who rob people of their money for their own good of course).

Did you see Emperor Bloomberg’s ad?

Toothless goober, sitting on a pick up with his finger on the trigger, saying he agrees with him...

Who casts and writes this stuff? Can you be any more condescending and out of touch?

The ad agency should be fired.

You may be right. France is our guinea pig in the experiment. It probably won’t end well.

But the Muslim guys have to marry multiple women. They don’t know what their wives look like until they take their burqa off. No wonder why they are angry and want to blow stuff up.

Allah, why you curse me with another ugly fat one who won’t stop talking?

Sorry, I didn’t mean to hijack your post.

But polygamy makes more sense in the natural order of human nature than gay marriage.

+1.

You may be speaking to one of his descendants.:-)

Polygamy is already going on. In a demented, sad and unsustainable way.

Just because it’s not “legal” doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

Antonio Cromartie has nine children with eight women in six states.
That’s one more kid than the eight he haltingly listed last month when asked to name his children on HBO’s reality show “Hard Knocks.”
Maybe the oversight is because his pressures as a pro football player pale against the soap opera of his life off the field. He juggles daddy duties for a 6-month-old girl with his wife, model Terricka Cason, plus eight kids up to age 5 from women he knocked up.
At only 26, Cromartie’s conquests range from a then-17-year-old girl in his hometown Tallahassee to a lawyer and beauty queen.
The 6-foot-2, 210-pound former San Diego Charger has left a nationwide trail of paternity suits, visitation agreements and child-support orders totaling tens of thousands of dollars a month. Last March, the Jets fronted him $500,000 of his salary to pay at least $25,000 in arrears and other custody-related costs. He’s in the final year of a five-year, $12.5 million contract.
“All that glitters really isn’t gold,” ex-fiancée Rhonda Patterson, a corporate lawyer and former Miss Black North Carolina, said of the charismatic Cromartie, who fathered her 2-year-old daughter, London.

This guy is a train wreck. Good luck to the baby mamas trying to collect $7,000/mo child support when he is injured and his career is over.

King Ramses in ancient Egypt had thousands of children.

You are an informed independent thinker.

Social engineering only works on your lazy friends who don’t read.

It does work though.

Polygamy is hardly an ancient practice. It goes on now.

Serial monogamous relationships happen in Hollywood and the local dive bar all the time. 48% of births are out of wedlock.

I’m indirectly making your point.

There doesn’t have to be any physical contact. I know older siblings who live together and would like to take advantage of the federal marital deduction exemption.

From a strictly Darwinian natural law of procreation, polygamy makes more sense then sticking a penis in some guys anus.

Emperor Bloomberg smoked 3 packs a day for years. If its so horrible...Why isn’t he dead already?

I agree.

But use that question for liberals on other sites.

Please do the honors.

What I am trying to explain to undecided and liberal low information voters on various websites is not my thesis. It’s Milton Friedmans’. Since my adopted grandpa is “dead” it’s up to me to copy and paste it in 2013....

You can not have BOTH open borders AND a generous collective welfare state with free benefits. Pick one.

LIBERAL LOGIC:

Abortion is a choice
Smoking is murder

But then again, if government and your fellow taxpaying citizens are paying for your healthcare what you eat drink and do becomes everyone’s business. It’s our money.

Welcome to the Brave New World of “public health”.

This is an interesting theoretical debate.

Like: who was a better hitter? Roy Hobbs or Pedro Cerano.

I was born 30 years too late.:-)

My uncles had a great time. I had a good time while freedom lasted.

Today’s kids get wheat pizza with low fat cheese and celery for school lunch.

No wonder some of them inhale aerosol cans and play video games all day.

There is a reason that 4 of the richest counties in America are around DC PING!

Who needs to work for a living when you can lobby lawmakers to whack your competition?

The reason why this is important goes beyond smoking. I can respect that people think the smell of burning leaves is stinky and smelly. I can understand why you want your 76 year old grandpa to quit.

This is about abuse of power and illegal lobbying.

I also realize that this piece was in a convenience store newspaper. They have skin in the game.

But it's as well written as anything in the NY Times or WaPo.

I didn't believe the Obama Romney In trade odds either, turned out that they were right.):-
