That's great news about the smoking ban and the domestic partner benefits. What a nice headline to wake up to.

Now all of the Dane County bars are going to close when people start going to Rock County instead so they can smoke. :)

smoking in dane county

Submitted by michael donnelly on Mon, 2008-09-22 08:51.

It's not actually preventing people from smoking in all the bars in Dane County. It's only a ban for bars in towns in Dane County. State law prevents the county from ruling on cities or villages. So this will affect the bars in the Town of Madison but not in a couple of the little village islands within the City of Madison.

When they ban smoking in

Submitted by Shane Wealti on Fri, 2008-09-19 09:21.

When they ban smoking in Alaska the bars are going to complain that people are going to go to bars in Russia to smoke.

And on that day, Sarah Palin

And on that day, Sarah Palin will watch the smoke drifting up from Russia from her front porch and cry a single, frozen tear.
