From a Times article about raising the cigarette tax and taxing Indian reservation cigarette sales to reservation non-residents, which, UGH. Contra the headline, I smoke and run. Why should I pay an extra dollar-per-pack because Paterson’s too fucking inept to run the state government. I kind of hope there is a war between the Indians and NY tax collectors.

Also, there’s a story directly below the above-quoted story making fun of politicians for trying to justify increased ‘vice’ taxes on the grounds of improving health. What, are Times headline writers being passive aggressive, today?
