I liken our candidates to a fine smoke..... :)
I don't see these as negatives btw, just a little fun. Feel free to re-write as you see fit :)

Hillary is like a pack of smokes you buy at the store. Already rolled and packaged. Just open, light, and enjoy. Pre-made from a well oiled machine, and about $4 a pack here in CA ;)

Obama is like roll your own smokes. You get the tobacco, the tubes w/filters, and a machine to roll your own. You have more control over how much tobacco to put in, the type, etc and runs only about a $1/pack. Not as organized or easy, but still satisfies and at a lower price.

Edwards is like a cigar. Tightly rolled, all natural wrapper, and it takes a bigger flame to get him fully lit. A bit more expensive but also more aromatic. Comes in a smoky glass tube and does not seem to age much.

DK - is like a bowl of pot. A few puffs of him, and you feel all giddy. But you can't buy him cause they don't want him on the market.

Just thought a bit of levity was in order.

I'd take any one of our people over the goofy old party candidates any day of the week.

Sit back, have a smoke, and relax a spell.

Now on to comparing them to alcohol.....

8. Obama is more like a sheesha with that apple-y tobacco in it
Sweet, filtered, and cooled down.

Mike Gravel, however, is a Phillies blunt with some chronic rolled up in it.

14. I thought he said "fine" smoke!
No one would ever mistake a Phillies Blunt for a fine smoke, weed in it or not.

Oh yeah...one fine day I was at the convenience store buying fuel, and noticed a display of "blunt wrappers" behind the counter. Twenty little leaves of wrapper tobacco, all nicely flavored and ready for you to roll your own cigars, at least according to the label because, according to the label, these are for legal purposes only. Talk about the Wine Brick* for the 21st Century!

(The Wine Brick was a cube of compressed grapes they sold during Prohibition. On one side, the instructions read "for a refreshing beverage, mix this Wine Block with cold water in a large pitcher." On the other side, they were a warning: never mix this Wine Block with two gallons of water, a package of yeast and a pound of sugar. If you allow this to stand in a cloth-covered container for two weeks, an illegal alcoholic beverage will form.")

15. Not just "weed," my good man -- chronic.
A fine smoke with humble packaging, as it were.

That's hilarious about the Wine Brick. Reminds me of an article I read in a Chicago-area local rag about 20 years back, "warning" people about the opium poppies that grow wild in Illinois.

12. And John McCain is like a dog turd found in the yard,
hard to roll, hard to light, and when you do it drives everyone from the room.....

Yea, I know it was supposed to be our candidates but I live in Arizona. Can you blame me? :shrug:
