Tobacco bucks
Dave Barry has this whole war on tobacco thing figured out. What he writes makes more sense than anything I have read or heard thus far. It’s all about money. How to put more of it in the pockets of the politicians. Isn’t that true with just about anything these days?
I really miss that television show where what’s-his-name (you know, the guy from Night Court… what is his name?) played Dave Barry. I liked that show. Wonder who I can bribe to have it brought back? (yah, sure, like I could afford to bribe anybody.)
I am almost positive it would beat out John Ritter and his umpteen rules for dating his teenage daughter in the ratings.
I liked Night Court too, by the way.
Why can’t I remember his name?

Wasn’t that Harry Anderson??? I think that was his name. Hmmm….what ever happened to him???!
Harry Anderson! Thanks! I was about to explode my brain trying to think of his name. I imagine he is probably doing card tricks in some off the strip club in Las Vegas now.
I’ve got an idea, why don’t we use the tobacco money to help the farmers plant alternate crops. De-criminalize hemp and let them grow that.
We could do that, but we are already giving the money to the tobacco farmers, so they can grow more tobacco to sell to the tobacco companies so the tobacco companies can sell their cigarrettes to teenagers and make lots of money so they can afford to pay the big fines and taxes levied upon them by the politicians and lawyers, and the politicians and lawyers can get rich(er).
night court was the best show ever. that other show was also good.
