you might be right, using absurdity to point out the absurd, but i'm afraid the anti-smoking nazis won't get the point.

Hey, Einstein, she's pointing out the absurdity of the smoking bans.

You're the reason sarcasm tags were invented.

I know Carol Schwartz. I understand the piece and what she's doing. My post merely points out that DC is a stinking morass of stupidity.
Thanks for your note!

Any chance you could read the whole article instead of just the headline?

D.C. Council Chairman Linda Cropp describes the measure as "very thought-provoking." You have something in common with Linda Cropp.
To: dubyaismypresident
Nope - it is DC. Anything may be true.
You should see the other side of DC. It is an entire world within-a-world.
Like the river rats - they are like an entire culture, that the tourists NEVER see. Complete with their own economy.
The world is an amazing place.

Ok, that's it. I am now officially convinced that nobody actually reads the articles! I'm not sure who's funnier, Schwartz or us. Haha!
To: dirtboy
Absolutely!
I'm sorry dirt, but I'm starting to think some folks around here are so busy being angry about everything, they've forgotten how to really laugh once in awhile...
Schwartz was hoisting the anti-smoking nuts by their own petard.
No drinking in bars? hehehehehe (ah, before you focus on her Letter Assignment, look at what she's saying)
Serously, I'm starting to worry that if she had an R after her name, some around here would twist themselves into a pretzel trying to defend the idea of No Drinking in Bars...

Banning children in public. I'd be in favor of that. At least, ill-behaved children of liberal yuppie parents who consider any form of discipline as child-abuse.

Why are Cigars exempt from this? The town right next to ours is instituting a smoking ban, yet a cigar/Wine bar is getting all sorts of praise.
Isn't second hand cigar smoke full of carcinogens as well?

You should see the other side of DC. It is an entire world within-a-world. You mean like Anacostia? It's going to get turned into condos and riverfront restaurants within the next decade or so.
I kid you not.

and further more....any consenting adult entering my private place MUST, absolutely MUST drink and smoke. Sex is optional. But there will be no driving home until sober or sexually sated.

"It's called satire." Exactly.
She should push it further and propose a ban on 'bars' in bars.
