Bloomberg loves his little police state, doesn't he?
an undocumented alien with a tourist visa that expired more than three years ago, Brian
An illegal alien Irishman that hangs out in bars all the time? I don't know if the reporter just made him up, but if he's real he should be deported.

Yes it is a fookin' crime Brian. So is overstaying your visit on an expired tourist visa.
Seriously, these smoking bans don't do anyone any good besides the state. Make something illegal, then rake in the dough.

I smoke...and here in the rural red zone they have not gone to the nazi tactics of NYC, Chicago, SF (and other metro's). There are several food joints in town that have a smoking ban, and the only good lil' restaurant that ALLOWS smoking is my preference -and that of many others (good food, pleasant owners, etc..) despite being a little hole in the wall.
And they use real ashtrays -not saucers :)

There are plenty of little places here in NY that ignore this stupid, idiotic, unnecessary law.
Still, THREE pubs in my neighborhood have folded and remain shuttered and unsold.
This is a law that NEVER should have been passed -- especially in a state that still doesn't have a budget (one was due on APRIL 1).
Regards,
PS: I am counting the days till I can get the hell out of NY. Can't come soon enough.

"Mr Mayor, you son of a bitch," he began, making a gun with index finger and upraised thumb, "you're dead." Deportation? Probably after a little jail time.

NYC is full of bar tenders, carpenters and house painters from Ireland who aren't legal. The late shift at my local bar is permanently staffed by Seans and Brians and Seamuses. If you're going to deport illegals, start with "sand goblins." If we didn't have a politically correct immigration policy, there'd be a lot more Irish here, legally, and the country would be a lot better off.

THAT, my friend, is absolutely the best post I have ever seen on the Free Republic. You encapsulated the 2004 presidential race in a nutshell!
Bravo to Dick Vomer!
