I agree with Altria - what a useless advertisement? Certainly doesnt make me want to go out and buy the book. Tickle the taint a bit and give us an example or three?

Hey, if you think news (with or without columns) in the "free world" (not sure what this means) is objective and not bias than we agree to disagree…
