If you're going to shill for the world's deadliest corporations, be a bit stealthy about it

Hmmm, let's see what's in the paper this morning [takes a sip of that sweet liberal latté]…
Oh, here's an article in the Washington Post about the "bogus science" behind all that second-hand smoke stuff. Apparently, "some policymakers and activists are even claiming that the government should crack down on secondhand smoke exposure, given what 'the science' indicates about such exposure."
You have to put "science" in scare quotes -- those egg-headed "scientists" are all squarely behind that insidious and ever-growing Nanny State.
It says here that not only is second-hand smoke harmless, it actually makes your breath minty-fresh and gives men harder, longer-lasting erections. I did not know that.
I wonder who penned this little piece?
