Fascism in our midst!
Cigarettes (at least, B&Hs) are up to $7.65 at the convenience store downstairs. Sammy, our lovable adoptive Palestinian convenience store owner who claims to love America and freedom has clearly given himself over to FASCISM. I accused him of this; he reasserted his love for freedom and democracy and added that this means I should quit smoking. He's probably right and of course the new tax isn't his fault, but still. FASCISM.
Bah.
EDIT (noting, of course, that while Jerrod thinks that Jimmy Carter is history's greatest villain, I reserve that title for the Gipper):
