Our old buddies the cigarette manufacturers are suing foreign governments over proposed new marketing regulations.

Is there no end to the venality?

Free since January 2009. Thank you IAC and catching upper respiratory infection that pushed me into "Here is your reason".
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

400,000 needless deaths a year.

Four hundred thousand.

And, to keep us safe, they're making us take off our shoes before we board an aircraft?

That illustration up there is amazingly repulsive. It is. It is almost like an awful interior decorator whose signature project becomes a grotesquely fascinating study of ruin.
