William N. Rice is a pissant little mobster
Yesterday on Fox News, I witnessed Washington State's Actiing Director of the Department of Revenue, William N. Rice, declaim his belief that tax-free internet sale of tobacco products to Washingtonians is "a slap in the face" to those who pay the confiscatory taxes customary on cigarettes in his state. His argument is morally equivalent to that of a mugger asserting that a potential victim who successfully avoids being mugged (e.g. by being armed, avoiding dangerous places, etc.) is somehow culpable for not having been mugged. Rat bastard mobster.
I don' t smoke cigarettes, but I will redouble my efforts to avoid taxes when buying my cigars from now on, just to spite him and pissants like him. Yes, I'm a political smoker nowadays. That makes me and people like me "political niccers"... are you one too?

Thumbing my nose at gummymint adds a bit of flavor to the cigar for me, but if I didn't fundamentally enjoy the experience, I wouldn't do it at all.
Thanks for the cigar recommendation; got any more? I'm still in the formative stages of that particular recently (in recent years, I mean) acquired taste.
