Butt out

The Journal Sentinel editorializes today against smoking in all public places statewide. Remember the good old days when reporters and editors used to be open caffeine and cigarette addicts? When a pack of Camels Unfiltered and a coffee mug were issued with their journalism school diplomas?

Now they're a bunch of shrill nannies. Next they'll want the power to compel all private restaraunts to serve brussel sprouts.

In the immortal words of Norm Peterson from Cheers, "I already have a mother, lush face!"
