Roll Your Own (RYO) Cigarettes Extinguished By Too Much Government

    About a year ago I discovered RYO cigarettes after smoking Newports for years. At $50 a carton, Newports were no longer an option. I replaced them with a cigarette that had none of the harsh chemicals that Big Tobacco adds. At half the price how could you beat that!

Jackass of the month, Senator Max Baucus

    With every good thing in your life, something bad almost always comes along. Enter Montana Senator Max Baucus(D).....  Senator Baucus added an amendment to the transportation bill that changed the definition of a cigarette manufacturer to cover thousands of roll-your-own operations nationwide. The move, backed by major tobacco companies, is aimed at boosting tax revenues. Something smells fishy here right? And what in the hell does tobacco have to do with transportation you ask.... Not a damn thing! The man who pushed for this amendment  received donations from Altria, a parent company of Philip Morris. Interestingly enough, there are also no RYO machines in the state of Montana.This just proves that our elected officials are some crooked bastards. This also proves that less government is better. This one amendment caused 40 people in just one city to lose their jobs. Multiply that by a couple hundred cities and you get thousands of jobs killed by one jackass. No wonder Democrats can't get unemployment below 8.2%.  In my opinion Sen. Max Baucus should be the one unemployed and he should to be forced to smoke a whole carton of those nasty Newports.

    As for my RYO smoking, I have had to go low tech. Max Baucus will have to pry my cigarette machine from my cold dead hands!

It's mine, and you can't have it, Max!
