Damn Busybodies

You'd think that our august 'leaders' in Washington would have better things to do than waste everyone's time with this nonsense:

A bill before the U.S. House of Representatives' Judiciary Committee could outlaw the shipping of cigars through the U.S. mail. The Senate has already passed its version of the legislation, and major cigar retailers and the Cigar Association of America are lobbying to keep it from being passed. "

The nature of the cigar business doesn't lend itself to the level of retail penetration that cigarettes get, which makes mail order and internet sales very important.

I'm getting sick and tired of these damn government busybodies sticking their noses into the tiniest thing that is pleasurable. If these bastards get their way I'm going to have to drive all over the damn place to get my occasional stogie.

You know, it's the little things that slowly push you over the edge...
