"Producing Black Smoke..."

I love eBay. What a wonderful and mighty-big slice of life. You encounter the occasional idiot or attitude problem but there's a lot of honest people doing the best they can. 

I saw a listing for a smoking power tool, as stipulated. Oh, it is us. Let's put America on the leadership block. But we better be honest. We are producing smoke.

It's why we never look back and insist we've never done anything wrong, but denial catches up with you in the end. Remember desegregation? That's what denial will do for you.

We should be leading the world on every environmental front and socially progressive issue. It's our true tradition and a natural fit. Ah, but the smoke is already in our eyes...
