Cool!  Great news from Hawaii!  The shape of things to come?

 It's a shame that we can't get rid of the parasites from ASH by getting drunk...

Great links, Dick. 

Loving Hawaii giving two fingers to the fASHists.  :)  OK, perhaps it's just the middle finger.

Does anyone apart from me hate the term "sin tax" in respect of smoking and drinking? As if to equate these lifestyle choices with real sins, such as, I dunno, murder and theft?  I would, however, strongly support the use of "sin tax" if we limited it so specifically taxing politicians for being grubby, thieving bastards.
