This PI report , which concerns a retired Tacoma police officer (Copland, 64) who shot dead his fishing partner last week, points out that “Copland once saved the life of a shooting victim by plugging the wound in the victim’s chest with a cigarette pack.” For this achievement, he “received the department’s lifesaving award.” Two things: one, here we finally have incontestable proof that cigarettes aren’t always bad to human health; two, will the Tacoma’s police department demand he return the “lifesaving award,” seeing that Copland is back to zero (one life added; one life subtracted)?

Every so often i receive a piece of junk mail that is actually worth something. Such is the case with this piece of junk that slipped into my account yesterday and was written by a man/woman named Kitanin Stafano (Massaccesi@elong.com) : “Most likely communism can’t be established. But impotency can be treated! Go on, give it a try. You’ll sure enjoy it! Cialis Softtabs: http://unglazed.net/now/
Discreet, unmarked packaging.”

Utterly brilliant.
