If they are so concerned with health, why stop with the butts? Let's target the fatties out there also.

Ditto, and on potato chips, ice cream, candy bars, pizza etc. Tax everthing. Hey, what the heck, let's pass mandatory pedestrian insurance too with a small fine for not carrying your ID card and a hefty one for failure to have the insurance at all. You never know when you'll slip on the ice or a tree branch will fall on your noggin. Suck it all up. People are already giving half their pay up without a fight. It's like battered wife syndrome. They just keep returning for more.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Cancer

Mercury turning retro is offering you the chance to make sweeping and long-lasting changes to your life, and to clear the ground for some fertile growth in 2010. Lawyers and legal matters, debates, contract negotiations, partnership or other alliances, and joint ventures of any kind need attention. As a Cancerian you don't like endings, but you must now bring an end to any situation or relationship that is holding you back or has passed its sell-by date. Look forward, not back, if you want a glittering future.
