Go see "Thank You for Smoking" immediately!
This movie is genius, pure and simple.

For those of you who don't know, this movie is a satire about a lobbyist for big tobacco. I work as a lobbyist and have spent time working on the Hill, and let me tell you that this movie nails it perfectly, from beginning to end. Of course, there's a lot of humor infused into it, but hell, the whole time I was watching the film, I was saying myself, "Yep, that's how it is!" If you're the least bit interested in politics, you should go see this movie.

1. From what I have heard ***POSSIBLE SPOILER/EASTER EGG***
There isn't a single instance of smoking in the film. I do want to check it out.

5. Not by humans at least.
And not by anyone first-hand.

3. One of the funniest political books I've ever read - by Chris Buckley yet
A conservative with a sense of humor - go figure!
