As the smoke comes and goes

Without me nothing left inside ... The old baseball fans will never forget that popular expression that odd Carlitos González became immensely better known when, with his characteristic vehemence, used it as an introduction to some of his sharp comments on the ball Creole. The

used that master of eloquence when he had no any reservation, not a shred of doubt entertained their analysis and, despite any contrary view, then formulated his claim that most of the time was an indisputable success .

I venture here with the usual leave, to borrow this resource to tell you, without me is nothing left inside, that the action taken by the Minister of Health, according to Official Gazette 39,623, dated 24 February 2011 prohibiting smoking in indoor areas of public places is one of the greatest decisions responsibility, more righteous and civilizing dimension of recent times. Finally, then, the revolution has made its first revolutionary step. And thank you.

defector is not rudeness of cigar after eating snuff for years who do not stand now I can not stand even the slightest whiff of nicotine. No. Is that really there are situations that have become inconceivable. The last time I was in a tavern in La Candelaria, or yesterday, floated a similar accumulation of cirrus, nimbus, cumulus, and stratus emanating from throats and noses of smokers who made it impossible to make out a fellow bar. We were

forced to find the Galician empanada squares groping around in the dish, like reading Braille. Nonono, that was awful! He had not swallowed the smoke from that historic evening of 1 May 2009 when the commander Benavides, under the command of his troops, attacked those who commemorated the anniversary of the saga of the Martyrs of Chicago shouting innocent and certainly nothing original instructions: "Down with the government!"

When not to have heard that phrase in Venezuela? Lifetime. That has been and must be a healthy domestic routine, like dominoes or the ball. We were missing some chattering alpargatudos and machete on his belt to that demonstration was a photo in sepia. At a command from Benavides, was all over with bombs, smoke, smoky, careers and bewilderment.

I do not understand this mess. How unfortunate is that now the Official Gazette cancels 39,624 39,623 what he said? You mean it does not matter "to protect citizens from the harmful effects of snuff? What changed from yesterday to today? Citizens no longer are, or the smoke is not harmful?

as Condorito Outburst: I demand an explanation! Incredibly, this laudable action has dissipated as a scroll in a hammock. What is karma blessed although one wishes he can not write something nice about the revolution? Looking

put the pieces of the puzzle, someone recalled an old headline: "Minister for threatening displaced tobacco." He was a minister of the process that was in office for four months, unless zephyr in hammock.

seems that more could the cigarette tariffs, now leave the fluff 533 billion.

But we also know that the head smoke. He confessed when he was hit by the news that the big boss, back in the island of cigars, had a gut pangs, "I sat on the bed, lit a cigarette." Then, my dear Watson The problem did not come from the public of the prohibition? You see, being the head of the embodiment of the public (not so much of the public as the obvious) that measure may cause serious troubles.

go figure the boss in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet reviewing, inter scroll and scroll, the latest polls. His presence would automatically turn the bathroom in a public place and then could not smoke.

boss distracted, scroll and scroll, and that the aide saw the smoke out under the door, he would play: "My comandantepresidente, permission to say that there can not smoke because is a public place. "A man who is a monk, no more distracting than save the country," neither could put a Tabaquite? totally unfair (Porphyry, thank you not to try gimmicky syntagmatic associations, they do not want to put me in tremendous scroll) .

And by the way, why the boss insists on smoking when the big boss has long been made that? always go back as poto.

Yesterday the Gazette collected 39,024! The press says that smokers are in limbo. Those who do not smoke the same. It seems that the Minister of Health also because it is nowhere side. Nobody says, nobody says. Some owners of bars mad as a litany repeated: you can, you can not, you can.

to a government, everyone should get the ball in 2012. As Charlie would say, to hitting with a rolled newspaper.
