See just when I am about as sick of the Repulicans as I can get some donkey shows up and reminds me why I keep looking for an independent to vote for. Its the idea that a cigar smokers want to hear from this guy, and Rocky Decades getting a 95 rating that keep me passing right on by this mag.

Holy effin, wtf. I was just reading about this tax.

Congress may be on the verge of increasing tobacco taxes to expand the federal SCHIP health care program so that it covers not only low-income households but also, potentially, households making up to $83,000 per year. Cigarette taxes would rise 61 cents to $1, while taxes on premium cigars would go up from 5 cents to as much as $10. Bush has threatened to veto the expansion as too costly, but since the Senate voted for the bill by a 68-to-31 margin, it is possible that the Congress will pass it over his veto.
