I just heard on CNN that there is a plan to ban the sale of cigarettes on military bases and ships.

First of all, this is gratuitous torture inflicted on people who have already given up a lot. Second, the hypocrisy of sending people to die in combat yet pretending to care about their health is offensive. And third, this is an obvious attempt to sabotage the Democratic election campaign and should be denounced as such.

    Since the ban’s chief supporters on Capitol Hill are prominent Democratic senators, why do you consider this (bad) idea a partisan attempt to sabotage Democrats in the elections?

      It can also be self-sabotage, of course. I wouldn’t put it past them.

    The PXs won’t want to lose that revenue. Never happen.

      Let’s make it one! Now we just need a prize for whoever comes up with the best “idiocy mushrooms” (I assume the judge will be Clarissa).

      parameters: the recipe has to not only taste good but have some element of idiocy/irrationality in it.
